Wood-look tile floor, open-plan install

On a floor this wide the set-out decides everything. Planks were run from a single centre line so the pattern stays square to the room and the cuts land evenly at both walls rather than tapering off at one end.

Levelling clips hold each plank flush to its neighbour while the adhesive goes off, which is what keeps a long plank format from lipping. Porcelain in a wood look suits Arizona: it takes the heat and the foot traffic that solid timber would not.
