The 50x50 Goody Wood Effect Floor Tile is a 50x50cm ceramic tile with a satin/matte finish. It is engineered for indoor floor application in residential and light-to-medium traffic commercial environments, providing a durable surface that combines the aesthetic of natural wood with the functional benefits of ceramic. The price is KES 1750.00 per square metre (m²). As each tile covers an area of 0.25m², four tiles are required to cover one full square metre. Tiles are typically supplied in boxes covering 1.5m² (6 tiles per box) at a cost of KES 2,625.00 per box. Below is a cost estimation for typical residential spaces, excluding adhesive, grout, and labour costs.

Application & Area Suitability

The 50x50 Goody Wood Effect Floor Tile is specified for interior use across various environments. Its medium durability rating makes it suitable for all residential areas, including high-traffic zones such as hallways and living rooms, as well as bedrooms and home offices. The tile also performs well in residential kitchens where spills are infrequent. The ceramic body resists wear from typical household foot traffic, ensuring the tile maintains its appearance even in busy hallways.

For commercial contexts, its use is recommended for light-to-medium traffic areas. This includes spaces such as boutique retail stores, private offices, meeting rooms, and reception areas not subject to heavy rolling loads or extreme abrasion. The satin/matte finish offers an advantage in busy Kenyan homes and offices because it effectively conceals dust, footprints, and minor scuffs between cleanings, maintaining a clean appearance with minimal effort.

Technical Specifications & Performance

The tile's performance comes from its ceramic composition and surface finish. The ceramic body provides a stable and water-resistant substrate. The finish delivers both functional and aesthetic properties. The satin/matte texture offers enhanced grip underfoot, contributing to its R10 anti-slip rating. This increases safety in areas prone to occasional moisture. This tile replicates the visual warmth of timber flooring. It avoids the scratches, moisture damage, or pests inherent in natural wood.

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

The 50x50 Goody Wood Effect Floor Tile is designed for standard installation procedures. Its ceramic composition allows for clean, easy cuts with a standard tile cutter, simplifying fitting around obstacles and perimeters. The tile’s pressed edges require a grout joint of 3mm to 5mm. For a monolithic appearance that enhances the wood effect, use a grout colour that closely matches the tile's primary tone, such as a light grey or beige. This minimises the visibility of grout lines, creating the illusion of continuous planks.

Maintenance of the tile is straightforward. The low-porosity ceramic and durable satin/matte finish mean the tile requires no sealing or waxing. Use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaning solution for routine cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the surface finish over its lifespan.
