Balboa Ice Ceramic Tile - Birch Wood Look Wall and Floor Retro

MSI Balboa Ice Ceramic Wall and Floor Tile brings the timeless beauty of natural birch hardwood to your home with a modern ceramic tile that requires zero maintenance. This retro-inspired collection delivers authentic wood aesthetics—complete with subtle knots and fine graining—while eliminating the upkeep, vulnerability to moisture, and daily care demands of real wood.

• Glazed Matte Finish: A smooth, satin-like surface that provides a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic, delivering sophisticated style that complements both traditional and modern interiors.
• Plank Format & Size: 6" × 24" planks create elongated proportions that amplify the wood-look appeal and maximize visual impact across larger spaces.
