Whether you’re an architect planning an exterior area from scratch or an art consultant charged with revamping one, floor tiles are an excellent solution.
Attractive and versatile, high-quality tiles are also hardwearing. However, when selecting outdoor floor tiles for a project, it’s important to consider the materials they are made from to find the best fit. Here we look at some excellent options to consider and some to avoid and the reasons why.
Tiles made from natural stone are durable and look appealing, but in an outdoor space most are not a practical solution. When wet, unless it has been specially treated, most natural stone will present a slip hazard. Other natural stone types like marble can discolour when rained on, resulting in unpleasant stains.
Standard ceramic tiles aren’t frost proof due to the moisture left inside them during manufacturing. Their porous nature leaves room for frozen water to expand damaging the tiles. Our innovative approach, however, creates ceramic tiles that are non-porous, making them perfectly suited to poor weather conditions outdoors. They are also low maintenance and easy to clean, making them an excellent choice of tiles for outside use.
Porcelain tiles are a popular choice for outdoor tiling. Porcelain is more durable and hardier than other tile types. The porcelain tiles we produce offer many benefits including being impervious to mould and frost. Porcelain also comes in a wide variety of finishes so you can always find the correct look to match a design project.
Porcelain has a reputation for being smooth, but our external grade tiles are engineered to offer anti-slip capabilities. Tiles are supplied with different anti-slip levels to meet project needs and use finishes like matte, rough and grooved patterns to practical effect.
