What Makes a Great Outdoor Tile?

Outdoor tiles must meet a high standard of quality and performance to withstand certain elements. That means they need to be more than just visually appealing; they also need to be:

• Stain-proof: Outdoor porcelain tiles are non-porous, so they don't have microscopic crevices in which dirt can get trapped. This makes them incredibly easy to clean. Just a bit of warm, soapy water every now and then is all it takes to keep them looking fresh.
• Slip-resistant: Safety is vital, especially for outdoor areas exposed to rain or moisture. Slip-resistant tiles help reduce the risk of accidents, making your outdoor space safer for family and guests.
• Frost-resistant: Porcelain tiles don't absorb water; they won't freeze and crack during colder months. This frost resistance is ideal for British weather and guarantees a longer-lasting outdoor tile.
• Scratch and fade-resistant: Porcelain tiles are fired at over 1,000°C in a kiln, which makes them extremely hard and durable. This process also seals in the colour, making the tiles highly resistant to UV rays and everyday wear and tear.

Why Choose Porcelain for Outdoors?

Porcelain is a type of ceramic tiles known for its strength and water resistance, which makes it ideal for outdoor use, where durability and strength are required.

Even though porcelain can be slightly brittle and may require extra precaution during installation, its long-term benefits outweigh this. Porcelain tiles outdoor performs well in all weather conditions, making them suitable for both homes and commercial environments.

Design Options

One of the biggest advantages of porcelain tiles is their versatility in design. They can replicate the look of natural materials such as marble, granite, wood, or even steel, without the extra maintenance requirements or cost of the real thing.

This gives you the freedom to achieve the outdoor aesthetic you want, whether you're creating a rustic garden path or a sleek, modern patio.

Low Maintenance

Porcelain tiles are among the toughest flooring options available today. They're hard-wearing, dense, and designed to withstand extreme weather and temperature changes. This makes them ideal for outdoor environments where reliability matters.

Maintenance is minimal—just occasional cleaning is needed to keep them looking great. And if a tile ever gets damaged, it's simple to replace an individual tile rather than an entire area.

Each tile also has its own unique texture and pattern, adding visual interest and enhancing the overall appeal of your outdoor space. 

Where Can You Use Outdoor Tiles?

Outdoor tiles are incredibly versatile and can be used in many areas of your home's exterior. These include:

• Front porches
• Patios
• Driveways
• Garden pathways
• Balconies and terraces

The exterior of your home is just as important as the interior. Selecting quality outdoor tiles can boost appeal and add value to your property in the future.
