Selecting The Perfect Tile Style For The Outdoor Patio

It’s important to ensure that your tile choice will be able to withstand the demands of your local climate. For warmer areas, most tiles will be suitable. If you live in a colder temperature, then you need to select a tile that will be able to withstand the changing temperatures. Generally, ceramic tiles can handle mild weather conditions and light foot traffic. Because of this, we recommend picking ceramic for covered patios or patios that don’t see a lot of extreme weather changes. It’s important to note that not all ceramic tile is made the same. Some types are weaker or stronger than others, so choosing a more durable option such as our external range of Alto Dolomiti are best for outdoors. A porcelain tile is dense and strong, which makes it a good choice for outdoor use. External porcelain tiles are what to look for as they have a stronger grip and a more textured surface to minimise slip, which are more durable for tropical or wet climates.
