Best Tiles For Outdoor Patios

Most homeowners choose poured concrete, stone, or brick paver products for their outdoor patios because they may be less aware of other flooring materials, which do serve good both in terms of appearance and durability. Besides porcelain and ceramic tiles, homeowners can add natural stone tiles to their patios to bring luxury and elegance to their property.

Porcelain Tiles: Porcelain is a strong and dense form of ceramic, so porcelain tiles can also be used in patio applications. When choosing Outdoor tiles for patios, choose the matte and textured without glossy surfaces because they will be slippery when wet or during rainy seasons. One of the best things about porcelain tiles is that they can mimic the appearance of other flooring materials like marble, wood grains etc.

Travertine Tiles: Travertine tiles belongs to the natural stone family and has a beautiful colour and texture. Travertine is mined in natural mineral spring deposits which are considered a form of limestone. The reason for the travertine’s longevity is its hardness property, and its surface is slightly pitted, which may collect dust if it’s not polished well.

Ceramic: Ceramic tiles will be a good choice for outdoor spaces, especially patios, and they carry a PEI rating, helping homeowners choose the tile-based on the usage and application. When compared to other flooring materials, the sturdiness of ceramic tiles is quite less and will be more suitable for light use patios. Ceramic tiles cost less when compared to other flooring materials, so they will be ideal for homeowners who are on a tight budget.

Limestone: Due to its relative abundance, limestone, a sedimentary rock, has always been a favourite rock for most builders since ancient times. Limestone comes in various shades, such as brown, grey, red, and tan, and due to its light colours, it keeps the surroundings cool. Sealing these tiles with high-quality sealers will help prevent water from seeping into these tiles.
