Outdoor paving using tiles is a great way to create spaces that are attractive and will last a long time. You may be surprised at just how useful tiles are for your outdoor areas. Here’s some more information.

Tiles are a great choice for paving your entertaining area, veranda, your home entrance or even around the pool. If you are going to use tiles for your outdoor paving, they need to be non-porous (or sealed), and be resistant to staining. Ideally, they will also be slip-resistant for safety. If you are using your tiles around the pool, you will need to make sure that they are salt-safe, or they will develop a white film over time.

Outdoor tiles are available in a huge range of shapes and sizes, from small square tiles through to large format tiles. They’re also available in different colours, textures, and patterns so you can create a look that is individual and matches perfectly with the rest of your home.

If you are having tiles in your outdoor areas, you will need the services of a registered and qualified tiler. The tiler will be able to advise you if your tiles are suitable for where they will be used, install them on the correct base (usually concrete for tiles), and make sure that the correct adhesives and grouting is used. The tiler will be able to create any pattern with tiles that you like, from simple right through to complicated, and they will minimise wastage as much as possible.
