Top Tips For Tiling Outside

In the past months, we’ve written blog posts featuring tips for tiling different areas around your home. This month, we cover your outside spaces!

Choose your tiles

We stock many tiles which are perfect for outdoor use. With many different attributes such as anti-slip properties – there is a wide variety of options to choose from.

Diablo

The Diablo family of tiles are a fantastic choice for outdoor patio installations, being both anti-slip and modular makes this range easy to install and visually appealing.

Valletta

The Valletta family of tiles is a great, durable tile. The thicker 20mm size means it is perfect for pathways, surrounded by grassy areas. Available in 5 colours, the Valletta tile is a fantastic choice for any garden.

Colour & style

Much like tiling in many other household areas, the colour and style of the tiles you choose can greatly influence the appearance of your garden.

When tiling an outdoor area, there is often a lot more to take into consideration than indoors. What area of your garden gets the most sun, for example? You may want to consider using lighter or darker tiles in different areas of your garden depending on the sun and shade to help enhance the feeling of space.

Dividing your garden

Having your garden split into multiple sections is a great way to make your garden feel bigger.

Many people choose to tile areas of their garden as tiles are much easier to maintain than grass and flowerbeds. This doesn’t mean, however, that outdoor tiles can be forgotten about if you wish to preserve a clean appearance – they will still need to be routinely cleaned as rain and weathering can affect the surface. By using a cleaner, you can preserve the appearance of your tiles for years to come. If you’re looking for a cleaner perfect for cleaning outdoor tiles, we highly recommend the Lithofin MN Outdoor Cleaner.
