The best outdoor paving tiles

The best outdoor pavings are those made of porcelain stoneware because of their high resistance to temperature shocks, low porosity and ability to have a non-slip finish. The most common tiles for this type of application generally have a thickness of 10 or 20 mm. The former is most commonly used when the material is bonded to the screed, while the latter is recommended for making raised floors (i.e. on plastic feet) or laid “dry” directly on grass, gravel and sand. The latter solutions are particularly suitable if you do not want a permanent fix but prefer to be able to remove and change the floor very easily. In addition to functional aspects, aesthetic features are today being considered more regularly. The most popular formats for this use are 120×120 and 60×120, while the most popular graphics are stone, concrete and wood effects, often designed to create continuity with the interior.

The advantages of 20 mm porcelain pavers

RESISTANT

The technical characteristics of the porcelain stoneware double – along with the thickness – to meet the needs of any type of outdoor application.

• The material – squared and rectified – has extremely high resistance to loads and traffic
• It does not change color or size and it does not deteriorate over time
• It is chemical resistant (including additives for pools and common household detergents)
• It is weather resistant (rain and wind), salt, corrosion and mildew resistant
• It is non-slip/non-skid (R11 A+B)
• Easy to clean
• Does not scratch
• Frost and fire resistant
• Does not require specific treatments or seasonal maintenance
• The light colors, carefully selected, have a high solar reflectance index. In other words, the material does not absorb much heat and does not become hot to the touch.

Is porcelain stoneware porous?

Unlike other materials such as wood, natural stone, and concrete, porcelain stoneware is not porous and therefore does not absorb liquids. This means it will not stain or crack, and will need no surface application or special maintenance. It is also suitable for commercial activities or humid environments such as bathrooms.

Porcelain stoneware terrace pavement tiles

The solidity of porcelain stoneware and its resistance to tread and external factors makes it the ideal material for outdoor flooring for gardens, swimming pools, terraces and balconies.

In addition to Florim’s high technical standards, aesthetically a stoneware floor for your terrace creates a continuity with your interior (e.g. bedroom, living room) through an uninterrupted surface that creates the idea of a single space.

Stone-effect porcelain stoneware is one of the most widely used for spaces such as balconies and terraces, but there are many alternatives in Florim’s collections, ranging from marble effect and concrete effect to wood or stone effect.

Porcelain stoneware on the patio

Porcelain stoneware can also be used to pave patios, because it resists weathering and temperature changes over time. Under certain conditions, such as near swimming pools or in pedestrian walkways, slippery characteristics must also be considered.

This is why it is always a good idea to consult experienced professionals before choosing which product to use.
