Yes, outdoor porcelain tiles are relatively easy to maintain. Their non-porous surface makes them resistant to stains, mould, and mildew. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with mild soap and water are usually sufficient to keep them clean although we have stronger cleaning products also if required. Outdoor porcelain tiles are available with textured finishes to make them more slip-resistant, and they generally require less maintenance compared to natural stone options.

Many outdoor floor tiles, including outdoor porcelain tiles, come with slip-resistant features. They are designed to provide traction and reduce the risk of slipping, even when wet. Look for tiles with textured or matte finishes, as they tend to offer better slip resistance. However, it’s essential to choose the right type of outdoor tile and finish to suit your specific outdoor space and its exposure to moisture. All of our outdoor 20mm porcelain floor tiles have a European standard slip resistance rating.

Porcelain is often considered one of the best materials for outdoor floor tiles due to its durability, resistance to moisture and wide range of design options. Other materials like stone, slate and quarry tiles can also be suitable, depending on your aesthetic preferences, although many of these other materials require higher levels of maintenance. Porcelain remains a popular choice due to its versatility and low maintenance.

Yes, there are several ways that you can use a 20mm porcelain outdoors. They can be loose laid onto grass, into sand or gravel, onto specially made stilts, or fixed in the traditional way with cement based adhesives. Please see separately our recommended fixing guides. While DIY installation is possible, we strongly recommend professional installation for outdoor tiles.
