Which tiles are best for a porch?
Products used outside are exposed to the elements & dirt so the the product needs to be hardwearing, frost proof, anti slip & easy to clean & maintain all year round. The beauty of tiles on a porch is more than just kerb appeal. They are hardwearing and resistant to the changing British weather & with anti slip options available now even more functional. Usually as these products are installed on a solid base there is no major difference between this method of installation & traditional floor tiling. You do not need to have the 20mm thick tiles and the size options available opens up almost infinite choice.
There is a large amount of porch & outdoor tiles to select from such as Natural Stone, Quarry Tiles, Porcelain Tiles & Porcelain Paving and below we discuss these options in more detail.
Porcelain Tiles
Have almost zero water absorption making them the perfect choice for outdoor flooring areas including porch way tiles. Porcelain tiles are easy to clean and maintain and are not affected by frost or uv rays. You can use almost any thickness of porcelain tile outside as long as it is installed on a solid concrete base. We recommend using 9+mm thickness and use only anti slip tiles.
Porcelain Paving
Extremely popular for patio renovations due to all the same attributes as porcelain tiles. The major benefit of porcelain paving is it comes in a thicker tile 16-20mm making them extremely hardwearing and strong and the perfect material for external use.
Quarry Tiles
A very popular choice for porch flooring as they are very strong & durable. Providing a more traditional look but yet combine perfectly with other materials therefore complimenting both contemporary and more traditional feel to any porch area.
Natural Stone
Always a stylish options you can choose for a porch providing a timeless finish but may require more maintenance and not as well suited to the every demanding British weather.
