Outdoor Tiler

One benefit of using tiles is that you can have them installed indoors and outdoors.  If you are getting tired of your old looking outdoor space, enhancing it with tiles can make a huge difference. You can have outdoor tiles installed on your patio, upstairs balcony or even around your outdoor kitchen.
 
Outdoor Tiling is done to create an attractive outdoor space for people to relax in during the summer days and nights or when the weather is warmer.
 
Outdoor tiles are made from various materials including wood and plastic. You can get tile stone or ceramic for the outside. Ceramic is the most popular material because it is easy to clean and resistant to water damage. Wood works well if you want a natural look and feel. It's also easy on your feet when walking, as wood is softer to walk on than other materials. Wooden surfaces are also easy to maintain, as you can use a wet cloth to clean it instead of having to scrub for hours.
 
Difference between Outdoor and Indoor tiles
The main difference between outdoor and indoor tiles is their base in the material they are made from. While indoor tiles are pretty much exclusively ceramic or porcelain, outdoor tiles can be made from different materials like wood, plastic or stone. You can always speak to our Outdoor Tilers in St Albans if you are unsure of which option to go for.
 
Tiling Outdoor Patio
Outdoor tiles are the best option for patios because they are resistant to water damage and easy to clean with a wet cloth. The outdoor patio's material and condition should be taken into consideration before installing the tiles.
 
If your existing tile is in a poor state, it may not be cost-effective to repair. It is much more financially sound to replace them entirely thus saving you money and time when compared with having them repaired.

Our friendly team are on hand to assist you.

Installing Outdoor Tiles

The important things to look for when installing outdoor tiles are:
  • Make sure that the base is waterproof. For instance, for a patio, you need a subfloor beforehand. Seal any holes or gaps between them and the surrounding paving material.
  • Your tiles should be easy to maintain. For instance, if they're high up and require a stepladder to reach then it will be much trickier than if they're on the ground.
  • As outdoor tiles are very hardwearing, you may not need as big a grout line – we recommend around 2cm – and the space between rows should be 15-20cm.  You can then space out tiles at around 10cm.
  • Finally, your outdoor tiles should be flat and level to allow for good drainage, which will prevent any problems with standing water. Take special care to make sure the grout is completely dry before this happens.
 
Outdoor Tiles are a great way of bringing detail to otherwise plain areas outside, but it's important you only use the best outdoor tiles for this type of project.
 
Outdoor Tiling Ideas
The best Outdoor Tiles are a better alternative to plain concrete and stone. They're longer-lasting, more decorative and can help you create a unique space that reflects your personality or lifestyle.
 
There are a wide range of materials with different finishes like gloss, matte and frosted – which can reflect light in unique ways, helping you create something that makes a real statement. Sizes range from mosaic patterned tiles to the more simple, larger solid tiles.
 
Within your exterior space, there are many areas of potential interest, including steps and borders for planting beds, walls and patios. Or maybe you want to create an attractive feature area for seating or dining? Whatever it is that you're looking to achieve with outdoor tiling ideas, our Outdoor Tiler in St Albans has a few tips to get your desired outcome.
 
Outdoor Wall Tiling Ideas
The most popular tile used for outdoor wall tiling is ceramic, which has many varieties. For example, the look can be classic or modern depending on colour, surface texture and pattern.
 
A popular choice to think about when it comes to outdoor wall tiling is glass tiles. These pieces are extremely durable and come in many shapes, colours and textures, so your options are limitless. Outdoor wall tiles also have a high resistance to heat, so you can use them on fireplaces and kitchens.
 
An important thing to keep in mind while going through the outdoor wall tiles is that they must be non-porous. However, it's also a good idea to choose a tile that emits medium water absorption since it won't be affected by humidity or rain.
