Why Choose Outdoor Tile?

Outdoor tiles are a great option for homeowners who want durability and design. In contrast to concrete or hardwood tile, which is made to endure severe climates, such as cold temperatures, heavy rainfall, or fierce sun. Even in harsh environments, they won't bend, fade, or break easily due to their exceptional weather resilience.

The long-lasting nature of outdoor floor tiles is one of its main benefits. These tiles, which require little maintenance and are made of durable materials like porcelain, stone, and ceramic, sustain their quality and beauty for many years. Additionally, they require very little care—just sweep, wash, or wipe clean as required. 

Beyond their practical use, outdoor tiles provide designers more creative freedom when it comes to patios, pathways, balconies, and pool decks. We have an outdoor patio tile or deck tiles designed to withstand extremes in temperature, whether you live in a dry desert or a humid coastal region. For any outdoor living area, outdoor tiles are the perfect base because of their unrivaled robustness, aesthetic variety, and simplicity of maintenance.

Functional Beauty: Safety, Slip Resistance Maintenance

Outdoor tiles are designed for functionality and safety, not simply aesthetics. When selecting tiles for patios, pathways, or pool surrounds, one important factor to take into account is their ability to prevent slippage. Our outdoor tiles are safer for heavy foot traffic or moisture-prone locations since many of them have textured or matte surfaces that provide improved traction even when wet.

Outdoor tiles require very little maintenance.  Unlike wood decking, outdoor tiles don’t require regular sealing, staining, or any kind of special treatment; hence, they fall under low maintenance category. They may typically be kept looking new with simple routine care, such as brushing away dirt and giving them a water rinse. A gentle brush and mild detergent are typically enough for stubborn dirt. 

UV-resistant tiles are another characteristic in our range that helps keep color from fading over time. This guarantees that your outdoor surfaces will continue to be colorful and fashionable even after years of exposure to the sun. Apollo Tile's outdoor solutions offer the ideal fusion of usability and style, whether you choose textured ceramic, natural stone, or porcelain.

These tiles offer a long-lasting visual impact and peace of mind, as they are non-slip, easy to clean, and retain their color over time.

Where to Use Outdoor Tiles

Outdoor tiles are an adaptable option for changing almost any outdoor space into a fashionable and usable place. Whether you're planning a major backyard renovation or simply updating a tiny section, these tiles provide both attractiveness and resilience on a variety of surfaces.

Outdoor tiles work wonders for patios, giving the area a clean, lifted look while being resistant to traffic and the elements. Large format outdoor tiles provide a spacious, clean, modern feel, while textured finishes create a rustic feel. If it is a walkway, outdoor tiles can help define garden pathways or entry areas, while slipping is still an issue to consider for outdoor areas, your outdoor tiles will aid in avoiding slips, as well as providing visual appeal!

When choosing tiles around pool sides, non-slip tiles are imperative for safety and comfort. For barefoot areas, porcelain or stone-look tiles are preferred because they don't just prevent slipping, and they're naturally cooler underfoot than many other flooring products. Balconies and rooftops typically have minimal space to work with, so lightweight tiles made of durable porcelain material that are quick and easy to install are the right selection. Roof decks and balconies should also consider tiles that are specifically engineered for fade-proof performance with limited or no water absorption and that are resistant to cracking due to sun and climatic temperature, and exposure to the elements.

A few installation tips:

• Always select a tile that is rated for outdoor (exterior) use and appropriate for your climate.
• Use a solid, level base such as a concrete slab or a prepared, compacted base of sand and gravel.
• Use frost-resistant mortar and grout if your area is subject to freeze-thaw cycles.
• Apply a sealer if indicated, especially for porous natural stones.
• Use the manufacturer's installation instructions for the best results.

With the right materials and good planning, any outdoor tile project can transform your space from average to extraordinary.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Tile - Colors, Sizes, Texture

Apollo Tile’s outdoor tiles come in a wide range of sizes, colors, and textures. Choose from glossy, matte, textured, lappato, honed, and polished. Choosing outdoor patio tiles means considering more than just looks. Outdoor tiles should combine function, form, and your location. Here are some things to consider when choosing outdoor tiles from industry professionals like Apollo Tile.

Climate greatly affects tile choice. If you live somewhere that has winters that freeze, frost-resistant porcelain tile or stone tile with low water absorption is best, to prevent cracking. In warmer, sunny locations, finish coatings that are UV-resistant will prevent fading and overheating. Choose our Green 24x48 Lappato Porcelain Large Format Tile or Maple 24x48 Matte Porcelain Deco Tile. Both tiles are designed to elevate the look of the outdoor space. Lappato finish brings an organic, natural look, while matte ribbon tile gives a textured and modern feel. For an even more grounded aesthetic, explore our wood look tile that combines the charm of timber with the durability of porcelain.

Traffic is another consideration. Outdoor tiles used in high traffic areas such as patios or pathways require heavier, more durable tiles—generally around 10mm to 20mm thick. For areas that have light to medium traffic (balconies, decorative areas of your garden), thinner tiles should suffice. Our Nude Pink 12x12 Glossy Penny Round Porcelain Mosaic Tile is all that you desire for balconies, patios, or garden pathways. The penny tiles give a vintage vibe, a charming look, and a solid surface to deal with heavy foot traffic. This Black 12x12 Glossy Penny Round Glass Mosaic Tile is no less than a design statement. Made up of fine-quality glass, these mosaics offer a beautiful outdoor space. Both of the tiles come in mesh-mounted sheets for a smooth and seamless installation.

The texture of the tile can make a big difference in safety and style. While polished and smooth tile may look sophisticated, wet tiles can be tricky and slippery. Textured tiles or matte finishes may be best for pools, driveways, or any area where wet surfaces are present. Gray 12x12 Brick Glossy Matte Textured Glass Mosaic Tile perfectly raises the look of various outdoor applications.

Thinking about style, think about how the tile relates to outdoor furniture (color style) and how lighting will play a role in the idea of your tile. Naturally warm earthy tones such as terracotta, beige, or slate will relate beautifully to your warm wood or warm rattan outdoor pieces and create a uniquely organic feel. Bold grey tiles, or deep blacks, look spectacular with metal or minimalist wooden outdoor pieces and impart a very trendy vibe. Beige 24x48 Polished Porcelain Large Format Tile turns your space into a masterpiece.

Lighting is equally important in understanding the perception of the tiles; the cooler the LED light, the more powerful the grey or blue tiles look, and the warmer the string lights or lanterns, the richer the brown tan tones look. Also, patio lights and other warm lighting will typically contrast more against warm colors, making the colors even more appealing. Blizzard Blue 11x13 Glossy Herringbone Glass Mosaic Tile with a unique pattern gives a dashing vibe to the space.

The ultimate goal is to select the right outdoor tile that reflects your lifestyle and climate, and how it relates to other aspects of your outdoor area. If selected correctly, you will have a functional, cohesive, and inviting space that looks exceptionally stylish.
