City Tile: Making Our Way Outdoors with Outdoor Tile

Posted by samantha on Aug 12, 2014 in What I've Done

Warm weather means more time outdoors, in the pool, in the garden, grilling on the patio, and just playing around in the sunshine.

Create your own outdoor oasis using outdoor tile, automatically transforming an unused portion of your yard or your boring planked deck into a stunning sitting room. You can create leisure and entertaining areas, quickly and easily.

From plain terra cotta or red clay to fancy glazed polychrome Spanish tiles, using tiles outdoors has been a tradition for centuries across the globe, especially in warm climates.

Concrete tiles are proving stronger and more long lasting than ceramics. Wood tiles have come of age for covering up old concrete or wood decks with squares of attractive wood flooring. Very thin stone tiles allow architectural stonework to extend into unique applications. Artisans are also hand-crafting specialty tiles with unique patterns and textures.

But why would you opt for outdoor tile? For one, it’s durable, meaning an investment goes a long way. But it is also easy to clean because it doesn’t absorb liquids or dirt.

The large selection in color and materials means you can find the right look for your outdoor space, no matter if you are covering the slab of concrete in your backyard or creating a new space in the garden you’ve worked years to cultivate.

Just imagine: garden walking paths, creating secondary patios or an extended outdoor seating with a tiles floor space complete with a fire pit, outdoor bar, or grilling station. Just gets you excited about summer, right?
