Collection: Outdoor flooring

The outdoor natural stone paving is one of the most durable and attractive coverings for a terrace. Whether for a modern or traditional home, there is a wide choice of slabs in natural stone suited to all styles. Among the most popular: limestone, granite, sandstone and travertine, which each offer good resistance, even in extreme conditions.

Our stone slabs are available in a wide variety of formats, thicknesses and finishes: brushed, sandblasted, bush-hammered, or even aged (tumbled) for a more rustic effect. This type of paving gives your outdoor terrace a natural look and a unique character.

For installation, you have several options depending on the substrate: on adjustable pedestals, on concrete screed, or on a compacted sand bed.

The porcelain stoneware terrace slabs are suitable around a swimming pool, in a garden, or for pedestrian access. Their frost resistance, moisture and wear resistance make them perfect for intensive outdoor use. In addition, our wide range of products is available online or in store, with personalised support for measuring and delivery.

Porcelain stoneware is today one of the most popular materials for outdoor terrace paving. Highly performant, this outdoor tiling is hard-wearing, attractive and easy to maintain, while offering very good value for money.

Porcelain stoneware is ideal for covering a terrace, a path or the surroundings of a swimming pool. Thanks to its exceptional technical properties, it resists impacts, stains, frost and UV rays. It is a floor covering that retains its appearance over time, without deteriorating.

Another major advantage: porcelain stoneware is available in a wide variety of colours. It can perfectly imitate stone, wood or concrete, with a stunning, modern look. You enjoy the aesthetics of noble materials without their maintenance constraints.

Its standard thickness of 2 cm allows it to be glued or laid on pedestals, making it compatible with all outdoor terrace configurations. In addition, it is often offered in a rectified format, with clean edges for laying with fine grout joints and a very contemporary result.

Porcelain stoneware tiles are available from stock in a wide range of colours (beige, grey, …), formats (60x60, 60x90, opus…) and R11 non-slip finishes to ensure optimum safety, even when wet.

Crazy paving (opus incertum) is a type of outdoor paving made of natural stones of irregular shapes, laid freely to create a unique pattern and authentic look. This floor covering is particularly popular for garden terraces, outdoor paths and landscape borders. It appeals with its natural style, rustic and completely timeless.

Used for centuries, crazy paving (opus incertum) is an excellent choice for those who want outdoor paving with an attractive appearance and warm feel. Each stone, different from the others, gives character to your terrace, while blending perfectly into the natural environment of the garden.

Available in slate, gneiss, quartzite, or even limestone, this material is both robust, frost-resistant, non-slip and very resistant to weather and wear. Thanks to its naturally irregular surface, it offers good grip, which makes it particularly suitable for terraces, paths or pool surrounds.

Crazy paving (opus incertum) is easy to lay. It is also very economical to buy, making it an outdoor paving solution at an attractive price, without compromising on quality or the final result.

Yes, natural stone pavers are perfectly suited to creating outdoor terraces, especially if you are looking for a traditional atmosphere, authentic or a “old streets” style. This floor covering is also widely used for courtyards, paths, and even drivable areas, thanks to its exceptional strength.

The pavers come in granite, sandstone, or limestone, each providing a different shade and texture (grey, beige, sand, anthracite…). They are frost-proof, very weather-resistant and hard-wearing, and easily withstand the passage of light vehicles (light-vehicle rated) or pedestrians. Their thickness, generally between 5 and 8 cm, gives them excellent stability once laid.

This type of outdoor paving is available in stock in several formats (20x14, 14x14, etc.) and with different finishes: sawn, aged (tumbled), bush-hammered, or natural. They are generally laid on a bed of compacted sand, sometimes on stabilized screed, to ensure good drainage and a long-lasting installation.

Opting for pavers as terrace paving lets you create an attractive outdoor space, with an inimitable character, while ensuring great durability. Easy to maintain, they require little upkeep, and are compatible with most garden styles or landscaping.

Choosing the right outdoor paving for your terrace depends on several essential criteria to ensure the durability, aesthetics and good value for money of your floor covering. Here are the points to consider:

• How you will use your terrace: depending on whether it is a pedestrian terrace, a garden path, a pool surround or a vehicle-accessible area, the type of outdoor slab may vary. For example, pavers are ideal for vehicle-accessible areas, whereas porcelain stoneware is perfect around a pool.
  
• The material:
  The porcelain stoneware is highly appreciated for its strength, its easy maintenance and its imitation effect (wood, concrete, stone, slate…). Natural stone (travertine, limestone, granite, slate…) appeals with its authenticity and its durability.

• The look you want:
  The choice of color (beige, grey, sand…), the format (large rectified slabs, crazy paving (opus incertum), pavers…), the appearance (aged, modern, rustic…) and the finish (brushed, sandblasted, bush-hammered…) will influence the final look of your outdoor terrace.
  
• The type of installation:
  On pedestals, for optimal drainage and easy installation. On concrete screed or mortar, for a more fixed and durable result. On a sand bed, especially for pavers or crazy paving (opus incertum).

• Strength: The chosen paving must be frost-resistant, non-slip, resistant to UV, weather and wear, especially in case of prolonged exposure or frequent traffic.

• Budget and current offers: Some formats in stock or products available on promotion can allow you to benefit from an attractive price per m² without compromising quality. Compare prices carefully according to the material and the supply.

• The exact measurement of the surface: A precise study of your surface is essential to calculate the right quantities, avoid waste, and obtain a personalized quotation. Our team can assist you with your measurement, directly in store or remotely.

• Routine maintenance of outdoor paving

The outdoor paving in natural stone does not require any complicated maintenance. Simple regular cleaning with a broom and a jet of water is enough to keep your slabs radiant. These simple actions effectively remove dust, dead leaves and organic deposits without damaging the natural stone.

A well-maintained outdoor paving is not only more attractive, but also more durable over time. This routine cleaning, carried out once a week or after heavy rain, extends the life of your outdoor surfaces.

• Anticipate stains: protect with a water-repellent treatment

To extend the beauty and cleanliness of your outdoor paving, it is recommended to apply a water-repellent treatment. This type of product, such as PROTECTION W from the brand Lithofin, is designed specifically for natural stone.

A water repellent forms an invisible barrier that prevents water, stains and grease from penetrating the stone. This greatly facilitates future maintenance, especially in sensitive areas such as around swimming pools, barbecues or summer lounges.

Tip: The water-repellent treatment must be applied after complete drying of the paving, including adhesive and mortar. For installation in winter, it is recommended to wait until spring.

You can also use MN FLECKSTOP, an oil- and water-repellent from Lithofin, which is particularly effective against grease and cooking oils.

• Deeper cleaning after winter

After a wet winter, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to remove moss, algae and other dirt.

ALLEX : concentrated anti-moss (1/10 dilution) to spray on outdoor paving in natural stone. This product works for several weeks and avoids the use of a high-pressure washer, which is often too aggressive.
EXTERIOR CLEANER: to be used neat on organic stains (droppings, flowers, fruit, leaves…). Leave to act, then rinse.
These specific Lithofin products allow for effective cleaning without altering the surface of natural stone.

To fit out a terrace around your pool, the choice of floor covering is essential. It must combine strength, aesthetics and safety. Among the available products, there is natural stone paving such as travertine or even stone-effect ceramic slabs.
