Choosing your outdoor porcelain stoneware

1. WHAT EFFECT TO CHOOSE?

WOOD EFFECT

Offers all the charm of wood with the resistance and easy maintenance of porcelain stoneware, without the constraints of a natural material.

2. What thickness should I choose?

1 or 2 cm?

2 cm porcelain stoneware is the preferred choice for outdoor landscaping. More robust than 1 cm tiles, it better withstands mechanical stress, repeated foot traffic, and climatic variations. It also offers more installation possibilities (on pedestals, on a bed of gravel, on sand, or glued), making it the most durable solution for a terrace, a driveway, or a swimming pool surround.

Answers to your questions about porcelain stoneware?

How to maintain outdoor tiles?

Maintaining outdoor tiles is very simple thanks to their low porosity and non-slip surface. Unlike natural stone, it does not need to be sealed, but it is possible with Lithofin MN protection. Regular cleaning with Lithofin MN Ext is enough to preserve its natural color and original effect. For terraces, an occasional scrubbing with a stiff brush removes dust, sand, or moss deposits. These outdoor tiles are ideal for wet areas like swimming pools, thanks to their durability and minimal maintenance. Choosing outdoor tiles guarantees a durable and easy-to-maintain floor.

What is the lifespan of outdoor tiling?

Outdoor tile is renowned for its exceptional durability. Thanks to its very low porosity and high mechanical resistance, it retains its technical and aesthetic properties for several decades. It is not affected by impact, frost, or bad weather, making it a reliable choice for any outdoor space. In case of breakage, a tile can be easily replaced, especially when installed on pedestals.

👉 This outdoor tile is designed to withstand the most demanding climatic conditions. It does not fade in the sun or crack with frost, guaranteeing an impeccable appearance over time. It is a durable and ecological solution for modern outdoor landscaping and pathways.
