The Venetian Ivory External Porcelain Floor Tile is an excellent alternative to the traditional paving slab. The porcelain construction gives the appearance of natural stone, whilst the ivory colour brings a bright and homely feel to your outdoor space. Thanks to its hardwearing construction, the highly durable Venetian tile features algae resistant, anti-slip and anti-frost properties that help to prevent the risk of slipping. The Venetian tiles are an excellent choice for busy outdoor areas. They require no sealing and can be fitted directly to a solid subfloor, narrower grout joints can be used than those with traditional tiles/slabs due to their contemporary straight-cut precision rectified edges. This dense construction gives these tiles the strength to be used over adjustable pedestals to make outdoor and indoor heights match, and this helps create a free-flowing design that can give your home a seamless connection. Due to the properties of porcelain, these tiles will not fade or weather when exposed to natural elements, and they can be easily cleaned with a jet wash. Why Porcelain Tiles? Porcelain tiles are incredibly popular when it comes to tiling options, with one of their standout features being their durability. Baked at incredibly high temperatures, porcelain tiles are also made from more dense clay than ceramic tiles, making the end product incredibly tough. Another benefit of porcelain tiles is that they have a much lower water absorption rate than other tiles, meaning that porcelain tiles can be used in areas prone to high humidity levels such as bathrooms, wetrooms and kitchens, as well as in high traffic areas such as hallways and kitchens. What is an R11 anti-slip rating? R11 anti-slip rated tiles are regarded as a safe option for installations in dry and wet areas throughout your home, such as in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. Also suited to commercial areas due to being hardwearing and durable, R11 rated anti-slip tiles can be installed in shopping centres, hotel lobbies, and office buildings. R11 rated anti-slip porcelain tiles can be used internally and externally, making them a great option if you wish to create a seamless and uninterrupted transition from your kitchen or dining room to your external patio or garden area.
