Our Outdoor Tile range

Outdoor tiles ask more of a surface, and our range is curated to meet it. You will find hard-wearing porcelain in stone, travertine, concrete and timber looks, in structured finishes designed to hold grip when wet and to weather the Australian climate without fading or frost damage.

Our outdoor floor tiles run from standard-bodied porcelain for bedded installations to robust 20mm pavers that can be laid on gravel, sand, pedestals or grass, the kind of garden tiles that take foot traffic, furniture and seasons in their stride. The palette is built to sit naturally with planting, timber, stone and water, so the surface settles into a landscape rather than sitting on top of it. Our team can supply full slip-rating, format and suitability documentation along with samples so the outdoor specification is sound before anything is laid.

Choosing the right outdoor tiles for the project

Outdoors, performance leads the conversation. Slip resistance is the first consideration, so structured and textured finishes are specified for terraces, pool surrounds, steps and garden paths where surfaces get wet, and our team can supply the relevant slip-rating documentation for compliance. Frost and UV resistance matter just as much, quality outdoor porcelain holds its colour under harsh sun and resists damage through temperature swings, which is what keeps an outdoor floor looking right over years rather than seasons. Format is the next decision, 20mm pavers suit dry-lay and pedestal systems over gardens, decks and uneven ground, while thinner bodies suit bedded terraces and balconies. For pool surrounds, the brief tightens further around slip and chemical resistance. Talking these through early, with the right documentation, keeps the outdoor garden tiles you specify both safe and durable.

How to design your outdoor space

The best outdoor spaces feel like a continuation of the home, not a hard stop at the back door. Outdoor tiles let you treat a terrace, courtyard or garden as a considered room, with a floor that grounds the space the way an interior surface would. A travertine-look paver brings honeyed warmth to a poolside, a timber-look porcelain gives the softness of decking without the upkeep, a fine concrete look lends a calm, contemporary base for planting and furniture. Run thoughtfully, outdoor floor tiles draw the eye out into the landscape and make a garden feel larger and more resolved. The surface should invite people to linger, then quietly hold up to weather, traffic and time.
