Outdoor flooring: the best tiles for any environment

Orient yourself in the choice of outdoor flooring, to make terraces, paths, gardens and pool edges in line with our style and that of the house.

When it comes to choosing outdoor flooring, there are two main considerations to make. The first concerns the technical characteristics of the outdoor tiles , which must be able to withstand thermal shocks and bad weather. The second, on the other hand, involves the aesthetic characteristics of the living space that you want to create.

In both cases, porcelain stoneware turns out to be the perfect material to fulfill both purposes: available in many colors and finishes, its technical properties make it the best possible material for outdoor installation.

Ceramic, the perfect choice for modern and safe outdoor tiles

Outdoor flooring to be used in gardens, terraces, balconies and walkways need to resist outside and fit perfectly into the environment. The choice of outdoor flooring must take into account specific variables: in addition to aesthetic criteria, functional criteria must also be considered.

The material that you want to lay for the outdoor flooring, in fact, must be adapted to the needs of the place where it is installed and to the living environment in which it is to be placed, without sacrificing the technical characteristics necessary for outdoor installation.

Porcelain stoneware is a winning choice even when it comes to outdoor flooring : generally, in fact, all outdoor flooring should be waterproof, anti-freeze, resistant to loads, resistant to atmospheric agents and temperature changes - all characteristics of porcelain stoneware. .

Another factor to take into consideration when choosing is the intended use: depending on whether an outdoor flooring will be used as a pedestrian path, a pavement for a swimming pool, a walkway in the garden or other. With the possibility of laying the tiles on grass, gravel or performing an elevated installation, porcelain stoneware is also a drive-over material, which therefore adapts to any type of need and decoration for the outside.

Whatever the use and style of the dwelling in which it will be placed, the porcelain stoneware slabs will be able to match any living style with finishes capable of imitating all types of materials, while maintaining functionality and excellent performance.

Garden floor: stone effect and wood effect in comparison

When it comes to choosing an outdoor flooring , the stone effect and the wood effect are the best choices. With the same technical performance, the propensity towards one or the other will be dictated by the style of the house in which the flooring will have to fit.

Choosing a stone-effect porcelain stoneware garden floor means opting for tiles that perfectly reflect the material essence of natural stone : in these cases, the style of the home will be elegant and modern, helping to create a warm and welcoming environment.

The stone-effect porcelain stoneware of the Provence collection is the perfect solution for floors capable of giving refinement and depth to environments, drawing inspiration from the floors of ancient Provencal farmhouses, reinterpreting them and making the graphics and colors that give this stone an effect more sophisticated. “Lived-in” but at the same time elegant and suitable for any environment, from classic to the most modern and contemporary.

17 60x120 slabs have been processed to make each floor unique and natural , with graphic effects that mix character and harmony and different shades as in the original stones but without ever exceeding in shading.

If, on the other hand, we are talking about wood-effect porcelain stoneware, the style we want to recall is reminiscent of the mountains, nature and tranquility . The naturally elegant wood-effect stoneware of the Daring collection is a perfect reproduction of wood-effect porcelain stoneware slats. With Daring, Rondine has enclosed the softness and surface brilliance of natural wood in its proposal.
