How to choose the tiles for the terrace

How to choose the tiles for the terrace
To choose terrace tiles, it is necessary to take into account that the external environment requires them to be waterproof, anti-slip and anti-freeze, resistant to loads, resistant to atmospheric agents and sudden changes in temperature, with a low propensity to mold and stains, as well as being preferably non-slip.
The choice of the color of the external flooring must be in harmony with the style of the house, allowing new technologies also the possibility of having effects of continuity between inside and outside. Generally, light colors are preferred so as not to attract the sun's rays and limit heating in the summer. Dark colors are preferred when outdoor spaces are exposed to the sun for a few hours.

In this sense, porcelain stoneware is ideal for choosing terrace tiles as it does not stain, does not crack, does not need surface applications or special maintenance, has a high resistance to foot traffic, does not change color over time, non-slip and non-slip collections / finishes can be chosen, the tiles are easy to clean and do not require specific treatments or seasonal maintenance.
The terrace is an element that adds value to any home, especially if it is large enough to allow for the arrangement of furnishing elements and, consequently, the choice of tiles must not be based exclusively on their functional character, but must also take into account aesthetics.

The cement effect porcelain stoneware with industrial references is one of the trends that continue to set the trend in the style of terraces.

The wood-effect stoneware tiles, for example, are suitable both for classic-style balconies, with wooden furniture, and for more modern solutions, which combine materials and colors that are
also different from each other.
The lighter floors allow you to decorate the terrace with dark wood furniture or to combine similar shades, so that there are finishes and accessories that can create a pleasant contrast with the harmony created by the tone-on-tone combination, so as to enhance the individual elements.

The stone effect porcelain stoneware tiles: a solution that easily adapts to different interior design styles, from the most classic to industrial. These are suggested for balconies and terraces in a modern or minimalist style, in which elements with more subdued colors and materials such as chromed metal or glass prevail.

For rooms created in a rural style, it is possible to opt for terracotta-effect porcelain stoneware tiles: the typically reddish color and the slightly coarser texture impose precise color combinations, which prefer warm and soft tones.

A trend that is already strong for the interiors of the house and is also extending to the external flooring of the terraces is that of multi-format schemes that mix squares with rectangles and hexagons.

What must always be kept in mind, regardless of the product chosen, is the final result you want to achieve: working alongside professionals who know how to recommend the best solutions and suggest innovative design ideas is essential to be able to make an informed choice that satisfies over time.
