Alfresco tiles are becoming viral around your Adelaide house outdoors and indoors! From entertaining or relaxing to cooking or having dinner, it does not matter how you plan to use your alfresco area. Tiles will help you create the look and atmosphere you are searching for.
When choosing tiles for your Adelaide outdoor area, you must focus on functionality and looks. Your tiles must be durable enough to withstand the harsh weather conditions in Adelaide.
Here are a few aspects that will help you choose the perfect tiles for your Adelaide alfresco area:
Material
The outdoor space of your Adelaide house is continuously exposed to the harsh weather conditions of Adelaide. Therefore, the tiles you choose for that area should be very durable. For example, tiles made of natural stones can endure harsh weather elements more than ceramic tiles. They will also increase the value of your Adelaide house and give it a unique look. That is why they are the best tiles for any outdoor space.
The second-best are porcelain tiles. They are made to withstand any weather condition. They are also very low-maintenance. With just a sweep, these tiles will look as good as new.
Colour
Choosing the right colour for your tiles is critical. It will affect the whole look of your Adelaide house. Light colours, primarily white, will show dirt very quickly. You will have to keep them clean all the time. Additionally, light-coloured tiles will strongly reflect the sunlight. Outdoors, this will not be very comfortable.
On the other hand, dark-coloured tiles might not be a better option either. They do hide the dirt more; however, they will absorb more heat. In the summer, dark-coloured tiles could burn your feet. That is why choosing neutral colours for outdoor tiles is the best option.
Grey tiles, for example, will not absorb the heat. They will reflect the light, but not very strongly. Dirt will also not show clearly on your grey tiles.
Texture
To avoid accidents, choose slip-resistant tiles. Glazed, smooth tiles are more suitable indoors. They are easy to clean and maintain. Outside, they will become very slippery in the rain. Glazed tiles cannot also endure harsh weather conditions. They will crack under extreme temperatures. For your alfresco area, you need tiles that have some texture. Textured tiles are also more anti-slip.
