Can I Use Indoor Tiles Outdoors?

Installing Outdoor Tiles

Well, the time has come to install or replace the flooring in your Adelaide home! You must take the time to consider the correct type of flooring material for your application. It can be a daunting task, but we're here to help you select the right floor tile for the exterior of your home.

 

While you can use tiles all over the home—inside and out—it is essential to look into the types of tiles that fit the different areas of your home. At Aurees Tiles, we have over ten years of industry experience and can help you find the perfect tile for your home's outdoor area. We understand that it can be challenging to know which types of tiles to use inside and which to use outside, but if you choose the wrong tile, your flooring could be susceptible to corrosion and damage because of the conditions.

 

So, which tiles are best suited to which environment? And what's the difference between an indoor and outdoor tile? We have listed essential aspects below to help ensure you make the right tiling choice. Keep reading to find out more.

 

Durability

Indoor tiles are not equipped to withstand outdoor conditions such as heat, frost, and direct sunlight. However, the right outdoor tile can withstand these conditions with ease.

 

The exterior of your Adelaide home tends to be subject to a significant amount of wear and tear compared to the inside of your home. For example, your outdoor areas are continually exposed to the weather's elements and high traffic—people walking about with shoes on, kids mucking around, and gardening equipment dragging along the floor occasionally.

 

These reasons alone are why purchasing a tile explicitly made for the outdoors is vital. At Aurees Tiles, we have an extensive range of outdoor tiles perfect for various outdoor applications. Our friendly team is more than ready to work with you to discuss your wants and needs and help you find your ideal outdoor tiling solution!

 

Textured, Non-Slip Finish

Another critical difference between indoor and outdoor tiles is surface texture. Because your outdoor tiles are outside, they get exposed to various weather conditions, sometimes creating a slippery surface. Naturally, you want a non-slip tile surface to protect yourself, your family, and your guests. External tiles should always have a textured surface, as it will help your shoes grip the ground and reduce the risk of accidents.

 

If you're looking for premium Adelaide outdoor floor tiles, look no further than the team at Aurees Tiles. With several years of experience and a passion for excellence, we will help you choose your ideal floor tile for whatever application.

Grout and Tile Maintenance: How to Keep Tiles Adelaide Looking New
Go into any Adelaide home five or 10 years after the tiles were laid, and you will usually hear one of two stories. In the first, the floor and walls still look as new as the day they were put down. The second is that the tiles themselves are fine, but the grout tells another […]

Kitchen Tiles Adelaide: Splashback and Floor Combinations That Work Together
Splashback and floor tiles are usually chosen weeks apart, sometimes by different people, and often at entirely different stages of a kitchen renovation. The floor gets locked in early, before the layout is even finalised, while the splashback is picked much later, once the benchtop and cabinetry are already installed. The result, more often than […]

Porcelain Benchtops and Splashback Tiles: The Adelaide Kitchen Trend Gaining Ground
There’s a clear shift in what people choose for their kitchens these days. It's no longer just splashback tiles behind the stove; now, large porcelain slabs do double duty as both a benchtop and a splashback, wrapping around the kitchen as one continuous surface. It’s not really a passing trend borrowed from a renovation show. […]

Entry and Living Room Tiles Adelaide: Making the First Impression Last
Look for furniture that can withstand the coastal elements. Untreated steel and lower-grade stainless steel are more prone to corrosion, whereas teak, powder-coated aluminium and 316 stainless steel are all excellent. Consider how exposed your outdoor area is to the wind. Heavier or lower-profile furniture is usually a better choice for open locations, while lighter […]

Why Modern Bathrooms Start With the Right Tile Choice (Not Fixtures)
Ask most people where they start when renovating a bathroom, and the answer is usually the same. They talk about tapware. They obsess over the vanity, too. They spend hours comparing matte-black fittings to brushed-nickel fittings. It's understandable — fixtures are visible, tactile, and easy to shop for. But it's the wrong starting point. When […]

How to Design a Bathroom That Still Looks Good in 10 Years
There’s a particular kind of regret that shows up in bathrooms. It’s usually not about craftsmanship. It’s the colour. The pattern. The fixture that felt exciting the day it was installed, but within a few short years, felt strangely dated. Bathrooms are expensive to renovate and disruptive to redo. So, the real question isn’t “what’s […]

Matte vs Gloss Bathroom Tiles: What Actually Works in Real Homes
Walking into a tile showroom and choosing between matte and gloss is a simple style choice. One seems soft and modern. The other is fine and polished. Either way, you’ll be pleased with your choice. And then the tiles go into a real bathroom, and that's when it gets real. Most mornings, the floor is […]

Large Format Bathroom Tiles: The Secret to Luxury Hotel-Look Spaces
Walk into almost any luxury hotel bathroom, and there’s a feeling that hits before anything else does. The room feels calm. Open. Almost weightless. There is no tiny mosaic grid demanding your attention, and if you can see the grout lines at all, they sit quietly in the background rather than separating the space into […]
