Bedrosians tiles are so beautiful and high quality that it makes sense to put them everywhere in your home. But, are they the right choice for your outdoor patio? In many cases, the answer is yes! Beyond Flooring carries many Bedrosians tiles that are perfect for use in exterior spaces. The key is to know which type of tile will work best for your outdoor patio space based on what you need and how you want it to work. Here are some of the things you should look for when choosing flooring for your patio.
Choose Exterior Rated Tiles
The first thing to look at is whether the tiles are specifically engineered for outdoor use. This is key because you don’t want to put indoor tiles in an outdoor setting due to safety concerns. Exterior rated tiles have anti-slip protection to help you stay on your feet no matter the weather. An excellent choice for your home might be Bedrosians Sinai Anti-Slip Porcelain tiles. These durable tiles look like natural stone and are superior in places like outdoor walkways and patios. These are just one of the many Bedrosians tiles we carry at Beyond Flooring that’s suitable for outdoor patio use.
Prioritize Porcelain Tiles
It’s well-known that porcelain tiles are great for indoor and outdoor use. However, where they really shine is in their low water absorption. Porcelain is an extremely dense material, which means very little water can penetrate porcelain tile. Of course, the Southern California area doesn’t see significant rainfall, but your outdoor patio may still get wet if it’s near a pool or other water fixture. Plus, it’s best to have safe tiles if you plan on entertaining and hosting guests on your outdoor patio.
Coordinate Your Patio With Your Home
One of the best reasons to choose Bedrosians outdoor patio tiles is that you can match them with your home to create a seamless look both indoors and outdoors. Whether your home style is Mediterranean, mid-century modern, or coastal, you can find Bedrosians tiles to pull all areas of your home together. One thing to consider is going with a lighter color for your outdoor patio flooring. This is because your outdoor patios will likely receive direct, intense sunlight most of the year, and lighter surfaces tend to handle this better than darker colored surfaces.
