1. Key Characteristics of Outdoor Paving Tiles

1.1. Anti-slip outdoor tiles

Unlike indoor floor tiles, outdoor paving tiles are usually designed with a characteristically rough, textured surface, ensuring absolute slip resistance when exposed to rainwater, mud, etc. — helping protect homeowners from slips and falls while moving around.

1.2. Waterproof outdoor paving tiles

In addition to an anti-slip surface, outdoor tiles also require high hardness, excellent water resistance, and long-lasting durability. Therefore, outdoor tile collections are manufactured with special standards in thickness and tile body to withstand external impacts such as weather, climate, and heavy foot traffic.

The tile body for outdoor paving is densely compacted and fired at 1200°C, ensuring that water can hardly penetrate through (water absorption <1%), extending tile lifespan and providing maximum waterproofing for rooftop terraces.

For villas or homes with large courtyards often used for parking cars or regularly subjected to heavy loads, outdoor tiles must have high load-bearing capacity. Porcelain Hi-Thick tiles, featuring outstanding thickness and a solid stone-powder body, are highly recommended to ensure safety and avoid future maintenance or replacement costs.
