5 TYPES OF NON-SLIP OUTDOOR TILES FOR GARDENS AND TERRACES
Outdoor spaces are the great stars of the summer season. As open-air areas, the choice of construction materials is crucial since outdoor tiles are constantly subjected to external aggression, inclement weather and, when it comes to pools, constant contact with chlorine.
Gres Aragón has positioned itself as the reference outdoor tile brand by offering the perfect combination of beautiful esthetic finishes like marble, stone and wood with the ultra-resistance and durability of its porcelain and clinker collections.
The importance using non-slip outdoor tiles
Outdoor tiles require certain specific technical features in order to provide optimal performance and durability.
The Gres Aragón outdoor porcelain and clinker tile collections offer features like resistance to bending, surface abrasion, sudden changes in temperature, splitting and expansion due to moisture, which is particularly important in rainy seasons and in pool areas.
Safety is another extremely important aspect when choosing outdoor tiles. And this is where the C3 – R11/R12 non-slip finishes in Gres Aragón collections will make the difference.
These finishes guarantee user safety against slipping and falling on wet floors, whether in public or private settings in a pool or on a terrace or patio.
On the other hand, one of the most outstanding characteristics besides the importance of choosing non-slip finishes for outdoor tiles is the low porosity of porcelain and clinker.
They give these outdoor tiles immense resistance to stains which is essential when it comes to preventing the proliferation of fungi and mold and creating a safer anti-bacterial surface.
Different finishes for different garden and terrace styles
Beyond the fundamental technical features any outdoor tiling must have, there’s the whole esthetic issue.
All the technological progress and constant innovation and trend research done by Gres Aragón allows us to offer collections that meet both technical and esthetic requirements.
