Today we would like to talk about these exteriors

Over the last few months, the nation and the world has spent a huge amount of time at home, and thanks to the weather here in the UK, in their gardens. Everyone has become ever more familiar with the home in which they reside, spending not only leisure hours but working hours, alongside their loved ones in the family home. For good or bad, this has intensified many aspects of our individual home and garden spaces. Many have taken to home improvement, DIY, and enforced clear-outs. In a time of uncertainty, our homes became a solid form of reassurance, protection, and sanctuary.

Summer holidays have turned into staycations, house holidays
with summer BBQs in the garden, our homes have become the focus of our lives
and imaginations.

Reinvent your outdoor area by expanding a space where family and friends can gather together to sit around a table or relax on the patio. Make use of each area in your back and front garden.

Minimal maintenance and long-lasting nature

Maintaining porcelain requires minimal attention. Porcelain
is nonporous, does not require treating and continuous upkeep, and would not
deform or change the body colour over time. Resistant to mould, moss pesticide
and chemicals, Minoli porcelain can be used in various settings due to its
quality and reliability.

Transition between inside and out

Visual continuity can be achieved throughout a range of
porcelain collections, which can expand the sense of space, offer style
continuity, and create coordinating living areas that can almost seamlessly
join the outside to the in. Seamless indoor-outdoor transition can be achieved
with the 9mm indoor tile that is internally slip resistant and easy to clean
coordinated with external version that has higher slip rating surface, such as
R10 or R11.

Profile thickness and installation

Many of Minoli porcelain tile ranges are available in 9mm and then with a coordinating 20mm thickness. Anti-slip 9mm porcelain tile allows installation on well levelled concrete. External 20mm outdoor paving slabs can be laid directly on gravel or grass, this type of solution will fit a project where permanent floor fitting cannot be achieved. Traditional adhesive installation of  the 20mm tile offers high resistance to loads, making it suitable for heavy foot-traffic areas, outdoor driveways, and car standing. Installation with an external pedestal systems allows ease of access to utilities by simply lifting the tile slabs.

Due to high durability, high resistance to wear, alongside
its low water absorption, frost, temperature, and chemical resistance, as well

patios, gardens, terraces, balconies, walkways, swimming pools and driveways
for both residential and commercial settings.
