Key Features to Look for in Porch Tiles

Indoor and outdoor tiles differ by a few characteristics based on their needs and requirements. Hence, there are certain features that must be considered while buying tiles for the porch area. MyTyles suggests the following seven factors as key features for purchasing the best porch tiles:

• Weather resistance: Weather resistance is the foremost feature for both porch floors and wall tiles to prevent damage due to harsh weather. Choose the best porch tiles with a low water absorption rate of 0.5% or less, which can prevent cracks and fades.
• Thermal conductivity: Tiles with excellent thermal conductivity easily transfer heat to the environment, preventing the tiles from absorbing excessive heat. It helps minimise thermal stress on the porch tiles by providing a comfortable walking surface.
• High durability: Tiles in porch areas are designed to endure heavy weights and should last longer. Porch tiles are specially designed with increased durability with high foot traffic and vehicle traffic to withstand all the outdoor activities.
• Slip resistance: Porches have more opportunities to result in slips due to weather conditions, debris, and wet areas. Non-slip outdoor tiles for porches help increase friction between the foot and surface, offering more grip to prevent slips.
• Scratch resistance: The continuous movement in outdoor areas, like vehicles, pets, moving furniture, and foot traffic, leads to multiple scratches on the tiles. Hence, scratch resistance is critical for porch tiles, especially floors more than walls.
• Visual appeal: The porch is one of the first impressions created on the visitors. So, it should be as appealing as the interior design. The impressive and striking porch tiles create a dashing outlook that imparts your personality to your space effortlessly.
• Low maintenance: Tiles for the porch area require less upkeep and are easy to clean. Due to their low maintenance, homeowners and businesses can enjoy high-functioning porches with less effort, seamlessly.
