The best outdoor flooring. Anyone who has an outdoor area in their home, whether it is a terrace, a small balcony, a patio or even a garden, knows that choosing quality materials is of vital importance for its perfect maintenance and enjoyment.
What are the essential qualities for an outdoor floor and how can it help us to improve our quality of life? You can find out from Porcelanite Dos.
Essential properties for the best outdoor flooring
When we are faced with the decision to choose the best outdoor flooring for our home, we not only make it based on the aesthetic criteria of the project, but it is also very important to bear in mind the features that it should bring to the space. And to be considered the best outdoor flooring, it must undoubtedly meet the following 4 keys:
- On the one hand, it must be highly resistant, not only to knocks and breakages, but also to temperature changes, frost and sunlight.
- Another of its characteristics must be its impermeability or minimum water absorption, so that it will remain in good condition for a long time and will not be damaged by rain or possible inclement weather.
- It is also important to choose the best outdoor flooring that is easy to clean and easy to maintain on a daily basis, and that does not require a lot of effort or can be damaged by chemicals.
- And finally, it is very important to choose the best outdoor flooring with slip resistance.
Although there are many materials for exteriors nowadays, porcelain stoneware is undoubtedly the most complete, and therefore the one most chosen by professionals.
The importance of a non-slip floor outdoors
Anti-slip is a fundamental factor in choosing the best outdoor flooring, mainly because it provides safety to the area by preventing unwanted falls or slips. A good surface with a non-slip finish outdoors will also help us to keep our balance not only on rainy days or in wet environments such as swimming pools, but in any everyday situation.
The regulations that declare a floor to be slip-resistant are: in Spain, according to the Technical Building Code, the classification must be class C3; and, according to the German regulatory standard, higher than R9 in domestic environments, and R11 in commercial and public spaces.
The Neogrip finish of Porcelanite Dos stands out for being a high class anti-slip with a soft touch that does not leave the most demanding skins indifferent.
What styles are popular for outdoor flooring?
If we focus on aesthetics, there are currently many trends for outdoor flooring, allowing us to choose the design and style that best suits the overall image of our home, connecting the whole project. Wood, marble, cement, stone... the options are limitless.
