Indoor vs. Outdoor Tiles: A Comprehensive Guide

Choosing the right tiles for your home is a big decision! Whether you're updating your indoor flooring or creating a new look for your outdoor areas, it's important to understand the key differences between indoor and outdoor tiles.   

Key Differences

• Surface Finish: Indoor tiles typically have a smoother finish for easier cleaning, while outdoor tiles often feature a textured surface for better grip.   

• Durability: Outdoor tiles must withstand harsher weather conditions, so they are generally thicker and more durable than indoor tiles.   

• Texture: Outdoor tiles often have a textured surface for slip resistance, while indoor tiles offer a wider variety of materials, styles, and finishes.   

• Maintenance: Outdoor tiles are designed for low maintenance, while indoor tiles may require more frequent cleaning.   

• Glaze: Indoor tiles can be glazed or unglazed, while outdoor tiles are typically unglazed for durability.
