Tile and Porcelain Patios

Outdoor porcelain and tile patios with a clean, modern look, low upkeep and surfaces that stay cooler and resist stains.

Porcelain pavers and outdoor tile have changed what a patio can look like. They come in stone, wood and concrete looks, they resist stains and fading and they stay cool underfoot. Nashville owners who want a clean, modern surface for a covered patio, a pool deck or an outdoor kitchen area often choose porcelain for its look and its easy care.

Your designer helps you choose thickness and finish for outdoor use, since thicker outdoor porcelain pavers handle weather and loads better than thin indoor tile. The crew builds a firm base or slab, then sets the tile on pedestals, a sand bed or an approved mortar system. Joints are planned for drainage and expansion, and edges, steps and transitions are detailed so the surface looks finished and stays safe.

Outdoor rated

Thicker porcelain pavers and outdoor-rated tile resist freeze and thaw, stains and fading, which indoor tile cannot.

Several install methods

Pedestals, sand beds and mortar systems suit different sites, drainage and budgets, and we choose the one that fits.

Traction matters

Textured finishes give grip when wet, and polished looks suit covered, dry areas. We match the finish to the location.

Easy to clean

A non-porous surface wipes clean, resists mildew and needs no sealing, which suits busy outdoor kitchens and dining spots.

Questions

Tile and Porcelain Patios FAQ

Is porcelain strong enough for outdoors?

Outdoor porcelain pavers are made for it, and thinner indoor tile is not. We use products rated for outdoor use.

Does porcelain get hot in the sun?

Lighter colors stay cooler, and porcelain generally stays more comfortable than dark concrete or stone.

Is it slippery when wet?

Textured outdoor finishes provide good traction, and we choose one that suits the area.

Can porcelain go over an existing patio?

Often yes, over a sound, level slab with the right system, and your designer checks the slope and condition first.

How do I clean it?

Sweeping and mild soap and water are usually enough, since the surface does not need sealing.
