Find the best tile for your garden

Terrace tiles

If you are looking for ceramic tiles for outside, you will find a huge amount of different types and colours. Precisely because this category of decorative paving has taken such a flight, the number of suppliers has also grown enormously. But how do you know if the ceramic terrace tiles offered are suitable for your garden, patio, driveway or roof terrace? This short explanation with checklist (with the most important terms) helps you during the orientation phase and with making the right choice for you.

Maintenance-friendly terrace

One of the biggest wishes – we often hear is a low maintenance garden. Logical; you probably don’t want to constantly have to clean your patio tiles. MBI offers different types of concrete tiles with a protective layer, so that dirt and deposits attach less to the pores. However, the most maintenance-free type of paving is a ceramic tile or our ceramic-on-concrete tile GeoCeramica®. Ceramic tiles are baked, which ensures a very dense and hard surface. This ensures that dirt and deposits do not adhere well. In addition, ceramics are easy to clean with warm water or a high-pressure sprayer. When using a high-pressure sprayer, however, keep in mind the joints!

Scratch and stain resistant terrace tiles

Is the garden an intensively used space? Then it is smart to take into account the stain and scratch resistance of the tiles. In this case, the use of ceramic terrace tiles is the best option. The super hard surface makes ceramic very scratch resistant and stain resistant! It is also highly resistant to chlorine, making it perfectly suited for swimming pool and pond applications.

Budget paving

A budget constraint doesn’t have to mean you can’t buy decent quality patio tiles. MBI has a nice collection consisting of no less than 8 series for a smaller budget. BasicSteen is a budget-friendly series of concrete tiles and stones. Your choice is not limited; a lot of attention has been paid to a variety of beautiful colour nuances. And the entire BasicSteen collection has a protective layer with a factor of 25 or 30. Concrete tiles are also relatively easy to install, which will also save on processing costs!

Small sizes

The choice for small sizes can vary. For example, they are perfect for the construction of walkways, but also as a frame for the terrace in combination with large terrace tiles. Within our BasicSteen and GeoSteen® collections we offer small sizes. Even if you are looking for the classic clinker, MBI is the right place. We have a large collection of nostalgic bricks, but also drum cobblestones and cobblestones.

For small sizes, keep in mind that you have many more joints. And grouting means places where weeds can grow. Fortunately, there are also solutions for this by using specific types of paving joint sand. Ask for advice from your horticulturalist.

Simple installation

It is best to leave patio tiles to a professional. Of course there is a difference between the construction of different types of paving. In general, the installation of concrete tiles is faster and easier than the installation of 2cm ceramic tiles. GeoCeramica® is an exception to this. The concrete carrier makes GeoCeramica® as easy to install as a concrete tile. In most cases, no special sub-base construction is required and is suitable for all types of surfaces.

Designs

Last but not least! The number of designs and how they are realised is very important for the appearance of your garden and/or project. If you opt for a concrete look, you can of course go for concrete tiles. But are you looking for a natural stone look or wood look tile? Then it is best to choose one of the 100+ designs from our GeoCeramica® collection. Modern printing methods for ceramics offer a lot of variation in designs and can hardly be distinguished from real natural stone or wood.

Continuity. Choose a reliable terrace tile supplier for consistent good quality and service.

It is wise to choose a reputable brand with eye for service. With such a party you can also expect some continuity in terms of availability. Some types of terrace tiles, such as ceramics, are made in (small) production series. This means that sometimes when laying a part of your terrace, or in the case of damage, the tiles can no longer be ordered in exactly the same colour scheme. In addition, there are now many tile outlets that sell tiles at so-called dump prices. This often means that providers can suddenly disappear again and you are completely denied any further service. If you opt for a recognisable top brand of Dutch manufacture, you always have an easily accessible contact point.
