Terracotta has a natural home outdoors, bringing a little Mediterranean or Moroccan holiday feeling into a very British garden, and porcelain lets you have that look without any of the sealing real terracotta demands.
Porcelain is the material of choice for outdoor tiling generally, frost proof, dense, and non-porous, holding up to a wet British winter far better than natural stone with a fraction of the upkeep. Our 20mm terracotta pavers can be laid straight onto a bed of sand or gravel without a concrete base, while thinner porcelain tiles need a properly prepared concrete base and exterior-grade adhesive. Whichever you choose, an anti-slip finish is worth prioritising for anywhere underfoot outside. Terracotta also pairs beautifully with timber decking and greenery, both of which lean into its warm, sun-baked character outdoors.
