Transform Your Outdoor Spaces with Premium Tiles from Australia's Trusted Supplier
Your outdoor area is more than just a space—it's an extension of your home. Whether you're hosting weekend barbecues, relaxing with a book, or watching the kids play, the right tiles can elevate these moments. At The Blue Space, we've dedicated years to perfecting external tiles that stand up to Australia's harsh climate while reflecting your unique taste. As a premier tile supplier in Australia, we're here to help you create outdoor spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
Why Outdoor Tiles Are Essential for Australian Homes
Australia's weather is a force to reckon with: scorching sun, torrential rains, and salty coastal air. Standard materials often crack, fade, or wear down, but quality external tiles thrive. Here's why they're a smart choice:
-
Durability: Resistant to UV rays, moisture, and temperature swings.
-
Safety: Slip-resistant surfaces for pool areas and pathways.
-
Design Versatility: From sleek modern styles to rustic textures, tiles adapt to any aesthetic.
Our outdoor tiles collection engineered to withstand Australia's extremes.
Choosing the Right Material: A Detailed Comparison
Porcelain: The Heavy-Duty Option
Porcelain's density makes it ideal for high-traffic zones like pool decks. Its low porosity resists water absorption, preventing cracks in frost-prone areas.
Browse our porcelain collection for styles that mimic natural wood or stone, such as marble-look tiles.
Ceramic: Affordable and Vibrant
Ceramic tiles offer bold colours and patterns at a lower cost. They're perfect for covered patios or outdoor kitchens where moisture exposure is minimal.
For coastal-inspired hues, explore our blue tiles collection.
Natural Stone Alternatives
Love the look of stone but want easier maintenance? Try travertine-look tiles or terrazzo-look tiles.
Designing Safe and Stylish Outdoor Areas
Prioritising Slip Resistance
Wet zones demand tiles with textured surfaces. Consider mosaic tiles for pool surrounds or charcoal tiles with a matte finish.
