Enjoying coffee out on your porch and realize it’s time for a new home reno project? Starting with the porch floor will make the rest of the design choices a breeze. A porch is an outdoor extension of your home, and it deserves just as much detail and love as the inside. Tiles are a popular flooring choice for outdoor areas and offer a wide variety of styles.
There are various aspects to keep in mind before buying material on sight. Budget, of course, being the first, how big of a space are you looking to fill? Will the tiles be exposed to the elements, or are they near a water source? Plus, what kind of grip is going to give the best walking surface.
