Benefits of 20mm outdoor porcelain tiles

First things first, the elephant in the room here is the Irish weather. You cannot overlook that our wonderful climate has plenty of rain. A wet patio usually means a slippy and therefore dangerous surface for kids to play, and adults to traipse across and generally not conducive to anything apart from admiring how much rain falls here.

20mm outdoor porcelain tiles are a man-made product created specifically for patios in climes such as ours. The anti-slip properties are incredible and allow security under foot during and after the heaviest of downpours. This reclaims your garden space that was previously lost to a slippery surface. Now after a quick rain shower your garden paving with 20mm can be the football pitch, basketball court or YouTube assisted 15 minute workout zone.

Next up on reclaiming your garden for your purposes is outdoor porcelains scratch and stain resistance. These properties go hand in hand. Are kids cleaning their boots after Saturday morning GAA matches? Big Kids cleaning their Big Bikes? Big Adults creating the latest masterpiece of flat pack furniture or DIY creation with hammers, screwdrivers and tension? All of these regular activities can be completed on a porcelain surface without the fear of seriously staining, damaging or scratching your wonderfully paved patio that you invested in.

Also before proceeding any further – 20mm Porcelain is incredibly low maintenance that requires zero sealing and is very easy to clean. Which means more time enjoying your space than actually cleaning and maintaining it. 

BBQ time, when the sun shows its welcomed face on our gardens we like to take advantage of this limited yet cherished past time of grilling al fresco. This is where garden patios come into their own. Due to the aforementioned easy clean and stain resistance – meat juice drippings, dropped kebabs, sausage from fork escapes and burger sauce mishaps can all be easily cleaned from a porcelain patio. Red wine, beer and cocktail accidental spillages are also no threat to your porcelain paving. More chilling and grilling time, less worrying about the kids running while eating time.
