Boasting deceptive durability and unprecedented diversity of design, the power of porcelain tiles can make for a fantastic home flooring solution.

Best of all, this porcelain performance also translates to fantastic flexibility, particularly in terms of how and where you use these tiles.

Porcelain tiles are a superb solution to flooring functionality – both inside and out – and the combination of the two as an inside-outside transition can make for a stunning seamless finish.

Benefits of Inside Outside Transition Tiles

The list of benefits of porcelain paving outdoors is long and wide, ranging from its ability to withstand frost and moisture to its unrivalled fade and stain resistance.

However, while porcelain has a myriad of obvious benefits for outside use, it’s also the ideal surface for the inside as well.

Slip, stain and chip-resistant, porcelain tiles make for the perfect flooring solution for any kitchen, providing a great safety net in the event of a cooking mishap like a dropped plate or a clumsy spill.

Better still, this functional freedom also presents the perfect opportunity to blur the lines between interior design and your external property, blending the two into one expansive, free-flowing space.

Things to Consider for Inside Outside Floor Tiles

When creating an indoor-outdoor transition, it’s important to remember that there is a difference between indoor tiles and outdoor pavers. Inside tiles are typically thinner, measuring in at around 10mm, whereas outdoor pavers often measure at a thicker 20mm.

The reason for this is, of course, the practical needs of each. Naturally, an outdoor paver is going to need to be thicker in order to withstand the harsher elemental demands of the environment, whereas indoor tiles are specifically designed for an interior setting, featuring a smoother texture underfoot.

While most styles are available in both ranges, not all outdoor designs are available as an indoor tile and vice versa. As such, you’ll need to opt for a design that is available in both 10mm and 20mm format in order to create an uninterrupted indoor outdoor transition.

To avoid any disappointing revelations down the line, be sure to check your favourite designs are indeed available in both versions before you let your creative imagination run away with you.

Choosing Inside Outside Porcelain Floor Tiles

One of the biggest benefits of combining inside outside transition tiles is their innate ability to create space. The seamless nature of the transition opens up the boundaries of your interior, essentially allowing it to flow into your outside space.

That being said, a light-coloured tile can expand your space even further, creating the illusion that your property seems bigger than it actually is. Add a foldable patio door into the mix and you have the ability to bring your outdoors in and indoors out in an instance.

However, it may also be worth keeping in mind how you intend to utilise your outdoor space when choosing your transition tiles, particularly if you plan on having a pool or a hot tub. The level of traction of each tile can vary between designs, so it’s worth getting a paver with high grip rating if you plan on indulging in watery activities.

Balcony Tiles & Paving >

The fine Italian porcelain we use for our balcony tiles outperforms all its rivals in every single way. Our tiles require no regular maintenance, so this means no time and labour is needed to keep your floor intact! The slabs we use also resist water, frost, fades, fire and slippages too; not to mention the fact they are strong and durable enough to be used for commercial use. What we are basically proposing to you is a material which looks as luxurious and appealing as natural stone, but comes with none of the drawbacks!

As our porcelain is such a fine performing outdoor material, it makes the perfect choice for those looking to revamp their balconies and roof terraces. Using pedestal supports, our balcony tiles can be dry installed – the beauty of this is you can create a level surface while also benefiting from acoustic and thermal insulation! Not only that, but this method of installation also allows for pipes, leads, and cables to be laid between the void.

You could even lay the tiles yourself, no adhesives or mortars are needed making it a relatively easy task for keen DIY enthusiasts. As nothing is sticking the tiles down they can also be removed easily – this is ideal should you need to lay wires, or remove them altogether.

One of the best things we think our tiles can offer your balcony is a complete makeover! If you have an outdoor space already that is a bit worn, weathered, and warped, realise its full potential through our sumptuous porcelain slabs. Made to look like some of the most exotic natural stone available – as well as also creating some new shades and finishes of our own – our tiles will transform your balcony into a pristine space that yearns to be used!

PrimaPorcelain's Bolzano Grey tiling was featured on tonight's episode of ITV Love Your Garden with Alan Titchmarsh. 

Our Bolzano Grey product was used to redesign the garden of Richard Price, a true hero and inspiring figure to his local community. Richard has been an active volunteer with Samaritans' Chester Branch for over forty years. Working as a branch director, training leader, listening volunteer and prison support officer, he has truly left a mark in the area. To this day Richard continues to train the volunteers of tomorrow, and he has been awarded a British Empire medal for his services to both Samaritans and the people of Chester. He and his wife Anne have been foster parents in the past, and Richard, a dog lover, has worked as a trainer for Guide Dogs for the Blind. ITV were honoured to help such a selfless and kind figure as Richard, and we are incredibly proud that in doing so our Bolzano Grey porcelain tiles were chosen for the task. 

Richard lives with his wife Anne, having met thirty-five years ago volunteering for the Samaritans. The couple have been together some thirty-four years, and as regular hosts for their young granddaughter Jessica, needed a garden which is safe and childproof. Likewise, the home also belongs to Gus, a retired guide dog, meaning the garden redesign needed to be dog-friendly too! The couple are also incredibly nature loving, spending hours on late night country walks together as a way to relax. As a calming influence in their busy lives, Richard and Anne were incredibly keen for their own patch of land to adopt the therapeutic qualities of the outside world, something we are confident our tiles can help with. 

The back garden is around a hundred feet long with a paved area, a small patch with chippings, followed by some lawn and a concrete area. Our Bolzano Grey porcelain tiles were the perfect choice for Richard and Anne's garden, due to their unique durability and stylish design. Our tiles are resistant to water, scratches and fading, meaning they can be installed in almost any environment with great success. Be it babies or dogs, our tiles are incredibly easy to clean and maintain, so Richard would be able to enjoy a fantastic garden without the need for copious time for upkeep work. Likewise, the slick Bolzano Grey colour of our tiles is well suited to almost any garden, giving an edge of classiness, calm and elegance. Our tiles helped to transform Richard's garden into a relaxing atmosphere he and Anne can enjoy for years to come. 

We are especially honoured that our product was featured on Love Your Garden, and even happier that it is going towards helping such a worthy and inspirational individual. We wish Richard and Anne all the best for the future, and hope they will love both their new garden and our Bolzano Grey tiles, for a long time to come!

Visitors to our site never struggle to stumble upon all sorts of reasons why Out 2.0 is the ultimate outdoor paving slab, but what about our In.Out porcelain floor tiles? Can we offer any proof that they're the best choice for indoor tiling?

Well, as it happens, we can. While the In.Out porcelain tile isn't as thick as a slab of Out 2.0 paving, it's still thicker and sturdier than a lot of the cheap porcelain floor tiles you'll find elsewhere. Not only does this ensure superior durability, it also means that the tiles can cope with life outside of the home. In case you were wondering how In.Out tiles got their name, it's because they're suitable for both indoor and outdoor use; this means that you can create a seamless transition between one space and the other using the same porcelain style.

Of course, there are plenty of other factors. The In.Out porcelain floor tile is practically maintenance-free, which is more than can be said for certain types of stone flooring. And then there's the question of appearance; no matter which of our porcelain designs you're looking at, it's hard to deny that an In.Out porcelain tile is considerably more attractive than any alternative.

Take a look at our paving gallery to see what these fabulous floor tiles look like in a variety of environments.

It goes without saying that porcelain paving is great for the garden, but bear in mind that our In.Out Porcelain Tiles can be used indoors as well! Tile flooring never fails to have a delightful effect on interiors, and it's a stylish alternative to more common flooring products like laminate and carpet.

But where in the home do our porcelain flooring tiles have the biggest impact? Here are a few tips:

• If your living room feels slightly stuffy at present, porcelain tiles are perfect for cooling it down. We'd recommend the Bluestone Vintage tiles for a living room; they're the ultimate blend of traditional and modern styles.
• Porcelain flooring tiles look right at home in the kitchen, and they're less vulnerable to spilled food and splashed water than carpets and wood are! We've found that our Driftwood porcelain is particularly well-suited to a kitchen environment, perhaps because of the earthy undertones that lie beneath its contemporary sheen.
• The bathroom is another space that's ripe with porcelain possibility. The Limestone Vanilla flooring tiles are a great choice for the bathroom, giving you a calm, creamy colour that will make everything feel that little bit lighter.

Of course, these aren't the only rooms that will benefit from the addition of porcelain flooring. The tiles are equally capable of brightening your bedroom, classing up your conservatory, or bringing harmony to your hallway!
