The kitchen is a surprisingly versatile space in the modern home. There was a time when the kitchen was used for food preparation and little else. It wasn’t glamorous, and was really more a case of needs must when it came to kitchen design!

But in today’s world of open-plan living, the kitchen has taken on new life as a central location in the home.

When it comes to choosing the kind of tiles you use in your home, this can be a real head scratcher. It all depends on the style you want to adopt and the space you have available.

But in terms of using tiles outdoors, you need to be a little more selective in terms of the materials used.

We hear questions about porcelain tiles and sandstone tiles and how suitable they are for certain uses.

In this blog, we take a look at using these tiles outdoors and how suitable they are, and what you need to be mindful of.

Creating a stunning outdoor space in your home is something many people dream of. They’re perfect for those beautiful sunny days and lingering summer evenings.
