Outdoor Tiles
The outside of your home is a space where you can make it whatever you want—whether that be a Zen retreat, a fun party space for entertaining, a kid-friendly playground, or a lush garden filled with plant life and color. Whatever you envision your outdoor space to be, it all starts with the right foundation. As a practical-minded yet fun-loving homeowner, you want something that will stand up to Mother Nature and still look beautiful. Cement outdoor tiles are one of the most versatile products on the market that can help you set the tone for your blank canvas, or enhance the outdoor space you already love. (Note: They are not recommended for areas that freeze in wintertime. Repeated freezing and thawing could cause cracking.)
Cement Tiles for Any Outdoor Space
Cement outdoor tiles are strong, durable products that are designed to hold up to chips, scratches, moisture, dirt, and foot traffic to provide homeowners with a guilt-free investment that also provides spot-on style. There are no compromises with outdoor concrete tiles because they come in a nearly endless variety of colors, patterns, styles, and layout options for custom results anywhere in your outdoor space. Transform a cozy backyard into a sanctuary, or a large, expansive yard into your own sophisticated resort.
The Benefits of Cement Outdoor Tiles
Now, you maybe wondering, “why wouldn’t I just choose plain cement for my backyard space or patio?” Cement is a common material used outdoors because it is so durable and able to withstand the elements. But cement tiles take it up ten notches in terms of style and design possibilities. If you don’t want just any ordinary outdoor space, then cement outdoor tiles are the best way to go. The other benefit about using cement outdoor floor tile over typical poured cement is that if any of the tiles do show any damage or wear over time, you can simply replace a tile and not the entire cement structure. Just be sure not to install them where they can potentially freeze and thaw, as stated above.
Endless Opportunities for Cement Outdoor Tiles
As you begin imagining all of the ways you can use cement outdoor floor tiles in your outdoor space, we encourage you to think beyond the normal constraints of tile application. We know you are an imaginative homeowner who does plenty of their own research, but we wanted to help you out and excite you even more about the many ways you can use cement outdoor floor tiles and wall tiles by providing some suggestions:
- Flanking an entrance on an outdoor wall
- On the side of a building
- Decorating outdoor steps
- On a patio floor
- Lining the floor and walls of a walled terrace
- Framing an outdoor fireplace
- Making a splash around a pool or hot tub
- In an outdoor kitchen, on the walls, floor, and prep areas
- Hiding a retaining wall or fence
- The floor of a balcony
- The face of an outdoor bar
- To separate outdoor living spaces, such as a fire pit, meditation garden, and outdoor dining
- To make your outdoor space one-of-a-kind
Outdoor patio tiles are one of the most common ways to use cement tiles outside. Especially if they’re shielded from the harsh elements and don’t sit out in the steamy sun or rain all day, they will last a very long time while maintaining their original luster.
Some homeowners like to take inspiration from nature and go with cement outdoor floor tile for patio in earthy shades and intricate patterns that mimic the organic life outside. Others, on the other hand, like to juxtapose bold modern tiles with the scenery of their outdoor space to create interesting contrast. It’s totally up to you!
Taking Care of Cement Outdoor Tiles
During the installation process, outdoor floor tiles must be sealed properly to ensure they can resist stains and fading. A sealant will help prevent dust, dirt, grime, and moisture from permeating the tile and staining the design. You may also want to have your tiles re-sealed once the installation, cleaning and drying processes have taken place. Ask your contractor about using a penetrating sealer with UV protection to keep direct sunlight from fading your tiles.
When you are able to, you can keep your outdoor tiles clean by regular sweeping and washing them with a non-acidic natural cleaning solution. You can review our in-depth cement tile maintenance page for more info.

If we’ve successfully inspired you and you’re ready to make outdoor cement tile a part of your outdoor space, then the first step is deciding the style and feel you would like to evoke..
