Planning Your Layout & Design
-
Choose your size: Use the 6″ × 36″ planks for tighter spaces or staggered patterns; the 8″ × 48″ format gives a more expansive plank feeling with fewer joints.
-
Colour selection: Mix medium wood tones (honey oak, teak) for a cozy terrace; go darker (walnut, mahogany) for dramatic effect; lighter tones for sun-filled spaces to avoid heat-absorption.
-
Grout strategy: Choose complementary grout that blends with plank colour for seamless look, or contrast lightly for plank-style emphasis.
-
Installation orientation: Align plank direction with the longest dimension of the terrace or west-east orientation to enhance flow and visual length.
Material & Finish Details
-
Porcelain: Dense, low-porosity, highly durable – excellent for outdoor installations under varying weather conditions.
-
Vitrified: Manufactured with high-temperature pressing; low absorbency and high strength make it suitable for both indoors and outdoors
-
Finish: Matt surface reduces slip and glare—important for terrace flooring, especially in wet or shaded regions.
Installation & Outdoor Care
- Ensure your terrace substrate has appropriate slope (minimum around 1:100) for drainage to avoid water-puddling under tiles.
- Use exterior-grade adhesive and suitable outdoor tile grout; ensure joints are sealed properly to prevent moisture ingress beneath planks.
- Use non-staining, weather-resistant grout—epoxy or modified grouts work best for exposed areas.
- For routine care: Sweep or blow off debris, rinse with water occasionally, use pH-neutral mild cleaner for deeper cleaning. Avoid harsh acids or high-pressure jets that may damage grout or surface.
