Rectified tiles deliver cleaner grout lines and create a contemporary finish for outdoor spaces.

Allow for Drainage

Consider the Location

Different outdoor areas have different requirements. Select tiles based on how the space will be used.

Buy Enough Tiles

Buy Enough Tiles

Order an additional 10% of tiles to allow for cutting, future repairs, and matching replacements. For diagonal layouts, intricate patterns, or herringbone designs, we recommend allowing approximately 15% extra to account for additional cuts and wastage.
