Can porcelain tiles really work outside and in?

[dulwichquine]

Just wondered if anyone has used a porcelain tile for patio area? We are looking at standard thickness tiles which are non slip and supposedly able to be used as an exterior. Bad idea? We are quite keen to use the same style of tile outside and in, with slightly different finish. Grateful for any thoughts or advice.

Absolutely. We've done the same where our we used the same tile style for indoor and outdoor. Only difference is the outdoor ones are textured and offer better grip for safety.

It flows really nicely

Thank you, did you use a special adhesive? And do you find the porcelain tile is retaining its colour?

It's been 2 years and the colours are fine. Not sure what adhesive was used by the tiler.

Yes we used the same Mosa tiles inside and out with great sliding doors. Now we can easily push our dining table outside when we want to eat out as all the same level. Looks great. Used Ardex adhesive & grout. 18 months later and still happy : )
