and the strong temperature swings typical of Swiss winters, staying frost-proof, dimensionally stable and colourfast for years. Whether Mediterranean wood look, elegant stone look or clean concrete look — we offer robust terrace tiles for every style and every level of use. What Makes Good Terrace Tiles Not every tile is suitable for outdoor use. High-quality terrace tiles are made of densely fired porcelain stoneware with water absorption below 0.5% — only this makes them reliably frost-proof and able to withstand Swiss winters with repeated freeze-thaw cycles. A slip-resistant surface rated R11 also provides secure footing in wet conditions, rain or snow, even barefoot or with wet feet by the pool. Thanks to a UV-resistant, colourfast glaze, our terrace slabs don't fade even after years of intense sun exposure. Read more about frost resistance in our frost-proof terrace tiles guide. If you want a seamless look from indoors to outdoors, pair terrace tiles with matching porcelain stoneware for interior spaces. Outdoor Looks: Wood, Stone, Concrete & Natural Stone The look of your terrace slabs shapes the entire outdoor space. We offer four popular finishes: Oak Wood Look Terrace slabs in oak wood look bring the warm character of solid wood to your terrace — with no oiling, brushing or splinters required. The authentic grain looks deceptively real and stays weather-resistant. Stone Look Stone-look tiles imitate slate, sandstone or quartzite, giving terraces and garden paths a natural, timeless character. Concrete Look Concrete look stands for purist, modern design with a subtle texture — ideal for minimalist gardens and urban loggias. Natural Stone Look Natural stone look terrace slabs faithfully recreate travertine, granite or basalt, offering the look of natural stone without the upkeep. Thickness & Installation: 10 mm or 20 mm Terrace Slabs Depending on the base and intended use, we offer terrace tiles in two thicknesses: 10 mm, glued: ideal for existing, level surfaces such as balconies or existing concrete slabs. Installed in a thin-bed mortar, similar to indoor tiling. 20 mm, on pedestals or gravel: the flexible solution for new terraces, gardens and balconies without a fixed substrate. The terrace slabs are laid floating on pedestals, gravel or grass — with no mortar needed, also ideal for later removal. Order a Sample & Get Advice Before you decide, we recommend ordering a sample: this lets you see and feel the colour, texture and surface of your future terrace tiles in person and in natural light. Our team is happy to advise you personally on look, thickness, installation method and quantity — whether it's a small balcony terrace or a spacious garden terrace. To complete your terrace, our outdoor floor tiles are perfect for entrance areas and paths, and for pool surrounds we also recommend our pool mosaic tiles for a cohesive overall look. Frequently Asked Questions About Terrace Tiles Are all terrace tiles frost-proof? No, not every tile is automatically frost-proof. Only densely sintered porcelain stoneware with water absorption below 0.5% is reliably frost-proof and can withstand Swiss winters with frequent freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or spalling. Be sure to check for this specification when buying. What thickness do terrace slabs need? For glued installation on a solid base, 10 mm tiles are sufficient. If the terrace tiles are laid loose on pedestals, gravel or crushed stone, you should choose 20 mm terrace slabs, as they better distribute point loads. What slip rating is needed outdoors? Outdoors we recommend at least slip rating R11, and ideally R11 B or higher for pool areas and barefoot paths. This rating indicates how secure the footing is when wet. Wood-look terrace slabs – what are the benefits? Wood-look terrace slabs combine the look of real wood with the benefits of porcelain stoneware: frost-proof, slip-resistant, splinter-free and free of annual oiling or brushing. This keeps the look beautiful long-term, with far less upkeep than a real wood deck.
