Attention should be paid to durability and resistance to various types of weather conditions, such as low temperatures or humidity, as well as resistance to dirt. Especially when choosingmaterial for the terrace floor , you should choose the type of surface whose technical parameters will be adapted to the conditions outside.
Ceramic tiles for the floor of the terrace or veranda
Terraces, verandas or balconiesare places where the surface is exposed to frequent temperature fluctuations, water and the influence of other weather conditions.One of the most important parameters that should be taken into account is high frost resistance - materials that do not exhibit significant resistance to low minus temperatures cannot be used for flooring outside the house. Frost resistance is a guarantee that the tiles will not crumble and crack during the winter season. A proposal characterized by a high degree of frost resistance areceramic tiles for the terrace
Floor ceramics are valued especially for their resistance to the influence of various external factors - says Piotr Komarowski from Röben Ceramika Budowlana - Clinker terrace tiles are highly frost-resistant, do not absorb water and do not lose their color vividness for many years.
The durability and aesthetics ofterrace floordepends not only on the properties of the material itself, but also on its professional arrangement. First of all, attention should be paid to leveling out surface irregularities.For this reason, terraced ceramic tiles should be laid on a gravel base or on special pads acting on the principle of a movable bearing. The even surface allows water to drain away, so that even after heavy rain, no puddles form on the surface of the terrace or veranda.
Terraces in many colors
In the case of ground terraces, or otherwise - laid directly on the ground, located at the level of the ground floor, clinker paving bricks can be used, the pattern and color of which will match the garden paths. Although clinker paving bricks are most often associated with the red color, the offer of building ceramics manufacturers also includes a whole range of products with non-standard colors, allowing for the creation of original designs. Paving bricks in black, gray, brown, cream and even shades of blue are proposals that are gaining more and more fans of original arrangement solutions.
In addition to aesthetic values, clinker paving bricks have a number of properties that guarantee the durability of the surface. First of all, they are completely resistant to moisture. A special method of burning clinker prevents it from soaking up water, which is directly related to frost resistance. This condition ensures that during the winter period the freezing water will not damage the floor on the terrace
Early spring is the perfect time forrenovation of a terrace, porch or balconyWhen planning the renovation of damaged balcony or terrace tiles, it is worth choosing a material whose durability will not be limited to one season. During the winter, these surfaces could have been damaged by low temperatures and water freezing in the crevices. A terrace or balcony floor made of inappropriate construction materials may crack, which significantly reduces its aesthetic value. Resistance to loads and weather conditions as well as frost-resistant properties are the basic advantages promoting floor ceramics and clinker paving bricks asmaterial ideal for terraces and verandas , aesthetically pleasing at any time of the year.
