Concrete slabs for the terrace must be durable

A terrace is a space around the house that is particularly exposed to many negative external factors. Terrace tiles must be resistant to extreme weather phenomena and permanently serve in this space.

No other material, such as wood or stone, guarantees such a durable terrace finish. So when looking for a solution that you can enjoy for many years (without the need for frequent repairs and maintenance), it is worth opting for concrete terrace tiles, which show the highest durability for many seasons.

Concrete terrace slabs should be protected against moisture absorption

Although terrace slabs made of noble concrete are characterized by extraordinary solidity, in order to enjoy their reliability for years, it is worth properly preparing and protecting their surface. If you want to protect the terrace tiles from moisture – you can additionally impregnate them.

Such a solution will effectively protect the tile surface against weather conditions and minimize the risk of cracks or damage to the surface. Protecting concrete slabs against moisture contributes to maintaining their color and texture for longer, which affects the aesthetics of the entire terrace.

After impregnation, their surface becomes more resistant to damage and even easier to clean, which makes the terrace retain its qualities for many years. Therefore, if we want to cover the terrace even more permanently, it is worth impregnating the surface of the concrete slabs.

How important is the anti-slip layer in terrace tiles?

Terrace tiles made of noble concrete, in addition to their extraordinary resistance to mechanical damage, abrasion or adverse weather conditions, also have extraordinary anti-slip properties, which affects the safety of their use.

It often happens that the terrace is not properly roofed and water easily gets on its surface (along with rain or snow). Therefore, if you want to make it a safe space to use, regardless of the prevailing weather conditions, it is worth choosing noble concrete slabs, whose rough surface makes it not as easy to slip on them as on other types of tiles.

If you want to take even more care of the anti-slip properties of the terrace surface – you can additionally equip the tiles with special inserts, which will further increase the safety in moving around this space.
