Outdoor Tiles

Explore our range of outdoor tiles

TileCloud outdoor tiles are made to handle Australian weather. Our outdoor tiles handle everything outdoors, from patios and front porch tiles to balconies and garden paths, the right pick will depend on where you're putting them and how you use the space.

Patios and alfresco areas get the heaviest daily use, so you want a tile that handles foot traffic, spilled drinks and the odd dropped plate without chipping or staining.

Poolside tiles need to stay cool underfoot and grippy when wet. A tile with a textured finish and a solid slip rating matters more here than almost anywhere else in the house.

Balconies and rooftops are exposed to full sun and weather with no eaves to shelter them, so fade resistance and UV stability count for more than they would on a sheltered ground-floor patio.

Garden paths and porches take grit, dirt and constant foot traffic, so durability and easy cleaning matter more than a delicate finish.

What's trending right now

A few things are showing up again and again in outdoor renovations at the moment:

Matte and honed finishes instead of anything glossy. They cut glare around pools and still grip well underfoot.

Indoor-outdoor flow. Homeowners are matching their outdoor tile to an indoor floor tile so the two spaces read as one, particularly where a kitchen or living area opens onto a patio.

Travertine look tiles, limestone tiles and terrazzo looks. Natural stone patterns remain popular for outdoor spaces because they read as earthy rather than stark, without the sealing and porosity issues of the real thing.

Large-format porcelain. Bigger tiles mean fewer grout lines, which means less for algae and grime to grab onto outdoors.

Trends shift, but the underlying logic doesn't: whatever finish you pick, it still needs to perform outdoors first and look good second. A tile that nails both is worth chasing over one that's just on-trend.

Shop outdoor tiles at TileCloud

Whether your outdoor style leans Hamptons, Coastal or something more contemporary, TileCloud stocks both outdoor floor tiles and outdoor wall tiles, plus 20mm pavers for areas you're laying over sand or gravel rather than a solid base.

Our porcelain tiles are the most popular pick for patios, balconies and pool surrounds. Porcelain has very low water absorption, so it resists cracking from moisture getting in and freezing or expanding, and it holds its colour instead of fading out in the sun. Most of our outdoor floor tiles carry a slip rating of P3 or higher, the benchmark for safe use in wet, high-traffic areas.

For walls, we stock ceramic tiles and porcelain options in the same finishes as our floor range, so you can run a matching look up an outdoor feature wall or around an alfresco kitchen.

Looks-wise, you'll find terrazzo, travertine and concrete-look finishes across colours from soft white through to charcoal, plus checkerboard and French pattern layouts if you want something with more visual interest. Not sure whether tiles or pavers suit your project better? Our pavers vs tiles guide breaks down the difference.

If you're renovating an outdoor kitchen or adding an outdoor shower alongside your new tiles, it's worth looking at Yabby tapware at the same time. Buy tiles and tapware together and you get 10% off the tapware, and matching finishes across the two makes the whole space look pulled together rather than assembled in stages.
