While outdoor landscaping is a great addition to a residential area, it can also do wonders for a commercial property. When done right, outdoor landscaping can elevate both the customer and employee experience, all while making the company appear more distinguished compared to its neighbors. It is no wonder that establishments incorporate landscape architecture into their front area, spare outdoor space, or even rooftops. 

Like residential landscaping, commercial landscaping should be done with the best and most optimal materials. While there are several flooring materials to choose from, Porcea Stone outdoor porcelain tiles are among the most durable and visually appealing materials for commercial use. Aside from offering great durability, our materials enable a corporate space to exude the professionalism that it must emanate. 

Why Use Outdoor Porcelain Tiles for Commercial Landscaping Projects 

But what exactly makes outdoor porcelain tiles stand out from other landscaping materials? Why are they the best materials to incorporate into commercial landscaping projects? Here are some of the advantages that come with using these premium materials for commercial landscapes. 

• They can tolerate the heavy foot traffic. 
• They have anti-slip capabilities.. 
• Their color hardly fades. 
• They hardly absorb water. 
• They require less maintenance. 
• They come in a wide variety.
• They add value to the commercial space. 

Outdoor Porcelain Tiles Can Tolerate Heavy Foot Traffic 

Because of the superior durability of outdoor porcelain tiles, they can withstand heavy foot traffic. They are less vulnerable to cracking and more resistant to wear and tear, making them able to endure the rough conditions that accompany outdoor life. 

Their capacity to endure heavy foot traffic is a make-or-break factor when it comes to commercial landscapes. In comparison to residential areas, commercial properties welcome considerably higher and heavier foot traffic. 

On top of that, these materials are designed to last a long time. This means that it may take an extremely long time before the tiling needs to be replaced. In a business context, this makes such materials a cost-efficient option in the long run. 

Outdoor Porcelain Tiles Have Anti-Slip Capabilities

Porcea Stone outdoor porcelain tiles, specifically, are designed with superior anti-slip capabilities due to their granularity and traction. While each tile may offer safety to certain degrees, there are some that have higher traction compared to others. Porcea Gris, for instance, offers higher traction compared to other tiles. 

This ensures the safety of the many people who step over and pass through a tiled outdoor area, which is extremely important when it comes to commercial landscapes. 

Outdoor Porcelain Tiles Hardly Absorb Water

Because of their extremely low water absorption rates, outdoor porcelain tiles are basically water-indestructible. Due to this remarkably low water absorption, these tiles do not get damaged by water, even after prolonged exposure. 

The rate of water absorption is directly related to how suitable a material is for a certain application, especially in exterior settings. This criterion also determines whether tiles are vulnerable to breaking or cracking due to frost. 

With regards to such a criterion, outdoor porcelain tiles do not fall short. In fact, tiles such as Porcea Aura White or Porcea Black Opal can be installed to commercial outdoor areas where water additions, such as ponds or fountains, are installed. 

Outdoor Porcelain Tiles Require Minimal Maintenance

Unlike other flooring materials, outdoor porcelain tiles require minimal maintenance. Because these tiles are resistant to stain, simply wiping the tiles or washing off dirt with water would be sufficient to clean them.

This makes them ideal choices for commercial landscapes. Requiring minimal maintenance would mean that sanitation staff can focus on other things instead of keeping the tiles clean and maintained all the time. 

Moreover, while other tiles may require sealing, this is not the case for outdoor porcelain tiles. Thus, with virtually no maintenance, outdoor porcelain tiles, such as Porcea Thundercloud, would still look as good as new. 

Keep in mind that lighter coloured tiles may require some more cleaning including acids or solvents, however most of the stains and marks are on the surface only and not permeating into the tile itself. This has to do with the low porosity of Porcea Stone.

Outdoor Porcelain Tile Colors Do Not Fade 

Aside from offering premium durability, the aesthetics of outdoor porcelain tiles can also be preserved. Unlike vinyl tiles that easily fade due to UV exposure, outdoor porcelain tiles remain vibrant despite being consistently exposed to such conditions. 

This is especially important for commercial landscaping, where aesthetics are not just a matter of personal preference but also of business face value. 

Outdoor Porcelain Tiles Come in a Wide Variety 

The diversity of outdoor porcelain tiles enables great flexibility for commercial landscape designs. Porcea Crema Antico, for one, has a pastel-looking tone that exudes elegance and class and may suit neat and classy corporate themes. Porcea Rio Black, on the other hand, has a dark, strong, modern but natural feel to it that automatically brings a luxurious finish to the commercial outdoor landscape. 

There are different outdoor porcelain tiles that can suit different design themes and needs. It is just a matter of choosing which one works best for the desired outcome. 

Outdoor Porcelain Tiles Add Value to the Commercial Space 

There’s no harm in considering materials that could add value and could potentially open doors to possible business ventures. That is exactly what outdoor porcelain tiles offer. On top of providing durability and visual appeal, outdoor porcelain tiles boost the overall value of a commercial space. They do not just make the area appear richer; they significantly upscale the resale value of the property. 

Even if there are no plans to resell or rent out the area, adding value to the commercial space is still a vital win that businesses can capitalize on.
