Outdoor Tiling
Brisbane

The Australian standard recommends a minimum R11 slip rating for pool surrounds and wet zones, and R10 for covered alfresco areas. We only supply tiles that meet the relevant rating for the area.

Tiles can be laid on a structurally sound timber deck using a decoupling membrane system (like Ditra or similar). This allows for the natural movement of the timber without cracking the tile.

Properly selected porcelain tiles have very low expansion coefficients and handle Queensland temperatures well. Movement joints (expansion gaps) are always incorporated into our outdoor tile installations.

If the area is over living space or an enclosed area, yes — QBCC-compliant waterproofing is required. For ground-level patios, it depends on the substrate. We assess each job individually.

Most outdoor porcelain tiles only require a regular hose-down and occasional light scrub with a pH-neutral cleaner. Natural stone requires periodic resealing. We advise on maintenance at handover.

Yes. We cut tiles to fit around existing garden beds, drainage points, and any fixed structures. This is all planned in the layout before we start cutting.
