What Garden Floor Options Should I Consider for an Outdoor Space? — Patio and Garden Flooring Solutions
Multi-Purpose
Patios serve a few different purposes. They may be fairly open-plan, featuring an eating and lounge area with walkways, or could be used mostly as a kid's play area or even an outdoor fitness space.
In this case, it is best to look at versatile and multi-purpose patio floor ideas that take into account safety, comfort and simple maintenance. Patio outdoor floor tiles which tick all the boxes for flexibility and allowing for multi-functional use are definitely the way to go.
Our outdoor garden matting serves multiple purposes in one solution providing a space which can be used for a variety of activities from leisure to play and fitness.
Anti-Slip
Our slip-resistant rubber patio tiles add a layer of comfort and protection that prevents breakages, slips, falls and injuries to all outdoor areas. This is especially important for paving spaces used for socialising and children's play.
Hard-wearing
Furniture, play equipment, fire pit areas, and hot tubs are all common features of outdoor patio space. Your paving should be able to withstand heavy loads and impact without resulting in damage.
Our external patio tiles are an ideal solution for supporting weighty furniture, popular outdoor equipment and heavy play structures such as swing sets and climbing frames.
Discover the Benefits of our User-Friendly Outdoor Tiles
High Comfort and Protection
Our rubber patio tiles are constructed from robust, recycled SBR rubber with anti-fatigue properties. This means a higher level of comfort as well as shock absorption from impact.
The non-slip surface prevents slips and falls, and the soft surface texture is kind to the skin, which is especially important for children's play.
Scratch/Resistant and Shatter Proof
If you have pets or a busy household, you want to consider a suitable paving surface that copes well with high traffic, repeated use and wear and tear.
You also want to avoid hard surfaces such as porcelain tiles or concrete paving, which will be less tolerant to dropped glassware and spillages that could cause staining. Rubber tiles are scratch, stain proof and protect against breakages.
Easy Mobility
It is much easier to traverse a garden space with a flat and even surface to walk on. If your patio flooring is used by wheelchair users or people with mobility limitations, consider surfaces that create smooth and easy access.
Our rubber outdoor flooring tile solution can be fitted over any uneven surface, from slabs to grass and can tolerate wheels, mobile furniture and storage units.
Patio Flooring for All Weather Conditions and Exterior Use
Our patio matting range is made to withstand rain, frost and extreme hot and cold temperatures. The specially treated rubber will not fade, discolour, crumble or wear prematurely from outdoor use.
Likewise, the outdoor patio tile system is non-porous, resistant to water and has self-drainage on the underside where it meets the ground.
Easy Installation Patio Flooring
Our patio flooring mats are simple to fit DIY. Please see our complete installation guidelines for more details. They can be laid using compression or adhesive.
Alternatively, some options include interlocking pins that connect the mats for extra stability.
Patio Flooring Aesthetic and Styles
Just like your home interior, style and aesthetics are important factors to consider for your patio project.
Our rubber patio flooring comes in three neutral but complementary colours (Dark Red, Dark Green and Black), which enhances the natural aspects of your garden greenery and decor without stealing the show.
They also come in different sizes, shapes and thickness options with matching edges and borders.
Low Maintenance Patio
Rubber outdoor flooring works best for outdoor spaces that are well-used but don't need to be consistently washed and cared for to perform well and stand the test of time.
They can be simply washed, brushed or hosed down to keep them well-maintained. The non-porous rubber will not absorb moisture which could result in mould or bacteria buildup, unlike alternative outdoor flooring options.
