  • Ignoring slip resistance and texture
Safety should be a top priority for you. To prevent accidents and slipping, you should choose tiles that are slip-resistant or having tile texture like that help keep everyone safe and sound, slip resistance is a great investment for households with active children and pets.....or even adults who like to run about.
  • Not thinking about the weather conditions and light exposure
Outdoor tiles are exposed to loads of moisture and if its exposed to too much light then it can wear down in colour, that's why you have to make sure the tile you choose is perfect for the conditions that it will be in. Ensure that your garden , patio or front garden look like they're brand new!
  • Dot + Dabbing!!!
Avoid this. This will cause the tiles to crack and have hollow gaps underneath them! You want to make sure everything is spread equally across the surface of the tile 
  • Not matching your tile to your design
By not matching your tile to your design you'll cause yourself and your tiler stress, and you want your outdoor tiles to look their best, so for example if you choose something that clashes with them their uniqueness.
  • Not considering if your tile needs coating or not
By ignoring this crucial step you could end up with damaged and wore down outdoor tiles, they will be exposed to everything so it's worth looking into if they need coating or not.
