Garden patios are a great way to add extra living and entertaining space to your home. Why not expand your internal space into your patio area by using a continuous area of ceramic or natural stone tiles. Versatile has a comprehensive range of outdoor tiles as part of its collection. These tiles are easy to maintain and will even withstand frost.

When choosing tiles for outdoor use, Versatile advise you to consider the following:

• Choose tiles with a frost resistant rating
  
• Do choose a textured tile for anti-slip properties
  
• Ensure your tiles are laid properly with a solid bed fixing technique
  
• Choose designs that offer a variety of sizes

Another practical use of decorative tiles is to cover any garden wall that has damp problems - i.e. one that has contact with earth on one side. This will save you from needing to scrape and repaint every year.
