An indoor ceramic floor is as resistant as the pavement that you will find in our online ceramic flooring store. non-slip exterior. Porcelain is an extremely hard material that we can put to any use.

However, the finish of an interior porcelain tile it is much more silky and it would not be recommended to place it on outdoor terraces.

Natural acacia wood

is a type of outdoor flooring of great beauty. It is not in as much demand as other non-slip flooring for two reasons: its price and its maintenance.

In our experience, surely the best terrace flooring is porcelain stoneware. It is the most resistant and versatile type of flooring due to the number of models, measurements and finishes that the market offers us.

With porcelain tiles we will not only have the guarantee of a durable floor that meets the non-slip flooring standard approved by the European Union, but we will be able to design our own garden and terrace giving life to our decoration ideas.

Many people look for non-slip bathroom floors, but what we really should buy are floors that do not slip and not floors that are really slip-resistant. For a bathroom, a matt porcelain tile would be sufficient.
