Terrace Tiles
Terrace tiles, also known as outdoor or patio tiles, are specifically designed tiles for use on terraces, balconies, rooftops, and other outdoor spaces. These tiles are engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including exposure to sunlight, rain, temperature changes, and foot traffic.
Terrace tiles come in various materials, styles, and sizes to suit different design preferences and functional requirements. At H&R Johnson, you can find several types of tiles suitable for terrace and balcony flooring.
You can aim to control the indoor temperatures using special cool roof tiles or provide a beautiful seating area with designer tiles.

How to Choose the Best Terrace Tiles?
The best terrace tiles for any area will need an appropriate selection of three factors – tile size, thickness, and cooling qualities. These three factors will change as per the need and following factor:
- Floor Usage: The way your terrace flooring will be used defines the tile characteristics and designs you can choose. If you are looking for balcony tiles, you can install EDC or cool roof tiles with lower thickness, i.e., 0.8cm, and size. However, if you are tiling the entire terrace floor, you may need larger tiles. Similarly, if the terrace is for public use or will bear high footfall, you should use thicker tiles, i.e., 1.2 cm and above.
- Cooling Needs: Does the floor need to stay cool during the harsh summer noon? If yes, cool roof tiles are a better option. However, if cooling is not a problem, EDC tiles will do just fine. Usually, low to medium-footfall areas like outdoor pathways for homes, and residential terrace flooring can use cool roof tiles. But, public spaces like restaurants, leisure areas, pavements, etc. should use 1.2cm EDC tiles for longer life.
- Available Installation Area: Total available installation area defines the size of the tile you can use. Pavements, balconies, outdoor seating areas, and terrace floors demand a sloped installation for quick drainage of water towards the outlets. Smaller tiles make sloping easy.

Depending on the total area of your terrace floor you can choose terrace tiles of 40x40cm; 30x30cm & 20x20cm at H&R Johnson. The terrace floor needs to have a slope to drain the water. So, smaller tile sizes are better for the terrace floor application.
