Decorative outdoor wall tiles
Employing decorative outdoor wall tiles to give character, style and form to outdoor spaces is a growing trend.
Tiled areas in gardens can create a clearly defined area for conversation, sharing a drink, or eating a meal with friends.
Custom printed decorative outdoor wall tiles, if carefully tailor-made for your project, can make a real difference to the feel and ambience of these spaces.
Not all tiles are suitable for outdoor use. The ravages of weather can take a heavy toll on exterior building materials, and any tiling feature needs to be able to withstand the assaults of wind, rain and cold.

Decorative Outdoor Wall Tiles: Ceramic, Porcelain & Natural Stone
Ceramic provides an aesthetically pleasing option for decorative outdoor wall tiles and can enhance the visual appeal of your garden or patio.
However, they can sometimes be at risk of suffering badly from the weather, resulting in cracks and pops. When ceramic tiles are manufactured to the highest quality, these risks are minimised, making them a viable choice for decorative outdoor projects.
For a more durable alternative, porcelain outdoor wall tiles are the perfect choice.
Porcelain has a much higher density than ceramic, so it doesn’t have those unfortunate spaces into which the frost and mould can permeate.
Porcelain is the best material for outdoor tile features. Porcelain comes in a wide variety of finishes and textures. This means that you can choose the texture that best fits your design aesthetic.
Some designs may need a natural stone look. Although it may seem an obvious choice for outdoor features, many types of stone become very slippery when wet and may not be safe underfoot.
Unlike porcelain, natural stone needs a high level of maintenance. Porcelain is a very versatile material, and can be made to look like the natural materials you had in mind for your design. You will get the look you want alongside the all-important durability and safety.
At Digital Ceramics, we source high quality porcelain and ceramic tiles suitable for outdoor use. Our custom tiles are finished using our purpose-built printer to give the tiles a long-lasting, striking visual impact.
