Can porcelain tiles be used in a covered outdoor area?

Johno1990

I found these tiles in Bunnings a couple weeks ago and I’m wondering if I could use these in my outdoor entertainment area to use as bench tops? It says these ones aren’t made for outdoor use but my entertainment area is mostly enclosed and the placement of where I’ll be putting these tiles are in an enclosed spot

Hello @Johno1990 

Please keep in mind that if you use these tiles outside, their warranty will be void as they are specifically designed for indoor use only. However, using these tiles for your outdoor benchtop will not only create a beautiful finish, but also provide a durable, easy-to-clean surface. My best advice is to seal the grout lines with Dunlop 250ml Grout Sealer to protect the grout from getting immediately dirty. 

As a possible alternative, I also suggest looking at the Outdoor Paver 60 x 60 x 2cm Porcelain Sabbia for your benchtop cover.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
