1. Select materials aligned with the functional characteristics of outdoor spaces

Outdoor tiles are frequently used in areas such as walkways, corridors, and front yards—spaces with high foot traffic and direct exposure to environmental elements. Unlike indoor tiles, outdoor paving must possess exceptional thickness, hardness, and load-bearing capacity to withstand impact without cracking or breaking. Moreover, garden areas—especially those surrounding swimming pools—are highly susceptible to rapid wear due to rain, sun exposure, as well as alkaline and cleaning chemicals. For this reason, outdoor tiles must not only be robust but also weather-resistant and chemically stable to maintain their appearance and durability over time.

Tiles used for gardens must meet stringent technical and usage standards.

To fulfill these demands, homeowners are advised to choose tiles with at least semi-porcelain bodies or opt for specially engineered outdoor products such as Viglacera’s color-glazed cotto or 20mm-thick granite tiles. These tiles are specifically manufactured to meet the mechanical requirements of outdoor applications, offering superior strength, weather resistance, and long-lasting aesthetic value.

2. Choose tile sizes in harmony with garden proportions

Tile size plays a crucial role in defining the visual appeal of an outdoor space. For narrow areas such as walkways, small-sized tiles can be paired with grass strips to form elegant yet understated paths. Viglacera’s range includes various medium and small-format tiles like 30x30, 40x40, and 50x50, catering to such design needs.

Larger, more open spaces—such as spacious yards or patios—can benefit from larger formats like 60x60 or 60x120. In addition, unique shapes such as hexagonal tiles or slim plank formats can be mixed and matched to create visual highlights that enhance the outdoor aesthetic.

3. Prioritize anti-slip surface textures

Outdoor spaces often serve as main thoroughfares, particularly for families with active children. Areas around swimming pools or exposed zones prone to rainwater and irrigation should prioritize anti-slip surfaces. The recommended slip-resistance ratings for garden tiles are R11 and R12, offering optimal grip while maintaining ease of cleaning. For surfaces with constant water exposure, R13-rated tiles are more suitable.

Ideal options include tiles with lappato finishes, matt glazes, or specialized surface textures such as sugar effects or 3D motifs. These not only enhance safety but also contribute to the overall elegance of the outdoor design.

4. Opt for water-resistant and well-draining tiles

By nature, outdoor areas are constantly exposed to moisture and standing water—especially in climates like Vietnam’s. Water stagnation from plant irrigation or moisture rising from below can deteriorate tile layers if not addressed. Thus, water resistance and effective drainage become critical considerations for outdoor tiles.

Currently, very few brands in the market offer outdoor tiles with high resistance to water absorption. Viglacera’s dedicated garden tile collections are crafted using highly purified raw materials and color-mixing formulas that do not rely on pigmented particles. As a result, the tile bodies are free of microcapillaries, delivering superior reverse water resistance. This makes them a top-tier choice for quality-conscious homeowners.

5. Coordinate colors and patterns with overall interior design

As an extension of the home, garden design should complement the primary interior style and color palette. A cohesive aesthetic not only creates visual harmony but also reflects the homeowner’s sophistication. Since gardens are meant to offer a relaxing and nature-inspired ambiance, light tones and nature-themed patterns are highly favored.

Viglacera’s wood-effect tiles are popular in high-end resorts for their balance of safety, waterproofing, and visual appeal.
