Outdoor & Large-Area Tiling
Alfresco areas, terraces, balconies, pool surrounds and substantial open-plan floors — laid flat, drained correctly and detailed for South East Queensland sun, rain and movement.
Where we work
Substantial external and open-plan areas
Outdoor tiling has to deal with thermal movement, water and heavy use. On larger areas those forces compound, so the preparation, bedding, joint layout and drainage strategy matter more than the tile itself.
- Alfresco and outdoor entertaining areas
- Patios, terraces and courtyards
- Balconies and podium decks
- Pool surrounds and coping transitions
- Substantial exterior tiled areas
- Large residential floors
- Seamless indoor-outdoor transitions
- Stairs, landings and level changes

Detailing
What separates an outdoor area that lasts
Externally tiled areas fail for predictable reasons. Addressing them is standard scope on our projects, not an upgrade.
Falls and drainage
Screeds set to fall towards drainage points, with thresholds, strip drains and edges resolved before tiling.
Movement control
Perimeter and intermediate movement joints located to suit the slab and area, rather than added as an afterthought.
Membranes where required
Balconies, podiums and areas over habitable space waterproofed with the appropriate system and detailing.
Full bedding and slip resistance
Solid bed coverage for external tiles, with finishes selected for the traffic and wet-area conditions.
