Product watch: A total outdoor tile solution from Parkside

The Outdoor Collection from Parkside provides a total tile solution for commercial and residential projects…

Following the launch of its 100 per cent natural, ‘zero waste’ wall tile, Parkside has unveiled the Outdoor Collection, which helps designers, specifiers and developers to fully realise the potential of outside space.

Parkside Tiles Outdoor Collection

Whether a natural extension of internal bar and restaurant areas, or a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor living in housing, the Outdoor Collection provides porcelain tiles and supporting ancillaries designed to cope with the rigours of all-round external use.

The collection features porcelain tiles that are ideally suited to outdoor use. Not only more durable than their ceramic counterparts, porcelain tiles are also UV and weather resistant. Delivering stability in sub-zero and high temperatures, they are the only tile option for prolonged external use on terraces, balconies and outside living spaces.

Stocked in the UK for fast delivery, Vista is a versatile UV-resistant porcelain tile available in a range of sizes, effects and specifications all made to cope with outdoor use. Available in Vista20 (20mm) or Vista40 (40mm) thickness, these vitrified porcelain floor slabs provide a PTV 36+ surface that can be used for outdoor spaces in commercial and residential settings. Selected designs are available in 10mm thickness to create a link between indoors and outdoors.

In stone, wood, concrete, marble, terrazzo and slate effects, Vista can work to transform outside space. Whether a traditional stone effect or the modern look of terrazzo, Vista provides a finish that is hard-wearing frost, mould and stain resistant.

Dawson is a modern concrete effect UV-resistant porcelain tile, available in five sizes to suit a range of outdoor floor requirements, including formats up to 1200mm x 2400mm that are ideal for large commercial premises. In Smoke and Tarmac colour options, Dawson features a minimum 20 per cent recycled content.

The outdoor-ready tile features a textured finish for 36+ PTV for assured performance in residential and commercial environments. Hard-wearing, frost, stain and mould resistant, Dawson is also available in 10mm specification to create a floor that flows indoors to outdoors – perfect for natural extension of living space in homes. In commercial projects, Dawson can be used to extend design principles to outdoor front of house.

The Outdoor Collection includes a full range of supporting ancillaries. A range of steel pedestals ensure installations can conform to regulations for external wall systems and balconies above 18m. Available in flat head adjustable height and slope corrector adjustable height types, they facilitate quick and easy installation providing excellent support and are lockable to prevent movement from vibration or shocks. Plastic pedestals are also available.

Alongside, specialist adhesives, corrosion-resistant lightweight aluminium profiles and Easy Joint brush-in grout in a range of colours, the Outdoor Collection provides projects with a tile system that provides an attractive and durable finish capable of maintaining appearance throughout years of external use.
