The summer months are slowly creeping up on us. 

This means only 2 things. Great weather (finally) and BBQs!

However, the BBQ area of your garden may be looking a bit worse for wear. Have no fear though as The Online Tile Shop is here to help. 

Use this as a guide to understand the best outdoor tile options and why your outdoor BBQ area needs a little bit of tender loving care. 

Bringing Your Family Together

The past few years have been rocky for most people. As a result the maintenance of your home may not have been at the top of your priorities list.

By updating your outdoor space you are able to really bring your loved ones together this summer. Making memories that last a lifetime. 

If this is what you want to achieve we recommend maximising the amount of space you use for your outdoor BBQ space!

Canopies and roofs will also work really well with a BBQ space as it will make your guests feel at home. 

Decoration is also key. Fairy Lights work wonders especially if you are hosting events that go on into the early hours.



Which Tiles Are Best For The Outdoors?

Many people tend to enjoy their BBQs in open spaces. 

British weather can be unpredictable, even in the summer. That’s why it is important to understand the different characteristics of different tiles. 

What more, BBQs can become quite a heated affair. Having a heat resistant tile goes hand in hand with having a BBQ area in your garden. 

Outdoor porcelain tiles are known to be a good, all rounder when renovating outdoor spaces. 

They are a firm option making them long lasting and money efficient. They are also made from clay, resulting in increased heat resistance. 

Our Mesina Gris tile has amazing quality, boasting a beautiful traditional pattern. This tile will bring any BBQ area to life!

How Do I Maintain My BBQ area?

Once your BBQ area is set up you must consider the maintenance. 

As mentioned before, opting for a more sturdy tile can reduce the risk of wear and tear. 

Products are available on the market for tile aftercare. We recommend the Floorseal range of products. They are an industry known brand and their products are easy to get your head around!

Also having a roof over your area is beneficial. Overall the area is more resistant to weather and gives it more of a layout.

Very impressed with the service. We were left short of a specific tile when our bathroom supplier went bust. I found them on the Online Tile Shop's website, called them to check and received confirmation they had enough in stock. Delivery was quick and not expensive, and they kept in touch on the delivery progress. Would recommend.

Beautiful tiles that were shipped almost as soon as I ordered. Very happy with the quality. I was not at home for the initial delivery attempt (I expected them to take longer) but this was quickly rearranged for the following day. Great customer service. I would definitely order from here again.

Unfortunately the sample tile has not been delivered as yet ! I’m not sure how long it takes but it was ordered a week ago.

Absolutely first class customer service both online and in person. Delighted with the first set of tiles I purchased, so ordered a second batch of different tiles for another project. I had tiles left over from the first order, so travelled to the store to return and purchase the second order. The staff in store were a delight to deal with and nothing was too much bother. I'll definitely use again!
