Why Tile Is a Great Choice for Outdoor Spaces

Tile is one of the most durable outdoor flooring options available. When properly selected and installed, outdoor tile can last for decades with minimal maintenance. It doesn't warp like wood, crack like concrete, or fade like composite materials. It's also easy to clean and holds up well to Tennessee's climate.

For patios, porches, pool decks, and outdoor kitchens, tile is a practical and stylish choice. Thomas's Custom Tile helps Knoxville, TN, homeowners select tile that's rated for outdoor use and appropriate for the specific conditions of their space.

Outdoor Tile Surfaces We Work On

We install outdoor tile on a wide variety of surfaces:

  • Front and back porches
  • Patio areas and outdoor entertaining spaces
  • Covered decks and sunrooms
  • Outdoor kitchen floors
  • Entry steps and walkways
  • Pool surrounds (non-slip tile options available)

Choosing the Right Tile for Outdoor Use


Not all tile is rated for outdoor use. Indoor tile can crack when exposed to freeze-thaw cycles, and smooth tile can become dangerously slippery when wet. Thomas's Custom Tile helps you choose tile that is rated for exterior use, has the right slip resistance, and looks great in your outdoor space.

We work with porcelain, natural stone, and paver-style tile materials. Each has different characteristics, and the right choice depends on your specific project, whether it's a covered porch in the shade or a sun-drenched patio that sees full weather exposure.

Proper Installation for Outdoor Durability

Outdoor tile installation is different from indoor work. The substrate needs to handle movement caused by temperature changes. The drainage needs to be planned correctly so water doesn't pool. And the grout and tile adhesive need to be rated for exterior use.

Thomas's Custom Tile has done many outdoor tile projects throughout Knoxville, TN, and understands exactly what it takes to get a result that holds up long-term. We take the time to do the prep work right, because that's what makes the difference between a tile job that lasts and one that fails in a few years.

Pavers and Specialty Exterior Tile

In addition to standard outdoor tile, Thomas's Custom Tile can also work with pavers for patios, walkways, and driveway borders. Pavers give a classic, natural look that works beautifully in both traditional and modern outdoor spaces. We'll help you figure out which material is right for your project and your budget.
