Outdoor Wall Tiles

Key Features of Outdoor Wall Tiles

All our modern exterior wall tiles have the following key features -

• Weather & UV Resistance

  Orientbell Tile’s outdoor tiles are built to withstand fluctuating and extreme temperatures, sunlight, wind, and moisture. Their surfaces are engineered to resist fading, cracking, or warping, even after years of exposure.

• Low Maintenance & Easy to Clean

  Most outdoor wall tiles have washable, stain-resistant surfaces, which makes upkeep simple. You can easily rinse off any accumulated dust or stubborn marks to retain the tile’s visual appeal.

• Durable & Long-Lasting

  Many trending outdoor wall tile designs are now made with high-strength materials, such as porcelain and vitrified bodies. Their structural integrity makes them really durable and long-lasting.

• Durability

  Choose tiles that are weather-resistant and have low water absorption, as they will last longer while retaining their original aesthetics.

• Size

  You must check your wall dimensions to determine whether you need small, medium, or large-format wall tiles . Larger tiles will create fewer grout lines, reducing maintenance. They’ll also create a modern look. Smaller tiles are recommended for better flexibility for curves and detailed patterns.

• Texture

  Choose textured wall tiles, such as 3D, stone-look, or brick-style, as they will naturally add visual interest to your exterior spaces. Stick to exterior wall tiles designs that complement natural outdoor surroundings.

• Slip Resistance

  Slip resistance is generally a floor-specific requirement, not a wall requirement. However, in outdoor areas near water features, pools, or high-moisture zones, selecting wall tiles with a slightly textured or matte finish can improve grip during cleaning and reduce the chances of hands slipping when someone touches the wall for support.

• Shade

  Choose light-coloured tiles for sunny areas as they reflect heat and keep the walls cooler. You can also choose vibrant shades to infuse your outdoor spaces with pleasant colours. Consider testing different colour samples in actual outdoor lighting conditions to pick the right shade.

• Design Matching Home Exterior

  You must align the tile’s style, colour, and pattern with your home’s architectural style and landscaping. It will help create visual harmony, enhancing the exterior space’s overall appearance.

Installation Guide for Outdoor Wall Tiles

Installing house outdoor wall tiles is relatively simple. You just have to follow the steps shared below:

• Surface Preparation

  You cannot install wall tiles on unclean or cracked surfaces. Hence, start by cleaning the wall surface and repairing any cracks or loose plaster. Once the surface is prepared, proceed to the next step.

• Adhesive Selection

  Use a polymer-modified adhesive which is suitable for exterior surfaces and the tile material.

• Spacing

  Space tiles in a way that aids uniform joint maintenance. It will allow for thermal expansion, especially in larger tiles.

• Grouting

  Now, choose an exterior-grade grout that resists moisture and staining.

• Sealing

  Some stone-finish tiles may require proper sealing to prevent moisture absorption. However, if you’re installing tiles like glazed porcelain tiles, you may not need to seal.

• Professional Installation Recommendation

  If you’re a beginner or don’t have the tools or knowledge to do a DIY tile installation, it’s best to outsource the work to trained professionals.

Maintenance & Cleaning Tips

Regardless of the outdoor wall tile design you choose, you can maintain it using the following tips.

• Wash tiles with mild soap and water to remove dust buildup.
• Avoid harsh acids for cleaning or any abrasive cleaners.
• Use a soft brush to clean textured or 3D tile surfaces.
