Harlem 20mm Collection

Yes, the Harlem 20mm tiles are well suited to pedestal or raised dry-lay installations, which are commonly used on roof terraces and balconies where a mortar bed is not practical. The 20mm thickness provides the rigidity needed to span between pedestal heads without flexing, and this method also allows for drainage and easy access to the waterproofing layer beneath.

As an outdoor porcelain tile, the Harlem 20mm collection is finished with a textured surface achieving an R11 slip resistance rating, which is recommended for external areas including patios, paths, and pool surrounds. This ensures the tiles remain safe underfoot even when rain or other moisture is present.

Yes, the Harlem 20mm tiles are manufactured from porcelain with a very low water absorption rate, which makes them frost resistant and suitable for year-round outdoor use across all UK climates. Their dense 20mm construction also adds durability against heavy foot traffic and garden furniture being moved across the surface.

20mm porcelain patio tiles are considerably heavier than standard wall or floor tiles, and a full pallet order can weigh several hundred kilograms. When ordering, make sure your delivery address has suitable vehicle access for a pallet delivery, and arrange for help to be available to move tiles from the drop-off point to your installation area to avoid injury.
