Bottega Acero 596 x 596 x 20mm Outdoor Tiles

Yes, the Bottega Acero 596 x 596mm tiles are specifically designed for outdoor use and are built to withstand the demands of UK weather conditions. Their robust 20mm thickness and durable porcelain construction make them ideal for patios, pathways, and garden seating areas, offering excellent resistance to frost, rain, and heavy foot traffic. Their matt finish also provides a naturally safer, more slip-resistant surface compared to polished alternatives, which is important in wet outdoor environments.

Each box of the Bottega Acero 20mm tiles contains 2 rectified tiles and covers 0.71 m². To cover a 15 m² patio, you would need approximately 22 boxes as a base calculation (15 divided by 0.71), but we always recommend adding at least 10% extra for cuts, wastage, and any future repairs – bringing your total to around 24-25 boxes. Ordering a little extra upfront from the same batch helps ensure a consistent colour match.

Absolutely – the Bottega Acero tiles are versatile enough for both outdoor and indoor use, including bathrooms and kitchens, and are compatible with underfloor heating systems. Their rectified edges allow for minimal grout joints, creating a sleek, continuous appearance on interior floors. When installing over underfloor heating, ensure you use a flexible tile adhesive and grout that are rated for heated substrates, and follow a gradual warm-up programme when first commissioning the heating system.
