Porcelanosa Bottega Antracita 596x596x20mm Outdoor Tiles

Yes, the 20mm thickness of these tiles is specifically designed for outdoor use and makes them suitable for laying directly onto a prepared bed of sand and cement or a suitable outdoor pedestal system, without the need for additional substrate boards. The R13 anti-slip rating also makes them safe for outdoor patios and paths that are exposed to rain and moisture. Their porcelain construction means they are highly resistant to frost, weathering, and heavy foot traffic, making them a durable long-term choice for external spaces.

Yes, this is one of the key advantages of this particular tile. The Bottega Antracita Outdoor tile shares the same concrete-effect black matt aesthetic as other tiles in the Bottega range, so you can achieve a continuous indoor-outdoor look by pairing it with the indoor Bottega Antracita tiles in your kitchen or bathroom. The 596x596mm format is consistent across the range, helping to maintain visual continuity, though the outdoor version is 20mm thick rather than the standard indoor thickness, so grout joint alignment will need careful planning at the threshold.

Each box contains 2 tiles, each measuring 596x596mm, giving a coverage of approximately 0.71 square metres per box. For a patio or outdoor area, measure the total square metreage and divide by 0.71 to calculate the number of boxes required, then add at least 10-15% extra to account for cuts around edges and any breakages. Given the 20mm thickness of these tiles, handling and cutting will require appropriate tools and care during installation.
