Can these tiles be used outside too for patios?
Our advice: These tiles hold an R10 anti-slip rating which would be deemed best used in indoor or outdoor areas where there may be minimal wetting remaining on the surface: Bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, food courts, and commercial areas with external entrances. Ideally however an R11 or above would be preferential.
