Offering the look and feel of natural stone but with the advantage of being hardwearing and almost non-absorbent, Bluenorte is highly resistant to weathering and requires less maintenance than natural stone products. These tiles are also incredibly versatile when it comes to the settings in which they're installed - they look equally as fantastic whether installed independently or used to tile from indoor to outdoor areas to create a continous aesthetic. Please note that when installing a tile in an exterior environment a concrete base or screed will need to be applied beforehand. After the concrete has set the tiles should be installed using a flexible adhesive such as Keraquick or Keraflex Maxi.

Is Bluenorte outdoor floor tile suitable for use with underfloor heating?
Our advice: Thank you for your question, Our Bluenorte Outdoor Tile is 20 mm thick and it is suitable with underfloor heating, However I would recommend using the indoor Bluenorte as it is 10mm thick which will heat up quicker.
