This is mainly due to the fact that they have a rougher surface than usual, which can be obtained directly when manufacturing the piece or by performing a subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paratureforma.com\/tratamiento-de-pavimentos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">treatment<\/a> by means of laser or specific chemical products. <\/p>\n\n<p>This is particularly noticeable in <strong>outdoor ceramic tile floors<\/strong>. In those made with natural stone, it is not usually necessary. The reason? Slate, marble or granite, among others, are materials with a high level of porosity. Therefore, they are able to absorb water and maintain adherence when barefoot or wearing shoes.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\t\t<div class=\"ic_cta_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ic_cta_banner\">\n\t\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/convierte-tu-terraza-en-un-lugar-ideal\/\" onclick=\"ic_cta_track_click_4849()\" class=\"ic-cta ic-cta-generic\" title=\"CTA 6 - Jard\u00edn y Terrazas\" 1>\n\t\t      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CTA1-Post-ebook-8pasos-terraza-rincon-favorito.png\" alt=\"CTA 6 - Jard\u00edn y Terrazas\" title=\"\">\n\t\t    <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\twindow.onload = function(e) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tga('send', 'event', {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventCategory: 'CTA 6 - Jard\u00edn y Terrazas',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventAction: 'view',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventLabel: 'https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19687',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnonInteraction: true\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\tfunction ic_cta_track_click_4849() {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tga('send', 'event', {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventCategory: 'CTA 6 - Jard\u00edn y Terrazas',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventAction: 'click',\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\teventLabel: 'https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19687'\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of anti-slip flooring for outdoor use<\/h2>\n\n<p>Having clarified the previous point, it is time to explain what are the <strong>main advantages of non-slip outdoor flooring<\/strong>. As you can see, they are many and varied. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick and easy installation<\/h3>\n\n<p>The process of installing a <strong>quality floor<\/strong> with anti-slip properties is no different from that of any other type of flooring. Briefly, we can say that it is divided into the following stages: <\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><p><strong>Removal of the previous pavement<\/strong>. This requires the use of hammers, chisels or any other tool that may be useful. Debris must always be taken to waste treatment points authorized by the municipality in question.  <\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Mortar application<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">. Here we recommend the use of a self-leveling mortar, as this is the best way to ensure a level and smooth surface. The setting time of this building material is between 24 and 48 hours, although the exact time will be reflected in the instructions for use.  <\/span>                                                    <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Placement of parts<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">. Once the mortar is dry, you can start laying the non-slip tiles using a specific glue. You can place guides between the different tiles so that the result is perfect.  <\/span> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <strong style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Grout application<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">. When the pavement is laid, this element is applied over the joints to conceal them and prevent leaks. You can use a simple damp cloth to remove the excess.  <\/span> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>In case you do not have the knowledge or the necessary tools to lay the tiles, the best thing to do is to use a professional mason. Do not consider it an expense, but an investment that will result in a higher quality finish. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"545\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Antideslizante-exterior.jpg\" alt=\"Non-slip floors\" class=\"wp-image-6140\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Antideslizante-exterior.jpg 545w, https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Antideslizante-exterior-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Antideslizante-exterior-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety: less risk of falls<\/h3>\n\n<p>This is undoubtedly the main advantage offered by <strong>outdoor anti-slip flooring<\/strong>. To give you an idea of its importance or, failing that, the installation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharp-liskov.213-165-74-80.plesk.page\/jardin-y-exteriores\/como-poner-cesped-artificial\/\">artificial or natural grass<\/a>, we can tell you that the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 37.3 million cases per year of falls require medical attention due to slips. <\/p>\n\n<p>In the case of the elderly, the consequences of these domestic accidents can be very serious. Younger people are not exempt from suffering a concussion or a fracture. <\/p>\n\n<p>As we said before, these tiles have a rough surface to the touch, which allows them to maintain a<strong> larger contact surface with the footwear<\/strong>. Therefore, the grip offered is much greater and the risk of a fall is reduced to a minimum. Even if the surface is completely soaked or there has been a frost during the night.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Durability<\/h3>\n\n<p>Durability is an inherent quality of porcelain stoneware floor tiles. In fact, it does not matter whether they are used indoors or outdoors. This type of tile is able to <strong>remain intact despite heat, cold and humidity<\/strong>. In fact, they are extremely resistant to the action of the sun&#8217;s ultraviolet rays, frost and rain.   <\/p>\n\n<p>This is due to several characteristics of the material. The first is that it <strong>is non-porous<\/strong>, so moisture cannot penetrate into its interior. But it is also a poor thermal conductor, so it does not expand or contract at ambient temperatures. As if that were not enough, its aesthetic finish can be easily and conveniently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paratureforma.com\/proteccion-de-pavimentos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protected<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resistance<\/h3>\n\n<p>Another outstanding aspect of <strong>non-slip outdoor flooring<\/strong> is its resistance to impact. In fact, it is an almost unbreakable material once installed, so you won&#8217;t have to worry about dropping something and having to replace a tile. This is another aspect that results in greater durability.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy cleaning and maintenance<\/h3>\n\n<p>As we have also said before,<strong> non-slip<\/strong> porcelain stoneware<strong> floors<\/strong> for outdoors are non-porous. This not only means that they do not absorb rainwater or, for example, water overflowing from the pool, but they also do not stain. <\/p>\n\n<p>Therefore, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paratureforma.com\/limpieza-de-pavimentos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cleaning of this type of flooring<\/a> is particularly easy and convenient. In many cases, <strong>it is not even necessary to apply specific products<\/strong> that cannot be found in most supermarkets. Something that does not happen with natural stone or other types of materials.  <\/p>\n\n<p>At this point, we believe that all the advantages offered by <strong>non-slip outdoor flooring<\/strong> for terraces, patios and gardens are sufficiently clear. Therefore, now you only have to enter our catalog and choose the one that best suits your needs and your aesthetic tastes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paratureforma.com\/contacto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ParaTuReforma&#8217; s customer service<\/a> can help you find it if you want.
