Exterior tile installation

Why you should install an Exterior Tile?

There are several reasons why you might want to install outdoor tile:

• Add value to your property
• Durability
• Water resistance
• Low Maintenance
• Slip Resistance
• Scratch resistance
• Seamless Floor Style
• Protection from Pollution (This refers to exterior wall tile)

Outdoor tile creates a slip resistant surface that will give you, your pets, and your patio furniture traction.

As an experienced outdoor tile installer in Toronto and GTA for a decade we consider the weather conditions and continuously pay attention to the application of suitable outdoor installation materials for outdoor projects. Note that installation materials such as mortars and grouts vary between the interior and exterior application including the porcelain tile.

Adjustable Support Pedestals/Paver Support System

Main Tile Setters Inc offer to apply this system mostly in their commercial and industiral projects.

Porcelain tiles using adjustable support pedestals are the quickest and easiest way to design a horizontal deck over uneven surfaces. It saves you the trouble of needing to construct extensive supporting substructures, such as wood or metal beams. Underneath the adjustable support pedestals, cables and pipes can be hidden but easily accessed when the need is there. The most common use of porcelain pavers is for roof deck applications. The adjustable height pedestals are placed under each corner of the paver, to balance out the surface in a completely horizontal level. To avoid risk of damage or injury, you should consider the impact of installing porcelain pavers in high-traffic commercial areas due to the shock and impact. In cases like these, steel protection plates or self-adhesive protection sheets should be installed underneath the pavers to boost security and safety. These add-ons will reinforce your installation, especially when deck heights are greater than four feet.

Benefits of Adjustable Support Pedestals:

• Designed to hide pipes and equipment underneath
• Absorbs expansion and structural movements
• Ensure a consistently flat paved surface
• Quickly drain water
• Ensures constant air circulation to extend the life of the waterproofing and insulation
• Sturdy and resistant to damage
• Anti-slip and anti-noise
• Quick and easy to install

Some of the biggest challenges for tile installers are during exterior tile installations. These challenges include managing proper drainage and preventing damage to tiles, especially in harsh climates or areas where the temperature changes often. Due to these challenges, the paver support system was developed to make exterior installations much simpler and more successful. The paver support system is specifically designed to be used with thick porcelain tiles for exterior use and it can be used when installing outdoor tiles, patio decks, and roof terraces.
