When choosing outdoor tiles for your home or business, you’ll have plenty of colors to pick from. Grey tiles are particularly popular, thanks to their multiple benefits.

What Are the Advantages of Grey Outdoor Tiles?

If you’re still undecided about which color outdoor tile is best, you might want to consider grey. Grey outdoor tiles offer several distinct benefits.

The first is that grey tiles - particularly light grey - stay cooler than dark tiles. The lighter grey absorbs less heat from the sun, so it stays cooler and more comfortable underfoot.

Grey tiles also make a natural addition to many spaces. Resembling slate or stone, they can make your deck or patio feel like a natural element in your yard.

Grey is a neutral color that offers you plenty of decorating opportunities. It goes well with almost any color of house siding or patio furniture, so you don’t have to worry too much about matching shades and colors.

If you’re undecided about what your decor scheme will be, grey tiles give you flexibility. You don’t have to design your decor around the tile color, and can experiment and redecorate without being restricted by your patio or deck.
