What Are Some Outdoor Carpet Options for a Patio?

By Paige Cerulli Created: August, 2024

The flooring that you choose for your patio plays an important role in how the space performs. If you’re looking for a comfortable, welcoming flooring surface, you might want to consider outdoor carpet for the space.

Reasons to Choose Outdoor Carpet for Patio Spaces

Outdoor carpet is increasingly becoming a popular patio flooring choice for several reasons. Outdoor carpeting makes a great surface for patios and decks, thanks to its unique characteristics.

Comfort


Indoor outdoor carpet adds comfort to your patio. While other floor tiles can get hot and uncomfortable on warm summer days, carpet tiles don’t get so warm. They’re naturally comfortable underfoot, allowing you to walk on the patio barefoot. Since carpet adds some cushion and softness to the surface, they can make a concrete patio much more enjoyable for the whole family.

Durability


Waterproof outdoor carpet offers the durability needed for residential and commercial use. This carpeting is designed to be strong and resist fraying. Many of these products are also resistant to mold, mildew, and odors, meaning you can enjoy a long-lasting installation, even when it’s exposed to the elements.

Color Options


With outdoor carpet, you can add a distinctive look to your patios, decks, or other outdoor spaces. These tiles are available in many different colors, so you can choose a tile that complements your home decor or that reflects your personal taste.

Easy Installation


Outdoor carpet tiles are easy to install, too. A large tile covers lots of space quickly, ideal for a DIY installation. Many of these tiles either interlock together or have a peel-and-stick backing, so the installation process is quick and easy.
