Transforming Balconies and Conservatories with Ceramics

Balconies, terraces, verandas and conservatories are places to pause and breathe, keeping us connected with the outdoors at home. With the right preparation, they can become rooms you enjoy spending time in not only in summer but also in winter. First, establish why you need this change. Are you dreaming of a peaceful corner in which to relax? Do you want to extend the kitchen outdoors and add a dining area? Will you create a place to sunbathe? Or perhaps you are planning lively barbecue parties? Whatever the case, having a plan will make decisions quicker.

Consider the weather when deciding on the layout: how often it rains, the number of sunny days, the angle of the sun and the intensity of the light. Knowing these in advance allows you to design an outdoor room that is partly open or can be opened and closed.Before tiling the walls and floors, prepare your plan with chimney openings for additions such as a fireplace or pizza oven, drainage and waterproofing for terraces and balconies, electrical outlets, underfloor heating for verandas and conservatories, and even trees and plants that cannot be moved all taken into account.

Once you have chosen a theme, pay particular attention to balancing tile sizes with the size of your space when selecting flooring. Large-format tiles may suit a spacious veranda, while smaller, light-coloured tiles can make a small balcony feel larger.There are many advantages to using ceramic or porcelain tiles on outdoor floors. Porcelain tiles in particular withstand weather and heavy foot traffic, do not scratch easily and do not fade. Ceramics are unaffected by climatic conditions and resist water. However sudden the temperature change, they do not crack or change colour. Alongside all this, ceramic and porcelain tile design and production technologies make it possible to achieve any natural look you want on your outdoor floors: granite, limestone, wood, exposed concrete or marble.

Retro and vintage ceramic tiles reflect the warmth of the Mediterranean spirit and are perfect for creating inviting outdoor atmospheres. Combine geometric patterns with minimalist furniture, or choose botanical motifs for a rustic look. If you cannot decide on a pattern, try patchwork arrangements using different designs on the floor.

Bring the unique beauty of ancient Rome, adorned with natural stone, to your outdoor spaces. If the floor has suitable waterproofing, why not fill the joints with pebbles or grass for a more natural look? We recommend Kalebodur's Heraklia series, which captures the magic of natural stone.

If you are looking for a floor that will keep your enclosed balcony or conservatory warm, consider underfloor heating systems that can be used beneath any type of floor covering.
