Monday 16th September 2024

As outdoor living spaces become an essential extension of the home, swimming pools and the areas around them are evolving into luxurious and functional retreats. The right choice of external pavers and bullnose tiles can transform your pool area into a stylish and inviting environment. 


 
In 2024, pool paving tile trends are all about combining aesthetic appeal with functionality, sustainability, and safety. Here, we explore the top outdoor tile paver and bullnose trends for your pool and outdoor areas, that are set to dominate the scene this year.

Bullnose and external pavers offer a timeless and luxurious look that blends seamlessly with various outdoor styles, from Mediterranean to modern minimalist.

Porcelain Tile Pavers: Sleek, Modern, and Low Maintenance

Porcelain tile pavers are making waves in 2024 as a go-to option for poolside areas due to their sleek appearance and minimal upkeep. Unlike natural stone, porcelain is manufactured and can be designed to mimic the appearance of stone, concrete or wood, while providing superior performance. The aesthetic appeal of the unique veining and colour variations provide a one-of-a-kind look.
 


Why choose porcelain tile Pavers?
- Slip-Resistance: Most porcelain tile pavers are designed with a P5 slip-resistance rating in mind, which is crucial for safety around pools and spas.
- Low Maintenance: Porcelain is resistant to stains, water absorption, and algae growth, making it easy to clean and maintain.
- Variety of Styles: With an endless range of colours, patterns, and finishes, porcelain external pavers can suit any design aesthetic, whether you’re aiming for a contemporary look or a more traditional style.  click here to view our outdoor pavers range.

Bullnose Complement: Porcelain bullnose tiles are a favourite for pool coping because they provide a smooth, clean edge that complements the surrounding pavers, creating a seamless transition from outdoor area to pool. The smooth, rounded finish or pencil edge finish of bullnose tiles, gives the pool area a polished, cohesive look. click here to view our bullnose range
 



Larger Format Tiles: Creating a Seamless Flow
