Verona Al Fresco Tiles Will Help Transform Your Garden.

With the last year, we have been spending a lot more time in our gardens. So of course, we want our garden to be the oasis and escape we need, especially as we can’t travel as freely as we once could.

Gardening has become a big trend, so we were excited when Verona got in touch with us to offer us some of their Al Fresco Tile Range to turn our garden from Drab to Fab! Of course, we jumped at the chance. Who are Verona? Well they are a company that has grown to become the UK’s largest distributor of tiles and mosaics in natural stone, porcelain, ceramic, and glass. The company is based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, and supplies independent and multiple retailers nationwide, offering a broad portfolio of products influenced by the latest design, fashion, and interiors trends to ensure a collection suited to all tastes. They’ve got you covered whether you’re interested in creating a walled garden, a patio extension or an outdoor seating area.

They do specialise in Porcelain tiles. Why are Porcelain tiles so good? Well they are the perfect surface covering for creating an easy to maintain living space and personal. There are several gorgeous colour and styles of tiles from Al Fresco from cool silver tones, greys, or warm, sun-kissed neutrals. There are made from premium porcelain and these new designs are perfectly suited to homeowners who want to extend their interior style to the outdoors, seamlessly flowing from the kitchen through to the patio with a mix of 20mm thick premium porcelain for outdoor and a selection of co-ordinating indoor tiles.

We were sent the gorgeous Welford Geometric tile in Anthracite and Grey. The tiles’ dimensions are 60x60x2cm format. It was an easy process to install the tiles in the garden following the helpful tips on their website and YouTube videos.

Katy Black, marketing director at Verona, explains: “The waywhich we approach our outdoor living spaces has changed dramatically, especially over these last 12 months. We all now appreciate this space much more and want to invest time and money into creating something special. With more time spent at home, having a restful space where you can enjoy me time or communal area where you can entertain is now a priority.

“Porcelain is a go-to material for outdoor spaces as it’s aesthetically stunning, but it’s also low maintenance. Practicality is so important outdoors, with more of us wantingto enjoy our space without worrying about the hassle of jet washing and regularly treating patios.”

Hard wearing and practical, all Al Fresco outdoor tiles comewith a 10-year guarantee. The outdoor tiles provide an R11 slip rating for added safety underfoot and are simple to install on grass and gravel thanks to their uniform thickness and straight edges. Fade resistant, outdoor porcelain will retain its good looks for years to come with no sealing or special maintenance needed and is easy to upkeep with just a brushand warm soapy water. The tiles are resistant to algae and moss, and are frost proof, so you can rest assured they won’t crack during winter months.

Prices start from £28/sqm for indoor tiles and£56/sqm for outdoor tiles.
