Inside Out: Creating a Seamless Flow Between Your Home & Garden

So the in-out concept, the in-out concept is matching your internal tiles to your external paving.

There's a lot of different finishes, textures, surfaces that we'll go into, but the concept of in and out when we speak about it is having a flow from your internal tiles to your external tiles, completely matching on colorways.

So first, if you just want to run us through the finishes and the difference between your internal and your external, even though they look exactly the same on the surface.

Yeah.

Well, that's the thing.

They do look exactly the same.

Um, from your inside tiles, so you've got whatever tile you choose in a, what is called an R9 rated surface, so.

I'll explain that after.

Yeah.

So you've got the, the same tile with the external tile with an R11 finish for the exterior.

And like you say, you can go into the whys that is and what that means, if you like.

Yeah.

So for the ramp, for an R rating, it is basically for a ramp test.

So you start with a R9, which is good and suitable for internal residential applications.

And then you have R10, which is slightly more slip-resistant.

And then you have R11, R12, and R13.

So R9 is, I would say, the smoothest anti-slip finish-

Yeah

... surface.

Inside, you don't want it to be too rough unless you have the need in a bathroom for super anti-slip for different needs.

R9's great for, it still is anti-slip, however it's great for cleaning and just general maintenance in the house.

If it was to be in a commercial building, you probably would look at more R10, even going up to R11, depending on the traffic.

Mm-hmm.

Externally, we would always have a minimum of R11.

That means that it's, it's sound for outside.
