Patio Tiles

[Oxo01]

Any opinions please
Im sick of looking at tiles for patio area.
I had narrowed it down to these two but unsure which ones if any to choose from.

I like both but did like the darker ones a tiny bit more but then saw the other ones now not sure.
Pic1 They are not dark black and are 600x900
Pic 2 The lighter ones are 900x900 I think

I wouldn't pick grey ones 😅 but if you must - lighter so they reflect more sunlight and don't get too hot.

I know i wasn't looking for grey but honestly i didnt like many others
I had seen. So thought maybe the darker ones may be ok as it is blackish with more grey in 😆

I really wouldn't go for anything remotely black, unless you and your pets never go out barefoot or it's always under 20 degrees where you live!

Have you checked how grippy they are when wet?

Yes they are grippy ok for outside

Due to them becoming hot ?
I dont go bare foot but yes have a cat.

Correct. You don't want toasted cat toes.

The lighter ones are very similar to ours although ours are 600x600. Work fine and look ok.

With hindsight I wish we had not gone for porcelain and instead stayed with stone but that is entirely my personal choice.

Its all done now I went for the lighter bigger ones with resin daker grout.

Just glad it's done as my whole garden has been a complete mess and dangerous for ages due to very old decking which had large holes and some would raise up like walking the plank on a ship.

Don't get me started on the grout!🤬

Our people used the brush-in resin grout but didn't compact it so within weeks it was discoloured and a few months it was falling out.
My OH raked it all out and then we had Flowpoint grout installed, far better.👍

God
My friends discolured in a short space of time, she said hers was sand based ( or something like that) but she got them back to do it again.
Fingers crossed mine will be ok
