Leading distributor Verona has recently launched their new and exclusive Al Fresco range featuring 10mm tiles for indoor use and 20mm tiles for outdoor use to create seamless open plan living spaces. 

Inspired by British garden design, Al Fresco tiles offer a stylish alternative to stone or concrete flagstones and the wood effect ranges recreate the look of high-end timber decking but with many added benefits such as good slip resistance. Hard wearing and practical, these tiles have a 10 year guarantee, are simple to install and require no sealing - the perfect way to create a durable and low maintenance living space. 

There are many different ways to install Al Fresco tiles. Installing a patio is simple and very similar to that of stone or concrete. A layer of priming slurry applied between the mortar and tile is all you need to create a clean and stable surface. 

The Al Fresco pedestal system is a great way to create a patio without the need for lots of equipment. Pedestals allow for drainage and you can easily hide cables and equipment underneath. As the tiles are not fixed with adhesive, you can easily move them around if you change your mind. The pedestal system can be laid over any solid surface such as patios, concrete or balconies, and the unique design of the pedestals allows them to self-level when placed on a surface that is slightly sloped creating a perfectly even finish every time. 

Create pathways and patterns in grass or gravel by loose laying Al Fresco tiles. If your surface is already solid and level, Al Fresco tiles can be placed in a variety of patterns and layouts. If your ground is soft, a lined well filled with gravel is all it takes to create a stable surface.

With a little design know-how and creative inspiration, even the smallest space can become a peaceful retreat or a functional entertaining area. By playing with different textures, colours and patterns it’s easy to create beautiful statement floors. By blending indoor and outdoor spaces, Verona are not only changing the way people live, but also transforming the idea of home.
