patio tiles
Terrace surface squares
Patio tiles are flat pieces of stone, ceramic, concrete, or similar material used to surface outdoor living spaces.
They're laid in patterns to create a durable, weather-resistant floor for patios, walkways, and pool decks: We spent the weekend installing patio tiles.
The term distinguishes outdoor-rated tiles from interior flooring.
