Country Classic terrace tile 40 × 60 cmtravertine on Curaçao

Country Classic terrace tile 40 × 60 cm is 3 cm thick and tumbled: made to be laid outdoors in sand-cement or on crushed stone, without a concrete slab. Ideal around the pool, on the terrace, as a garden path or a driveway for light traffic. The open structure keeps the tile cool in the sun; the tumbled edges give grip, even wet.

Installation: a compacted crushed-stone base (10–15 cm), a sand-cement bed of about 5 cm, a 1–2% fall away from the house and pool, joints of 5–10 mm with jointing sand or a permeable jointing mortar. Allow 10% cutting waste (15% for French pattern).

Care: seal once cured and then yearly, preferably before the rainy season. Rinse off salt and sunscreen with water; remove algae with a natural stone cleaner. Combine with pool coping in the same colour for one continuous surface.
