Porcelain tiles and flooring for indoor and outdoor spaces

The continuity between interior and exterior is created by choosing a single collection for both spaces. 

Effect and format are two central elements: using the same materiality, tones, and proportions allows you to perceive rooms as part of a wider, coordinated surface, enhancing the connection between the living area, terraces, verandas, and other outdoor spaces.

Porcelain stoneware is the ideal material to achieve real continuity between indoors and outdoors: it resists wear, scratches, and water, is frost-proof, and maintains its appearance over time in every room, from the living room to the terrace. 

This continuity is possible thanks to the availability of Marazzi collections in two versions with the same aesthetic result. What changes are the technical characteristics of the surface, tailored to the specific requirements of indoor and outdoor spaces to always guarantee high performance and efficiency.

For interiors and many outdoor applications, traditional thickness porcelain can be used. The 20 mm thickness comes into play in outdoor spaces when the project has specific needs, for example for certain types of raised installation, dry installation, or for drive-over areas.

The surface must also be selected according to the space: in interiors, comfort and easy maintenance are key, while for walkable exterior floors, slip resistance is particularly important. Outdoor surfaces are thus designed to offer greater grip and, in dedicated solutions, combine safety and ease of cleaning.

The formats also directly affect the perception of continuity, as they offer different design possibilities and can be chosen based on the size of rooms, the configuration of spaces, and the desired effect between inside and outside. 

The reduction of joints thanks to larger formats, for example, allows the eye to move more fluidly from one space to another, reinforcing the idea of a single surface between indoor and outdoor.

The reduced visual impact of joints makes the surface more uniform and gives the impression of larger spaces. The large formats therefore accentuate the continuity between interiors and exteriors, maintaining a coherent aesthetic language.

Mystone Tivoli, for example, interprets the stone effect with realistic graphics and strong material presence, suitable for projects that extend from interiors to outdoor spaces. Allmarble brings the brightness and veining of the marble effect to large, refined surfaces, while Cementum offers a concrete effect with a compact, contemporary look, ideal for creating a visually uniform flooring between different rooms.

The wood effect too, with collections like Vivo, allows you to maintain a sense of warmth and material continuity, extending the same design language from interiors to exteriors.

Stone-effect porcelain is particularly suitable for creating a natural link between interior and exterior. Its materiality characterizes home spaces and can be extended to terraces, verandas, and other outdoor areas, maintaining a consistent and authentic aesthetic appearance.

Collections like Mystone Pietra di Sicilia and Mystone Pietra Ligure interpret different stone inspirations, offering coordinated solutions for projects where the surface visually links the transition between spaces.

Essential and versatile, concrete-effect porcelain allows you to create surfaces with a contemporary character, able to connect modern interiors and outdoor spaces. Neutral tones and material textures result in a uniform finish, particularly suitable for architecture with a clean and minimalist look.

Collections like Slow Cold allow you to develop this style from one space to another, maintaining chromatic and material consistency.

Wood-effect porcelain brings the visual warmth and typical grain of natural material to spaces, combined with the resistance of porcelain stoneware. This inspiration can accompany the project from interiors to outdoor spaces, creating a welcoming and harmonious connection between the home and garden.

The Vero collection offers different wood interpretations to define coordinated surfaces and maintain material continuity between rooms.

Marble-effect porcelain especially enhances continuity between interior spaces, where veins, colors, and surfaces can be coordinated between floor and wall to create a refined and harmonious project.

Allmarble is a marble-effect collection that can be installed with continuity between interior spaces and outdoor spaces. Its aesthetic is suitable for a wide range of projects and meets different tastes, thanks to the great variety of marble inspirations it offers. From Calacatta to Statuario, from Emperador marble to Capraia, up to the most popular onyx-effect colors and mosaic compositions: Allmarble includes shades of white, grey, beige, brown, green, blue, and black, shaping a timeless beauty.

Porcelain stoneware collections for interiors and exteriors allow you to develop a coordinated project starting from the floor of interior spaces and extend it to terraces, balconies, verandas, porches, stairs, walkways and, when slip resistance requirements are met, pool edges. 

When the flooring continues outdoors, the same aesthetic identity can be maintained by choosing the outdoor version of the collection, with a surface suitable for different usage conditions and which allows even outdoor spaces to be included in the same design language.

In the presence of specific technical requirements, installation also contributes to choosing the best solution. For terraces and other outdoor spaces, you can consider, for example, the raised floor: thickness can be either traditional or Extra Thick (as in the case of 20 mm thick porcelain), but the choice depends on the project.

It is not possible to use the same tile, but many Marazzi collections are available in two technical versions. The graphics, colors, and finish remain identical, while the technical characteristics such as adhesion and surface change.

Outdoor surfaces can be available in both traditional thickness and Extra Thick 20 mm versions. Traditional thickness is suitable for various exterior applications and is used in Indoor & Outdoor collections, while the 20 mm is used when the project requires specific performance or installation methods, such as, for example, drive-over areas.
