Now, more than ever, home is a place of comfort, tranquility … and entertainment. More square footage outside means more functional space for enjoying family and friends, so making the right surface selection is key. Look for a material that’s equal parts practical—slip- and weather-resistant, durable, easy to maintain—and aesthetically pleasing. Too often, homeowners assume performance must come at the expense of style. Not so, says Lindsey Waldrep, vice president of marketing for Crossville, curator of exterior-ready porcelain solutions for luxury homes.

For Good Surface Conditions
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Beautiful, functional and sustainable, porcelain may not be the first material that comes to mind when choosing outdoor flooring, but look beyond the surface, and it surprises with a slew of functional benefits and great style. Lasting and durable, Crossville’s Owen Stone and Portugal outdoor collections are easy to clean with simple water, but they don’t absorb much of it, so they won’t crack due to freezing and thawing, and never need to be sealed. No water retention means mold and mildew won’t be issues either. Crossville also gives its exterior-ready porcelain the added perk of slip-resistance thanks to finishes that provide for safe traversing when exposed to the elements.
SOLID FOUNDATION
In addition to porcelain tile, Crossville manufactures and sources ceramic tile, natural stone and glass tile for indoor and outdoor use—walkways to paneling, countertops to flooring, and more. All the family-owned company’s products are manufactured in the U.S. from its home base in Crossville, Tennessee—a value-add for builders, designers and contractors looking to keep projects on time and on budget. With Crossville’s exterior-ready porcelain, kitchens, porches, patios and pool areas are being converted into spaces that bridge the indoor-outdoor gap, beautifully.
