​Easy On The Pocket and Easy On The Eye

Ceramic tiles are a great option if you need flooring for your terrace. They are available in many different colors and finishes, so you can pick whatever you want. They are very expensive, compared to other similar materials. Sure to too much light is not reflected off the floor.

​Go Natural With Clay

Clay is one of those natural materials that looks good everywhere. They provide a beautiful finish, and do not look artificial at all. Clay tiles are available in many different sizes, so no matter what area you need covered, you will have a size that works for you.

Stone slabs offer a beautiful, rustic finish that is not possible with any other material. It is an alternative to tiles and other artificial materials. However, stone slabs are a little on the expensive side and also heavier to transport and install in your home.
