Outdoor tiles can be divided into the floor and wall tiles categories. Although the wall tiles are not generally produced to bear weight due to their purpose of use, the floor tiles, however, have to be designed and manufactured to be weight-bearing and handle heavy loads. In addition, outdoor tiles must be designed to resist adverse weather conditions such as rain snow and frost as well as extreme heat throughout the summer months.
