I hope this doesn't upset you, but I just wanted to warn you about slippery wet tile!


I recently toured a model home that had it on their front porch & it was slightly damp out, TOTALLY SLIPPY!!! After that I never ever would consider tile..

just thought I would share.

Outdoor tile has sand mixed in it, so it is not slippery. The builder usually uses indoor tile on those model homes, so no warning needed. It will be fine.

Not to mention they probably used a sealer to make it nice and shiny!!!
Hey, let's be careful out there!

Outdoor tile or natural stone tile wouldn't be slippery. I'm looking for recommendations for someone too.
