Advanced Outdoor Surfaces: Engineered for the Mediterranean
At EKA Group, we offer a range of flooring options for outdoor applications to cover specific requirements. From outdoor tiles to specialized outdoor flooring systems that better suit designated outdoor spaces of a project both aesthetically but also functionally.
Specialized Outdoor Tiles (R11 & 20mm Porcelain)
Standard tiles fail outdoors. We curate a selection of 20mm porcelain stoneware and tiles with an R11 rating (anti-slip) from global leaders like Mirage, Kronos, and many more. These are temperature-resistant and completely frost-proof, slip-resistant with the feature of R11 rating, and durable / able to withstand heavy weight, making them the definitive choice for outdoor areas, such us pool surrounds, barbecue areas, terraces and so on.
Aesthetics: Stone, cement and timber replications that do not fade under high UV exposure.
Granostone: The Premium Pebble Paving System
Granostone is an architectural-grade solution where natural river pebbles are bonded to create a seamless, water-permeable, and high-durability surface.
Best For: Porches, patios, walk-paths, and luxury driveways.
Advantage: Durability and monolithic construction, which prevents problems associated with joints.
Rampcrete: Traction-Engineered Slopes
Suitable for ramps with medium to high-gradient, Rampcrete utilizes a specialized trowelling technique on situ concrete. This creates a permanent, notched texture that provides maximum vehicular and pedestrian grip, even during winter rains.
- Application: Rampcrete is usually applied for ramps with medium to high gradient where slip-resistance is required
| Industry Myth | The EKA Reality |
|---|---|
| "Dark outdoor tiles will burn your feet." | While dark colors absorb heat, our premium porcelain has a high thermal mass. When used with light-colored Granostone, surface temperatures remain significantly lower than standard asphalt or dark concrete. |
| "Any 'rough' tile is safe for pool areas." | False. Outdoor safety requires a certified R11 (DIN 51130) or Grade C (DIN 51097) rating. We specify materials specifically for "barefoot wet" areas to prevent hydroplaning and slips. |
| "Porcelain tiles crack in the summer heat." | Cracking is usually a result of poor installation or lack of expansion joints. At EKA, we provide technical guidelines for 2% slopes and flexible adhesive systems to handle the thermal expansion typical of 40°C+ Cyprus summers. |
| "Granostone is difficult to clean." | Modern Granostone is pressure-washable and UV-stable. Unlike traditional gravel, the pebbles are permanently bonded, preventing weed growth and displacement while maintaining a porous, self-draining structure. |
