An overview of outdoor tiling trends and products at the Tile Depot for 2025 - 26.
5 Porcelain Pavers
2cm porcelain pavers are a fantastic solution for a wide range of exterior hardscaping. These durable tiles can be dry laid on sand, gravel, or grass, installed on deck jacks, or adhered to solid surfaces — making them versatile, beautiful, and practical.
19 Outdoor Antislip Tiles
Our outdoor antislip collection includes glazed porcelain tiles designed specifically for exterior use, as well as Microgrip tiles that can be laid both indoors and out. Outdoor only tiles have a rough texture for grip, while Microgrip tiles are smooth to the touch but still meet safety requirements for exterior use. Both must be adhered to a solid surface.
33 Pool Tiles
Tiles suitable for swimming pool interiors — many of which are also perfect for bathroom and laundry walls. With an ever-expanding array of patterns and finishes, pool tiles now offer more design freedom than ever for creating a truly bespoke pool.
Welcome to Tile Depot’s 2025 Lookbook – The Exterior Edition!
We’re thrilled to introduce our first-ever dedicated exterior tile lookbook — a celebration of outdoor living and the incredible growth of our exterior tile range. Over the years, our collection has expanded to include a stunning variety of glazed porcelain tiles that bring the same beauty, texture, and attention to detail found in our interior ranges, now reimagined for the outdoors.
Whether you’re designing a serene pool interior or coping edge, updating a tired patio, creating alfresco entertaining zones, or shaping elegant garden pathways, the Tile Depot has the perfect solution. From intricate mosaics to robust 2cm-thick porcelain pavers, this collection is designed to help you transform outdoor spaces into places of style, function, and connection.
Our 2cm porcelain pavers combine the enduring strength of porcelain with the flexibility to suit a wide range of installations — laid over grass, gravel, sand, or deck jacks, or adhered directly to a solid surface. These pavers are built to handle New Zealand’s outdoor conditions with ease — weather, stain, and chemical resistant — making them ideal for decks, pool surrounds, stairs, patios, pathways, and even driveways. Plus, they’re a breeze to clean with a simple sweep or water blast.
Our range of outdoor anti-slip porcelain tiles, like the 2cm porclein pavers, also offer both safety and style, but must be adhered to a solid substrate, and are ideal for patios, steps, and entryways where slip resistance is essential. Designed to withstand the elements while maintaining their surface integrity and grip, they provide peace of mind without compromising on aesthetics.
Swimming pool interiors are another area where design and durability must go hand in hand. At the Tile Depot, we offer a diverse selection of pool-safe tiles in a broad range of colours, textures, and designs — from tranquil blues and greens to contemporary neutrals and bold colourful statements. Whether you’re after a tropical resort vibe or a sleek modern finish, our pool tiles bring beauty and function together to create inviting aquatic spaces.
Don’t forget to check out our Lookbook – Interior Edition for inspiration across every room inside your home, featuring stunning tiles for floors and walls.
And remember, the Tile Depot is more than just tiles! We also offer a stylish selection of floating flooring, tapware, and bathware to complete your dream spaces inside and out.
