Advice for front porch tiles

4 years ago

We are slowly updating our 90's brick home, and need to decide on tiles for the porch. I'm thinking some sort of black and white patterned encaustic, classic but not too busy. Our green hedge was completely pulled out last week and replanted, so things are looking very bare at the moment mid winter. Manchurian pears will at least bloom and add some green in spring. And the bins need to be take out back!

Any suggestions?

I think black and white would look good. Have you got a photo of tiles similar to what you are considering?

You have a wonderful looking home. Encaustic tiles would look great. There is quite a bit of area to cover, so you would want to be sure of the design your after. But it definitely will be a WOW factor, when completed.

Thanks everyone for your input. I’ve not been able to figure out if I can respond directly to specific comments. Yes, I agree that the neighbour’s fan is out of proportion (too reduced in size) and so they do look odd next to each other. I highly doubt that the original tiles are anywhere to be found - we would need to reinstate these. Thank you for the kind offer to see what your neighbours have done. At this point I think it’s a case of getting a quote and taking it from there. Depending on the cost it may be hard to justify given it’s purely aesthetical - probably the reason that I can’t find any examples!

Most of the planning info you require you can find at your councils Planning Portal online. I personally prefer the look of a pitched roof, and I think a roof in the design of your last picture would suit your house very well.

Personally, I would go for ss plain tile, as the house has lots of nice design features. Patterns may end up looking too busy.
