Perth Indoor-Outdoor Tiling and Limestone Considerations
Perth's popularity for seamless indoor-outdoor tiling across limestone-based slabs means tilers must ensure substrate preparation accounts for Perth's soft limestone movement. Travertine and natural stone tiles are popular in Perth's luxury market but require sealing and specific grout to resist Perth's hot dry summers. Anti-slip ratings for outdoor pool surrounds and alfresco areas are essential, R11 or higher for barefoot wet areas is the Australian standard. demirs.wa.gov.au
