But if you compare both of them, your exterior tiles should be tougher and more durable. It’s because they would be more vulnerable to traffic and damage.

o   Grout and expansion joints — When you are installing the tiles in your property, ensure to pay a close attention to the grout and expansion joints of both the interior and exterior tiles. The grout material you are using in your exteriors is comparatively thick and should be especially made with cement and premixed grout. While for the interiors, there are different materials which may not be that long-lasting. And you have to even consider the expansion of the tiles because of the weather exposure when you are picking the one for the exteriors.

o   Texture of the tiles — Some tiles turn slippery when they come in contact with even a little bit of water or moisture. Obviously, such tiles are unsuitable for the exteriors. But for interiors, they can be accepted. The rough textured tiles which are skid resistant are more preferred for the exterior side of your home rather than your interiors.

o   Glaze and presentation — A glazed tile with shiny and smooth finish looks captivating and attractive in your indoors. It adds a touch of royalty and beauty here. Naturally, such a glazed shine of the tile won’t last long in your exteriors.
