Editor’s Choice Valverdi Indoor-Out Designed to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, Valverdi Indoor-Out is a range of co-ordinating porcelain tiles. Each internal tile has a corresponding slip resistant 20mm thick tile to enhance the flow from indoors to outside, making them ideal for use with bi-fold, sliding or French doors to connect kitchens or living rooms to patios and terraces and maximise entertaining space. From traditional to contemporary styles, Valverdi tiles are available in a range of stylish finishes including wood, stone and cement effect. The tiles will continue to look fantastic for many years thanks to their hard-wearing and colourfast vitrified material. All Valverdi tiles are rectified, which gives them sharp & straight edges allowing you to create slimline grout joints for a sleek look. They are also frost proof, stain resistant and are unlikely to be affected by moss or mould – making them extremely low maintenance. Choose from natural-inspired finishes like wood and stone effect or opt for something contemporary such as large format cement effect slabs. Valverdi Indoor-Out products are in stock in Hampshire and available for delivery throughout the UK. For more information visit Valverdi.co.uk or call 0333 222 4024.
