Tile for out door lanai
I am getting ready to tile the floor in our lanai. It is a residential Lanai with nothing but screen so it is exposed to rain and it does get damp and sometimes puddles. I can deal with the puddles with weep holes in the screen frame and the floor has a proper pitch so it drains that won't be an issue.
My question is what tile is good. I have seen tile that I like the looks of at the big box stores that can be about $.70/ square foot. It is ceramic. Has anybody used this less expensive tile in an out door situation? What is the reason for such a cost difference? Some ceramics can be twice that.
I wouldn't think of the floor outlets in TV. They are easily $2.00/sq ft just for the tile. There is one deep discount place in Ocala but the selections were limited. As long as I am on that subject who has tile at a bargain within $50 miles of TV.
