That's true. Be sure, though, to check the date of the threads that you are reading. Some are years old, and circumstances may have changed since then. Many new posters forget to check the dates of the first posts on threads. The newer the thread, the more reliable the information.

Just a suggestion.

I saw some ceramic tile laid outside of a show room of Floor Masters. I spoke with them and they said it holds up well outdoors. They use a special grout when they install it outside. They had some that looked like weathered barn siding. I think it would look different then the usual. I've painted the floor twice now in ten years and the sun just eats the paint very quickly.

Good point to consider, CFrance !

We had Chattahoochee River rock installed on our screened in lanai last summer. Mid State Stone in Summerfield did it and it looks fabulous. We chose it because of some friends who live up near Tierra Del Sol country club who had theirs put in nearly 20 years ago and it still looks new. It's not slippery when wet, feels good to walk barefoot, and the dogs seem to like lying on it.

That's true, I forgot to mention that. Our tile is under roof, but still they used a weatherproof grout. We had many cracks in our concrete lanai floor. Warranty agreed to skim coat it and paint it, but we were afraid of further cracking, and they were going to charge us $200 to do that. We wanted a more permanent solution. The painting without skim coating would not have covered the cracks.

There are so many options, and they all look good. I love our tile, but the Chatahoochie river rock is really pretty.

Mid State Stone / Mike Reimer 352-245-1990 or Chattahoochee RiverRock / Matt Allums 352-253-0622. Highly recommend the flooring and I suggest you get an estimate from both installers.

I would not recommend "Trex" brand. I have a deck with Trex and it mildews. There are other brand planks, such as Veranda that don't have that problem. Whether it is suitable for a lanai I couldn't say.

Matt Allums is the person who did our river rock. He did both the lanai and the outside pad (ours is over sized being on a corner lot). Very happy.

Who did your tiling? What was the cost? Longman@comcast.net

Our tiling was done by a private individual working on the side (works for a TV contractor). He tiled our living/dining area to match the kitchen, entry & baths for $2500. He tiled the lanai for $1100. He did an excellent job on both. But then he skipped out on us after doing a very poor job, and not finishing it, bricking our front walk. Halfway through the job, we paid him the rest of the cost of the job (I know, I KNOW! But he had been so trustworthy, and it was only $300.) So I would not recommend him. His name is Marco, and if he is reading this or you know him, he owes us $.

I will not turn him in to Srs. vs. Crime because he is a very nice man with a family to support, and I really think he skipped because he knew he screwed up the brick job. It's being redone tomorrow from scratch for $900 by a company highly recommended on this forum.
