What type of tile is best for a 6x8 front porch upgrade?

Question

I have a 6x8' concrete slab front partially covered porch that I want to tile. What is the best product that will weather be an easy DNY project? I like slate but I would rather have a "state look" so the tiles will be smooth to walk on and durable.

Answer 1

Try the links below...all have outdoor tiles.

Answer 2

Any PORCELAIN "slate look" tile from Lowe's will work. Prices range from $1.18 sq ft & up. With your area size your probably looking at an hour or so of work.

The procelain is frost proof and has the proper rating for exterior. Its glazed so no maintainance.
