It’s easy to imagine yourself enjoying the beautiful weather on a dream terrace, but if you have to walk on it in all seasons, you’ll be happy to have read this article, and to have chosen a slip-resistant terrace. If on the other hand you plan to see your toddlers running around in all directions with bare feet, pay attention to the choice of materials, to avoid the risk that they walk on a splinter if it is wood.

If you pay attention to the natural side of materials, you will go to natural stone or wood. The stone comes in the form of pavers, for a chic and elegant appearance, or slabs. There are several types of natural stones, Burgundy stone with ocher or ivory tones, slate, granite or blue stone. But most quarries are no longer used in France, the stones of the trade come mostly from Brazil or China, with the harmful environmental impact that implies.

In local production, there remains only the blue stone of Hainaut in Belgium, the schist Breton or the slate of Angers. For your patio, choose a brushed, bush-hammered or streaked stone finish that will be less slippery than a polished or sandblasted finish. Slate is a very trendy terrace cladding, offered in different shades and declined in the form of large slabs, raw or polished.

Another natural option, the wood is of local origin, resulting from sustainably managed and managed forests: pine, oak, ash, acacia or acacia. It benefits from ecological treatments such as oleothermy (impregnated with oil at low temperature) or heat treatment (heat treatment) which reinforce its natural qualities and make it as resistant as tropical woods. Exotic woods are not recommended: although they are naturally rot and insensitive to fungi, their blades age, tarnish and over time tend to become gray, unless a maintenance rather expensive.

Porcelain stoneware is a champion of imitation, and there is a wide variety of materials and textures original and contemporary. Choose for a terrace cover a non-slip and textured model. Its maintenance is easy, since it does not require special treatment, just a little water and black soap. This list is not exhaustive, let’s still mention the glass coverings, retro-illuminated and non-slip, recycled rubber mulch that cushions the fall of your children, or a cover of gravel, quite simply. And then, whatever your final option, do not forget that we can still change a terrace atmosphere during the furnishing, garden furniture will give a definitive style to your terrace, which must match you at best. The use of floor mats is ideal to enrich the decor with an interesting addition of textures. It’s up to you to decide!
