A terrace floor that feels like heaven to bare feet

How to choose your terrace floor?

From the moment the weather is nice, we want to escape outdoors. After winter hibernation inside your home, it is time to enjoy the open air again. And no better place to enjoy some fresh air, soak up the sun and feel a breeze through your hair than your terrace. But how do you make your terrace the perfect place to linger and to entertain guests?

There are a number of technical considerations when choosing the type of terrace floor:

Durability: your terrace should stand the test of time and especially withstand the weather conditions, as it will be exposed to the elements day and night for years on end. Safety: imagine your kids playing or granny visiting, you don’t want a slippery puddle of water, sharp edges or spikey splinters create health hazards for anyone. Maintenance: you most likely don’t want to spend a lot of time keeping up your terrace, such as repainting, staining and cleaning. It should be easy-maintenance. Ease of installation: it is worth considering easy terrace systems. You can then easily install it yourself, or if you ask a professional, installation will be quick (and cheaper).

Don’t forget about the look and feel

But there is more than only technical aspects. As your terrace will be one of your living spaces, it also needs to look great and feel nice. The choice of flooring will determine how creative you can be in the design of your terrace. But also imagine your terrace after a number of years. Some materials age better than others, whereas others would require lots of care to keep them looking good.

As for the feeling, you can take that literally. How does it feel to walk barefoot on your terrace on a summer day? But also consider the kids playing on the terrace floor. And what about your pets? They also want to keep you company on your terrace, provided the floor offers a pleasant space for them.

Fibre-cement terrace planks tick all the boxes

The novel Cedral Terrace planks are made of fibre cement, a smartly engineered composite material that fulfils all your criteria. Thanks to the mix of fibres and cement, the planks are super durable and easy-maintenance, guaranteeing you outdoor enjoyment for years on end. They age beautifully, gaining a stylish patina over time. The different widths and resistant factory-applied colours give you many versatile design options. And Cedral Terrace is easy to install yourself.

Cedral Terrace is also a safe choice, as it does not splinter or chip. And because of the unique surface design, the terrace planks don’t only feel pleasant, they also don’t become slippery when wet.

Go for a good feeling, literally

At Cedral, we attach particular importance to the feeling of your terrace. As your terrace is an extra living space of your home, you want to be comfortable when using it. It should be a pleasure to walk on it barefoot, so you don’t have to care about putting shoes or slippers on. But also your children should be able to sit, crawl, roll and play carefree on your terrace. This feeling also contributes to the comfort and cosy atmosphere on your terrace.

Thanks to a unique mechanical production process, Cedral created a pleasant soft-touch surface for its terrace planks. The innovative surface texture makes your terrace feel like silky textile, yet combining it with the strength of stone. However, Cedral Terrace has the advantage that it is warm to the touch, and not cold as stone. So even in your swimming gear, you can comfortably sit or lie on Cedral Terrace, next to your (inflatable) pool.
