ᐅ Ceramic or Concrete Patio Pavers?

I am trying to decide whether to build my new terrace with concrete or ceramic tiles.

At the hardware store, good-quality concrete tiles cost about 35-40 €/sqm (3.25-3.70 $/sqft). I also found some ceramic tiles for nearly 60 €/sqm (5.60 $/sqft). They are hollow inside and have holes on the sides.

There is quite a price difference. I wonder if it is justified and if the ceramic tiles offer any advantages. So far, I’ve only heard that they are easier to clean. Are there other benefits? How about durability—do ceramic tiles last longer?

It is clear that wood fits well with nature. However, I personally also like natural stone, and it looks appealing too.

A concrete terrace is an option for me. My favorite is natural stone, but it needs to be slip-resistant. Wood is also a good option, although it requires more maintenance. But in that case, it’s nature meeting nature.

Wood is certainly nice and fits well with nature. However, it requires more maintenance. This is why I avoid using wood on the terrace. Instead, I installed ceramic floor tiles on our terrace. I think it looks good as well.
