Kota Stone for Outdoor Flooring
Updated 2026-11-14
Which Kota finishes and thicknesses work for courtyards, pathways, terraces and driveways.
Choose a grip finish
Rough, natural, anti-skid and hand-dressed finishes are preferred outdoors. Polished Kota becomes slippery when wet and is not advised for open areas.
Thickness outdoors
Pathways and terraces commonly use 25 mm or more. Driveways and areas with vehicles need thicker stone and a strong concrete base.
Sun, rain and drainage
Kota stays relatively cool under sun. Always give the floor a slope so water does not stand. Expect some weathering of colour over time, which is natural.
