Looking for a low-maintenance terrace in a new building with a child

They don't look bad either. I also came across the yamino Beton plus. It is a wood look with a ceramic layer. I find it very appealing. And it is certainly also easier to maintain than pure concrete stone.

I guess I was influenced by my subjectivity :D. I really thought it was like that, but what you say makes sense to me.

No, you're not ;)

We have porcelain stoneware here in anthracite or very dark gray, just 20 meters away my father-in-law has the same tiles except for the color. His are light beige, and while I can still comfortably walk barefoot on his, here with me it’s no longer possible because it’s too hot. I had listened beforehand to the "that only makes a 2 degree difference" talk and could bite my a**. I have a 1:1 comparison, same orientation, same sun exposure, same tiles, different color = noticeably more temperature difference!

If the sun shines on it all day, not... Larger difference only with short sun exposure. We also have lighter and darker panels. Same manufacturer/model/thickness/dimensions/surface. Can measure with the thermometer in summer.

So we have now decided on this Betonplus variant from Kann. Ceramic on top, concrete underneath. Since laying in a gravel bed is included in the price, we only have to pay the extra cost for the slabs.

But maybe a fundamental question about that once more. The plan is a variant in a lighter wood look. How or with what could the terrace be nicely and suitably bordered?

Since our plot is only 8 meters deep and 10 meters wide from the terrace door, we have also thought about the ideal size of the terrace. Currently planned is 3.20 x 6.00 meters. More terrace is certainly better, but then even more of the already scarce lawn will be lost. What are your experiences with that?

Thanks again

You will be annoyed when you want to sit and can't walk around the table every time. I wouldn’t go below 4 meters. Because of the curbstones, are there no suitable ones? Or at least brochures showing how they solved it in the exhibition.

The thread is quite old but hoping you still check here: How satisfied are you with the slabs? We are leaning towards the Betonplus Yamino in beige-mottled. Do you have problems with wobbly slabs? How was the joint executed for you? How do you manage with the terrace depth of 3.20 meters in everyday life? If not too much to ask - could you show a photo of the terrace?
