Re-tile a front porch

Our front porch has broken tile and needs replacing. I am looking for what to use now as the house was built in 1976. We now have the red broken style tile.

Actually you can put in anything you want, as long as the surface in rough enough to keep you from slipping when it is wet with rain or snow.... be sure that all the previous tile and thin-set has been removed
There are quite a few options for tile. You could use ceramic, porcelain, natural stone or rubber floor tiles. Make sure that you use something that's made for a bathroom so they're nonslip.

To do the job right, you need to take off the old tile first. Then, here are some ideas for you to choose from.

Slate would be beautiful.
you can find tile that looks like wood now that you could use on your front porch
