How to lay porcelain tiles onto a concrete patio

[@suzybearheart530]

I've been looking for a way to add some curb appeal to my front yard and back patio so this is perfect. Thank you so much for sharing!

You are welcome!

Word of the day....ACTUALLY

[@eefunhuang6958]

I think using mix of cement and sand for leveling layer and do leveling together with tile installation might be easier

[@AldisoKristian]

They are showing how it needs to be done...you can do with sand/cement/slurry mix, as it's one of the ways how novadays people are doing as it's cheaper. I still do concrete base and porcelain is going with exterior tile glue.

Can I do this process over a stained concrete patio? Greetings from Los Angeles

I have laid a lot of patios before using sandstone and concrete, but I will soon be doing my first porceline patio. I like this product, but I wanted to ask, do you still have to use a SBR slurry on the back of the flags when using a tile adhesive?

[@michaelbalfour3170]

Good question, i want to know. Have you done it yet? If so did you prime the concrete, what depth was it, did you do the typical sbr slurry and did you just use external tile adhesive.

Do you have to tile 3 hours later? Or can you come back and tile any time?

[@user-xc7gb8gj6r]

Can you lays porcelain tiles over flagging ? The flags are solid, level. Could I screed over the flags then lay tiles ?

can we use the leveller over council slabs then tile with 10 mm Porceline tile ?

[@BALtiling]

It's only suitable for concrete bases I'm afraid. The council slabs would need ripping up and then a new concrete base laid for the 10mm porcelain.

@@BALtiling how deep would the concrete base need to be?

[@DR.6an6al-IRAQ]

why you grouting the tiles and the grout lines?!

[@BALtiling]

You grout the lines and fill the joints with a cement-based grout, then clean off any excess off the face of the tile

[@stuartfarrell6729]

is this available in the USA

[@tomnapper101]

would use self-leveling you with spend too much time put it down 👎 spr concrete after cleaning it then I would layer a dura base mat with a 8 m tiling trowel please try it you find it so much easyer 👍

[@garyfardon8841]

The tiles were already grouted actually.
