Best methods to install 2cm Outdoor Tiles

When it comes to laying your outdoor tiles there are a few options, we are going to explain the methods we recommend most based on the best finish ensuring your outdoor space is as luxurious as it can be.

Laying on a Cement Base

If you're looking for a neat and attractive finish to your patio or driveway, rectified porcelain paving with Internal Tiling method may be ideal.

This technique requires that the concrete base is fully cured before starting; expansion joints should also be added in appropriate places. A narrow joint between each piece of paver gives an almost seamless appearance when tiled correctly.

To ensure even surface levels are achieved it's best practice to add falls so rainwater can drain away more easily - use a polymer-modified cement-based adhesive.
