    Installing quarry tiles outside

    What is the best way to install 150mm x 150mm x 20mm quarry tiles for an exterior path? Is it best to use a cured concrete slab over hardcore base plus exterior adhesive/grout, or would a semi dry sand/cement mix over a hardcore base work OK?

    I need some advice on which adhesive to use and the thickness of adhesive bed required. I want to lay 400 x 600 20mm porcelain tiles onto some concrete steps I have made outside.
