Hi Guys

I'm a newbie, so please be gentle .... hope you can give me a little guidance.

I am going to have a lot of ceramic floor tiles left over from my kitchen floor project, just enough to possibly use in a small outbuilding that I have. It's a brick built construction, very dry, with a smooth concrete floor. The floor is approx 10inches deep.

My question, can I use my leftover ceramic tiles in the outbuilding.
Have searched the forums and googled, and all I can find is information regarding frost rated tiles for use outdoors ... can't find any info about installation in an outbuilding. Hence, i'm not sure how much of an issue the frost aspect really is.

Unfortunately, I don't know the frost rating on the tiles (I would be surprised if they even have a frost rating).

Any help or advice is very much appreciated :)

Hi Whitebeam

Thank you for your response, much appreciated.

Yes, it's an enclosed building.

Do you think I should take any precautions ... Would any backing boards, or a damproof course of any type help to protect? ... or is that a bit pointless.

Also, any special adhesives? .... or would a good quality BAL adhesive, such as Single Part Flexible be up to the job?

Thank you again. Sorry for such Newbie type questions.

Michael
