the Biggest failure in the tiling industry is porcelain laid outside laid by landscapes that just do not understand the installation of porcelain external the trouble is they are given bad installation by supplies this is what they say seal the back of the tile SBR and then you can back butter the tile with neat cement and bed on dry sand cement mix and mallet it down it does not work failure will happen very quickly as cement does not absorb into the tile and the sealer does nothing
What chance for a tiling contractor as the landscapers believe they are doing it right we need the correct installation to be shown to the morons that are selling these products again its the poor customer that is paying the price for bad advice and incorrect installation
USE A TILING CONTRACTOR with the correct background in legations for installation in porcelain outside it is the only way to go
