I have an apparently simple problem that has started to confuse me.
I have a 50m2 cast concrete patio that on one side connects to the house and on the other side ends half a meter above the ground. I will remove the surface layer so that only concrete remains.
On the patio, I want to lay tiles. How do I attach the drip edge so that the water definitely runs over it and not underneath??
Sure, I can simply screw the sheet in place and then spread a thin waterproof layer over it, on which I then lay the tiles. But I don't think the tiles along the edge will stay when they're only separated from the sheet by a thin waterproof layer, and I don't know if it's enough of a seal to prevent water from getting under the sheet.
How the heck do you do it??? Grateful for all replies!

Why have a drip plate?
Extend the tiles 15 mm over the edge so it drips from there instead

You should skip the ink altogether!
Well, I think the water would flow around the underside. Additionally, it wouldn't look so nice and there’s a big risk that the kllinkers tiles sticking out would break over time.
Can it really be that difficult to fit a drip edge?

No, it's not difficult at all to fit a dropplåt, but I'm doubtful it makes a difference.
But if you absolutely want one, you can have it!

If I understood you correctly and you understood me, I assume you have also connected the plate in the existing one? If that's the case, you shouldn't need a drip tray at all? However, I do not recommend casting old plate into the slab?
Didn't quite understand the bit about "i befintligt"?
I will be putting on a new sheet, but the question is how. Do I have to cast another layer of concrete just to embed the new drip edge? (Hopefully not, a lot of work just to attach a sheet.)

No, you don't need to if I understand correctly? Image is always preferable for more accurate answers.
Yes, I understand that I should get a picture. I'll try. But the situation is simple. A concrete slab that is 30 cm thick and ends in the air. How do I attach the drip edge? Lay it on top of the slab, protruding over the edge and screw it in? With some kind of waterproof layer on top?
Not sure if that's enough to understand?

Are you planning to have something over the plate? Like a beam or glass section?
Only tiles. (There is also a railing but it is attached to the outer edge of the concrete slab.)
On top of the concrete slab, there should only be tiles. (The other side of the concrete slab is attached to the house, but I believe everything is under control there.)

Where you have the slab anchored in the "existing" house, everything should be fine. But where you lay the tiles, I now understand you regarding the drip edge. I would have chosen to attach the edge with appropriate fasteners and sealing IF I were to have a drip edge there! Instead, I would have chosen not to have anything there and instead continued down a bit with the tiles!
Yes, you're probably right that one option is to continue down with tiles. I might need to think more about it, but it's for aesthetic reasons that I don't like that solution.
If I now screw the sheet metal in place and apply a thin waterproofing layer of a few millimeters on top, isn't there a risk that the outermost tile will come loose? It would then, in practice, be glued to a sheet of metal with only a thin waterproofing layer in between.
I'm also wondering about the waterproofing layer. Won't it crack where the layer moves from the concrete slab to the metal sheet?
Am I worrying unnecessarily?
