Outdoor tiles?

[diy1]

Hi.

I want to do a quick facelift of an old staircase using tiles. The tiles I'm considering are frost-resistant.

At first, I thought about removing all the plaster before tiling, but since the staircase has been repaired with concrete, it would be a bit too much to chip away to get a good level to lay on. Instead, I'll chip away any loose plaster and repair with concrete filler.

There "shouldn't" be any problem with having the tiles stay in place for a few years, right?

It should last at least a year.

Check if the tiles become slippery in the winter, if they tolerate salt, or if they are not scratched by sand/gravel during winter slipperiness.

An alternative is to install electric heating cables. They only need to be on when there is a risk of slipperiness.

Choose a properly textured klinkets, as reasonably smooth tiles become slippery as snot!

agree with the previous post, have recently made grooves with husfix on my extremely slippery tiles in the basement stairs

We have had tiles for 5 years now without anything coming loose. It also doesn't feel so slippery in the winter thanks to the grooves cut into the stepping stones.

How nice it turned out!

I've checked out this tile, and it's very rugged.
