Hello. We have a wooden house with a balcony on an extension. Metal roof underneath. Wondering if it's possible to lay tiles on the balcony. So, remove the decking. Maybe keep the frame in treated timber and lay some board on which the tiles can be placed. I'm thinking of cement tiles. What do you think? What kind of boards would work for this? Grateful for any advice/Camilla

Is there a roof over the balcony? The risk is that they might come loose due to moisture/frost/above-freezing temperatures/moisture/frost/above-freezing temperatures... after a few winters. I've seen a bunch of balconies where this unfortunately didn't work.
Check the clinker deck.
I think clinker decking on the plastic base is a really sensible solution in general, but it's not directly made for metal roofing so I'm not really sure how it works, but it can probably be solved somehow. If it's a standing seam roofing, it's important that all the bases miss the seams and that the point load isn't too high so that the metal doesn't deform or get damaged, for instance.
