Hi there,

Haven't been on the forum for a while - trying to build up the business... like most of us.

Got a job to do for outside tiling of steps.... Any tips or advice on this for me as this is a first.

Any help would be much appreciated from all you good tilers out there...

Thanks in advance.
Phil

Tiles are a good choice..( frost ).....I would use a flexible adhesive and grout to create as maximum a bond as poss and take all the elements can throw at it.....

You also might want to think about using some sort of nosing profile for the step edges to prevent any slipping.......

here is some useful video's on tiling steps as well.......
