hi guys was just wondering would it be advisable to tile external steps in this cold weather.or is it best waiting till the summer?.if it is possible what type of addy should i be using thanks.

as long as it's 5 degrees and rising it will be fine,just keep them covered from the rain,use flexible adhesive

Hi michael..

To tile external.. you wil need a constant temp above 5 dgs cel... the colder it is then the adhesive will not hydrolic...

Personaly i would wait a while yet..

Wait till it's warmer mate - you need to be above 5 degrees

Loads of acceptable adhesives - Keraquick by Mapei is a good'un
