External Tiling with gert big porcelain - TilersForums.com

[Chewie]

Good morning guys and gals,

I'm about to take on a big patio and I'd like any recommendations for the best adhesive to use. I've been tiling for nearly fifteen years now but this is my first outdoor job.
I'm using porcelain, 1200 x 600mm.
I think there's some levelling to be done on one part of the patio and I was thinking about using Ardex K301.
Any advice would be greatly received.

Ardex k301 is suitable for exterior use I also believe that F.ball stopgap 850 is suitable but check that but it does come in about £10 a bag cheaper .

Rocatex xl500 is suitable and very competitive.

I like ultralite S2 for outdoor tiling. It's nice and fluffy, great potlife.

I'd always go for an S2 outdoors and just adding water to ultralite S2 makes it really simple, compared with 2part adhesives.
