How do swimming pool tiles stay affixed if damp affected the adhesive?

Some times you lot over complicate jobs.

On a personal note, I like the tiles as is - perfectly suitable for a period porch.
Don’t think anyone is over complicating things, Bezz has indicated a concern re-dampness all advise given above is relevant In my opinion.

Agree with Tom. Porch looks spot on as it is and in the real world that would probably just be tiled on and last many decades without issue despite the excellent Damp proofing advise that has been given. Sometimes you’ve just got to get on and do these things.
Thanks Tom, I agree there has been lots of text book advice but I think I may just go with my original plan. At the end of the day the cost of tiles for such a small area is only £90 so if it fails, then so be it it wont be the end of the world and I can always rip up and start again.
