Time's Ran Out

I'am not a great fan of Original style tiles for outside! They have a level of porosity that porcelain doesn't have and they need upkeep/sealing. They would need to be laid on a sub base with run off to stop freeze thaw. I certainly wouldn't expect them to last the 100 years of original tiles.

Call me inexperienced in these matters I appreciate they could be laid butt jointed on a solid bed but if they are done like this isn't still possible to get some water ingress between tiles which when it freezes will have a negative impact on the tiles over a period of time and is possible the reason for original instalation failing any way , albeit that it has lasted a long time .
