Porch Tile?

[Joe Baumgarten]

We are looking at somehow refinishing our front, concrete porch. Is there such a thing as a tile or other product that can be laid over existing concrete?

[Charlie Bress]

Concrete is a good base for tile. Since this will be exposed to the weather, don't get a highly glazed tile that will be slippery when wet.

Hi,

You can do quarry tile. You justuse your underlayment cement to adhere tiles and then grout them.

:You might also consider natural stone, such as precut (not split) slate, using thinset portland cement to attach them to the steps. Make sure to clean the concrete with brush and detergent, then etch with diluted muriatic acid . This will assure a fast bond between tile or stone, and the concrete. Slate and certain other stones and tiles provide a secure, rough surface in the winter..
