[QUOTE=Rag ******;273240]Thanks Mulligan, was looking for someone who was familiar with the material. One more question though. It will be exposed to rain showers. I do intend to provide drain holes or cuts in the screen lani frame to eliminate pooling water. Do you think that would be an issue?
It very well could be. And if so, it could be a major problem. Even non-slip tile can be slippery where water pools. Start with the concrete. If it pools anywhere, you should pour a thin mortar mix into the low spots. Then take care when laying the tile that you spread the thinset evenly and apply equal pressure when laying each piece. Unfortunately, it's rather an art to lay tile without any water pooling on a level surface. When I did an outdoor area I started with a higher center area and sloped the surface to the sides. It's a slower process because each tile had to be laid and leveled. As a non-professional tile setter it was my solution, and it worked!
