I am looking to tile my front porch floor/step and would like to know the best adhesive and grout to use, the porch is exposed to the eliments as there is no door and no glass side panels etc just a plain old brick porch. Any advice on the adhesive would be of great help also the tiles are red quarry floor tile 15cmx15cm.

Check out the product data sheet on this page-

It looks like it will do the trick

Not done a lot of outsed work myself but do know that you must achieve a solid bed of adhesive otherwise frost will fill up any voids and lift/crack the tiles.

I imagine something like Bal Rapidset flexible and Bal superflex grout would be fine but go on the website just to check

thanks guys much appreciated looks like its BAL for me then. Now just one more thing when I go into the type of tile stores that you see in most retail parks now, I only see their own/cheap brand of adhesive so any tips where to buy BAL products would be great

Topps Tiles sell Bal products but unless you have a trade card it will proove to be expensive.

Any branded adhesive will be up to the job but make sure it is suitable for external use by calling their technical department, don't rely on any sales staffs knowledge, it's often incorrect.

cheers bathstyle much appreciated
