Q :Hi, I want to clad an outdoor wall, the description for these tiles say they can be used indoors or outdoor, but reading one of the questions here you don't recommend them for outdoor, please can you clarify?

A :Hello, Thank you for your questions. The cladding's are mainly for interior use, this is due to not being able to grout in between them therefore rain/ water can seek between them, however they can also be used outdoors, if used outside we recommend using a waterproof membrane between the tiles and wall to ensure any living space wall is protected from constant moisture. Please kindly consult a professional tiler for more specific information before installation. Many thanks.

Q :Can the Oyster Slate Cladding Tiles be used outside? Bonded to a concrete block wall if I prime the wall and use EBT+ to glue/bond them on ( like Marshall’s specifications for their cladding tiles ) ?

A :Many thanks for your question. Usually we don't recommend our claddings for outdoor use due to it not being suitable for weather conditions and its not water proof, however we kindly recommend you consult a tiler before installing. If you have any questions, please contact us. Kind regards,.

Q :Can these tiles be used outside?

A :Good afternoon Mr Cox Thank you for your interest in our product and we hope you are safe. Because these specially arrange tiles can not be grouted, they need to be installed with a waterproof membrane backing and also regularly cleaning is needed as to prevent things such as dirt and mould build-up at the joints. This is the main reason claddings and split face tiles are not recommended for external. However, we have still had customers who have taken all this into consideration and decided in installing these types of tiles externally in the past. Hope this is helpful.
