Choosing an outdoor tiler
Outdoor tiling has to cope with sun, rain, temperature swings and foot traffic, so both the tile and the way it is laid differ from indoor work. Slip resistance is a safety issue around pools, on steps and on any surface that gets wet, and external-grade porcelain or textured tiles are usually chosen for grip. The fall of the surface has to shed water away from the house and towards drainage rather than pooling.
Movement is the big challenge outdoors. Tiles laid over a balcony or a suspended slab expand and contract with the weather, so movement joints and the right flexible adhesive are essential to stop tiles lifting or cracking. On a balcony or above a living space, waterproofing and drainage under the tiles are as important as they are in a bathroom, because a leak there ends up inside the building.
Ask the outdoor tiler how they are handling the fall to drainage, the movement joints and the transition at doorways where inside meets outside. Grout and adhesive rated for external use matter, and a tiler who raises these points is planning for a surface that survives its first few summers and winters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Tiling
External-grade porcelain and textured or structured tiles are popular because they resist weather, fading and staining and offer better grip when wet. Slip rating is the key number to ask about for patios, steps and pool surrounds. Very smooth or polished tiles are usually a poor choice outdoors because they become slippery in the rain.
Yes. Outdoor surfaces are laid with a slight fall so water runs off towards drains or garden rather than pooling or running back towards the house. Getting the fall right is part of the tiling work and prevents puddles, staining and water finding its way inside. Balconies over living areas also need waterproofing beneath the tiles.
Almost always because of movement that was not allowed for. Outdoor tiles expand and contract with heat and cold, and without movement joints and a flexible adhesive the stress has nowhere to go, so tiles tent up or crack. Correct joints, the right adhesive and sound preparation prevent it.
Often yes, if the concrete is sound, clean and has the right fall, though cracks in the slab may need to be addressed first so they do not telegraph through the tiles. The tiler will check the surface, the fall and any movement before recommending it. A crack-isolation layer is sometimes used over problem slabs.
