Hello, today I also have a question and I hope someone is here who can answer it for me. We want to lay tiles on the terrace, but is that still possible? It is already very cold at night and I am afraid that the adhesive will no longer hold properly. Or is that not an issue with outdoor tiles?

Hi, so late in the year I wouldn’t lay tiles anymore because, as you’ve already correctly noticed, it’s simply too cold at night. The adhesive can no longer properly cure and due to the moisture in the cement, everything can crack again if it freezes. Better wait until next year, then success is guaranteed.

hi

I also think that it is already too cold to lay tiles outdoors because the adhesive can no longer cure in the cold. It is best to wait until spring and then start when the nights or days become warmer again.

How the temperatures work with the glue is usually written on the package. If you follow the instructions, nothing can go wrong. But if it is below zero degrees, I can’t imagine that it will work.
