Can you advise exactly how I should lay cladding panel tiles outdoors?

I am looking at using your riven slate panel cladding on a structure outside (the outer building to a woodfire oven).

The structure will be made of 9mm WBP secured to frame work, I will stress there is no direct heat coming from the oven to this outer building.

From previous questions am i correct in thinking the wbp should be treated first with an acrylic followed by a bonding agent then the tiles applied using a flexible adhesive?

Can you recommend which brands for outside use?

Hello Alison

You are indeed correct, wooden surfaces will need to be sealed with 2 neat coats of the Granfix acrylic bonding and priming agent before tiling commences.

We would recommend the Granfix Ultimate flex adhesive which is a highly polymer modified fixative, so is therefore perfect for tiling onto a wooden surface.
