Tiling a Rooftop Patio
Good day. I have a rooftop patio off of my kitchen on my third floor apartment. I recently removed the old decking to find the roof (normal flat, black, felt? apartment building roofing) is in fine shape--thankfully. Now, I'd like to install exterior ceramic/porcelain tiles. Can I put adhesive right on the roofing, or do I need a cement substrate first? The slope is already well structured towards the drain and so I'd like to avoid using self-leveler/skreed if possible? Thanks in advance for any guidance.
What is the best leveling system?
Which leveling system do tilers prefer the best? Clip - Wedge - Plier, combo T Leveler (with the wrench) Or the screw/cap system?
