"Installing ceramic tile on metal is just as easy as installing ceramic tile on concrete. The substrate is hard and rigid, so there is no need to use a concrete backer board. If the metal is horizontal or vertical, use FlexBond Fortified Thin-Set Mortar as an adhesive. FlexBond will work well in either situation.
Thanks, Heath"
