"Depends on the tile , and the muck it would sit on and if the tile had a slurry mix before laying ! Ideally would be more durable if it had a concrete base to be laid on as that would be more solid a posed to type 1 and muck"

"We have laid them ten years ago and they are still looking amazing, it's all dependent on the quality of the installer, you get what you pay for, usually anyway check previous work of the installer and ask for references from previous customers"
