This project has me questioning why we didn’t tackle the patio sooner…
Click through for a step-by-step tutorial on how to easily tile over an existing concrete patio.
1
Clear and clean the concrete. We used our pressure washer to thoroughly clean the patio, working section by section.
The next step was to caulk and seal all expansions cuts or grooves in the concrete.

Then, we needed to prep the surface. You’ll ned a jug of self-leveling underlayment primer.

Next, be sure to lay out and plan your tile pattern, then do a dry run prior to actual installation- ensuring it fits properly and looks nice.
4
Then we began the fun part… installing the tile. Using the Ultraflex polymer mortar, we applied the thinset to the concrete.
5
Once your tile is installed, it’s time to grout. We actually found it easiest to grout in sections.
6
Once your tile has been grouted, wipe the excess using a damp sponge.
