Hey all,
I am building a brew shed in my back yard ~148 sq ft, and intend on tiling the floor. I already built in a 1-2* slope on the floor towards a trough I built in the structure, so drainage is not an issue. While i'm certain I could get away with 12" porcelain tiles I've got a concern about them cracking if i drop an empty keg on them or something along those lines. I also am having a difficult time getting accurate ratings on the tile available at the HD/Lowes and what their coefficient of friction is on the tiles they have in store.
Intent is to have a strong tile that isn't slippery when wet...and as always without breaking the bank.
I intend to put the tile down with thinset, i suppose I should put down backer board, do it right the first time and all that, especially since this is outside. the flooring is 2x6 joists 16" on center with 3/4" OSB
Any recommendations on tile?
cheers,
-Matt
