Outdoor broken glass patio table upcycle
Hi everyone, I'm planning to upcycle a tabletop using a metal base. My idea is to mount a 1/2" thick, 4' x 6' cement board, Durock Brand, onto the metal frame and tile it with Talavera Mexican tiles. For the table edges, I’m considering either a ceramic tile bullnose or 2x2 tiles or redwood edge strip. A few questions: Will the cement board with Talavera tiles withstand outdoor elements? (I’m located in San Jose, California.) Should I add a pressure-treated plywood backing for extra support, or will the cement board alone be sufficient? I plan to use thin-set mortar for adhering the tiles and grout to finish. Is there anything else I should consider? I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions! Thanks! submitted by /u/Odd_Independent1801 [link] [comments]
