These are ideal surfaces to fix outdoor mosaic to, either in the form of cast paving slabs (2) or as in-situ coverings for walls or floors. The surface should be as flat as possible, as any irregularities will be visible in the surface of the mosaic. The sand and cement mixes should be completely dry before fixing the mosaic to prevent salts coming up through the joints, and exterior-grade cement-based adhesives should be used. Paving slabs can be purchased either from garden centers or made in casting frames (3) that can be reused to create a series of slabs.
