Temporary tiling over concrete patio

4 years ago

I have a section of my flat concrete patio that I'd like to tile over. I know removing tile from concrete can be a bear -- so I want to make this more temporary. To accomplish this, I'm wondering whether I can just lay down CBU directly on top of the concrete (without mortar), and then install tiles on the CBU. Then, the tiling can be removed easily along with the CBU. Is there any obvious reason this is a bad idea? Alternatively, I could use concrete fasteners to stabilize the CBU on the substrate -- does that have its own issues?
