I'm in the uneviable position of having to live in apartment after being a country boy most of my life. My landlord would go wild if I messed up the place. I have a good size concrete balcony with ceramic tiles on the floor.
Does anybody have some suggestions about protecting the tiles from stains? I have a buddy back home who is a contractor and he suggested concrete board. This sounds about perfect but so far I cannot find it over here. And I'm wondering if concrete tiles or additional tiles would scratch the existing ones.
I want to make an elevated 3x5 cook area and if I can't get concrete board and have to use concrete tiles I am also concerned about grease dripping through the tile cracks since this has to be easy to get rid of when I leave. I won't be grouting the tiles. So basically I need a stain and heat proof covering that's temporary but solid enough, should be light enough that I don't break the balcony off the side of the building, and should protect the ceramic tiles that are on there already so when I pull this up I don't have a mess underneath that won't just mop right up.
Thanks for any ideas.
