Here is my question. Can i install tile in a screen porch? Details you ask. Well it’s a 16 x 16 screen porch attach to the house. Under the porch is a full foundation creating a storage shed with a slab and entry door. The wall and ceiling are painted in the shed. I have 3/4 t@g advanstek on the floor. I plan on putting Plexiglass in the window areas in the winter. Will the change of temp. cause cracks in the tile in the New England area? I thought of installing 1/2 inch durock first.

What will stop rain from blowing in and wetting the room below?
At the very least, i would put down a layer or two of ice and water shield and then the cement board before tiling. The cold shouldn't hurt the tiles
