Great job! I would suggest however, leaving an ever so slight space between bottom of wall tile and top of floor tile. Floors and walls will expand and contract so I slight 1/16” gap then filled with silicone caulk that can easily compress so as not to crack any of that great tile work. Good job thank you!

@DIYfortheaverageguy 2 года назад

I have been back to jobs much later (1-2 years) with no issues! I think that would come down to where your house was built & how it shifts with the seasons! Thanks for the comment!

@pauldimarco9718 2 года назад

@@DIYfortheaverageguy ALL houses expand and contract with temp and humidity. Laying tile butted together is asking for cracks or at least possibly popping the bond. Glad you’ve not had issues. I prefer to error on the side of caution. Thank you for the reply as well. Best wishes.

For the metal L Trim, unless you specifically buy stainless steel, most of them are made of anodized aluminum. I use an Xacto razor saw and aluminum miter box to make the rough 45 degree cuts and then adjust the angle/clean up the cut with a fine flat bastard file.

@joerauhut9169 2 года назад

Awesome job Matt ! But I would like to see you wear some safety glasses while using the miter saw . Eyesight is a gift from God ,don't take it for granted. I personally had too many close calls ,I wear them a lot now .🙂👍

@jimmccall2689 2 года назад

Another questions: somehow the contractor scratched the hell out of two vertical pieces of the schluter L trim. Have you any idea how you would correct that? It looks really bad to me, though I'm probably the only person who would notice it. We are not going to make them redo the whole wall, but maybe you have experience in correcting this kind of mistake. These are deep scratches that your fingernail would detect.

@nobodyimportant_23 2 года назад

use a dremel with some polish and you can take it out (unless it's plated)

@joshuaramos9676 3 года назад

Did u use floor or wall tile I have dogs who like peeing on my wooden baseboard so I’m going to replace it with tile

@DIYfortheaverageguy 3 года назад

You can use either! I would suggest you use porcelain tile since it isn’t very porous! Good luck!

Have you remove tile Baseboard before?

@atkgrl 6 месяцев назад

So you are not putting spacing under the tile where it meets the floor tile, then putting silicone sealant… and why not cut the tile long ways

@davidputt4638 11 месяцев назад

A little bit of camera stabilization would go a loooong way. Wither it's lens stabilized or done in post. It was the biggest single distraction during the video. Otherwise top notch! I learned a lot.

@rene9993 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I had a guy come by do the work, and never put any grout or cauk, so I have to finish it myself. Your video really helped!

@zachariahstillwater Год назад

Thank you so much for the little tips especially at the end with the latex and paint to prevent dust and make cleaning easier!

@mimihealy5046 2 года назад

Exactly the info I needed. I was wondering how to end the tile at the shower wall. Both the shower wall and tile edges will have Schluter edging. One question: We were going to thinset the tiles onto the walls. (Schluter All Set can be used on drywall.) Is there an advantage over glue vs thinset for tile baseboards? Thank you.

@DIYfortheaverageguy 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! You can use thinset or A construction adhesive, there isn’t a difference. All set will Definetly work for this! Good luck with the project! :)

Great job Matty! Did you use a tube of silicone and squeeze it out along the bottom

@DIYfortheaverageguy 4 года назад

Hey Kaelin, yes, I did! :)

@MikeJMcCormack Год назад

Thanks for sharing Matt...albeit I'd probably do a few things differently (I like the look of a fresh straight grout line over fresh paint vs silicone/paint), your descriptions on installations (like concave/convex) are dead-on and saved many of us time and aggravation. thx again

@susiekenowski2127 Год назад

hi excellent video thank you, for a bathroom would you caulk under the lip part that sits on floor to stop water from getting behind or under wall?

@pronoun5239 3 года назад

The trim at the top that was slid behind the tiles, what is it called and what is the price and length it comes in?

@DIYfortheaverageguy 3 года назад

It’s called “L trim”. It can be purchased at any homedepot Lowe’s etc. Good luck with your project!

@StickJockeyFPV Год назад

Is it better to use a primer on the wall where you are putting the tiles? If so, what kind?

@karlostetic1020 4 года назад

Super helpful! Do you paint the latex caulk with the same paint as the wall?

@DIYfortheaverageguy 4 года назад

Hey! Thanks for watching! :) yes, exactly. You can paint before or after you remove the painters tape! Good luck! Let me know if you have any suggestions for future videos!

@jimmccall2689 2 года назад

@@DIYfortheaverageguy wouldn't it be smart to paint before removing the tape since the tape is already perfectly set?

I want to use Schluter ditra Instead of Hardie backer Board. I like this technique and it's what I wanted to do can I use this with schluter ditra

@DIYfortheaverageguy 3 года назад

I’m sorry, I’m not sure I understand exactly what you would like to do. You can use ditra in your shower or bath tub as a tile backer but in terms of tiled baseboard, typically you install it over drywall since it’s not in the shower/tub area of the bathroom.

@overcomer4226 3 года назад

@@DIYfortheaverageguy Sorry so I'm gonna say install floor tile in my bathroom using Schluter ditra. I want to use tile instead of any kind of baseboard. Can I just lay the floor tile over the schluter. Then use your method right on the dry wall. I would use the wall tile only as a baseboard I am not replacing any showers or tubs. And I'm only doing tile floors with the tile base sports. No tubs or showers with tile. Hope this is clearer

@DIYfortheaverageguy 3 года назад

Are you doing a heated floor? You don’t necessarily need the ditra under your tile (depending on the application). That being said, yes, you can tile directly over ditra & install the tile baseboard as I show in the video. Hope this helps! Don’t forget to subscribe! :)

Construction adhesive? 🤦‍♂️ Definitely a modified thinset would be better.

What is the adhesive that you used?

@conye7793 2 года назад

Great video!! Where do you get the large pieces of tile to be able to get multiple pieces out of one sheet of tile versus purchasing all individual tiles? My daughters have already accomplished what you described in the beginning of the video. We have the 6 inch MDF trim and of course water got on the floor and it’s all bubbled in areas and looks terrible! Thanks for your help!

@DIYfortheaverageguy 2 года назад

The tile that i used in the video was off cuts of the floor tile! They started off as full tiles sliced down to my desired height! Thanks for watching! :)

@aimsical285 4 года назад

I had to use plastic L trim for mine and the miter saw chewed it up. Cut it all with a hacksaw and sanded to smooth and straighten the cuts. Not half bad but not my favorite process. Now to install!

@DIYfortheaverageguy 4 года назад

Good luck! :)

@ravindragulati6139 3 года назад

not to many videos on this topic, you missed the type of tile your using and skipped over the type of adhesive your using

@DIYfortheaverageguy 3 года назад

Porcelain tile & the adhesive is PL premium. Tile mortar works as well! Good luck!

@Methodical2 2 года назад

Curious. Why did you use glue vs thinset for the baseboards? Do you ever use wood baseboards in your jobs?

@DIYfortheaverageguy 2 года назад

Glue is premixed & quicker to use & yes, I do use a lot of Finger jointed pine as well! I sell the tiled baseboard as an upgrade. Thanks for the question! :)

good job but you need an hour to finish only 1 meter

@DIYfortheaverageguy 3 года назад

For an average size bathroom, it typically takes me 1-2 hours at most. I would say it takes no more time then baseboard & shoe! Once you spackle your nail holes + paint... Its a coin toss. Thanks for watching!
