Hi, thank you so much for your video, it was really informational and I appreciated the length that you explained each step. I was wondering why you did not use an uncoupling membrane? When should we use uncoupling membranes? I am trying to tile a 1/2 bathroom downstairs, and am very nervous. Thank you.
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 4 года назад
Thank you! Great question, this was actually a commercial unit bathroom, and I advised the Cust about an in coupling membrane. They opted out. I would recommend that you use one. It’s always up to the customer. We use it 65% of the time when it’s in the budget. The other 35% that we haven’t used the membrane directly on concrete has never ever had problems or call backs. I wouldn’t be nervous, take your time, everything will work out fine. Stay safe and healthy! Happy remodelling!
@BensenK
@BensenK 4 года назад
@@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 wow, thank you so much for the quick reply! that was really helpful, thank you. If I may ask another question: when is it appropriate to use a primer? Is it only used for levelling agent? Also, is it worth using primer and levelling for a tiny 1/2 bathroom? Thank you so much.
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 4 года назад
The primer can also help if you wanna lay right on the concrete directly, it surely doesn’t hurt. Using the self levelling concrete will always help no matter the size. The major benefit would be a straighter floor for easier tile install. Check the floor, see if the floor is not straight, check out the video I have on floor levelling. Every job or situation is always unique. Always a pleasure and here to help!

@nuno591
@nuno591 3 года назад
Thank you for the well paced video :) Great job! The camerawoman did a great job too! If you don't mind I've a couple questions: 1 - Shouldn't the tiles be flushed against all the walls? I see some gap in there...there is no chance of the water liking to the concrete and cause problems down the road? 2 - In a remodel situation, how do you make sure that the new tiles will be at the same level of the other rooms flooring? Thank you!
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 3 года назад
You’re very welcome Nuno! Thank you for watching! Lets see if I could help answer your questions. 1-The tiles don’t need to be flush to the walls, as long as the finished baseboard covers up the gap. That all depends on what finish you’re putting from floor to the wall. Check out our finish carpentry playlists and you will see the finish. How to install baseboard. This video will show why I was concerned about the gap of tile to wall. If you’re installing a tile baseboard, then I would suggest go as close to the wall as possible. PLease remember these videos are of real jobs and not just a Mach up to make a video. 2-Great question, to match up the new to be tile floor to another level of floor, there are a ton of different methods, again this job was installed to stay low as per customers request. If you have to raise the floor you can by using an uncoupling membrane that can raise by different heights, You can use a 1/2” X 1/2” trowel, you can use self levelling cement also to raise up and or even a dry pack base. We have a few videos on these subjects all except for using a dry pack base. So check out our other videos on tile installation in our library. I hope this helps, Stay tuned for more videos coming soon! Don’t forget to subscribe! Stay safe and healthy and thanks for watching!

Hi there sir and 1st of all thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m about to start cutting my 32x32 porcelain tiles for installation on my bathroom’s concrete floor. (Using the Dewalt 10”) Question 1: Which is the best option, a square 1/2x1/2x1/2 vs U-notch 9/16x3/4x3/8 trowel? Question 2: is using a U-Notch give me a shorter height when tile is finally set, I’ve heard it would give me a Third of the original 9/16 height which in theory should be lower than using the 1/2 square trowel. And lastly, Question 3, if height is my concern would you recommend I used the 1/4 trowel you used on this video for my 32x32 size tile and if so do you see any issues given ones I back butter it will still only give me half the height of the original 1/4th, making its final height be an estimated 1/8 please advice. Lastly my bathroom is only 25 Sqf and I’ll be only using 4 of the 32x32 porcelain tiles. If there is another trowel you would recommend I would be much appreciated. Thank you again for all your help.
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 4 года назад
Home Today thanks for watching. I would use 1/2 trowel. We used the 1/4 x 3/8 in this video. I don’t see why the u notch trowel is necessary. The bigger the trowel the more cement. Without back butter the tile with the notch you will get approx. 60% of the height. If you back butter the tile with the notch side you will get about 85% of the height. No matter what backbutter the tile with the flat side of the trowel. That’s a big tile, is this your first tile job? Make sure the floor is completely level before you start! Hope this helps.
@KnickTran
@KnickTran 4 года назад
Thx for the very detailed video. It looks like you’re using 12x24 tiles. Shouldn’t you use a 1/2” trowel. I’m no expert, but that’s what I’ve read in my internet research.
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 4 года назад
In that job we were told to keep the height of the tile as low as possible. I still used 1/4” x 3/8” . 1/2” trowel is best. I usually use 1/2” on that size tile. Thanks for watching. Stay safe and healthy!

It is on the 4th floor and had tiny tile which were very difficult remove and even more difficult when removing the old cement underneath the tiles. Now, I am left with an uneven surface and would like to tile it the way you did yours and I am a bit concerned in not exceeding the original Hight. I am in the US and wondering what suggestion you might have in order not to have an elevated flooring compared to the original condition. Tanks again for the beautifully done video and the very professional job that you did on this video.

We don’t use schluter uncoupling membrane, when we do we use the mapei mapeguard um uncoupling membrane. We didn’t show that in this video because the customer opted out on the option. I would recommend using an uncoupling membrane if it’s your budget. Another video will be coming soon, on how to install the uncoupling membrane. This video was to show how to install directly on concrete. This video is a great guide on how to install tile. An uncoupling membrane should especially be used on plywood and as an option on concrete. We have many videos to come to answer more questions.

How would you prep that for tile? I’m thinking a disc grinder but I was also wondering if there is an acid product that would make it a bit easier
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
Thank you Sara Lola, I figured putting together a one video on tile install on concrete would help a little. As for your question, we always use a sanded base grout for floors! Mapei has and multi purpose grout now that is great for all projects , if your not sure which suits your project.

Great to see you "back butter" your tiles to ensure 100% adhesion, You wouldnt believe how many" paid morons" dont care to do this because its time consuming and the customer pays the final price a couple years down the road when their tiles pop up. Great videos Thanks

Great video and am about to tackle my 2nd bathroom floor. However, unlike the last one, this one is on a slab foundation. The floor looks fine (level, free of any glue or debris as they used a floating floor. Question, with this clean concrete floor, should I forgo the Schluter Ditra uncoupling membrane like i used on my first job (plywood). It worked great on that job, but is it going to be overkill on the concrete floor? Thx!!
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 2 года назад
Thanks Dave Luke! To be honest I would still use an uncoupling membrane to avoid cracks in the finish tile. Dave you don’t have to use a name brand like schluter, there are a ton of different manufacturers that make the same without paying for the name

I think I have answered this question before, we have done this for over 2 decades, the other option would be to install an uncoupling membrane if the customer opts in for it. Don’t forget, this is how we do it. These videos are here to help people. Everyone will have there opinion and free will to do as they please. Hope that helps. Stay safe and healthy!

I swear this is the best video on RU-vid and the way he explains everything I just wish you could’ve explain the thinset you’re using little more ..I am about to do my washroom floor just like this one and the kitchen..the one I bought it’s white and non modified ..which one do you use my floor is concrete by the way and I have 13 by 13 ceramic tiles white with some grey lines
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 3 года назад
Who’s behind me?😉 thank you for the compliment! Great question BTW! I used the grey LFT by mapei. We use modified on 90% of our jobs. Modified has a few more chemicals in it for bonding and curing. You can definitely use non modified. In regards to the color, the white is more expensive and is used more for natural white stones like marble, and so on so that you won’t see a color difference bleed through by using grey. This is especially the case when do glass tile also, I would use the white then. It’s ok to use the white, just the cost is higher. I used grey because the tile was just a porcelain grey tile. Check out my other videos on tile in the tile playlists, and enjoy. I hope this helps and thank you again! Please share the videos with your friends, have fun!

Hello Edward, on the grout is it sanded grout? Also, when does one use 1/4 gaps? Do you have a video on cutting tile. How do prevent chips when cutting towards the end of the tile? Thanks
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 4 года назад
Jim Castillo the grout for the floor is sanded. 1/4 gaps only depends on the tile and the look you want. The best way to prevents chips is to buy a really good blade.this is the one I use is the p4 amzn.to/3lK471r or the upgraded version is the P5 amzn.to/3iWw1We, these blades are amazing and help from chipping.
@davidbyers5140
@davidbyers5140 3 года назад
Thanks, appreciate your care! Question: You use 1/4 inch trowel and apply 1/4 inch to both floor and back of tile. This as opposed to using 1/2 inch on the floor (for these large format tiles) and then just back buttering the tile. I like this method but have never seen this demonstrated before. It seems that applying 1/4" to both will ensure more uniform coverage of thinset? Can you comment on your method-While it does not appear to be "standard practice", I am thinking of doing it this way on my upcoming 12x24 tile job.? Thank you!
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 3 года назад
Hey David, I apologize for not responding sooner. I only saw this today. I used the 1/4" trowel because the customer didn't want the floor to high because he wasn't sure what floor he was going to put everywhere else. You should be using a 1/2" trowel for the large tile. Regardless of any size trowel I install it exactly the same way that I demonstrated in this video. Applying the mortar the way I did we ensure the best contact possible. Please note our viewers discretion is advised: These videos are not here to dictate on exactly what you should do. You need to take what you think works for you and decide what works best in the situation or job that you are going to take on. Everyone has different methods that work for them. I hope this helps. Stay safe and healthy, stay tuned for more videos and Happy New Year! Thanks for watching!

I'm a newbie to tiling. How would one address drain slopes in the floor when your installing tile directly to a cement floor? It's to my understanding if not done properly, it could cause the tile to crack. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 3 года назад
I would have to see the job, to be honest. Every job is different and usually requires a different approach. If you’re concerned about the tile cracking, use an uncoupling membrane.

Thank you very much! We have been doing this for the past 25 years and no issues. It is recommended to install an uncoupling membrane but thats up to you.

Homeowner dyser here. Question: you use 1/8" grout line in this job. I am torn between 1/8th and 3/16th. Besides personal preference and current trends (smaller grout widths), is there a reason you would use one width vs the other? Thank you again.
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 3 года назад
Great question, it’s all about aesthetics, no more no less. What ever will look better with the tile you’re installing. In my opinion 1/8” looks great with a tile that has a rectified edge. Keep in mind 1/8” gap has very little room for error. If you take your time and can use a straight edge as a guide and good clean spacers, you will be fine. Check out the links in the description for most of the things I use and find help me. Thank you for watching, stay tuned for more videos to come, stay safe and healthy and Happy Holidays!

Thank you for such an informative video. I search through internet for "how to install tiles on a concrete floor", so that I can understand why some of the tiles in my house cracked. My whole house is tiled when we moved in 20 years ago. While the painter was painting our living room and kitchen (several years ago) and told me "several tiles in the living room and kitchen are hollow underneath - - -". He knocked on those tiles with the wooden end of the paint brush and those tiles made sounds different to that of the tiles nearby. Several of those tiles cracked now after we moved a lots of stuff to that area for a few years. It appears the areas under those tiles might not have enough "mixing stuff" underneath them, am I right?
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 2 года назад
It does sound like the tiles are not installed with enough mortar. If you are redoing the floor, make sure to use an uncoupling membrane. Check out our how to install tile playlist, there are great videos that can help you. Thank you for watching!

Do you recommend that orange honeycomb subfloor membrane? What is that for anyway?
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 3 года назад
That’s a great question Carlo, yes I do recommend an “uncoupling membrane” the orange one is the schluter brand of an uncoupling membrane. You don’t have to use that specific one, there are tons of manufacturers that make an uncoupling membrane and costs vary, but they basically do the same thing. We like to use the mapei one, and it’s not as costly. Check out this video on how to install any uncoupling membrane and it can be applied over concrete or plywood prior to tile installation.

I bought the Custom Building Products Natural Stone and Large Tile Premium Mortar. It states "Smooth concrete slabs must be mechanically abraded to achieve proper bond." I looked up the VersaBond®­LFT Large Format Tile Mortar and it states the same thing. My basement bathroom has smooth concrete as it appears in this video, will there be a sufficient bond?
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639
@idealdirecthomeimprovement1639 4 года назад
Very good question! If you clean the floor well, like I do with water, and use any LFT and back butter the tile like I do, you will be fine. You can also use an un-coupling membrane if you want before you install the tile. Back buttering and following the instructions in the video, will create an amazing bond. Trust me, to remove the tile after a few years, you will need to chip them out with a demolition hammer and I can almost guarantee that parts of the original concrete floor will come up with the tile. Happy remodelling and stay a safe and healthy!
