why did i even go to highschool? im building a dog kennal with my Dad and our business in about to blow up. thanks for the excellent tips. the client want a mosaic of a german shepard and this helped so much.
Great video and thanks for the tips. You could also use burlap to scrub and clean the tile after the haze sets in. I do this with smooth brick to clean them as a bricklayer.
Very good tip cutting sponge for inside corners. I suggest pre cutting tiles around toilet before mixing the mortar especially if you are working with speed set adhesive. Excellent spacers!!!! I have been looking for the clip and wedge system for LFT . I am not sure that Tavy makes that kind...
Why were so many tiles un-even, and the spacing out of whack on so much? Why was the curved cut so ragged and badly done? Why was there a giant gap around the drain just filled with grout? Why wasnt the thin set cleaned out of the gaps BEFORE it dried? This looked like a truly awful job to me.
Yeah it’s HORRIBLE. Grout is also terrible at the bottom. The fact that the toilet flange has a BIG gap tells a lot about the work being done. But happens a lot with pros!!! That freaks me out every time! I had a pro who did my basement bathroom and it’s not perfect but okay work. I have seen photos of other works he has done (after the fact) and that’s pretty much what you are seeing at 6:40 I swear, finding good tilers is a freaking struggle. Hiring someone else for another job I have. I just can’t take the risk. Fingers crossed, new tiler will do a good job. Also, you can only see the uneven tiles AFTER the grout is in!!! So it makes things awfully difficult to control!
This is more of a marketing campaign for said products than a thorough explanation of the process of tiling a bathroom. You didnt explain tiling around the toilet flange which is Probably the most important part
I’m installing told you my patio. I have a Behr water based stain currently. Do I need to remove it before doing this process with the paper? What kind or brand is that paper?
question: how do you call this new way of method tiling the floor? because in our country we still used the old fashioned way like manually putting cement underneath the tiles.
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists the front of the toilet base sticks out much further and covers that up, he was just simplify the cuts with one pass on those two tiles.
For wood floors like in bathroom floor and wall do I need backer board or just use the paper and mortal sorry if spelled wrong also in shower surround do I use the paper and mortal as well the project I would like to work on is kitchen floor concreat (subfloor ) bathroom floor (wood subfloor) and shower surround I would like to tile my entire bathroom floor and walls I was told at Lowe's I need backer board for the walls i am using ceramic tile that look like wood for the floor and for shower and bathroom walls i would like to use ceramic tile any advice is appreated I'm just learning to tile I'm in the process of tiling my kitchen backsplash with subway tile
Gea J if your tiling over wood sub floor yes you need backer board or durock. 1/4” or 1/2” depending on what floor you got when outside the bathroom. Bathroom walls you could tile right over Sheetrock if your doing a tub sorround and if your tiling over concrete you don’t need nothing just make your you sweep clean and vacuum the dust
For the love of God, don’t do ANYTHING you see in the video prior to actually applying mortar.. everything before that is just a crap commercial for stuff that won’t serve the purpose your expecting.. don’t buy glue.. just clean it. If your surface is uneven or going over wood use durok or any other backer board.. not paper...
Hey I agree with you to a point, as long as they make these and the diy'er watches them I'm making a ton $$$ fixing and doing it right. By the way there are so many don't do it this way in the video😉
Ya gotta be kidding me. You are putting all your faith in the PAPER sticking with GLUE to a floor and wall ??? The paper, glue bond fails and down comes your tile.
A Tile Sponge ......Really ,Would it at all be possible to use a regular sponge ?😂 Also how much did it cost to tile that small area given the shear amount of materials ?
