How to Tile a Shower Wall...Vertical 12x24 Porcelain -- by Home Repair Tutor 

this video was packed with useful guidance. i appreciate the double aspect of demonstration and clarifying narration. thanks guys 🙏🏽 you've made my life much easier

Man cannot find the remaining videos...no easy way. Want to see the corner bench and the floor finished in this exact shower. Love the videos !!! Just need to find the rest of them! thank you !

Thank you, I thought I was doing something wrong with the mess I was creating putting my large format tiles on, on the floor, the tiles, just about everywhere including my forearms! A real rapid installation and none of this clinical studio stuff you see!!! Real world working! Thanks!

So helpful. I'm tiling my shower today and wasn't sure the best way to start and level the grout lines. I was trying to figure out how to level the first row along the bottom but going up and down makes a lot of sense too. Thank you!

Great tips about build up,back trowling,expansion joints,maximizing using full tiles,thank you

Omg this was a perfect video for my project. I have the same tile and like the vertical installation idea. This video was the second I've seen that properly showed floor tile installation first then the wall one second! Thank you 😊

What beautiful work! I always wondered how vertical tiles would stick to a wall and not fall off. You butter back of tile (vertically) and use spacer clips to hold in place which also presses down the edge. There is also a wire mesh backing to the substrate surface, probably to create a better grip for thinset. Very interesting. Useful DIY tips and also useful if you use a contractor to check quality of work. Subscribed.

thats so good . what a great worksmanship. well done.

I heard sal use ardex 777 ,for glass,and said they honor shluter warranty, in regards to using modified on kerdi, generally supposed to use unmodified,sal says ardex controls drying time,in ardex 77 highly modified,I've seen video where they used a see thru glass tile,for demonstration,to show collapsing the ridges,so important in conjunction w directional troweling,have a great day guys

The 1/3 running bond pattern with that LFT tile looks very cool in that shower.

Great video, thanks guys!

Wow... Great video. You guys are awesome. Great content and very helpful for a beginner tiler. Great explanation. Thank you.

If you use silicone at the ceiling, make sure its paintable silicone. Or use a grout type caulk . Or just grout.

why don't you show the final product? I would like to see how it looks after all work is done.

If understand you correctly: 1) you started by installing the midpoint of the tile overlapping the center of back wall -- to ensure the vertical tiles are symmetrical to the center of the back wall??? May end up trimming tiles on both (not one) sides. Obviously that won't be a problem if installing horizontal tiles. 2) the floor has to be perfectly leveled or the tiles at the top may not line perfectly?? Or better to start from top? Pls clarify both. Thanks.

This is 3 years old.. hope by no you are trialing the thinset in the right direction now.. direction needs to the smallest width of the tile makes it easier to get air out...

Other videos show running the thinset in the direction of the narrow side of the tile yet you chose to run it the opposite. Also, other videos show shifting the tiles 1/4-1/2" to collapse the thinset channels and you don't seem to do that. Is this just a style difference, or did the recommended procedure change in the 3 yrs since you filmed this?

They always teach me notch the thinset on short side of the tile air can escape you doing opposite way

Spot on ....... this is so much help 🥳

Great video guys I will start tiling my shower and this video gave me great idea how to tile my shower I'm going to use 1/2 inch trowel and large format mortar from home depot will that be ok?

Always tile your bench and curb over your shower floor tile... Then walls over your bench, curb, and shower floor tile...

11:26 oof you got me, thought youre trying to seal your ear

Do y'all have any videos installing 12 x 24 tile on the shower floor? I enjoy your videos and you helped me a lot with my first shower now I'm starting my second shower remodel in my master bath and I'm going curbless and the wife want me to use black granite 12 x 24 tiles for the shower floor

Great video . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When installing vertical tile, it's ALWAYS start from a level line above the shower floor since it can be (and almost always is) un-level. This is a big mistake in my opinion to just start tiling from the floor because your grout lines will magnify your mistake as you go up the wall. This mistake is mentioned at minute 8:30...."I should have..."

Can you provide a link to the next video doing the corner step? I looked thru all the videos and can not find it. Great video btw. Keep up the hood work.

i just got these but will be doing it horizontally

Badass job

My plan is to lay 4x12 glass subway tiles vertically on the back of the entire niche. My question is: Can I butt the tiles next to each other as long as I leave a 1/8 gap at the perimeter and silicone?

Why do you just press on the tile instead of moving the tile sids to side?

What size should I make my corner bench seat?

Suggestions for ceiling drywall that isn't exactly level? Ours bows up in the middle.

Do you use spacers at the bottom? Great video btw.

What is on the wall to hold the tile?

Very informative and well done. Do use a rubber mallet to pound those big tiles and avoid nerve damage to your hands.

do you grout the bottom tile onto the floor or leave a small gap and silicone it?

Great video!! I wish you could tile my shower...awesome work!!😉

Should we put the floor tile first or wall tile first?

Hi there, I'm redoing my shower and it's waterproofed and I installed the marble on the Schluter triangular corner bench. Since it overhangs by about an inch it makes for a difficult cut. I feel like I saw a video on this channel where the guy in this video created a notch in the marble and slid the tile behind the notch to avoid sort of a "U" shape cut, and instead is just an "L" shape. Would you be able to direct me to that video?

I noticed that you preparing a lot.. big batch of thinset for the time it takes to install the tiles. Are you not afraid that the thinset in the bucket will harder and you will have to dump it? Do you have a trick so the thinset in the bucket last longer without hardering?

For the top if you didn’t want a grout or calking joint could you use an expansion joint profile or would that not be good for the ceiling?

WOW GREAT VIDEO! What size trowel was that? And could tell me why my trowel lines aren’t that less then full height some times? I think my Mapei LFT thinset is too dry?

Can you attach a Kerdi Scluder corner bench to hardiboard with thin set? I realize it voids the Kerdi warranty but can it be done? Thanks!

Can you tell me about the hybrid notch trowel what's it supposed to do better,I'm using 1x2 lft, porcelain

Hi. I’m about to tile my 4x6 shower. I have a Schluter pre sloped pan that I put the Kerdi over. I used the Latricete waterproofing material that you paint on over the Durock Would it hurt the Kerdi if I put a coat on it before I tile over it? I got two free 5 gallon buckets. It is greyish green liquid. I put three coats on the wall and shower bench. I figured I have plenty why not throw a coat on the floor. So what do you think? Thanks for the great information in the video

Great video!! What size clips are you using for this 12*24 tile?

I will be using 6 x 24 (23 1/2) tile, but would like to do the half mark and not in 3rds, would that be ok? I like your videos, they help a lot. Thank you.

Great video! How do you attach the center part (divided part) of the niche? Thinset or glue??

what's your protocol when dealing with laser levels?

Hi is there a problem with putting 1/16 grout lines on 12x24 porcelain and what grout do you recommend for a shower with 12x24 vertical tiles

What brand of leveling system did you use and how do you break off the tabs before you grout?

Great job guys! Can I use the same pattern with 7”X20” pieces? Thanks!

Can you put 12x24 porcelain tile on a shower wall with greenboard?

Your Tiles installing it's very good , I have one question Tiles have same measurements but have two different thickness can we install them both, look we have different color after installation

What's the reason for using the euro notch trowel

gray thinset with very light tile?

Great video ....may I ask the t lock system ? And which size did you use for this project ? And where can I get one of those?

❤

Good morning! Love all your videos. We are actually looking to lay porcelain tiles (12 x 24) and flat pebbles on our shower floor! What type of mortar are you using for this? Modified or unmodified? Thank you for the tip on the white mortar as the tile place gave us grey

I would do the seat top first :) before the walls preferably with a solid quartz top

Is there an arrow on the back of the tile indicating direction tile is to be laid?

What do you use to seal the joint between first tile and shower pan tile. Grout or silicone ?

My local retailers don't sell T-lock, they sell similar products that seem to snap easily. Is there a supplier that you can recommend?

For the seams everyone says to use unmodified thin set, do you have to also use unmodified when installing these tiles to the kerdi board?

How in the world do I get an exact 1/3 with a 12x24 tile the measurements are 11” 7/8 ???? Please advise!!!! Thanks

How do you protect the ceiling in a shower room ? Please.

How long did that take you to do the first wall? It seems like you laid all those in a day. Thats like 2 days for me using the Proleveling Tile Leveling System. I suck....but then again I dont set tile for a living.

Are you using large format tile mortar or regular mortar?

Thanks guys, great video & content. Question: I see quartz slabs being installed using 100% silicone inplace of thinset mortar. Would it not be possible to silicone attach the porcelain tiles as well?

Great job and great video. Thank you for sharing. When you're back buttering in addition to spreading thinset on the wall do you use a smaller notch trowel than if you were only applying thinset to one surface?

One question: why didn’t you guys use white All-Set? Might there be a risk of that light tile darkening over time with the dark thinset?

Hello can I use full contact motar to install my 12x24 porcelain shower wall tiles?

What size is the grout line? Thanks

Did you mix the thinset on the lower end of the water recommendation for these tiles? I found that when i mixed the all set for the edge band and membrane stuff (i used mostly kerdi board) and mixed it to the wetter side (7.5-8.5 quarts per 50 pound bag) it stayed that consistency for about an hour then noticeably started to dry after that. I haven't mixed an entire 50 pound bag yet because there was no way i could apply it and trowel it out fast enough to do all the water proofing in my shower. I do know you want the thinset drier for the tile, but I am worried when I mix it it will become too dry before i am able to use it all. The consistency at about an hour and a half was kind of like slightly wet sand I thought. Still held a notch on the trowel pretty well, and I am assuming that is what I want for putting these 12x24 tiles down. I bought rubi cyclone spacers to do mine and my shower is exactly the same size as this one in this video, and I am even running the same size tiles and same direction, just minus the shower bench and I have a window on my back wall that I am going to trim with the schluter pieces like a niche, and then a niche on the opposite of plumbing wall.

Great info, Thank you. Where can I purchase the T Lock clips & those pliers?

Do you install the bench on the top of the schluter tray or do you cut it out?

Can the kerdi shower pan have a step ladder placed on top to tile ceiling tiles?

based

Where is he video for installing the carpet?

Why would u not do the floor first? Now the wall tile will sit behind the floor tile.

Hi and I use mapei modified thin set LFT I mix the whole 50 lbs bag and I don't have much time to to complete the job by myself , the thin set thicking . Do you have any problem with these thin set

If I'm using the shluter system. Wall board and pan system witch do I install first.

Hello, you do beautiful work. Question, can the vertical tile be placed alone the full bottom then upward.

What about ceiling of the washroom ? Is not going to be secured with the orange protective sheet

What brand t-lock system do guys commonly use?

are the spacers providing 1/8 or 1/16 gaps?

Why didn’t you use a level when tiling up the wall ? I don’t see a level ANYWHERE how do you know if your falling in or out ?

What brand/size clips and plier clip are you using?@home repair tutor

Do I need modified or unmodified mortar? Please help my tiles are 12x24 porcelain tile

How much water did you mix with that 50 lbs bag?

What size grout line?

15:30 ya fuked up. Gravity and drip says u need to put the wall tile on top of the bench top tile.

What size spacers are you using?

Is it more aesthetically pleasing to use large format tiles in small bathrooms? I am redoing a 7' x 4.5' bathroom. The shower area will be 34" from front to back including 4" curb. Was planning on using a 3"x6" beveled white subway tile for the walls and a 6"x6" tile for the floor, now I sm not sure. Fyi, I have zero design skills.

well done, im just wondering why you didn't waterproof the walls?

What is the notch depth on the trowel?

Where’s part 4

Well. Clicked on this video as you show the floor being done. And… it’s not in this video 👍
