Large tile on shower floor. Tile Relief Cuts. Shower Floor Tile. Shower tile. 

TikTok brought me here.. not doing tile work but love to see others work and completed neat tasks!

Make no mistake guys. Large format tile slopes to a center drain are incredibly difficult. It’s made to look easy here. But it’s a challenge to get right if it’s not your profession. You can absolutely do it tho. Just don’t ever say “eh… we’ll sort that particular detail out on the next step.” You’ll back yourself into a corner that you won’t get out of easily. Great video! Nice work!

What I like from this video is this installer got very nice tools.

I really enjoy how in your videos when you are using a tool you talk or play music instead of making us hear the loud tool I'm a new follower of your channel I have my own construction company and I really enjoy your Content

You’re the best and thanks to TikTok I am learning many things that I will used thank you

Thank you so much. I've watched a lot of videos, but none of them explain it at the very end. How should the level be? You are a real dude, you showed everything correctly, and I finally understood everything how I should do it.

This dude is nice. Very intimidating assignment.

Very nice dude!! Loved the t-shirt too lol!!

Looks awesome! Great how to video. I’m enjoying the content. Keep em coming! 👍🏼💪🏼

huh... it really is that simple. Good to know. I work at floor and decor and I had been told that lft in a shower is possible but i never knew how so. glad to know because I'd like to do a job one day...just don't know when

best video about tiling a shower thank you!. Dziekuje

self-leveling after the shower base is a great idea man

Yo was super confused on slopes good video no cap

Awesome job! TikTok brought me here

Love this…plan a dry run outside before assembling the floor. Thanks

Dude that's Art .... Keep it up ... Thanks for sharing

New subscriber here from TikTok, Thankyou so much for all your vids and tips!!! Would love to go and learn with you 😁🙌

I also do these work and still have learn alot from ur videos them👍👍

Do you use the same tile for the curb or you use the wall tile? Curious if you have a video showing that! Thank you!!

The job is beautiful, it would be great to have some of our questions on how to do it answered.

thank you mate for such an amazing video, just a quick question, if any one does this on 10-15 showers you reckon he will be master in this skill?

Nice job! I did one of these today. Templating for them with door skin is really fast and clean. That’s about a 15 Sq foot pan, no reason you should be charging 45 a foot for that. You’re giving it away. Price needs to be at least double that. We charge 60 a foot for regular pans.

Have you used large tile in an offset shower pan using relief cuts? Not sure how that layout would look. Thanks for videos. Really good stuff.

First respect your work I have learned so much from your videos. Is the tile slick when wet?

Wow! That`s nearly what we are having very soon. The difference is only tiles are 1200*1200mm and 6mm thick porcelain. Is there any options to cut diagonally on a snap cutter, please? It seems to me, if diagonal gouts are smaller than regular ones, it would look better than thick diagonal gaps. Also, should this technique be used with 6mm porcelain (I mean three cuts and avoid one deep cut) to create relief wet cuts, please? And.. one more question- should we use different tile adhesive thickness or different size notch in comparison to standard 600*600*10mm tiles, please Is there any special approach for big format? Should we notch both surfaces- floor (wall) and tiles or substrate only? Thank you

From TikTok ✌🏽

Nice video thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!! Blessings ur way !!!!

Do u have a editorial of doing the relief cuts on a curbless shower using a linear drain that's set toward middle of room? My shower will b 6' long w a 5' linear drain the starts at the showerhead wall. I love ur design on this shower. But I'm thinking w the raised bath floor along the outside wall then dropping down level to bathroom floor that I could just cut a 12" narrow strip at the end of the drain so it mimicks the time in drain then just lay rest going up to outside wall. Man I hope I described that correctly. I spoke to 5 business about laying it for me & all I got was what a bad design I planned... Wet bath bad, curbless bad, wall mount toilet bad,...

Hey man thank u so much u give a good ideas about it !

Nice job!

I am going to attempt this, one thing not mentioned much is the blade kerf vs intended grout line spacing, doesn’t the cut width need to be the grout line spacing and the cut in the middle of the mark to not throw the sides off?

Excellent videos, I wish you would have shown how to finish the walls and corners with the Hydro Ban boards and membrane. Did you use mesh tape, if so, which brand? Laticrete screws? How tall is the niche and how did you attach the back board in the Niche? You do very high quality work.

One thing I figured out: the diagonal cut should be only for the tiles with either wall tiles on both sides or on no side. The once which have one side only i cut on the outer side about 15mm off center because the one wall tile brings then the grout lines optically back to center. Sorry if you might not know what I mean but English is not my first language.

Very nice ! Thank you for sharing 👍

You really need to wear a mask when grinding or dry cutting tile. Silicosis is no joke.

Do you need an envelope cut shower base with flat surfaces for these large tiles or can it be done on a traditional bowl shaped base? Some of the foam base manufacturers require to specify the type of cut on the shower base...

If you make the relief cut from the corner of the tile to the corner of the grate, it won't align with the floor pan. The floor pan slopes from its corners towards the center.

First time I watch a tiling video with Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade in K, G 526) in the background.

Nice work bro

Coffee and hydroban in opening frame? Yeah I'll watch this video.

Although I think your video is informative, you fail to mention that when installing a non mosaic tile needs to meet the requirements for wet slip coefficient. You wouldn't want anyone especially a client to get hurt! -TheFlash

Well done. I have a question regarding the layers under your tiles. Why did not you use any water barrier layer under them? Wouldn't that be water issue for the underlying layers of the tile?

Looks great! What grit polishing pad do you typically use on porcelain edges?

This gave me so many ideas thank you!! But one question, why didn't you use some kind of dust collection or a mask when cutting the tiles with the grinder? I work in construction too just saying it for your own future health bro👷🏼‍♂️ ⚒️

Thank you Bud.

Thank you. Tiktok works well

Would the technique be the same if the pan has an offset drain?

Do you have a video that shows how you graded the floor underneath the tiles? I am looking to go from a fiberglass shower to a tile shower and I dont know how to start the floor.

Cool intro 😎

Have you done a shower floor with this large format tile where the drain isn’t in the center of the shower pan? This looks great with the drain in the middle but having difficulty picturing it with an offset

I like the look, but seems like a slip hazard with big tile sections.

Great job

Did you have problems with your saw i have one like it and it cuts crooked there is a loose between the shaft and the motor and they will not fix it they now ignoring me 😢

What’s the name and size of that polishing wheel you used?

Would this work in a shower with an offset drain? I want to attempt it (12x24 tile), but not sure how to lay it out to get the slope without lippage.

So installation would cost roughly 700 canadian based on your quote. But some reason everything is so expensive here in Canada. It will cost just north of 1500 for this.

When you lay the tiles marking the drain I noticed that the vanes and design of the tiles don’t match, make sure you follow the arrow behind the tile on one direction

What size rubi cutter is that. And do you read messages on two year old videos?

Would an 8x9 inch octagon tile require relief cut over a schluter pan with center drain?

What rpm does the grinder run at.

Looks like smooth surface, gloss finish tile installed. Someone’s going to break their ass on that shower floor.

What size tiles are they to start with?

Back 2 pie cuts are off. Do it again.😂

How do you maintain the slope towards the drain? Would the large tiles be level?

How much would you raise the drain an 1/8 or 1/4 of the tile

How much to cut a foundation horizontally for about 9ft x 6 in . I live in Effingham New Hampshire.

How much does it cost psf to tile bathroom walls on average?

It's nice craftsmanship but for some weird aesthetics reason I hate the look of relief cut tiles.

Are those polished tiles? Are they slippery?

Quick question, is there any limitations in doing the large file format in a basement, where the floor is all cement? Like would you need to have some sort of plywood like the main floor or is it not possible to do in a basement with a concrete floor?

Hello, what are the tile spacers that you use called? What's the model of them? Thanks.

is this possible if drain is not centered?

Does it cost more to install larger tile vs mosaic tile?

can you share a link to the tile cutter?

What leveling clip brand are you using bro?

I only say this because I care: At 7:15 when you have all the tile dust around your nose is kinda of messed up. Breathing that stuff in daily is definitely bad for your health. I'm an amatuer tiler who's done just the tiling for a couple houses, so I'm not breathing it in every day/ long term. I usually cut outside with some breeze, or use a sponge to gently allow some water to get a "wet cutting" effect. If you're a pro tiling and cutting potentially every day, maybe getting a high quality mask is a good way to go, but seriously man, don't let yourself get silicosis! Otherwise great vid and very helpful.

if you put the waste 45 to the til you have four 45 cuts

45sqft from nothing to pan to tiled?

What size leveling clips did you use? I'm about to do this myself and I'm a little stuck on how much material is lost to the wet saw cut and what size evening clips/grout lines to use. Thanks!

how big are those tiles

What size tile are those

Sure. All DIY guys have giant saws and scribes.

Could you have done those relief cuts with the tile cutter ?

I’m wondering what kind of tile it is? Is it a polished porcelain? And if so is that safe for a shower floor? Thanks

Good video but bro…polishing and grinding inside the house?? No bueno

What brand is that wet tile cutter?

What would you charge for this instead if mosaic? I'm trying to bid a job of this magnitude. Thanks in advance

seems very slippery first shower your in the splits LOLOL

Can you please tell me what state you’re in? I need someone to tile two bathrooms.

I assume when you do this type of shower floor this is the first thing you tile in the room. How do you plan the layout for the rest of the floor especially when you are doing a different offset, such as 30%. Thanks! I'm about to tile this in a schluter pan and was confused about the rest of the floor.

Are these polished or matte finished?

what grid polishing pad are you using?

Who found the Easter egg

Seems very slippery for a shower flor.

Why on earth would you spend that money on large tiles when you cut them down to smaller tiles.

Isn’t there a prettier way to do this

looks very slippery!! yikes!!

Large format tile in a shower is never a good idea because people slip fall and break their necks often in them
