Mosaic tile installation in shower by tile man mike 

Wow, my staff from Kosago :D

Yoo ur crazy bro aha

Only if you want to do things the right way. The easiest is not always the right way

Always leave bottom row off wall tile and install after 👍 Just did one yesterday and always turns out awesome and clean looking

@@gunslinga7077 he's not crazy at all. In the video, Mike was replacing floor tile, but if he was tiling the wall too, he would have done the floor first and then lapped it with the wall tile.

@@CPT-Blacktooth Yep. I put a ledger up and stack my first row right above the skirt row. I mortar in that first row, the floor, the floor tiles on the outer edge of the curb, and the curb with one batch of thin-set. Then I let all that cure and put some plastic down on the pan and curb to protect it while I finish the rest of the wall. It's so much easier and you don't have to worry as much about dropping thin-set. The last part should always be the skirting. Cut your skirt pieces to fit, put a bead of silicone at the edge and then back butter the last final pieces. Viola.

You can adjust the height on the square drains as well because it sits on top of the Spud and you just turn it till it's the right height plus the cut time takes a lot less time than a round drain

@@michaelbourg2281 , that would be the. Kerdi system ??? I understand that type but the Otey, pvc screw in type would and could lock you in. I can cut the round drains just as easy, I've been doing tile for over 35 year's. Old timer.lol

It's also more waterproof to do floor first and then lap it with the wall tile. I always put a bead of silicone (same color as grout) at the base as well.

Always wall tile over the floor tile this is bad

Do you flatten out the notch after like in the video or do you set on top of notch?

I like to use a 3/16 inch notch trowell with quarter-inch Mosaic and that gives me sufficient mortar coverage over my substrate and the back of the tile if I use a small v-notch mosaics have a tendency not to have good coverage and break loose. This method is widely used by pros all over the country

How do you know that and what is the reasoning behind it?

@@nevinkuser9892 Any wall board, even cement board, will wick moisture upwards. That will cause mold.and other issues. The.wall board must not touch the pan mortar. Leave gap, and only wall tile will come down to meet floor tile, then seal the interface.. Look it up on RU-vid.

Because if there is cracks water goes under tile not on top of it

@@nevinkuser9892 It's simple lapping. Think about the physics of the water. It's coming down the wall and dropping on top of the floor tile instead of on a joint. If that joint fails, water will leak under the tile and the system will fail.

It is if you use a waterproof grout, ie swimming pools!

Besides, grout is not waterproof or vapor-proof. Grout is not waterproofing.

😂

I always leave the first row on wall for after floor tile has been installed, then you tile to the floor tile

How do you do that if replacing floor tiles only?

Boy I sure love all these replies and how it gets under your skin but I've been setting tile for 40 years and in 40 years I've never ever had a leak in my showers. I'm certified by the ntca as a master tile instructor so quit with all the hating. This was a very unusual project request via a customer to have balanced tiles around the drain, so we were only able to barely move that full tile under that wall tile. Customer wanted that tile balanced around that drain And gave us those full size tiles around the edge. Pan is sloped so water is managed. there is pebble rock around the drain to keep the mud from getting into the weep holes Just quit the hating

Hey buddy I've heard that a few times I sure wish I had his success

It's Rambo...😂

Stallone bad actor as he is bad instalore

Can you please tell us the reason for floor being tiled before the wall in a shower?

I am a Certified Master Instructor with the NTCA. 39 years and close to 1 million s.f Bam!

You’re a douche

You don’t understand how a mud pan works, doesn’t matter
