Very cool. I like that you don't come off as an expert, but instead, admit you are sharing what you learned. I like that you obviously take pride in the knowledge gained, and would certainly hire you because you obviously care about the details, and that really is where the devil lies. Good job sir!
Great info! Thanks so much! This helps explain the pricey quotes for porcelain slab installation, even though the material is the same as regular porcelain tiles.
Great advice. My wife found 4'x4' tile at floor and decor and wants to use them to do backsplash in our remodeled kitchen. I don't want to mess with it myself. I guess I need to find someone with your ability in my area of Florida to help us out. I will make sure they know what they are doing. Thanks for the advice.
Yes please be careful guys with porcelain tile. I was installing a 2'x2' tile about 3 weeks ago, my suction cup failed, it fell and broke and cut the tendon in my thumb.
Great video! Details of installation from a craftsman... priceless. I am a GC with lot's of custom home experience, but I have a new challenge (new for me)... a client who wants a porcelain slab countertop with a "waterfall" island end. They also want zero-grout joints. I've never done a "waterfall" and I have a few questions on how to blend the countertop nosing with the visible edge of the waterfall. If this is something you are willing to discuss, I'll send you a sketch to illustrate the issue. The slabs the client like are not too big... 30" x 60", so easy to handle.
Thanks for getting the word out on porcelain slabs. If you need any detailed tool reviews make sure to check out what Ive put out. Many of the Rubi tools have been reviewed.
Super good video on this man thanks. I have a bathroom I put my guys on and the clients want these. You have any install videos of the process? This will be our first large tile. Saw them at floor and decor too and thought they were bad ass.
Have I got something you are going to love. I installed a 7’6” x 7’4” single slab backsplash. By myself, in less than three hours. You will make bank doing this. And not a single need for special equipment.
Great video, for slabs on walls are crack-isolation membrane ever recommended to reduce the chance of a slab crack after installed (Aquadefence, Redguard, etc)?
I’m about to tile it bathroom with 3’ x 6’ tile. It’s only a quarter inch thick and it has a good quarter inch to 3/8 of an inch bow in the middle. Is that something I can try to flatten or would the tile just snap when I try flattening it since it’s so thin
no reason to go this big and it lost all it cost effectiveness with all the overcomplicated installation. I have a feeling this trend wont be around for long.
I've done 2 slab jobs and I'm never touching them again. A complete and utter high risk nightmare. I've recently priced a slab job on house that is being built on the condition that I get slabs in before internal walls go in.
Tile is a luxury product, and large tile is extra luxury. After it catches on in high-end builds then moderate builds will follow. The trend has been bigger and bigger for decades, so I don’t see it stopping now.
