Properly Installing Carrara Tile for a Shower! 

Appreciate the nice comment brother!

Appreciate the comment, I'll keep the videos coming and we are still learning also every day! We never stop learning 👊

Thank you brother, work hard blue collar support!

Appreciate the comments! 🙏

work harder nobody cares! 👊

Thanks, it's a must with carrara!

Thanks! Will do!

Heck yeah Anthony! I appreciate the comment brother, I'll keep them coming!

You got this! 👊

Yes sir, thank you!

Thanks, will do!

no coffee here, running in the morning gives you energy all day long! 👊👊👊

Purchase extra tile and lay 5 or so stacks around the bathroom walls. You simply need to hold each tile up to find matches. It takes extra time, but well worth it.

@@LandbergTileTV Thanks for you response. Good idea

Well shoot, I'll have to shout out mikebsexy from R2 construction on the next vid! 👊👊👊

@@LandbergTileTV lol! You do great work man either way we learn and try some of the things you do all the time!

Appreciate that

Will be up this weekend! 👊

Our Montolit usually cuts super clean. We snap it and hit the edge with out 50 grit diamond pad. No need for a tile saw other than the notches (Iq dustless). We cleaned up all non buried cut edges. The grout line behind the niche is necessary if you want to follow the 50% offset layout. (full below the niche)

Thanks 👍

For sure Mike! I don't get on IG very much, only to post once a week and yeah, I'll stay tuned brother! 👊

Yes sir I do, I added the link in the video description. It's awesome!

estás confundido pero eso está bien. Sé lo que estoy haciendo. impermeabiliza los agujeros de los tornillos con la banda kerdi después de quitártelo

It doesn't matter with a seal system like Schluter. We keep watershed in mind, but at the end of the day, the bench is 100% waterproof with a pitch and slope outside the shower.

Yup! There were a lot of print re-peats. It's usually like that for us and manufacturers.

band that puncture son!

All set is our go to, super strong bond!

@@LandbergTileTV Awesome. Thank very much!!!

3 bags

3.5 including the prep (waterproofing with band, Schluter pan, curb etc.)

I'm confused brother, what are you saying?

@@LandbergTileTV , Did you back butter the tile?, I didn't see you do it

@@twoserve2449 backbutter is a must brother, we backbutter subway tile these days.

@@LandbergTileTV , If you did, I apologize, I just didn't see you do it on the video!

I noticed that you used the 1/2" notch trowel, but why did you opt to just back butter the tile and not back comb it as well? I thought standard practice when using a lippage/leveling system was to always comb both the tile and the substrate to ensure there's enough thinset behind it. I've used the RIDGID system for a few years now, and if I did not get enough mud under the tile by backcombing it as well, the spacers have enough force that they've pulled the tile completely out of the thinset. That said, I have also had issues in several areas with excessive squeezed out as well. Still learning. Still improving. Any advice helps. Thank you.

anything is possible

how did we do it wrong?

@@LandbergTileTV To each his own.......

What do you mean? Foam or the tile?

@@LandbergTileTV tile is great but we float , I'm a GC and I have a guy that can float Walls faster than you can turn around twice compared to the orange stuff.

@@patrickjohnson7801 that's awesome, never want to lose a guy like that.

@@LandbergTileTV he also does work for a GC in Redondo Beach that has flown him to Colorado and Vergina.

@@patrickjohnson7801 dang, he must kick some ass with his shower floats!
