You're going to be a UA-cam multi millionaire if you keep this up, especially if you go all out and explain bidding, pricing, managing difficult clients - the works. Another fantastic video. Love the geometric floor tile. wow.
Man that came out beautiful bro! And as for the title, yes marble is a bad idea in a shower, all it takes is a slip up in seal time and some bad water.
Awesome as usual. I have a customer who watch’s you guys. She said, where did you learn how to cut those fake grout lines? I bet from Lamberg. Lol Yup I sure did
@@saljablo2767 Not at all, I’m not embarrassed to learn new tricks from other pros. She actually appreciates things done right. Kinda nice, most people don’t care, just get er done. Lol
Great job like always, I've done a few of shower marble and I'm not a big fan, even with the 12x24 marble, I find natural stone in a shower wet area is always darker with soaking in water
I really enjoyed your video. Your explanations are great and to the point! That is a really small shower to have that bench. In my opinion, that "busy" marble will be out of style in no time, sort of like those brown "Tuscan" look tiles that no one wants any more.
the laser level shown that uses pins to attach to the wall, do you have a link for it? if it came with your level what model level is it? thank you for all the videos you do for us, Love them.
2 sincere questions. Was there no need for an uncoupling membrane on the floor? Why didn't you use 1/32 clips and wedges to help prevent lippage? Really enjoy and appreciate all your videos and admiring your top quality work. I'm always learning something new from watching your channel.
The stone tile he is using in this shower is much too small to use leveling clips. This guy is a real setter and knows how to install this material flat.
Uncoupling membrane is not necessary on concrete, most times it's used for a wood subfloor as it will have more movement. Uncoupling membrane is similar to using backerboard on a subfloor. Clips and wedges are not necessary either depending on the tile and if you've been tiling for a long time and do quality work, you can easily get no lippage while tiling. Also since marble is much softer than something like porcelain, it's possible the wedges could break the tile with the force of the clamping, especially since the tiles are smaller.
Yes unless you feel like sealing it up every year marble in a shower is bad it needs to breath and will soak up everything that hits it colored shampoos included 👀😅
Omg. The music score, stabila rbeam, great work. What an awesome vid. Holy fuck. Question: how thick can Schluter allset be applied to support floor tile?? Thanks.
@@LandbergTileTV copy that. My rigid started as a single project tool and turned into a business tool. 8 years later I'm replacing it. Deck is so bad that on a 24" rip I'm 3/4 off by the end of it. Multiple times spent squaring it but it just worn and a half way poor design imo on the wheels that ride the rail and allows deck wobble. Thanks for the reply and I'll give the Dewalt a go. 🤙🤙
@@LandbergTileTV Thank You. Does it matter whether its a 1/4" x 1/2" or a 1/2' x 1/2" as long as its 1/2" depth? I have wondered why they make different notch widths?
Does Pica indeed stays on tile or perhaps washes off while cutting? I know you did a review a while ago but was curious how does it stack up in real life. 👊 p.s. gotta love change of mind on the bench top 😵💫
bro you have to cut the very edges of the quartz seat so its flush with the marble L-cut pieces . if you know your marble walls finish at 1/2 inch, then take an angle grinder ( you can do this after you install the seat top) and go in at a 90 degree angle to the 2 long sides of top, but just at the very edge of quartz and make a cut so the edge will equal a half inch. i usually set my first few tile rows then plumb up to make a mark on the edge of seat top, this way the L-cut tile doesnt have a big grout joint around it. i know your re tiling the seat but for future. i also do something similiar when i make my own soap corner shelves, as i never imbed the very edge of the soap dish into the cut out wall gap and in that instance i make a notch at the very ends of shelf, so the last bit of the dish sits on top of tile and not in the groove... besides that it looks freaken killer. .... it sucks because i and others have said you should install seat top first, and now you cant get the sucker out....i know all of us can sit back and critic stuff we see and its really not right, but whenever i do these marble nitches with polished ends i personally think it looks better when your not looking at those polished edges straight on. its a lot harder but especially since you laid it out so perfectly with no L CUTS, i would of polished the front pieces or the field pieces instead of the inside nitch pieces, but that i guess is perhaps a matter of taste...i would of however probably kept the bottom nitch sill facing out like you have it and maybe over hung it about a quarter inch
4:07 would be cool for softer musak & you doing voiceovers throughout telling us what ya thinking when doing this/that cut, design, and so on…… Giving us a peak into your mind of processes and such, as (& I’m sorry for this) for me, I get “wee bit bored” listening to musak & watching time lapsed 2x-5x (whichever ya do if do) footage of you installing tile. I’d rather hear a story, tips/tricks, and what not of how things going instead (again sorry but being honest, & don’t have to do every vid, but would be awesome for above format to be one few times a month for vids: maybe even certain projects, like have an install that’s not a typical or “whatever”…but hope get the idea and POV). Anywho……thx for the vids and that hard work making and sharing your work day as tile contractor etc… Cheers✌🏻☺️
The false grout joints are genius, this series has been a nice change up regarding both setting materials and tile type. Excellent work!

That's genius what you did with the cuts on the sides of the niche
Marble is my hands down favorite type of tile.
Damn my friend! Whatever you are charging I am positive you have extremely happy customers. Great job.
Randomly came across these last 3 videos. Awesome. Subbed.
Love the tile on the floor
Awesome as usual. I have a customer who watch’s you guys. She said, where did you learn how to cut those fake grout lines? I bet from Lamberg. Lol

The white bench was a great design, it really made the shower POP.

Wondering what Dewalt laser level your using in this video? Looks like you can attach it to the wall wherever you want..
What kind of thinset are you using? Is that laticrete multimax or mapei ultra lite?
the laser level shown that uses pins to attach to the wall, do you have a link for it? if it came with your level what model level is it? thank you for all the videos you do for us, Love them.

Very profesional job! You make amazing work! Than's for shering us you knowlege !
Do you guys consult with the client on aesthetic decisions before proceeding? Great work!
Don't you get problems with staining down the road, with marble or can it be sealed ?
Yes unless you feel like sealing it up every year marble in a shower is bad it needs to breath and will soak up everything that hits it colored shampoos included 👀😅
it will also rust
i love marble - but even i would keep the white quartz top bench instead of tiling more grey marble on top of quartz
Same here
Like to see the hydroban board instead of the kerdi
Looks incredible as always. Just wondering if theirs any reason to not use a leveling system here?
We don't use them with small tiles
Omg. The music score, stabila rbeam, great work. What an awesome vid. Holy fuck. Question: how thick can Schluter allset be applied to support floor tile??
Thanks.
So you like the Dewalt over the Delta? I'm buying another one this week and am stuck on the two.
DeWalt is the best

Did not think marble can be score/snapped?
Also, exposed caulk, isn't it eventually going to look bad?
Would you use the Levtec tile levelling system on a slightly larger marble 6" x 18" & what size of notched trowel?
Yes I would and 1/2 inch trowel for sure!

Pica has a very fine marker if you're worried about washing off. Also they have different leads and wax type markers.

Good to know
I just did two marble showers. I guess Ill find out!
Not if you preseal it with drytreat and seal it again 3 days or more after grouting
hello
what's the model of your masterpiuma ?
I have the P3's and P5's

He has in a prior video
Good working
I'm tiles master
? How is 1/32 bigg enough to get sanded grout in there? 👍
🤔well FA grout is a very very fine sanded grout kinda like flour🤷♂️👍
All that marble will absorb moisture and cause issues down the road
No level clips this time??
🤣🤣🤣
please tell your customer tiling that seat was STUPID in my opinion 😬🤦♂️🤷♂️👍💰💰
You didn’t answer the question. Is installing marble a bad idea?
For shower pans yes
