Wifey wants a backsplash! I'm going to start this project by watching this video and I thank you for this information. No need to view another. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the feedback Jeffery. Let me know how the install goes!
One video 3 minute long answered every question I was thinking about in my head about this particular type of tile and type of installation. Very good!
Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad it was exactly what you needed.
@@508homes Yeah there is nothing, anything I cannot repair or build and I have tiled many times in the past. I have not although tiled with this type of backed tile before, my brain was treating it like I was trying to fit a square into a circle for some reason. All the pieces of the puzzle came into alignment when watching a video like this. Concise, to the point, no comment required just thought I would give you some extra credit here for a great video on the topic. Happy Holidays.
That’s why I love UA-cam as a sharing community to help us all out!
What an awesome video mate, saved me a lot of headache on how to cut with a grinder in a safe way, legend 🙌🤟🤙
Thanks Gary! Happy DIYing!
Way more useful than the factory channel tutorials.
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful.
One of my favorite phrases after 40 years of finish carpentry...'Nobody is going to see that!' By not having to remove casing, stool and skirt, adding jamb extensions, etc., etc., you hit a home run in my book!
Thanks for the feedback David!
These types of videos are the good stuff. "How to cut tile not using $400 equipment" 1. Grab a grinder, 2. Make your cuts and take it easy. 3. Apply your tile. That's it video done. Answered every last question I had in technically 1 minute. Off to amazon for a grinder but I have porcelain tile so Some diamond blades for my osc tool maybe? Nah gonna do it 508 style.
Thanks for positive comment! Hoping for victorious tiling in your future.
Nice! And exactly the tutorial I needed, I just got some glass tile for my bathroom and darn near the same edging you showed. I've never used it before and this was perfect. Thank you!
Awesome! I cut the edging with my miter saw and it produced a nice clean cut.
Great video! It doesn't seem so intimidating after watching you do this with ease. Thx👊🏽
Thanks! Great project for DIYers
Doing a backsplash job & needed to no how to cut the backsplash without a wet saw..very helpful 👌💯👍
Glad I could help you out with the video! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
✨🤩 Wow! This looks really beautiful! I love the counter and backsplash colors!
Thanks Allison! Always buy one sheet first to take home and test with your counter to make sure it looks good.
Thank you for this video. I just bought that exact tile and it will be going around the fireplace upgrade I am doing. Ordered the diamond blades as well.
Thanks Allen! That sounds like it’ll be a fun project
Thanks brother! that was actually a very informative video! and your backsplush choice looks really nice.
Thanks Nuke! We bought one sheet of about four different types and brought them home to hold up next to counter and cabinets before selecting a style.
Thanks for the help! I'm actually removing this type of tile and adding a new one. Good work!
Awesome Carli! Let me know if you run into any issues
As soon as I saw those tile nippers in action I was like "Yup, i'll go with that" lol
Super easy to use and a great time saver!
That is well illustrated.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks to you .I just told my husband not to buy new the machine .Hand tools is good idea. Thanks again
Glad I could save you some money on your project!
Best video so far.
Appreciate the feedback!
this is awesome! I really appreciate this, going to start my project soon.
Thanks Derek! Let me know how it goes
This worked great for redoing the shower/bathtub of my kid's bathroom. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfiuHoZJo3bgdVPFRxQ-iqPpfbEHl2cYt I didn't like the guide, so I took it off. I just used a fine tipped sharpie on the tile and followed that line. It does make a wet mess, and once I started looking like I wet myself I started wearing a towel and apron while cutting. The blade it came with worked great until we wore it out. It was better than the replacement one we bought. I tried looking for just their blade, but failed. Not really for larger tiles unless you stack stuff on either side to support the tiles. Anyway, would definitley buy again.
Thanks so much!
thank you! great video
Thanks Gina!
Thank you very much. learn from you great thing today.
Thanks Anthony!
Excellent! Nice n simple...
Thank you sir
Thanks for tip looks great
Thanks Jose!
WOW! No one is teaching this technique. Not so intimidating. 👏👏👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks! Just about to install glass backslash and was wondering how to make the receptal cut. Now I know I can use a diamond grinder blade which I have.
Easiest tool for the job, as long as you feel comfortable using it.
Great video
Thanks I’m glad it was helpful!
You answered a lot of questions I had concerning the installation of glass tile. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the feedback Hoosier! Glad it could help
Looking good!
Thanks!
Dam dude super helpful!!
Thank you for the feedback! Helpful was the goal.
thank you
You're welcome
Tile nippers! Never seen that tool before! Very cool.
There’s a variety of styles that each serve a unique purpose.
@@508homes Very interesting.
Hi what's the name of the tool?
They are glass tile nippers. The one I use in the video is from a company called QEP.
I liked the flashing on the shower, that's cool, especially if you have super thin tile. I just finished a back splash in my kitchen, If the glass tile is 1/4" a dry diamond blade or scoring type cutter does not do nearly as well as a wet saw with a glass blade. Long cuts when you are only taking off a little is nearly impossible using a cut off wheel. I am a mason, I love the cut off wheel and I own a wet saw but I don't like to get it out unless I am doing a big job. I use the cut off wheel to fabricate stone for finish work, but couldn't get it to do shit with glass, it bounces too much even with a smooth diamond blade.
Thanks for the info and review! I agree, a wet saw is the best tool to use for the job. Just trying to help people who don’t want that large of a tool in their garage or want to find a cheaper way to finish the project.
How long have you been a mason for? Looks like an awesome fireplace in your picture.
@@508homes My father laid block for over 60 years. I learned from him beginning at 8 years old, I am now 60. I broke my back when I was 19 and stopped doing it professionally. I only did side work with and for my dad. I also have done masonry work for friends and myself, such as outdoor fireplaces and bbq's. My back problems only allow me to do certain type of work, I cannot lift any real weight.
@@carycase5563 sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Thanks.
Thanks for the view!
For the bullnose made by Custom Building products, what size do you use to fit over the tile vs. butting up to it which requires a grout line?
I used 3/8” which fit for my tile. Always double check the depth of your tile first.
WOW ! MY SISTER AND I LOVE THE BACKSPLASH AND THE EASY ,CLEAR TUTORIAL. YOU MADE IT LOOK EASY. WHAT IS THE INFO ON THE TILE. NAME BRAND ETC. THANKS
“Eros 4 Tan Mosaic Glass Tile”.
I will work on getting a link in the comments soon. I recommend buying one sheet to take home and hold up to your cabinets/countertops before buying all the supply that you need!
Fantastically helpful in easing fears for the novice, thank you. But how do you address inside corners? Do you just sort of grout over the imperfectly-nipped sheet edges where they meet?
Great question Mia. Have the two sheets overlap in the corner. In other words, have one sheet go all the way to the corner without any angle cut on it. Then place a clean sheet on the other side and push up flush with the first sheet of tile. This will eliminate much of the grouting issues that I’m sure you are thinking about in your head right now. I hope this helps!
Any advice on a name of a diamond blade that will slice through the glass, stone and metal in this tile? Bought this same tile and really like this video to do a project without a wet saw. I will buy a 4 1/2" angle grinder...but the blade to use, I'm stumped
Good question! I have links in the description to all the tools I used including a dewalt diamond blade. Hope that’s helpful.
Where o WHERE do I get the metal edging that will fit 1/4 thick glass tile? Its not at lowes or h.d.
I have a link in the description for 3/8 thick metal edging. You can click that link and search for a larger size. I think generally when it gets to a thicker size, most go with a quarter round or bull nose edging of some kind.
Good luck with the project!
Where specifically did you get your schluter from, I can’t seem to find any that fit inside?
I got mine from my local Home Depot! Thanks for the question.
Would a dremel work with diamond bit
I have not personally used one before but I don't see why not? Still much cheaper than getting a wet saw and great for small/precision cuts! Here's a link to one that you might find helpful. amzn.to/3sYcL5l
Is your tile 8mm thick? I tried inserting tile I am installing into the groove of the edge trim and it doesn't come close to fitting. Your tile looks much thinner than 8mm.
I honestly forget since this was a couple years ago. There should be ample options on Amazon for other sizes of the edge trim if you spend some time looking through them.
How did you cut such a beautiful metal edging? I am terrified of messing this part up for my upcoming tile job
I used my mitre saw which can easily cut through metal like this and put a nice clean edge and 45 degree angle on the cut. You can use hand clippers designed for metal but will have to measure your 45 degree angle first.
@@508homes don't use snips. Youll never get an exact or clean cut on a piece of metal like that. You can buy a mitre box with a 45 degree slit and use a hand saw with a metal cutting blade. Cleaner cut and more exact.
I agree that a mitre box or mitre saw provides the cleanest cut. I always try to give people cheaper options if they want to save some money.
Great video- may I ask what brand and style tile that is? It is an absolutely beautiful color.
That is a glass/metal mosaic tile sheet that I got from the Home Depot a couple years ago. I provided a link to a very similar product in the description section of the video. Go click that link!
@@508homes one other question (well maybe more than one)- I have very similar tile as what you installed.
1. Would I need to use spacers (I have 1/8 inch spacers for where I will be applying grout), and if so at what points?
2. Did you seal your tile before grouting? What product did you use.
I’m looking to do my first big house DIY project with a tile backsplash in the laundry room. Thanks!
@@heartgod Sorry for the late reply! I did not use spacers when I did this job and typically don't with these backsplash sheets. When doing backsplash with subway tile or something similar I will use spacers.
2. I seal my tile after grouting so that I can easily use the grout haze remover if needed and get everything the way I want it before sealing it all up.
Good luck on your project I wish you the best!
sir, your product find very nice.
i would like to inform you that i have developed a actual sheet glass tile.
which can be mounted on bathroom,kitchen side walls with cement.it can be produce with verious colours and designe.
l hope for your reply .
thanks.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Where did u buy the tile?
Linda, this tile specifically was from Home Depot but I believe is an older type that they do not offer anymore. I provided a link in the description to a very similar version that you can buy online. I hope that helps
Link for the tiles
Is not the exact match in this video.
Tiles is different on Amazon
You are correct. Sorry about that- those are the closest to the actual that I could find. I believe the tile I used for this video is discontinued.
What hand grinder do you use?
And blade
I’m using a kobalt grinder in Thai video. Have had it for years and recommend it to anyone in the market!
It’s a dewalt diamond blade wheel- best bang for your buck!
Where did you purchase that specific tile. I like the metallic pieces in it
I bought this specific tile at Home Depot but am unsure if they have the EXACT type still. If not, they will certainly have something VERY SIMILAR.
You left a cracked tile on one of the sheets? Shoddy work my friend. No true professional would do that.
Where do you see a cracked tile? Thanks anyway for watching and leaving me some feedback!
@@508homes ua-cam.com/video/6zIvMksCiBs/v-deo.html
Adds character, pro
I'm stuck on the 45 cuts
I recommend marking with a speed square, clamping down solid, and using the grinder. Work slowly and methodically
Technically that's not how you install the metal profile. Schluter has a tutorial on UA-cam how to do it correctly but I'm sure it will hold up fine.
It holds up fine the way I installed it but I agree there are many ways to do it!
Thanks for the comments and the views Michael.
Oops, you broke a tile. @ 2:57 it's dangling.
Doesn't work on thick glass
What would you recommend on thicker glass??
good thing its a video on backsplash
