Hey when I say tiling is easy I mean once you know the little tricks! Once I learned this method few years ago it was a huge unlock! More tips to come!
Tile the walls first is the way I was taught so when you look at it the floor edge is not showing unless you look down not straight at it and you did not say anything about pitch or how to cur around the drain
The key here to make it even easier on the tile is if you cut off the half that meets the edges and that way you don not have to put in the small cuts after that are very tideious
Such a beautiful thing. Man, you videos are changing my business. I didn’t know what to charge for full bathrooms so it ended up being about $3600 plus anything decorative-tile, vanity, faucets etc. For a 6x7.
I like how you use wood strips to make a template. Using something straight and solid would be nice when templating cuts for cutting 5’x10’ tiles. What kind of strips are you using?
I find it extraordinary that there don’t seem to be regulations that bathrooms have to be waterproof in America. The grouting between the tiles is not water proof, the surfaces will become damp. Here in sweden the entire bathroom has to be waterproofed (not the ceiling and about 2.2m up the walls in the shower, can’t remember exactly) before pouring concrete in the shower and laying/placing tiles. That way when water gets through the grouting it still runs down to the drain. When done properly damp is not an issue at all. It does, however, mean that if you want to change the tiles you have to tear out the whole bathroom and start again as you’ll likely damage the waterproof layer when removing the tiles.
@@ajallen178 so you sound like a pro, that’s awesome. Good job. But the way I see DIY and trades is a little different. I am also a pro, but in painting. 10+ years. But how you teach someone who just wants to learn it for DIY vs how you teach someone for professional is two different things. Learning to tile, paint, etc, is a craft. Honed over years. Why would someone who wants to DIY their bathroom take years of practice to do it? Doesn’t make sense. Is DIY as good as pro? No, no one is saying that. But when you, and others like you,throw around these dickhead comments it discourages the DIYers from trying to learn. Don’t gate keep. I would rather do a job in a new skill that takes me twice as long to do and only 90% quality than hire someone who can do it faster but 100% quality. For a couple reasons. 1. That’s how people learn. You can’t expect them to be pros overnight. 2. People like to learn on their own. It can be extremely rewarding, even if the quality isn’t as good as a pro. 3. People like you should be encouraging DIYers, not being jerks.
@@oldmanballs787 that video tells you nothing. I mean.., just learn how to tile. Plain n simple. Didn’t want to sound like a douche. It’s a bullshit video. But I understand what you are saying. Have a great day old man balls :)
In my opinion LFT on shower floor looks pristine with wide edge to edge linear drain, so there is no those awkward envelope cuts that form funnel with 4x4 drain. Good choice tough to use glass mosaic imitation on the floor as glass doesn’t have cons of natural stone which is porosity and absorbance of organic debris washed out of human bodies.
@@BlahBlahManYeah tell that to our clients... 60x60 in shower 1x1m. And when I cut them like pizza they don't want even look. Problem is to make slope. Coz always one edge sticks out for couple of mils.
OK, so maybe it’s just me… But I don’t understand how you can transfer a template from a sloped shower floor and then put it on a flat floor for cutting and it come out the same.🤔
Now I see why you were leek testing the pan, because it's your house. You there's going to be a bunch of wanna be remodelers that are going to expect a flood test. Thanks can't wait. honestly you should Test it but I generally use a liner and I don't even staple it till I pre-slope the floor.
Every time professionals see the tile work, they can pinpoint the DIY fault. It seems extremely tedious and difficult to keep it flat and placed evenly.
The only thing is I've been tiling for 30 years I don't know why guys do the floor first never made sense to me The guy who taught me that it for 40 years they learned an old school in Italy always do the floor last other than that it looks good
You realize that the mosaic isn't put up piece by tiny piece right? Well some are, but you're going to be paying up the ass for that! A majority of mosaic come in sections that are have about 25-40 of those small pieces attached to a flexible background that keeps them all in place.
@@maynardskunk7612 exactly, floors are one of the things people decide to change at times so it's better to do walls first and also to hide all the cuts on the walls and floors.
@@eddyr6141 no. You tile the floor first.. then cover with ram board. Hacks tile the walls first.. unless you use a ledger and do the bottom row after the floor
Hey when I say tiling is easy I mean once you know the little tricks! Once I learned this method few years ago it was a huge unlock! More tips to come!
What are you using for your template? Thanks
You haven’t learned all the basics yourself yet lmao
Tile the walls first is the way I was taught so when you look at it the floor edge is not showing unless you look down not straight at it and you did not say anything about pitch or how to cur around the drain
U are smart. Template very good idea 👍👋
Also, I generally leave the packaging on the mosaic tile. The plastic and cardboard surrounds keeps it a lot more stable during cuts.
Yup and keeps it from getting soaked cause some backer holds and some don’t
But how can you line up one tile mosaic to the next when you are measuring?
Having the wife help tile is what always works right?? 😉😉😉🤣🤣
These videos have been very helpful for my bathroom project. Thanks
another WINNI unlock to the next level ... love it
The key here to make it even easier on the tile is if you cut off the half that meets the edges and that way you don not have to put in the small cuts after that are very tideious
Thanks dude!
I'm just on the cusp of this shower pan tiling myself; also using small mosaics.
I'll stick around to watch you do the walls 😅
Nice 👍
Nice! What are you using to make your template? Where can I purchase
Such a beautiful thing. Man, you videos are changing my business. I didn’t know what to charge for full bathrooms so it ended up being about $3600 plus anything decorative-tile, vanity, faucets etc. For a 6x7.
I thought this was an asian guy talking
I hope that $3600 doesn't include materials. 'Client supplied' should be at the top of your scope.
Love the easy tricks!
Awesome!! Love ur channel.
Great content.
Thank you
Your work is awesome dude
Good job Good idea. Thanks for sharing this!
how did u get the slope? never done it myself
i tried this other day worked amazing
Ok except there’s lots of play in the Kerdi drain adapter so how did you determine where you set your cross pieces that locate the drain grate?
What did you use for the template? Material?
Explain more where the sticks should be in height please
That is genius excellent
Love the videos 👍
Nice tile saw
I'm interested to know more about that tile saw you're using..
Dude this is awesome
Nice saw
Great process
What's the name of that cutting tool?
What kind of wood did you use for the template
Dang. Great idea. The details are in the prep work.
Does that grey plastic around the drain allow water that has made its way under the tiles to drain?
What about the pitch for the water, was that tube pre paid with a pitch?
Good trick
Great idea. Makes sense.
That’s great
What tile cutter is that?
I like how you use wood strips to make a template. Using something straight and solid would be nice when templating cuts for cutting 5’x10’ tiles.

Where the heck are you using 5’ by 10’ tiles 😳

You make it look too easy brother. Why?!, cause you’re a beast!!!!💪🏼🤙🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼🏆🏆🏆🏆
This is a first for me. Dope concept
Dang ! How come I never thought about this !
What if the floor is sloped? Same thing?
Interesting
How is it cleaning this?
Just "assemble" the tile on the shower pan first and see what works best.
Or just learn how to actually tile

How do you create the slope for the floor to the drain?
The pan the tile it sitting on should have the slope
That’s exactly how it’s done!!
Doesn’t it need a drop to run the water out or you made a shower pool?
Do it with large format tiles?

Seems so easy
Bro you're so good I tried filming myself working and compared to you I sucked @$$ well done broski good craftsmanship too
I'm sorry I didn't read all the comments.) Where can I buy these wooden sticks? Thank you.
Next video: "How doctors sew fingers back on"
Now when you say flat surface you mean slightly pitched to the drain surface right?
Do you ground it ?
Grout is essential my friend. So yes after it dries over night you can grout it the next day.
Hi... Can I feature in my new project please?
What is the best temperature to install floor and wall tile in your shower ???
Room temp
Tiling is easy, that however made it look more difficult than it is
OK, so maybe it’s just me… But I don’t understand how you can transfer a template from a sloped shower floor and then put it on a flat floor for cutting and it come out the same.🤔
How do you do the slope? Thx
YEAH SHOW THAT
1" per 4'. Set your drain, draw a line on the wall accordingly, taper your mortar, done deal.
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter THANKS 💯👍👍👍
🤔 my tile guy for my shower made it at a little bit of a angle so the water drains ..
Yeah he probably pressed on the tiles a little more firmly going into the drain so it's at a slight angle.
Your pre- pitched slope takes care of the little bit of a angle of done correctly.
I have the same rubi rail saw. The thing is a surgical beast!
Model # & cost? Thx
Are you guys canadian. ?
Right can you educate me on the board on the walls it looks like sound proof acoustic board, why ? Great video
It's Laticrete Hydro Ban Board... It's a Felt backed waterproof backer board for tiling, like kerdi or prova board.
@@whitleeGTCS thank you now I know. Great video.
@@dilligaf2386 it's not my video, but you're welcome!
Donde t out that type of tile on second floor baths, they are prone to leak
Good tile setters know how to use a tape measure
Mine would be done by the time you cut the tile with the wrong saw
they make a dry tile saw blade now dude. gitownit!
Just use the shower floor as xour template.
SOLID
Never tiled a shower before but you didn’t show the steps before.
Now I see why you were leek testing the pan, because it's your house. You there's going to be a bunch of wanna be remodelers that are going to expect a flood test. Thanks can't wait. honestly you should Test it but I generally use a liner and I don't even staple it till I pre-slope the floor.
Thank you again!!
That’s unnecessary, since you are tiling your walls over your floor
Only problem is green board is not legal. But it might be in Mexico. Lol 😂
Every time professionals see the tile work, they can pinpoint the DIY fault. It seems extremely tedious and difficult to keep it flat and placed evenly.
Another level shower for water to sit in and not drain...
Yeah doing walls before floor I hate Haiving to work over the floor already laid
The only thing is I've been tiling for 30 years I don't know why guys do the floor first never made sense to me The guy who taught me that it for 40 years they learned an old school in Italy always do the floor last other than that it looks good
Laying the mosaic tile on the floor was no big deal but putting it on the wall and keeping gaps is difficult the weight is alotshow me a trick
You realize that the mosaic isn't put up piece by tiny piece right? Well some are, but you're going to be paying up the ass for that! A majority of mosaic come in sections that are have about 25-40 of those small pieces attached to a flexible background that keeps them all in place.
No cement on the walls??? I lay tile for 34 years here at LA..I prefer 100% cement to do the bathrooms
This is crazy town bud just start at the drain
Next bathroom is going to be like this
Most of the time I see a shower floor that's had leak it's mosaic tile.
Is it because more grout increases permeability ?
@@oldmanballs787 grout joints will flex under weight and there's a ton of grout joints with mosaic
So it’s more effective to waste your time on a template. Then actually putting chalk lines on the floor, and going from there.
Penny rounds feel so much better on your feet rather then those. Just saying
That's how I do it bro. Good shit. Tile mechanics have the hardest job on the site
I just like to read the comments
Buull shst show how to cut drain trim
Why so much wasted material?
Doesn’t look like there is much pitch to that floor you will have puddles in the shower
Take the long way home ! Why why
Always tile walls first
No you don't.
I always have done the walls first that way you don't chance ruining the floor tile in the process

No? You tile the floor first. Noob
The weight requirement is why Trump never does this.
Yolo
You may do tile but you are not a legit tile installer. Tiling is easy when you are doing easy jobs.
Bro way to much time to tile a shower floor that way too many cuts start full off your back wall and then put the cuts against the curb come on bro
I thought it was an asian guy talking
Tiling is is 😂😂😂 ok mr big shot if it’s that easy why isn’t anyone doing it
That's the ugliest, overused, tile I've ever seen!
