Thank you!
Hugo Correa can you get this tile at Home Depot?
Hi Carla! No, you can get this tile in ‘Tile and Decor”. Greetings!😊👋🏻
Wow, so beautiful!
Did you use space between?
What tape of cement you use , premixed?
Will you use GROUT ?
Impressive work and excellent explanations! I'm doing 4"x47" tomorrow and am going to attempt no grout installation. By design the porcelain tile does not have any room for grout. I hope this works! My first time laying tile.
Thanks for putting information on the laser level you use! Great job! Nice explanation!
Thanks, I like to share as much as possible so you can have more information on your hands.
Awesome job thsts the way you do flooring
I used to always back butter until i realized with the right mortar, mixture and trowel i get 100% coverage without back buttering and i can use that time and energy to check level, layout, etc and ensure a beautiful floor👍 i only back butter if im not getting full coverage😎
Yiu are wrong yiu back butter all floor tiles ask any real professional
Great Job and some excellent tips. Thanks for posting.
Everyone who is commenting that he is doing it wrong, why are you even watching if your an expert? It looks very beautiful! Are you in Phoenix, Arizona? I would love to hire! :)
Thank you, I am in north Carolina
Nice job. Good too see someone aet these witbout the leveling spacers besides me. Real tile setters dont need to get rid of ledging.
you have to backbutter all tiles you did it in some and failed on alot of them, baseboards should be removed and leave a 1/8 gao for expansion, the tiles should be 12/24/36 off set pattern.
yea i can't believe they are even showing this on youtube for others to copy wrongly, and acting like they are doing a good job
why did you leave the mop boards (skirting boards) in place. I guess you better hope they never have to replace those boards
Will you do grout after ? I don’t see the gap for grout. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Looks beautiful!!!
Were any field movement joints put in? I think TCNA recommends every 25 feet max in any direction.
Can you send me a link for this exact tile used , Thanks in advance
no grout? no back butter, no detra?, no leveling?
Yes to all! No issues whatsoever!
Hello this is nice video just wondering I don’t see spacer on the tile
I personally love the way you laid it out! I plan to do a 25% offset back and forth pattern with my wood plank tile. I love the idea of having the tiles super close together, but since I'm not a pro I plan to use a leveling system with 1/16" spaces for ultra-thin grout lines. I think your project was beautifully done.
This video is wrong yiu never ever bud tiles like that ask any manufacturer
AGUANTE CORREA!!!! Un CRACK para poner piso..
Just curious, why don’t you back butter the tiles before laying them?
Should the installers be leaving the thinset sitting on top of laid tile overnight? Our installers did that and now our wood tile planks have dried thinset all over the place. We are making them clean it busy now they’re having to sand it and I feel like that’s making the tile more dull. Should they have been cleaning the thinset off as they were laying it? Sometimes there large chunks just sitting on top of and they left it over night.
Fantastic! You did a great job you guys! That is a lot of work, and you have patients and it does look nice and level and straight! It is a beautiful floor, thank you for sharing Hugo!
Yes, 1/16"
That laser tool is amazing.
I know, saves a lot of time
How do you not get lippage ? Most of these planks have alot of warpage
I understand your concern, in this case the tiles are hight quality and the warpage was not a the issue, using big trowel patterns help to avoid leapage
Even though I disagree with the layout you guys are really neat workers
hakthemonsta thank you very much
How can you be sure that by slightly pressing the tile by hand you have full adhesive coverage? I noticed that when you removed a tile adhesive trowel lines seem intact. I am currently installing mine 170 x 20 cms and its a headache to prevent lippage
It is a very hard process, there are always tile leveling systems that can be used. Thank you for watching this video
So... no spacers used between the tiles? Are you just butting them against each other directly?
Hey Hugo, was it the customer who wanted the floor laid in a brick bond fashion?
I lay lots of timber look tiles and have never to date, laid one this way, I lay it in a staggered joint fashion so it looks like a proper timber floor, not trying to be picky just wondering why it was laid this way.
Just Flicking the manufacturer calls for this type of pattern
Wow never do it like that random all the time🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like that there is no millimeter spacing between each tile. What is the reason others have millimeter spacing between each tile?
No spacing = no grout
If you grout it, it will eventually come off.
Use 1/18. Prism grout is great. It’s true to color and it doesn’t brake. If it brakes theirs probably movement on the tiles (bad installation/ or bad preparation) not sure why they didn’t use spacers. You might feel the imperfection of the tiles since their not straight.
Is there any kind of waterproofing you need to do without putting in Grout between the tile?
Outstanding work.
Should have staggered tiles by 3.not I half. Grout lines same every other tile?
Good point, they look beautiful, and after so many years no problems!
Amazing work man . Awesome job on the walk through as well!!
So ho do you cut them if you need to cut any for round corner/stairs
Looks like you butted the tile direct with no spacers. Am I correct what I’m seeing?
How do you feel about tile over tile installation? Let’s say very secure flat tiles over concrete
Thank you.
My pleasure
Just out of curiosity, i have similar tile im trying to use for the front of the house, How come you didnt use spacers? is it necessary? Thank you.
Hugo, what about the grout? It seems like you just butted the tiles up right next to each other and didn’t leave any room for the grout. Help me understand. Did I miss something?
In this particular case you use unsanded grout
What is best material so it won't pop or break in the future
thank you
Is it the normal protocol to install the baseboard before the tile?
So you can do plank tile without grout lines, everything i have read and saw says that you need the grout for expansion and unevenness that you will get in the floor and tiles themselves. I would love to do my floor without grout lines. How has this held up over time?
You deff have to. This guys nuts
@@GardenHood yeah lol, no back butter on a 36 inch tile and no grout joint spacing. I'd be surprised if this sht job hasn't tented up by now
You need guidelines. You don’t want shirt cuts or uneven cuts.
hi what kind of cement use for attach the porcelain tiles?
Do I need to put spacers??
So beautiful 👌🏼
I notice that you did not use any spacer. can you do that? yes or no
Yes, tiles are not exactly the same so there is always a little space
@@HugoCorrea You don't know what you are doing!
WOW i'm just getting into tiling but I'm not seeing any self level system being used and not much to any back buttering going on, also how do you know your spacing is correct without spacers. have been using the tilemaster system and everything is great.
Well 20 yrs ago no one used self leveling kits. If the floor was really bad we would float it. We only use leveling kits with LFT because some of the tiles come bowed. Always use a 1/2" throwel if the tile is 18" or larger. As far as backbuttering, I agree most of the time.
I would have expected you to use a tile leveling system for these long tiles, to prevent lippage.
That is my question, but then the tiles will not be against each other
They shouldnt be against each other. Wheres the grout?
And put thin set on the floor.
Hi Hugo,
Do you still have to use grout on between the tiles or they stay the way it is?
Thanks nice work.
This is where I believe Hugo made a huge mistake you never but up tiles. You always put a grout joint in. Check any tile manufacturer.
What kind of tile installer works bent over like that
Why didn't you use spacers in between tiles?
So wrong joints should not line up every other tile. Must be lay 1/3 .plus you have to back butter each tile. Guaranteed not enough coverage. At lease he tape the joints. But I bet he did not thinset it down to floor. Everybody wants to be a tile man.
Ask This Old Tile Man please watch the “ how to prepare subfloors before tiling” back buttering Tile’s does not guarantee that you full coverage, you need a flat surface before You tile. Thank you for looking at how to install tiles
If you look at the joints in the video, they break at about the 1/3 mark of the tile, which is the proper way to do it to minimize lippage. Just because the joints line up every other tile instead of every third tile doesnt mean it isnt a proper third set, just a different pattern. Btw, backbuttering helps with transfer, not coverage. Proper coverage can only be achieved by putting enough mud on the floor and making sure the floor is flat, then making sure you collapse the notches. Everyone wants to be a tile man.
Everyone can be a tile man. I'm sure the first time you laid tile, it was not perfect.
Not to mention the amount of Kiln release on the back of those planks I can't imagine that staying down too long without buttering not to mention no grout joint
It’s still 1/3 though dumbass. Should have back buttered though
Why didn’t you back butter n use underpayment?
Seems your coverage doesn’t get close to 80%
The surface was very leveled and some were back butter, you need to lift the tiles from time to time to check for the coverage. Thanks for watching
Is it better to to go without grout spacers between the pieces? I notiiced you didnt put any in.
NO
@2:44 it appears you installed a tile without any more on the floor? Then appeared to use no pressure when installing it, what is the reason behind this
?? you are right
Because he is a back and a journey men
You could have added a 3rd or 4th different row in there instead of two rows of the same pattern
No tile spacers ?
Where is the spacer?
Donde puedo encontrar el video para poner las hojas de cemento antes de poner el piso?
Alejandra Garcia en la carpeta de pisos de mi canal, gracias por ver mis ideos
how do you identify high and low spots and at what point do you decide to use self leveling material to level the floor?
T lock. Use them. Trust me
levels and lasers
no tile levelling clips???
FYI to the DIYers. Wood plank tile is supposed to mimic a wood floor. Does a wood floor have grout lines? NO. We hired someone to do our bedroom and they did grout lines. It looks awful. We have since done the other 2 bedrooms ourselves without grout and it looks like a wood floor.
That was your choice, but ALL floor tiles should have grout if you want a professional finish and not a DIY finish
do you not or ever use these levelling systems ?
Yes, I will be uploading more videos about the process, they are very convenient.
Go to www.tilingsystemsusa.com for the products I use
Sorry. I had to get out once I saw the guy walking on recent installation lol. Wtf
How would I pattern this on a 8 x 68 porcelain tile? Do I have to cut it 1/3 of it? Which is 22 inches ? How would you pattern this?
This is a 8x36
@@HugoCorrea that wasn’t the question I know it’s a 8 x 36.
Looks good but you didn’t back butter the tile at all
After you lay the tiles like that (next to each other) do you use anything to close the gap between them where grout would normally go?
How come you're not butter the back of the tile.
No back butter ???
If you put tile down prior to cabinets and you have a water damage your asking for trouble. If the floor has to be removed due to severe water damage / CAT 3 / sewage your cabinets will also have to come out in order to get to the floor. Very hard to dry floors under cabinets. Obviously cat 3 you wouldn’t but if it’s a clean water loss you would attempt (ETES and tenting).
NO grouting???
A big flaw in your installation that I noticed is that you do not butter the backside of the tile which you should.
Thank you
Hi, what’s the name and color of the tile you are using
Hello! The information is on the answers section in the comment pinned, please take a look to the them. Thanks for watching!😊👋🏻
How come you are not back buttering the tile?
A debatable point
@@HugoCorrea Any call backs with them coming loose after years?
Large wood plank tile
Not back buttering those planks...?
So far so good
I have laid tile before but not planks. How do you start to lay them? Do you do one whole row first, straight down the room? Or start to stagger one row across the width of the room?
barbararodriguez7 stagger them at 1/3 of the tile size, look for the more noticeable areas of the room and make sure the big pieces are exposed on those walls
Always back butter.
Thank you, what thickness you add to the tile, do you measure the amount or just enough to cover the entire piece?
It's payed out wrong! , you didn't stager the 3rd row
It may look good on video, but I can tell you this is not a good install. porcelain and especially long planks that have a slight bow needs back buttering unless you will not get proper coverage, even with a half inch trowel and especially without pressing them in. You guys arent even pressing them in because your trying to keep from getting lippage.....also you need a bit more space in between as a proper grout joint....not good guys and imo a leveling system is a must with planks
Thank you for the comment
u r so right,tile laid wrong,should have staggered the pattern, looks better
Did you use grout?!
Yes, although there are small gaps you need to close them
What about grouting?
Yes you want tongeout even these small spaces to avoid dirt between
no grout ?
Yes, sanded grout
im feeling dizzy in first few minutes too much movement
Why do I feel so uneasy with no grout line on cemented tiles?
I have no idea😆
@@HugoCorrea You should. I tell you why . Its a common practice with natural stone , not ceramic or porcelain. I Thought a professional would know!
You do not back butter the tiles
Salmon Hunter if the mortar is mixed on the suggested way you don't need to, from time to time lift the tiles up and see how good is the mixture, thank you for watching my videos
This is the wrong way to install plank tile. You must back butter and use levelers or you will have lippage
Looks beautiful! So, no grout? Is that ok???
You need some grout in the joints, Thank you!!!!
Maestro, por favor, explain to me how come you didn’t use any grout? Is it not necessary? I’m about to embark on this project, please help,
Much love,
Your latest subscriber :)
"maestro" these people are amateur. YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED SPACE FOR GROUT
What color is this tile???
Beige
@@HugoCorrea I am sure that’s not the exact name for the color but ok thanks
No spacers?
No, but you can put some if you want
@@HugoCorrea You HAVE to put at least 1/16 spacer per industry standard! honestly this is a terrible tiling job!
Wow!!! Awesome job. I need a tile guy. Are you out of California ?
Staggering the tile would have given you a better wood look, first thing I teach my guys is always stagger your tile, to get the best look, manufacturers recommend 1/8 grout joint, lots of time and effort for a sub par installation. All boils down to getting paid if your customer is happy that’s all that matters.
Correct
I took one look at that pattern and was wondering why this is a "how to video" ?
Instead of a "what not to do" video"
Just want to be realistic here.Most of this is done incorrectly
Dtileandremodeling please help us to understandmore about your technique
Hugo Correa a few things that stand out to me.No grout joints.No back buttering.No keying of substrate.And the pattern isn’t ideal.
Dtileandremodeling thank you for the input, I don't really like big grout joints, there is a lot of cleaning work when you have the joints big, the thin set mortarust be creamy and sticky so you have do the back buttering. I really appreciate your time to write.
I appreciate that you want to do things correctly.Most guys don’t care.
Industry standard require 1/16 minimum grout joints.
Thin set consistency is very important.But it is always recommended to back butter or key in the back of the Tile to ensure a good bond.
Dtileandremodeling thank you again
Yiu never ever bud tlies together like that ask any manufacturer
While the tiles can vary of size fluctuations depending of its composition the important part of any installation is to javelin expansion gaps on the perimeter. The absorption of water and the temperature tolerance have a huge role on the techniques you use to install tile
This particular tiles can be installed without space between them.
Looks great! So you don't leave any spaces between the tiles? First time I saw that. What about the walls, no spacers?
Christoph Lindinger hello, you will always have a little space between but very small, that reduces the amount of grout and stays cleaner for longer time. Thank you for watching my videos
Hugo Correa do you leave it like that at the sides, going up to the wall? Or are you putting skirting?
I hate to criticize, but your doing it all wrong ,wasting the customers materials & money, Do not butt the tiles together no room for grout must have a grout joint, very necessary grout joint is not just for looks it has a purpose, as a filler & a cushion, I guarantee even if you use unsanded grout. Tiles will start chipping while you start grouting or very soon after especially on pier & beam floor
There are reasons for spacing in all floors so they can expand and contract, however the type of thinset mortar and it's elasticity, the gap on the perimeter and the composition of the tiles allow the small gap between the tiles. I normally use tile leveling systems with tiles this big but I installed many with this method and so far they are well. I appreciate your information and the good intention, it is possible that in certain conditions it is better to leave more spacing
Juan: I have the same tiles and the manufacturer recommends 2 installation methods, grout (traditional) and butted with no grout lines (to give a more authentic wood floor look) The tile's edges are designed for this as is the case with most wood look tiles.
@@darrencrane9371 I would really like to see that info, I am an absolute expert in tile installation, 35 years in new remodel, commercial, residential & government & military installation a
Union Journeyman tile setter, have have never heard of a hard tile flooring that doesn't need a joint or grout if it is true I would still caulk every joint because no matter how great you prepare the floor you will still have lipase & spaces that will get filled with dirt from the bottom of you shoes there is no way to together absolutely no gaps. ..I am the greatest tile & marble setter I have ever seen and truly gifted & I have only lay one floor that was absolutely perfect 22 years ago even if you could lay them perfect you shouldn't lay them butt up .... go in to any tile shop and ask any tile setter out in the parkinglot...
Wow u dont back butter large format tile guarantee u pop a tile you'll have less then 40 percent coverage .tca is over 80 percent
So far so good, make sure your surface is leveled and the thin set mortar creamy enough to stick on the surface. Thank you for the comment.
@@HugoCorrea ok u got your way .but u understand it's called double contact for adherence . Even if not big tiles your still suppose to atleast flat spread back of tile . Esp w big format tiles doesn't matter how level floor is tiles that big bow in the middle .its ok I make my living ripping up tiles and puting down all because people dont back butter or flat spread the tile. So thank you lol
Yep, with the righr size Trowel and the right mortar rarely a need to backbutter and i get 100% coverage👍 but im always checking to be sure. Knowledge saves you a lot of wasted labor😎
Well thanks guys because people that dont back butter gives me tons of work lol
U have to do with 25% stagger
Just follow the manufacturer's instructions
