to save time on the corners you can cut a full sheet in half. use each half as the srarter for the same corner. the you dont have to work with small detatched tiles.
OMG, the fast motion is so funny when you run into the other room & come back. Imagine if you could really move that fast, or can you, hmmm... Thanks for making this video, I am going to try to tackle a glass tile project tomorrow.
Sal, thanks for all of your videos. I've watched most of your tile installs before I do my own. Tons of tips and tricks your expertise provides. Now I'm not so nervous about doing this myself. I hope when I'm done it looks like a pro like you did it!
Your videos have been extremely helpful during my DIY bathroom remodel. I am about to layout some glass tiles on the wall for about the sink. Thank you for all the tips and how to's! It's a life saver!
Wow Mr. Sal. Your vids are a pure pleasure to watch. Your professionalism during installation shows that you want the best possible outcome for your customers. Once again, my hats off to you Sir. Absolutely beautiful work.
It L👀ks OUTSTANDING!!!!💯✔ I do wish we could have seen the equipment you used to cut the glass and you also show us how to cut the glass pieces with the different glass cutters you mention, Your Kitchen Backsplash Is Beautiful Sir! Thank you for your time and your energy you have put in to allowing us to see this wonderful process!💯✔
Best how to video I've seen! I loved the fast motion and how detailed it was. I think I will now hire it done, but I know more about the process. You are amazing, and this was NOT boring. Thank you!
That is why I do the videos, some will "say I can do that", others will say "better get a pro". In each case you will have more knowledge of the process that can only help you make a better decision.
Nice job! Amazing how the grout changes the entire look of the tile and gives it that "finished" feel. Thanks for a great video! My only suggestion is to replace those old yellowed light switches, plugs and plates with nice clean white ones. :)
Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to share this with us. I particularly liked your method of the inside 90 degree turn in the corner. I agree, it looks better with the small pieces re-installed after the cut. I viewed another video where they merely butted the up together. Not good looking at all.
Sal it's great to see your work in progress. you never seem to get upset though. I know in our profession it happens. let us see it once or twice that way we know your still human ha ha
I love the woodpecker hammer and block sound...this spring I had a woodpecker that would peck on my neighbors vent pipe cap...I don't know why except he liked the sound of metal or sharpening his beek.
Love this video Sal...I didn't see an answer to several people asking about leaving a gap between the tile and counter top (apologies if I missed it) but I don't think you actually need a gap in this case. You just need to seal the bottom edge of the tile with caulk for water proofing like you did in the video. The gap people are referring to is actually known as an "expansion gap" which I don't think applies for this sheet style tile. Correct me if I'm wrong however.
OH MY Gosh... I am so glad I watched this video before I decided to tackle my (bad) project. I too have ugly GLUE on a (very thin) wall on my 1972 Vintage Travel Trailer... I can not get the glue off without hurting the thin board behind it, (that is why I wanted to know the name of the tool you use at the beginning of this video... GREAT IDEA... but what I would have skipped would have been putting on the "Skim Coat" .... You have saved me a lot of work and worry... Thank you so much for this great video... NOTE: I hand paint custom tiles and I would have hated putting up the hand painted tiles only to have done a bad job... .... I'm not used to installing them... just painting them... LOL. Thank you again... I really enjoyed watching this video...
Judi Christopher no problem at all. Been installing tile for years but I have to say it’s not hard and I’ve had several homeowners that love to watch and learn a few things. It’s a fun career but also a fun hobby if you’re a homeowner
@@Ricky-xv4yc I agree... I have a question for you... If I put up a backsplash in a RV... can I use a flexible grout so it does not crack? Is there such a thing LOL
Very Good Job Sal! You gave me confidence as a woman to do this on my own!! Great step by step instructions!! I have one question though. When doing the corners, do you leave a space between the ending tiles and the new tiles being placed on the adjacent wall? Or do you place them as close together as possible? Do you I use spacers at that point like you video showed? Thanks!!
It looks so pretty when your done! I just attended a workshop and learned to install a back splash, but I have a few questions they didn't address. Would you mind answering then, and thank you in advance. :) 1) What did you use to patch the wall (I think you said @ 2:00, but I couldn't hear it)? 2 (3 questions in 1) What was the process of removing the outlet covers and taping them? Was it that simple or more complicated? When you screw the outlet covers back on, do they just fit? 3) Did you caulk the space between the tile and where it meets the counter top by the sink? if so, do you have a video on caulking? Again, thanks in advance for your answers.
Sal: Loved the video, it's not as easy as everyone thinks to do it right. I'm about to install glass tile with textured stone in it. What happens to the textured stone when I grout? Thanks again.
My guess it that you should probably seal the tile before you grout it, if the stone part of you tile has a lot of voids in it, they will be filled by the grout and will have an entirely different look when grouted.
Sal, I think that the specific tile you are using would be great for my kitchen. Can you provide some specific product info? Great video, our Italian ancestors are brimming with pride.
Premier Decor is the company that makes those tiles. I don't know the name of the color combo though. Check their website. We bought out Premier Decor glass tile at Home Depot.
Nick Benfaremo Cosmos - Premier Decor glass tile @ home depot if that is the one with travertine in it. I think it is. Installing it this weekend in my kitchen!
Not bad PRO . I prefer using special "PIRANHA" blade with grinder . Perfect cut every time . Wet saw SUCKS for mosaic , just friendly advice . I also always use edges .
That's so beautiful! Can you grout before you put the electrical faceplates back on? I'm about to do this exact same type of tile in my own kitchen. What color is the grout? I'm thinking white but it might be TOO white. Also, should I put spacers at the bottom between the counter & tile, or does it matter?
+tygrr94 You can grout before you put the face plates on, but if you can turn off the power to the outlets, do so. I sometimes put them back on so i don't get an electrical shock while grouting.
Nice video and excellent job. I just installed the exact same back splash, but left the grout on too long. What would you recommend for removing the extra grout from the tile? It's difficult to remove
+Lee Radford You might want to try a mild acid, like white vinegar, but depending on what the tile is, it might damage the tile. There are grout residue removers check with a tile supplier.
Hi Sal, I'm about to do this in my shower today. The mosaic glass sheet tile and the 12x24 tile are the same thickness 1/4". Can I use the same 1/2" trowel to set the mosaic glass tile on wall so it can be the same evenness when done? I'm only doing one 12" vertical line right in the middle straight up on backwall of a 3x5 shower. And can I use the same MAPEI brand large format wall tile thinset? It's white thinset. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks
You will find that the 1/2" trowel will not work well with the mosaic tile. You should set the field first leave the pace for the mosaic tile to add it after. Glass tile requires a mortar that is suitable for glass. The thinset you use for the larger tile may not be appreciated.
Excellent video. The info regarding matching the tiles at the inside corners was something I hadn't thought about. Question: Each mat usually comes packaged on a white cardboard. It seems to me that for those glass tiles that are somewhat translucent (you can see through them to some degree) the color of the thinset could affect the final color. Correct?
Sone glass tiles are in fact transparent and require an additional step during installation to insure 100% coverage, and the color of the thinset will greatly affect the look of the final product.
What type of thin-set did you use to get the uniform surface across the wall, I could not make out what you said please? And also what type of mastic or thin set are you using as an adhesive for the tile? I guess I am confused as it appears you are using one thin set for the smooth surface and another product for your adhesive. Thank you for the video as it was very informative and helpful.
hi! love ur video! I will be installing a glass mosaic tile backsplash in my kitchen.Thin-set mortar for glass specifically, right? any particular grout used? (sanded or unsanded? Premixed? brand u trust for glass mosaic backsplashes?) what kind of (wet)saw & blades do u use? Do you caulk the edges of the tiles at the end of the wall (with the polished tile pieces)? Thanks! :)
Yes to all above, Tec Superflex thinset is a good one, unsanded grout is probably best no use a glass specific blade on the wet saw, caulk all changes of plain and where tile meets a dissimilar material.
I would agree with you if this was a floor where the edge of the tile needs protection. With glass tiles backsplashes i polish the edges where needed so that the tile ends without the need to add a strip to finish the tile. That way you get a nice clean look without adding a vertical line at the end, but of coarse this is just my opinion and how to end the tile is really a mater of taste and entirely subjective.
Outstanding video first of all! I have a problem where the top edge of my formica counter top and my window trim are a 1/2 inch off from one side to the other. 36 inch wide window and only a 2 inch gap on one side and 2 1/2 on the other. 2 peices of glass tile are 2 inches. What would be the best way to fudge it.
Hi again, I did not see that you verify the level of the granite counter and top cabinet before you install the glass mosaic tile ( I believe you did verify the level ). 1. What will you do (when installing this glass mosaic tile) if you have a 1/8 of an inch slope every 1 feet or so from both granite and top cabinet in such a way that the distance between cabinet and granite counter is the same ? and what will you do if only the granite counter has a 1/8 slop every feet or so ? 2. I did not see that you maintain a space between the glass mosaic tile to the granite counter, Is this because you are tiling glass ? Thanks for the great video, help a lot.
Thanks Sal! We removed a backsplash of 4" tiles last week that removed a lot of paper and had to piece in a small patch of drywall to repair a hole. Removed all the old mastic and was advised to put a coating of Gardz on everything since we accidentally did the patch with regular joint compound and mesh tape. Should we be good to set glass tile mosaics at this point. Everything is flat.
Sal, I installed a white quarry interlocking mosaic stone for my backsplash, but after grouting, it seems really dull as if a haze is covering the whole thing. It's not something that will come off with just a dry towel or something. Can you please recommend a product or what to do? My beautiful stone is totally dull, man. Thank you and I subscribed.
Did you seal the stone before grouting, if not, then that could be the cause. As far as getting it off, well there is the problem, if it is a delicate stone then harsh cleaners will just create bigger problems. This is really not my area of expertise, so I can't offer a solution. You might be able to find some help here www.johnbridge.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=2fdd90c69e4dce22c9bb103842b9478c&f=16
I absolutely sealed before grouting : ) I'm starting to think the problem may be with the yellow lighting against the gray stone. It creates a "dull" tint. I'm going to install track lighting with different color lights or maybe under cabinet lighting and I think that may solve the issue. Thanks for replying, really appreciate your videos.
to save time on the corners you can cut a full sheet in half. use each half as the srarter for the same corner. the you dont have to work with small detatched tiles.
Ohhhh... Great Idea!!!
Thank you.
Very great idea. Then just work from the corner out which is the way I think it should be done anyhow.
OMG what a great tip!
I myself am a tiler in the Uk and you sir, tiled that kitchen like a boss.

Good job but at the end tiles its always better to use a edge strip...looks cleaner and protects the tiles.

That way you get a nice clean look without adding a vertical line at the end, but of coarse this is just my opinion and how to end the tile is really a mater of taste and entirely subjective.
Did you use a spacer offset for the outlet plugs? How did you acheive a flush mount?
Hey Sal, thank you for another great video. I'm getting ready to install the same tile. What size V-Notch trowel were you using? Thanks
Good job, but I wonder why you put grout with electrical covers on? Also at the bottom instead of grout clear silicone should be use.
Grout with covers on because I don't like electrical shocks, and the bottom is caulked with a color matching caulk, not grout.

Hi Sal. Great video. I read somewhere that we should use silicone caulking for an expansion joint @ the corners. Your thoughts?
Does not have to be silicone, siliconized latex caulk will work just fine.
