- Today we're going to discuss how to tile a shower wall...specifically the mixing valve wall. How do you cut holes in tile for tub spouts and mixing valves? Should you lay tile directly on the tub or on spacers?
We answer all these questions in today's video...
For more home improvement tips visit www.homerepair...
The first thing you should do when tiling a shower is figure out your layout.
Then you should tile the main shower wall, typically this is 5 feet.
We're tiling the mixing valve wall today and this presents some problems for most homeowners.
Particularly when it comes time to cut holes in the tile for the tub spout, shower valve and shower arm.
Using a laser level makes tiling a shower so much easier.
We recommend Bosch's laser level for about $79 (amzn.to/1SJdvjB)
Line up your first row of tiles on the mixing valve wall with the tiles on the main wall.
Steve has several tips in the video to make this look super professional and neat.
Always lay your tile on a 1/16" spacer, not the tub.
And leave a 1/16" gap between the main wall tile and mixing valve tile in the corner.
In this video we used Schluter edging instead of bullnose, it's way cheaper and more modern.
We waited to install the Schluter edging until finished with all the tile but made a pencil mark on the wall to indicate it's location.
Also, when you get to the tub spout you can transfer the dimensions onto your tile.
Use a carbide hole saw to cut the hole in the tile, again, Steve has several recommendations.
For the mixing valve wall you can use a 4 1/2" angle grinder and carbide blade (amzn.to/1RwqQN0) to cut a hole in the tile.
This can be dangerous. So use a wheel guard (unlike us), goggles, gloves, respirator, etc.

I’m tired of watching shower videos (mostly cause they stress the hell out of me) but once I start you’re videos I can’t shut em off. A lot of great info here, keep em coming gents!
thank you
a very authentic tile contractor, no covering up real mess or perfect membrane cuts get 'er done this job looks awesome. He can cut holes in tiles for the faucet holes.
+Gordon Lam thanks, Steve definitely gets the job done and it looks pristine in the end. May not look pretty during the process but it works
A tip for using the holesaw without the pilot drill. Take a piece of 1/4" ply, drill into it with the holesaw, place this template over where you need the hole and drill into the tile using it as a guide, no guessing where centre is and no skidding.
I was going to say that but you beat me to it. I was sliding all over the place until the light bulb went off.
Brilliant advice... Thanks for sharing that.
Cool tip.
That’s one of my biggest problems some
Days!!!!thanks guys
This little ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
The vibe of these two is great haha. Good vs Evil. How normal people do it vs. manufacturer recommendations. Wildn out vs 'use a wheel guard'
Really enjoyed your video. As a DIY'er, the dialog and the "over the shoulder" camera angle were incredibly helpful. You made my bathroom remodel so much easier!!!!
The grinder technique for the valve was awesome Steve
Thanks Antonio
Great job I believe it’s better to wait for muddy until you cut tile and you missed to cover bathtubs.this is not easy job you did very good thank you very much for all details
Great job; pretty efficient in his process. Clearly he's got a method/technique that keeps him moving at a good pace.
having a routine helps keep the tiling on schedule and definitely saves boat loads of time. Steve's been tiling for over 15 years and has learned tons of great skills that he's passing on, he's awesome
man I thought I was liberal with the mud... hahaha nice job making me feel ok about my own work 🙂
GREAT VIDEO!!!! At around 16:35 minutes into the video, the captions say "indistinguishable". What he actually said was "on a Delta valve..."
I am a homeowner DIYer and don't use a blade guard but I do wear safety glasses when working around porcelain shrapnel.
On his second cut he did put some glasses on.
home owner must have been excited that Jim Thome was doing their tile work!
Excellent video.
Good video overall. One problem though. He states to butt the tile tight in the corners- wrong. You need to leave some gap for expansion/contraction, even if it’s only a 1/16”.
One other thing, I don’t know about other tile setters, but I don’t use a notched trowel to butter the back of the tile. A skim coat is all that’s needed- wet to wet. Two notched surfaces is a boat load of thinset.
we should have clarified that and referenced the TCNA handbook. Yes, at least 1/16" to 1/8" expansion/contraction in corners or any change of plane
I'm not using a guard or wearing gloves an a dust mask until Steve does! 🤪
Vera 1957 - But he is a pro and so doesn’t need them!
1.2 million views! Incredible.
I used Daltile and Schluter edging for my bathroom upgrade project too! Not cheap - but great quality. I did not completely trust my measurement/hole-cutting skills so I just notched the tiles on the "plumbing wall" and now it's hidden by the mixing valve escutcheon plate. Thanks for the vid.
"Professional" or not, that tub is going to be scratched to hell how he's working in there like that. I can't count the number of times if told tile guys to protect the tub, then they don't and they end up having to take out the bottom row of tile and have to pay out of pocket for a new tub and pay my plumber to uninstall and reinstall the tub. Why is he going to caulk the corner? If he's used the schluter system for waterproofing the walls, then just leave a grout joint in the corner then seal the hell out of it.
I can’t believe this was overlooked, as well as the poor professionalism over all with a good enough mentality
My husband and I watched this and all throughout, I kept thinking and saying how scratched that tub was going to be but of course, we don’t see that. This is not the guy I would want working on our biggest investment…our home. Plus, the narrator shouldn’t have to continuously explain, justify, and defend what installer was doing wrong.
He’s just showing a video of how “he does it” .. kudos
Interesting, wish you could help me better understand this, or recommend any good videos.
Never put grout in a corner of a shower even if it’s waterproofed the cornered grout lines will crack and your waterproofing will become water holding quick we’ll see how long that last lol always caulk the corners all of them
little trick; when you put the Ditra membrane to raise for the glass accent glue the orange side on the wall it make a more level surface to install the glass mosaic...
Thanks I learned some great pointers and I feel ready to tackle my shower tile project!
Steve, referencing the video at 13:35 -- I can see how the Schluter Kerdi board on the shower wall warps/bends as you push to set the tile. I've always been concerned about the rigidity of these products (Wedi as well) and if they provide sufficient support for the tile installation. After all that work, I wouldn't want to lean on the wall while taking a showed and loose a tile or two. What's your take on these backboards vs the fiber cement HardieBacker board, or even cement floating the wall? Purely in terms of longevity and durability of the installation, waterproofing aside.
Firms up and gets rigid once thinset dries. As long as you have good coverage by collapsing the ridges your good.
Forget the tape use a framing square to make perfect measuresments it never fails.
Great tips, thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Love it. Good stuff.
The reason for no wheel guard is that it gets in the way of the cut and even with it you can still get cut so just be careful
cya when your blade explode, I tile for a living everyday and the guard doesnt get in the way, if anything it acts as a support for many cuts.
Cool tips! A lot of it I had heard from my tile instructor, which is good … that means we got systems that work! And as it is a little slow right now I’m getting some good learning to keep my muscle memory strong! Thanks… question he snuck the schluter in … does that mean the thunder was still wet behind the tile ? So was this a one day job? (The back wall) how many hours?
Helpful video, but you should really wear a respirator when cutting or grinding tile since it contains silica.
ok here is a question.. I used green dry wall (humid) areas used some kind of waterproof rubber paint on membrane and then used light cement mortar to do my tiles. I also used this Mapei band for all the corners and the area where the drywall touches the tile base. I figure it was good enough.. Not everyone has big budgets
+chado1231 Mapei makes quality materials. Sounds like you possibly used Hydroban or a similar liquid membrane for waterproofing
Stupid question forgive my ignorance...... how to tile a wall that had a slight curve to it? Wall curved tile flat
to achieve the radius you'll have to cut tiles to smaller proportions
What do you fill the empty space behind the big shower valves with? Mortar? Silicon? Grout? Tile adhesive?
Thanks
what kind of tile is that? Can you get it at Home Depot or Lowes? Looks nice. Great job.
it was available at Home Depot but that was 6 years ago
@@HomeRepairTutor I found it. Its still there at Home Depot. Thanks for replying.
When do you use a wet saw and when do you use a scratch cutter?
by the end of the job , that tub its going to be scratched and dirty , not excuse, be professional mean you can’t have accidents with the grinder ? 🤔
I know the guy is a professional but when he's cutting the circle on the tile you can see his thumb is close to the blade cut. thats not a good demonstration on how to cut the tile people are going to do the same thing ,and can loose a finger, bad example to show.. like I said he might be good but he's not aware of how to teach the right way..
How long does it take to tile a shower in those same dimensions? One day, two, three, four?
What I do to use the cheap hole bit is use an old tile and drill the hole in it. Then I use it to as a template for future cuts. Thanks for the helpful video.
I little good advice. Put down some blue tape and then a sheet of plywood it protects the tub from scratches and gives you a platform to work on just saying i have seen bone heads get suied.
Very dirty and dangerous worker I've not met any body in Britain who would shlap around tile cement with bare hands ,big deal he can cut holes using grinder indoors with no handle or guard no mask no eye protection wow I wouldn't employ him ..
@@georginapeers293 All that matters is the finished job. Does it look good is it water proof, level and plumb he checks all the boxes. May be you prefer someone that is cleaner an does a bad job. When your house was built you were probably not there to see if everyone had eye protection or used their bare hands and by the way he probably does not want to work for you anyway.
I'm messy with the thinset too (just me), but I overprotect the surfaces though. No one will ever know how messy I was with the thinset when they see the finish job. Professional.
I luv the part at 19:40 where you have thinset all over the tile, the tub, your hands hahahaha reminds me of the old days when i did this stuff. lol
Thanks for that one tip on spacing between tiles and since one of my walls is closer to the hallway, I was thinking that it would need more room for expansion/contraction due to heavy traffic. Also, thanks for those safety tips on health (I too want to enjoy my retirement while not feeling I'm in an Olympic race). Lol! I use a mask whenever I can and cut outside. I don't want extra work either.
Should you not start with a full width of tile on the bottom ( against the tub) and work your way up? How did you determine the bottom tile width?
Great question Bob, we plan the layout based on the total height and width, plus how the tile will look around the niche. The reason we start with less than a full tile is so they can be scribe cut to the contour of the tub, yet we keep them level and add a horseshoe shim under the tile to maintain an expansion and contraction joint
Can you give me some advice about how to use this system and seal a 1 1/4" pipe? The Kerdi pipe seal only comes in 1/2" and 3/4". Thanks.
Thank you for all the tips tiling a bathroom I have a question I will use a 3" x 6" white color tile what spacer size typically is used for this type of tile?
In real time how much time lapsed before you finished tiling and inserted schlutter trim (spelling?)? And did you leave thinset thinner on outer (front) tile edge, or thinset absent where schlutter trim was inserted?
This guy is awesome! I just finished our guest restroom with a full gut and upgrade! I used much of this guys method (used hardi-backer instead of kerdi because that part was already done when I started watching his video), but the tile job for the most turned out spectacular! My next job (DIYr) I’m going to try using Kerdi-board. Kerdi just seems easier to manage? Thanks for the videos! I would send a pic of my tile job if I could on UA-cam.
Hi is that a tile spacer or a tile levelling system? Looks like it does both.....would love to know where you purchased.....great video btw.....thanks!!! The purple things that you click or snap together
I hate to make negative comments but considering this is video designed to help the average home owner who is thinking of doing their own work, the information given should be the correct way of doing things. For starters, there is no way this guy should be using a 1/4 trowel for 12" x 24" tiles. 1/2" is the proper trowel to use for such a large tile. 1/4" will never leave behind enough thin set. Secondly, trowel lines should all be in the same direction and not swirled around. To achieve proper coverage, the trowel lines need to collapse and they won't do so if the lines are all swirled around. In order to have the lines collapse and not have air pockets, the tile needs to be wiggled back and forth. I didn't see this guy do that even once. Again, not trying to be negative but lets teach people the right way the easier wrong way.
+jgocar24 if you watched the entire video the correct trowel pattern was used and we discuss this method in prior videos, too. We're well aware of TCNA recommendations and discuss this throughout videos. The trowel size for this installation is also within guidelines as each tile was backbuttered, thin-set applied to KERDI-BOARD and trowel ridges parallel to each other. In addition, Ardex X 77 was used to install these large format tiles, which is widely regarded as one of the best polymer modified thinsets. There may be an instance where the editing didn't quite indicate this but please understand that the video is over 30 minutes of detailed instruction. I encourage you to make your own video if you feel this isn't to standard.
but hes doing a double notch technique. If the walls were good I would use a 3/8's notch on both tile and wall with the trowel held at a 45 degree angle or slightly more to leave about half inch or 5/8s of thinset prior to setting. No problem there for large tile.
How to fix a gerber shower diverter
why didn't they start this video at the beginning! They did the back wall, damn it!
Thank you! Very helpful for those of us who know nothing!
Thank you for your videos. How do you layout the tile in a shower 38 depth 54 inch back wall and 38 again if using a 12 x 24 tile. I can't seem to figure out the best layout, do I do 1/3 or half or straight?
Good question, you could make a template of the four sides with cardboard or plywood strips then lay that on the tile; 1/3 offset is best for 12x24 to minimize tile lippage at grout joints
Thank you very much/ I’m excited to start practicing and go for it. I really appreciate the help.
What was the total time for this wall? I am about to start my tile project including the schluter metal edge. I was worried about moving to slow since this is my first time to be able to slide the edge behind the tile when I’m done.
Excellent videos! The best I have ever seen. You do not "assume" things that most other instructional videos do. The step-by-step process is extremely helpful! As someone who used to have a bathroom remodeling business myself, I can honestly say that I learn something from every one of your videos I have viewed. Keep up the good work!
Hey Steve, you guys are great! As someone who teaches people too, except with dogs (you might know me from Animal Planet hosting Good Dog U) I really like the way you guys are so informative in your videos. This particular video is great as I am going to tile my shower this week. We are doing a niche, and doing the pebble floor... so that video came in handy as well! Thanks for all your help! The guys are tearing out the existing 4 x 4 tile, building up the floor of the shower etc, and getting me all set up to tile.
FYI, Schluter does not recommend setting edge profiles after tile as you've done in this video.
+Matt Weigel yes, we work with Schluter and I understand their installation instructions but sometimes installers need different approaches to meet the demands of the project. When installed the way we did it you'll find the Rondec isn't going anywhere, it's more than solid
I understand, but just thought I'd point it out in case you weren't aware. I think more than just the security of the edge profile, the reason is more for ensuring coverage under that leading edge of the tile so as to prevent all the issues that arise with installation where tiles do not have full mortar coverage. Probably more applicable for use in a flooring installation more so than with wall tile.
Matt Weigel I dislike those damn schluter edges for this reason. I suggest bullnose or pencil tile to finish the edge.
Wrong size trowel ,by the time the schluter strip is installed the the mortar is already set up . And u need to leave a grout joint on inside corners , butting them leaves no room for movement and if u caulk it all the caulk sits on top of tile versus getting into joint and creating a good seal. Not to mention u can tell how good a tradesmen is by looking at how he treats his tools and job site ... all his tools are covered in shit and place is a mess
Why not drill a same-sized hole in a piece of 3/4" plywood and clamp it on to the tile. Then you could use that hole as a guide.
why not put the full tile at the tub and the cut one at the ceiling?
do i need a waterproof stuff in between the dry wall surface and the new tiles backing?
When using the grinder he should ware safety glasses!
I love your videos! Do you have the video of adding the Schluter Trim to the niche?
Thanks Kerri, we don't have any on UA-cam. Those are all over on Bathroom Repair Tutor's site. Did you have a specific question?
@@HomeRepairTutor how long do you have to set the trim piece? Having never tiled before I don't have any idea how long it will take to tile from the floor to the ceiling.
What about the drywall next to the shower?
Great video, I noticed that you use non modified thin set mortar on the Kerdi install so it will stick to the backing do you also use non-modified thinset mortar to install the tile?
Awesome video. Question though, is there a video for the other two walls? Can't find one on your page.
+Malcolm Oliver thanks for asking, I'm currently working on a mini course where we have all the tiling and grouting videos in one spot 👍
But I'm tiling this weekend! Oh well, onto Google. You make great videos.
+Malcolm Oliver thanks, send me an email at jeff@homerepairtutor.com. I'll give you a hand 👍
Can't see anything because of the written words on the screen!!!
Those are subtitles, you can turn them off 👍🏼
@ 17:43 Don't wear gloves while using a grinder. Eye and ear protection a must. Great video. Thanks
+David Borchert thanks 👍
but he is a professional and professionals don't get hurt ..hahaa he a superman ..
Hi , its Mehdi I have a question I am ready to do the tiles on shower wall as I measured the back wall I found that bottom of shower wall measure at 33 and half and couple of feet above is 34 and one quater and rest of the wall is 34 and half !! so my question is where should I start tiling means the widest measurements or where you suggest to start as I am working wit 24x12 porceline tiles in a brick pattern please advise and BE SAFE Be Well..Thank you
Hi I didn't see Steve using straight edge to check the vertical level and flatness, so as long as it look good and no lippag are acceptable, is that right? Thanks
we used a laser level to check for plumb and SeamClips for lippage as well as feeling by hand
How did you cut the corner (rip tile) to go down side of tube yet your tile remained same width to tie into your back wall tile and stay on the laser line level?
the bottom course of tile at tub deck isnt full height
just wanted to confirm the hole saw, the diamond hole saw and using tile bit to drill pilot hole ? correct? and do you recommend non-modified thin set or regular thin set and a brand that you recommend for non-sag mortar?
A little tip for the hole saw: drill with it through an old sponge so that it fits inside of it, now you only have to dip it into water once to keep the drill cool.
+MrRedRooster thanks for the tips
Home Repair Tutor night
Great tip!
MrRedRooster fh
Is the water for the drill or to prevent the tile from cracking?
What is the name of the blue clips you're using and where can I find them?
Really enjoyed your video.
+mirooo Vuujjj thanks
Soooo Gooood! Thank You!
Great video tutorial. Do you always need to use the Ditra membrane when doing mosaic inserts?
Thanks you for this video.
+David Falk not all the time, only if the mosaic tile isn't as thick as the main wall tiles 👍
Home Repair Tutor mine is thinner. so off to Lowe's go.
thanks again.
+David Falk glad to help, keep us posted 👍
Sorry but if you push the Ditra down behind the tile you have defeated the purpose. The depth becomes the same.
but still good video
@@UKBIZNET the ditra was only put where the thinner mosic glass tile was at to make them flush with the other tile
you would never put a heavy tile on top of a mosaic border(netted)... i would wait till the next day for that top tile course. all those spacers!!! lol
protip ☝
When do you take the custom seam clips off? Thanks
they snap off after the tiles are set. the plastic flat is designed to stay in the wall.
My first wet saw was a 4" (I had a small job). I now have a 7" beauty and would like to use the 4" blade on a drill for a grinder. Is this kosher?
depends on model and manufacturer but the smart response is that its not worth the research and potential for accidents to save a dollar or avoid having to shop for a legitimate angle grinder wheel. grinders and saws run at very different rpms and a non rated blade could shatter if spun twice as fast as intended. good luck if you try it anyway.
That's beautiful video alaide samples in Everything I do
Couldn't you use a scrap piece of tile to make a hole in with the cheap hole cutter then use that as a guide to cut the hole in exactly the correct place? Maybe tape it in place.
Yes
Wait until you get a lung infection , 8 months. I was off work and still recovering from hardly breathing. I almost died. Respirator every time 3m safety glasses and extractors. I would buy everything required for circular holes, the less dust in the environment, the better for your health..
Thanks Dave for the advice, we've gotten better at wearing safety gear. The silica dust respirators are great, and not terribly uncomfortable. Sorry to hear about your long recovery, are you better?
for christs sake were you huffing bags of tile dust behind a dumpster?
Yeah, if I am in the trade I'd spend the money to get the larger hole saw.
Hi I just found your videos recently. I spent 16 years in basement remodeling after starting my own basement finishing business. I left the industry for 4 years and quit the 9-5, back in home remodeling.
I love what I do again. I’ve since lined up 4 bathroom remodeling jobs and 3 are mud base pans. I’ve done my own tile work for 12 years prior in the basement business. Enough about me, but I love your videos and your tile partner is a real hands in pro. Awesome videos for us with experience but still needing to learn more. Your one of my favorite tile pros to watch and learn from.
Thank you for taking the time to post and help share your knowledge and work. Looking forward to watching more.

very dirty bad tile job
I'm curious about the 1/2 offset? I thought the standard was 1/3?
18 and 5/8 minus 17 and 9/16 leaves a gap of 7/32 with clearance of 5/64. The rest of the world uses metric system for a reason.
The fact he's a "pro" should be setting an example for newbies trying to learn. Breathing even a little of ceramic dust one time can have lasting health problems. Otherwise great info
Isn't he doing troweling wrong?
I've always heard that it should be directional.
See the first tile that he puts at 11.13
Sibtain Ali 💯
Not Impressed. For a so called Master Bathroom Installer I wouldn't have him anywhere near my home given how messy and untidy he is, not to mention standing in and having tile and equipment inside the customers bath tub with no protection down. 👎
I can't understand why he barely used that tile saw. After seeing this I've decided I'd rather buy a tub/shower surround.
the tile he cut to extend below the top of the tub was a 90 degree square cut yet the top of the tub has a rounded edge, how do you finish that off?
That cut was accomplished using an angle grinder and diamond blade, lately we’ve been using Montolit’s blades and they’ve been great. What type of tile are you setting?
I have a whirlpool tub and separate shower in our master bath, we would like to take the tub out and replace it with a large walk in no lip shower. Can we do that, there is a window above the tub, which doesn’t open. We would like to replace the window with a window that opens. We would like to turn the separate shower into a lien closet. Is this a beginner project for do it yourself?
How long can the thinset be exposed after being troweled on to the wall? It seems like it would start to dry rather quickly, effecting the bond. You guys cut tiles as you go, leaving the thinset exposed...of course as I type this, I realize you have to cut as you go because the pieces will all be slightly different. How long in real time did it take to tile the mixing valve wall? I love your videos, very clear and informative. Thanks
good questions and the pot life of each thin-set is a bit different. That said, Ardex X77 is the thin-set we used and we applied it to the wall as we tiled. You can safely finish a plumbing wall without the X77 skinning over but if it does, simply mix up another batch. It will take each person different amounts of time to do the mixing valve wall but Steve did it in 1.5 hours, primarily due to filming ;)
Brilliant tutorial, great production value, and off course, a damn good job on the tiling. Thank you :)

When measuring the tile pieces do you subtract 1/16 for the grout gap?
When using 1/16 gap, I subtract 1/8" so there's 1/16 on both sides.
if you're still replying I have a question the the mixing valves mud ring, I'm using 20 by 20 tiles my mud ring is set presently to 1/2 inch out from the backer board my tile is 3/8 and if I use 3/8 trial for the thinset that puts me at 3/4 what do I do to solve this problem can I use longer screws? I hope you're still replying to these messages thank you can hoping to hear from you
What thinset is he using here? Is it pre-mixed?
+lynzxer021 no, we used Ardex X77 because tiles are large format . Don't use mastic in a shower
Are you guys in Pittsburgh??
Yes
I was going to ask what Philly suburb are you from? Pittsburgh. Should have guessed. Nice work! I’m currently tiling my my bathroom shower. Thanks for the info.
@@KJC2025 lol, thank you. Philly is a great city
Like your video. May I know what size of trowel/notch are you using for this large tile?
it will depend on the tile but for this video we used a 1/4" x 1/4" square notched trowel. We also use 1/4" x 3/8" square notched trowels for 1/4" thick tile.
My tile is 12"x24". So what size do u recommend me to use?
@@HomeRepairTutor I don't quite understand using a 1/4" x 1/4" trowel. In Sal's video on trowels and on bags of thinset themselves, I'm seeing 1/2" x 1/2" recommended for 12x24" tile. I'm getting ready to do a shower with 12x24 and need to know trowel size. Help!
@@nvkooz Typically 1/2 for large format. If I were to use 1/4 trowel, I'd backbutter the tile with the same ridges as on the wall.
what kind of snap-fit levelling clips are those/ how easy is it to remove them later?
Easy as 1 2 3. However if the adhesive dries too much like anything it's tough to pop em off.
@@jaredstone9487 i dont follow. if the adhesives not dry youll pop tiles off with the clips. its imperative that it is dry so basically just the opposite of your response.
@@unglemergy Reading comprehension isn't your thing. Is it?
Do you have a video of the back side installation? I have a similar setup and am unsure of how to do the drywall corner next to the tub. There's not enough room to put drywall or tile on the side of the tub! :/
That video is in our course. You can add a drywall corner bead then apply your waterproofing over it, eg add Schluter Kerdi-Band in the shower area. Then tile over it. We used a metal profile but pencil trim or bullnose also works
@@HomeRepairTutor i think one of the most impressive parts of this entire video was you being able to make sense out of that guys question ☝
@@unglemergy That's probably because they've done so many tile jobs and have come across a lot of crap to work around.
Did you waterproof the sheetrock before tiling? And isn't cement board better than sheetrock in the shower?
KERDI-BOARD is the backer board inside the shower, the orange fleece is waterproof and we sealed all seams/screws before setting tile
@@HomeRepairTutor how much does a sheet of that cost?
Thanks guys very good video 📹 👍 👌
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
