  • I show how to tile a bathroom floor. This is part of my small bathroom remodel project and floor tiling is one of the biggest bang for your buck DIY projects you can do in a bathroom. It totally changes the look and feel and in a small bath like mine, installing large format tiles really makes the room feel bigger. #bathroom #remodel #tiling sponsored by ridgid

    To avoid stubborn grout haze, wipe the haze 1-2 hours after grouting, that way the grout is hard enough that you won’t cause any damage and the haze comes off really easily.

    Those floor levelers you use are literally the BEST way to pull or push your tiles to have a perfect level floor. Love the floor Brad.

    Thanks so much for the great video! Your clear description makes me think I could do this myself. And thanks for NOT adding loud, head-banging music while you're talking and when you're not ... not sure why people who do tutorials think they need music to fill the background. If I want to go to a rock concert, I don't click on a home improvement video!

    Great Video. Though, it's my understanding that it is highly recommended to dampen the subfloor with a sponge, before applying thin-set-mortar, to prevent the moisture from being sucked out of the mortar before it dries..

    "They didn't install it correctly......It shouldn't come up this easy"
    I've heard this on a couple of videos I've watched about remodeling. To me they are installed perfectly!
    They are currently holding just the way they should but if you want to tear it up, it comes up easily.
    Sounds like a win, win to me.

      @GardenofWar2 4 роки тому +2

      You don't have to on square tiles but on larger rectangular ones it is helpful because it's harder to get the mortar even across the larger plane and buttering them gives you more error room when setting them to be level.

    Thanks Brad, great job. I have a similar bathroom to retile. Same style/look as your bathroom.
