Sweet job. 1200x1200 are MASSIVE and sooo heavy. You made it look easy. 💪💪
Hi Del we have even bigger being laid soon 😂 I’am glad it’s Greg doing it 💪 all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE BIGGER!!!!. At this rate you'll be sending the room size to the tile manufacturers and get them made in one piece!!!. 🤪
@@BuildWithAE you kept that one quiet Tony. I can't wait to throw those one's around 🤪
I've just done one with 10mm porcelain 900*900s. That's big enough for me!
@@johnwardle9667 I did a massive job last year and I was staggered at the 900x900 tiles that were laid. It took 2 blokes 2 weeks to lay them.😵.
Awesome job, those tiles look amazing 👏
Good explanations, nice job. Thanks for another great video. Top tiler.
Quality Tiler, seen so so many cowboy tiling jobs but this one 5 star 🌟
Greg is the man! 👍
Love this çhannel - Greg is a great tradesman / tiler - as are the other guys I've seen on this channel. Love the variety of stuff you guys do and show, and the quality of the work is top notch!. I do think Greg could have own dedicated tiling channel as well though - he'd get loads of subs in my opinion.
Hi Chris much appreciated Greg is a Legend and he is a natural never say never I say more knowledge shared by everyone the better all the best Tony 👍
Top tiles, makes it look so easy!
Great job Greg, must get myself one of those tile thumpers
Fantastic job. I used a very similar tile by Porcelthin. 4.8mm thick, 1200 x 600. Used the same colour grout but by Mapai complete with silver glitter. Looks beautiful!
Great video guys. Spot on work! 👍🏼
Top job great to see good craftsmanship love the tiles looking smart and sharp looking
Hi Kenny much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
Great presentation on layout and detail in work, always enjoy your videos and top tops. Fair play 👍
Hi Ken much appreciated all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Great job by professionals. You will have to show me how a big lad such as yourself walks on them lightly
Hi backers 77 much appreciated 😂 I thought the same all the best Tony 👍
Exquisite craftsmanship.
Hi Maria much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
some really useful tips in there, cheers for that
What grinder disc do you use? Also once you've made a cut with the grinder what do you use to smooth the edge off? Looks great keep up the good work.
One of the best tilers I've seen.They always make it look easy.Great tutorial video,keep them coming.Nice one Greg.
Thanks dude!! 👍
You the man Greg 👍👍
Hi guys good looking job as always just wondering what happens with the gap on the door frame now, is it removed and put back in on the tiles. Also how do you remove those spacers as they look T shaped, are they broken off some how?
Hi Kevin much appreciated the door lining gets dropped to sit neatly on the tiles, the clips just snap off at the bottom of tile all the best Tony 👍
Quality as always!
Great video! I like the fact you use a slower set adhesive giving more work time for the less experienced tiler! all other videos seem to use a rapid set boasting on the fact you can tile straight away. Would you be able to stop laying the tiles halfway through if you couldn't get it all done in a day?
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Yes of course. Just make sure any adhesive is cleaned from the exposed edges, so it doesn't dry and cause issues.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 👷🏼♂️
Nice work Greg. 😉
👊🏻
Really enjoyed the whole process . Well done looks amazing 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Do you always butter up the back of the tile? Im self taught as ive been house bashing for 20 years. I figured out, sometimes the need to butter up of back of tile, due to when i was half into the install & the floor suddenly changed in level. Just enougth to make it impossible to level out tiles. Only remedy was lift some of the tiles. The small screed of adhesive massively helped to keep tiles in level with one another? As if gives you room to adjust a few mm.
Great tips , thankyou
hi you know how you use that vibrator to get the trapped air out how would you know your getting it all out instead maybe your join the air pockets to create a bigger void just my thought looks good ,tiler myself
Hey guys, Whats your opinion on miter cutting tiles instead of using trims? Seeing it alot more recently with the people I follow and would like to know what Gregs opinion on it is! Thanks 👍🏻
Also great work, floor looks incredible!
Hi Ashley. I'm doing alot of mitres at the moment but that more down to clients preference really. I personally love it and love the look but it is down to the individual client really
Thanks for watching
Greg
@@gregneale4455 Thanks Greg, Appreciate the reply! Fantastic work as always mate; look forward to seeing more in the future👍🏻.
Epic job Greg. Trying to source 90 x 90 carrera marble tiles and can’t get them anywhere. Mare. 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
Hi Rob much appreciated very unlikely at the moment with COVID, but back to normal soon with Delivery all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome week
Another superb job done by quality professional. Looks really nice👌
Hi Gino much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
Nice job 👍
Do you think installing a 6mm thick porcelein tile is more likely to crack due to the ultra thinness of the tile even when properly installed as you do.
Hello i see you used a grinder, it is a standard grinder? i am guessing the blade is special?
Hi There. I like your video. thanks. QUESTION ? I am doing a small tiling job. only x 2 square meters bathroom floor. I want to know ? Is there any multi purpose adhesive which I could use for both - sticking on waterproof decoupling membrane onto a concrete subfloor and also using the same adhesive for sticking tiles on top of it ?
Best to go into your local tiling merchant and ask for the most flexible adhesive you can get fast set and slow setting
Was that orange tool a sort of handheld vibrator? (says he keeping a straight face😎)
Great job on the tiles! looks beautiful!!! How did you finish the walls?
Nice Greg 👌🏼
Love your work.
Great informative video! I’ve ordered some very expensive set of these 1200x600 and I’m a bit scared the builders I have are a bit cowboy. Any advice on what to look out for when they are installing these? Thanks
Do it yourself.
Would you do a short video about job pricing, please?
Thanks in advance
All the very best
Great video, very informative.
I have been told not to use the wedge type levelling systems because when you knock off the plastic bits afterwards, they have a tendency to chip the tiles. Is there any truth to this please?
That's nonsense. Never had that happen and use them regularly. However if you use the size down in mm you want and then space with a normal spacer, they break out a lot easier. Keeping the clip area clean too is vital.
What board do u use on Floorboards? Do u use adhesive on floor boards then screw?
Great video. I’m having new flooring laid next week and wondered what you’d recommend in terms of order. I’ve been told to have a plasterer in first to skim coat the walls, and then a tiler to come in and rip up existing terrazo tiles and lay new tiling. In your experience, would the process of ripping up a floor (terrazo tiles) cause any damage to fresh plaster? Which would be a few days ‘old’.
Thank you - great attention to detail 👌🏻
Hi Luke personally I would take the old floor up first but it’s your shout all the best Tony 👍
Hi guys what blades would you guys suggest to use on a 4inch grinder to cut porcelain? Also suggestions on manual tile cutters please . Thanks
Rubi For both
Good job!
I have 1 question,
Around how much $ is the labor by each sqft?
Nice works guys just a question on the Dural matting. I think you said the floor has underfloor heating. Does the fleece backing keep the heat down on the matting? Thanks
Hi, yes any material will always have an affect but but would you notice it no all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE true I am a tiler mate on your side 🏋️Belts and braces.
Great channel .
Can you recommend a Good Quality Tile Adhesive.
I also I'm using a 6mm Italian marble..tile
Hi Steven there are many great tile adhesive out there take a sample with you to a tile department and see what they have Bal and Mapia are good makes all the best Tony 👍
What is the levelling system you are using?
Hi David Perfect level Master Clips they gave different sizes for different thickness tiles all the best Tony 👍
Hey Tony, lovely job by ye, is that a ditra mat that's down before the tile? What's the reason for this mat? Is it necessary when laying large format tile?
I'm starting a 120 sq mtr floor job soon, the slab is that liquid screed, with under floor heating. The system has been leak and pressure tested, and a commissioning cycle has been performed, but the homeowner does not want to sand the screed as the company who poured the floor say that it's not necessary due to what's in the mix that they use. Their data sheet also says nothing about sanding, only that the surface is clean, dry and has 2 coats of adhesive primer applied in opposite directions. Though I'm tiling over 18 years, I'm self taught and this is my first time doing a 1200 x 1200 tile. I think because I'm self taught, I'm extra cautious and careful when it comes to these big jobs. I want the homeowner to get it in writing from the screed company re the sanding of the floor, or else he is going to have to sign something from myself, separating me from any fault if the tiles lift. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Paul in Ireland
Hi Paul, Greg and many other tilers absolutely love it. Make sure you have the floor scarified and then coat with G Primer then lay the matting hope this helps all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Thanks Tony, I use either BOTAMENT D1 or D11 primer mostly, and they also do an uncoupling membrane. My biggest worry is that the homeowner does NOT want to sand the new screed, what do I do???
What would you charge per m2 for that tile and install?
brilliant!
What knee pads. I bought £24 rubi. The elastic moves theres a fault in clip. I've had to put a knot.
Awesome job 😎 what model is the Dewalt laser? Cheers
Great work! Just quick question, what do you guys think of topps tiles adhesive?
Hi Mike much appreciated, never used it personally and I have never seen Greg using it all the best Tony 👍
To be honest Mike i don't rate it but iv only used it once. But I suppose that says it all
Thanks
Greg
Top work Greg, do you not to need a level when you use these big tiles?
Hi Barry much appreciated no just the clips all the best Tony 👍
It's A and E so the sub base would be level😁 so once the adhesive is spread out and notched through those clips just prevent any lippage. When you run your hand over the tiles the surface would be smooth all over. Very satisfying to use them, but the floor needs to be level to start with 👍
@@BuildWithAE Ive got a big house conversion coming up this year & have a 17m x 4m floor to tile & just trying to gather as much info as possible.
@@barryford7135 Hi Barry only use a liquid Screed and a expansion joint as required but also speak to the tiling federation let them know what tile you are using weather it is natural or porcelain and the thickness of tile with the grade rating ie travatine Stone quite weak tend to crack loads of factors all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE thanks for that Tony. I am going to use a liquid screed. I’ve done a fair bit of tiling in the past, but never an area as big as this. Great channel by the way. 👍
A 12mm rounded trawl is the the best for floors
Look nice 👍
Hey much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
Picked up a few tips off you Greg, can I ask what clips you would use if you were laying 1200x900 slate was a thickness variance from 12mm to 8mm 👍🏻top job by the way.
Hi Mark.
I wouldn't use clips on that mate id free lay them and bed them in to make level
Thanks for watching
Greg
This video good help but when it dry how do you take out the locks on the tiles 😂😂😂
Glad you found the video helpful.
Once the adhesive is dry, you simply give the clips a tap with a rubber mallet and the tops snap off. You can then reuse the wedges on the next job.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 👷🏼♂️
What is that yellow thing on the floor ?
Hi Decoupling membrane 👍
Before it gets mist coated by the decorators... what the floor? 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Dodge Dave 😂 good job we have Chris doing it all the best Tony 👍
What blade go you use on your grinder? 🔥🔫
Hi Fire Blaster it’s always a Rubi as far as I know, I will find out from Greg and let you know or he might comment all the best Tony 👍 great tune by the way Wondering_arch fair play to Adam
Haha I love that. Thanks for reply keep up the good work 🔥🔫
3 mm joint is Bs from builder
Mate. There's alot if not all. I'm, me,I, there's another lad there with you.
You really should flatten that mat in before trowelling your bed so it keys 100% into the waffle, other than that you do a lovely job boys.
nice job but Socks ? been tiling 30 years and never had the need to wear socks when grouting :D
What you didn't tell us are that they are bl**dy heavy to lift...LOL....
Hi Glenn not half all the best Tony 👍
costing himself a fortune with those clips. topway clips are masters tool
You mean the customer is😂
Pointless putting large tiles, that are so expensive, in such a small room in my opinion as you don't appreciate them especially once those kitchen units are in.
You did a really nice job.
I guess it's down to personal preference. I love large format tiles.
