I've laid tile for many years. I'll come across youtube to see what tile installers say.This the BEST tutorial I have ever scene. I've seen home depot ... general contractors .... tile installers try to explain. They fail to give the beginner the ah-hah moments with explanations. You not only explain how to do but WHY.You are a GRADE A instructor for laying tile.
I love the way she explains things, thoroughly but without being condescending. Understanding that some of us have zero experience with a subject but are capable of tackling the task is what makes Leah such a wonderful teacher. Thanks, Leah, you make it possible for even me to do a good job at something I never though I could!
not condescending? How about the "don't be afraid of the math" remark? BTW at 3:32, her note shows 78/12 = 6.6 but it is actually 6.5. That comes to the same result: 6'6" that she shows but it's a bit misleading. Nevertheless, this is the best regime of planning placement of the tiles I've seen so far. So, thanks for that, Leah.
As an experienced flooring installer, the method shown in finding center lines for both the length and width of the area to be tiled is a good starting point. If you prefer not to do a lot of math, once the center lines are established, simply take some loose tiles and do a dry trial layout starting at the cross lines. You don't need to layout the entire area, but simply lay a line of tile (making sure to use the intended grout spacing) along both lines to see how big the perimeter cut tiles will be. The ultimate goal is to avoid having narrow pieces of tile along the perimeter. You can move the starting tiles in order to get a pleasing layout.
Always enjoy watching your videos. I have been earning a living doing handyman/maintenance work for companies and my own business for decades and I continue to learn something every time I watch one. Your method of explaining things is golden - thorough and concise at the same time with a tone that offers fearless positivity and faith in the viewer. Thank you!
Leah, you have such a calm and easy manner. I always try to learn from everyone I work with on a jobsite, but I seem to learn more from your videos. I think your true calling is teaching! Please keep these wonderful instructional videos coming!
You are one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. I’m talking parents, in person teachers, books, internet, you name it. Thank you for your knowledge and words of encouragement!
Leah, I can't believe I came across this particular tutorial....I'm about to tile my laundry room floor and didn't know the correct starting point!! Thank you!! Your videos have helped me SO MUCH.
I watched about 10 different instruction videos to know how to lay my tile. They made no sense to me . They did not try to teach . I felt they were more showing off what they know. You my dear , HAVE MADE A WONDERFUL TRAINING VIDEO. YOU MADE EVERYTHING SO CLEAR AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. NO ONE ELSE MADE IT SO SIMPLE HOW TO DETERMINE THE CUTS ON YOUR TILE AND THE SIZE EACH WILL BE. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU
Really outstanding and well thought out videos. I have finished basements (5 of them so far) and done electrical, plumbing , HVAC etc, so I am no beginner, but certainly not a "pro". I always find your videos as great reviews of technique and really in some instances terrific fundamental reviews....as with repetition sometimes comes sloppiness. Great job here....keep them coming.
thank you so much for this informative video, i suffer from dyscalculia and most of the time i don't understand my teachers explainations because it goes a little to fast for me. grateful to have found the tutorial and how great you explain while talking somewhat slowly for all of us to really understand every steps!❤️
An outstanding job introducing one to tile work. Having done my own place, some 1200 square feet, I can say I wish I had the benefit of this young lady's expertise when I started my project. My recommendation to people considering tiling as a job for themselves DIY, is to watch her works and others' works many times. No one video presentation can cover it all. There are many factors to consider when undertaking this sort of work in one's home. Thanks for all this great information! Best wishes for your continued success.
Thanks for the compliment about brightness. I'm not sure I'm any more 'bright' than you or anyone else, but I do what I can to learn what I can and acknowledge people I learn from. Thank you Mr. Torres and best wishes to you and yours in all you do.
Doing a tile job today.. layed tile off and on for years but I was thought how to measure wrong and never liked just laying it out before hand to see how its gonna look..sometimes it's necessary but not always IMO.. you truly are the best! Thanks Babe!!!
Thank you for explaining the math part of this project so clearly. I have Dyscalculia and really struggle with math. I'm just beginning to do DIY home projects and your tutorials help immensely.
I do tiles here and there just my own. I have watched so many videos on line, and your videos are amazing,. Thank you for all your efforts. this a big credit for you in the hereafter. The knowledge you spread benefits alot of people. when anyone learns something from someone, they always remember that person and become greatful.
I had no idea how to begin calculating this, so (don't laugh) I actually used a quilting program to lay out my rectangle shaped floor plan and 'sashing' to add in the grout lines. Worked really well, exactly like your first example, but it looked odd because I ended up with 0.25 inch cuts ....yuck. You've no idea how happy I was to finally run across your video, which confirmed approx. how many tiles I'd need but more importantly helped me move tiles a bit to look better along the borders without tiny pieces to cut. I can go ahead now and snap chalk lines and the layout is still centered, even if the chalk line itself is not in the exact middle point of the room! You're the best - and may I say that I adore your videos. It's rare to see pros so encouraging, or able to explain as well as you do. Please keep making them.
sassyNot4u Hi sassy, Wow, I actually think that using a quilting program to lay out the tile is a really creative and clever idea! And I'm glad that my video was able to help you complete the thought. Thanks so much for your compliment as well! :)
Youre an obvious pro. Im new to the game, and it seems to me you just saved me a ton of time using paper and some numbers. Thank you so much. I hope i get really good at this.
Leah, I really appreciate all the detail into your videos. As a diy'er i have learned quit a bit from your channel. Thank you all the effort and energy you put into them.
All your videos are awesome!! I couldn't find the information anywhere until I came across your video. I appreciate how you explained the math step by step and now I understand how its done right . Thank you so much ! You are the best!!
Thanks for sharing Leah, I've never laid title before, but after watching your video, I believe I can title my concrete porch. I have a few railing posts and square columns to work around, but at least now I can do the overall basic layout. I took metal trades shop class in high school, so I'm familar with fractions and decimals. Lot of people would miss that 5.5 feet is really 5' 6". Smiles...
I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. I want to tile my floor but am sooo clueless. I don't have the funds to pay someone to do it hence my visit here. I'm sooooo glad I found you. I am now a subscriber looking forward to watching you do more.
Thanks for the tutorial I had forgotten the simple but most important basics. Just finished a tile job and your instruction made it quite simple. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks Leah. I'm going to layout my bathroom floor tonight. A bit more tricky as the room is not square. This is a bathroom where the sink cabinet juts out so the floor is more of an L shape. I'm going to use your technique where borrow from a tile to adjust the floor so when I go around the sink cabinet it will line up better so I don't have a sliver of tile wrapping around it. Thanks to you I can see the process clearly and how to work with it to adjust where I need to.
Thank you. You explained (and demonstrated) the chalk line application in a way that made sense and stressed the points that were not clear to me. The scary math was another reason I didn’t feel confident enough to rely on my own measure. When the time comes I’ve bookmarked this video so I may have a welcomed visual reference. Cheers Susan 🐾
Thank you dear. I have a small bathroom to do. I am determined to do it myself but also recognize that I need some help. Your video has been most helpful. Thanks again.
Where where you when I needed you 12 years ago when I started tiling? Your method of explaining is so on the money and you, lady, sound like solid gold yourself and I could easily work for a boss like you. Cheers from The Great White North!
No one should not know how to do this stuff, money is thin around here so doing my own work is a must. Without these videos id be paying someone else money and they may even install it wrong... thanks for taking the time to make these vids
Wow lovely.. highly admire that you share your technical knowledge and technical know-how with public freely. Thanks lot..ohhh amazing. I am so lucky to find your valuable idea after long search.
Leah, you are truly amazing. I wish you had one of these done for the diamond pattern. Doing a small 5 x 5 ish bathroom. Thank you for all your videos.
Jane thanks for getting back to me. I was surprised it was so soon. New to computers. My wife and I think you are such a good person and knowledgeable love your vids subscribing now. Thanks again. John
Lady, if I would have had you as a math teacher in school I could have been an engineer. You make it understandable the first time. Thanks for posting,
I'm laying a diagonal pattern using 6x24 wood look tile in a 12x12 room. I just ran a line from corner to corner and I'm laying my first tile centered in the middle...:-) My opinion, Id rather cut the smaller tile around the edges and keep the larger tile in the main walking area. Since most people keep furniture next to the walls anyway...;-) And everyone should buy one of those contour guage's , which are only about $12. and help you with making cuts along baseboards etc. Don't be afraid of making cuts! I bought the cheapest tile cutting saw at Lowe's and it still works great, even after cutting tons of marble flooring ...:-) The saw blade will not cut you, with a wet saw...:-) Oh, I always lay out my tile and make cuts before I adhere it to the floor...this way, I know I like the pattern or not...:-) And laying it down goes much faster...:-)
watching this video helped me get my career started. you are an awesome teacher. I would love to have learned from you face to face. Well, I guess I kinda did, lol. plz keep the greats vids coming. you rock
How do you account for the grout lines? Won't your lines be off if you don't take that into account? Grout lines can be 1/16, 3/16, etc. That adds up across a room.
This video is a great tutorial, she knows what she doing, i just finished laying 1000 sq ft of tile in my house and being that it was built in 2000, it was very square. I did as this video stated and had no problems. Since the house is truly square maybe a 1/2 " off and using 12x24 tiles i have 4 in cuts on each side, out of curiosity and for future reference, why couldn't i have done one 8 in cut and the other would have been a full 12"? Is this video saying that the finished job would look off because its not equal on all sides?

I totally agree with you brother.
not when the information is wrong
jsjones418 what's wrong with it?
So what about the space between tiles? It was never mentioned.
yes what about the grout, why isnt that taken into account?
I love the way she explains things, thoroughly but without being condescending. Understanding that some of us have zero experience with a subject but are capable of tackling the task is what makes Leah such a wonderful teacher.

Leah, your teaching style and explanations are clear, concise and easily understood. You are an absolutely first rate teacher! 5 stars!

Hands down the BEST diy teacher on YT or anywhere...seen TOH...they go 100 mph and do not explain ...but she’s the BEST
Not sure if you are still here, but thank you for this video. This was helpful in figuring out how much tile to get and how we needed to lay it out.
Fantastic, glad it was helpful! Good luck with your project.
thank you so much for this informative video, i suffer from dyscalculia and most of the time i don't understand my teachers explainations because it goes a little to fast for me. grateful to have found the tutorial and how great you explain while talking somewhat slowly for all of us to really understand every steps!❤️
I too have dyscalculia, and discovered finally that drawing pictures, manipulating shapes, etc. is terribly helpful.

+seejanedrill You are most welcome. Best wishes -
is just that's what I do for living and I know is not that complicated but I guess this is just for bright people like yourself.
Thanks for the compliment about brightness. I'm not sure I'm any more 'bright' than you or anyone else, but I do what I can to learn what I can and acknowledge people I learn from. Thank you Mr. Torres and best wishes to you and yours in all you do.

This is by far the BEST explanation I’ve come across. Thank you.
Lady, you are the best! You explain everything short and sweet.
thanks, Jaime!
I've been laying tile for 30 years and you explained it very well. Excellent video.
Thanks OldTimeGamer
She has the best tutorials i have ever seen on UA-cam. Amazing instructor!

I've learned a lot of different things from Leah. You're a great teacher!
I'd love to apprentice under you. Your instruction is clear and concise. Thanks for the video👍
I used this guide for my new bathroom and it was perfect. You are great for posting these guides. thank you.
you're welcome, Samuel, glad it worked out for you!
Thank you for explaining the math part of this project so clearly. I have Dyscalculia and really struggle with math. I'm just beginning to do DIY home projects and your tutorials help immensely.
i also have dyscalculia and im having such a hard time in classe sometimes, it really is tough for me😭
You provided the best instructions for finding the center of the room to tile... I believe I can do it.
+Jenean Armstrong yes, you can!! thanks for commenting. :)

If I use this method for 3 shower walls, do I do the same for each wall?
Youre an obvious pro. Im new to the game, and it seems to me you just saved me a ton of time using paper and some numbers. Thank you so much. I hope i get really good at this.
Leah, I really appreciate all the detail into your videos. As a diy'er i have learned quit a bit from your channel. Thank you all the effort and energy you put into them.
Just want to thank you for the to the point, simple explanation here. I will definitely benefit from watching your video. Thanks!
Dan Futran You're welcome, Dan, and thanks for commenting!
Next to the essential craftsman you are my favorite. Great for beginners as well as experienced.
All your videos are awesome!! I couldn't find the information anywhere until I came across your video. I appreciate how you explained the math step by step and now I understand how its done right . Thank you so much ! You are the best!!
I am doing my first tile job. I found your video to be very thorough and well explained. You were not rambling. great job. Thanks for posting.

This is absolutely one of the best videos i have seen about correctly laying tiles.Thank you.Great job
you're welcome, and thank you very much!
Thank you, Leah! You're brilliant! Thank you for explaining it in simple terms and math on paper! Saved my remodel and my sanity!

also how do you know where to measure the room I was told to measure my windows in three places do I need to do the same with laying tile?
loner314 Hello! I'm glad you found us. For a simple rectangular or square room, you only need to measure in 2 places...length and width.
Thanks you so much for posting, Leah. I'm preparing to lay tile for the first time, and your video was very helpful. You're a wonderful teacher!
TheSDHJR You're welcome, and thank you! I appreciate the compliment, and am glad my video was helpful to you. :)
This was incredibly helpful and she taught and at the speed I needed to understand. Love you.

Absolutely awesome tutorial. Clear, concise and simple, easy to follow instructions.
+SuperArmydog thanks, glad it was helpful!
This was by far the best explanation on laying tile so far that I've seen on youtube. If you can't figure it out .. then good luck.
i must go 5 years to hiscool to understand this😕
🙏🏾Thank you for the encouragement and a valuable lesson for first time tile artists.
You're the best online educator in the world.
Thank you dear. I have a small bathroom to do. I am determined to do it myself but also recognize that I need some help. Your video has been most helpful. Thanks again.
Joanne Viechweg You're very welcome!
As usual your detail oriented of the subject and careful planning is outstanding. Looking forward to see new videos.
thank you very much!
Where where you when I needed you 12 years ago when I started tiling?
Your method of explaining is so on the money and you, lady, sound like solid gold yourself and I could easily work for a boss like you.
Cheers from The Great White North!
I was just in Vancouver last month GREAT time. What a friendly, welcoming place, eh!
Good tutorial Jane. Clear and to the point. Thanks for your time and efforts to educate the masses of diy.
:)
You are awesome m, I'll be starting to lay some tile at home and I had no idea where to start, thank you so much!!
+Martin Arreola you're very welcome, Martin, glad it was helpful!
Leah,you are the best.When in doubt, I always check your videos.Thanks for sharing.
🙂
You have a strong Sage Grandmother vibe. Truly a pleasure to learn from you.
🙂
Love your videos Leah, this one's a little old, but one of the best on laying out floor tile!!!
you have some of the best videos i have seen easy to understand and follow thank a lot
No one should not know how to do this stuff, money is thin around here so doing my own work is a must. Without these videos id be paying someone else money and they may even install it wrong... thanks for taking the time to make these vids
Very intelligent woman, love watching her videos. Keep it up !
Excellent video!! Thank you. Now we feel a lot more comfortable starting our floor.
you're welcome, and good luck with your project!
Clear, articulate, and easy instruction. THANK YOU THIS VID SOLVED MY ISSUE! 💚💚💚
fantastic!
Very good lesson! I can never lay tile down properly and this lesson solved all my problems. Thank you !!
That was a great video. The presentation was very clear and easy to understand....
thanks, Don, glad you liked it!
Thank you , best ,easiest to follow video on the subject.
Now to figure out how to lay 16 inch tiles in small irregular shaped bathroom .
Another patiently taught and coherent tutorial video, Leah! Thank you always!
+Steve Stanley you're very welcome, Stanley, and thanks for your comments.
As a certified floor coverer I approve this message 👌🏽
Wow lovely.. highly admire that you share your technical knowledge and technical know-how with public freely. Thanks lot..ohhh amazing. I am so lucky to find your valuable idea after long search.
thank you, I'm glad you found us too!
Thanks Jane just what I needed . Clear a and concise instructions .
Hi Bob, glad the video was helpful! thanks for writing. :)
Thank you so much. You are a very good teacher.
Thanks, Leah! Great to know! Starting our bathroom project tomorrow! Can't wait!
Leah, you are truly amazing. I wish you had one of these done for the diamond pattern. Doing a small 5 x 5 ish bathroom. Thank you for all your videos.
You’re an excellent instructor.
Great Job with the Explanations.... Really Good!!! Thank you!
Jane thanks for getting back to me. I was surprised it was so soon. New to computers. My wife and I think you are such a good person and knowledgeable love your vids subscribing now. Thanks again. John
you're welcome, John, and thank you for your kind comments!
Lady, if I would have had you as a math teacher in school I could have been an engineer. You make it understandable the first time. Thanks for posting,
finally, I can understand this process. thank you
Good advice and a technique I've used for many years.
I'm laying a diagonal pattern using 6x24 wood look tile in a 12x12 room. I just ran a line from corner to corner and I'm laying my first tile centered in the middle...:-)
My opinion, Id rather cut the smaller tile around the edges and keep the larger tile in the main walking area. Since most people keep furniture next to the walls anyway...;-)
And everyone should buy one of those contour guage's , which are only about $12. and help you with making cuts along baseboards etc. Don't be afraid of making cuts! I bought the cheapest tile cutting saw at Lowe's and it still works great, even after cutting tons of marble flooring ...:-) The saw blade will not cut you, with a wet saw...:-)
Oh, I always lay out my tile and make cuts before I adhere it to the floor...this way, I know I like the pattern or not...:-) And laying it down goes much faster...:-)
watching this video helped me get my career started. you are an awesome teacher. I would love to have learned from you face to face. Well, I guess I kinda did, lol. plz keep the greats vids coming. you rock
thanks!
You're the Best, Ms. Jane. Smart Lady👍
You’re an awesome teacher :) I love it 😻
Great teaching. Very helpful!!

+RikWCrlsn thanks!
After all this time ,I’m coming back here just to recheck 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Thank you.
This tutorial was a BIG help. Thank you!
Alrighty then Leah! I feel so confident now to start working on my rooms
***** Great! Thanks for commenting, and good luck! :)
Wonderful video! Thank you for taking the time to explain in such detail. I feel like I can do it!
Trisha Gods You're welcome, Trisha, and you can! :)
The purple ad was hilarious. Love it that you even pointed how to lay the tile out. Better that you explained it well.
How do you account for the grout lines? Won't your lines be off if you don't take that into account? Grout lines can be 1/16, 3/16, etc. That adds up across a room.
Thanks! Really great video to check my logic before getting started.
Kallie Clark You're welcome, Kallie, glad it was helpful!
Awesome smile Leah thanks for the video keep up the good work
🙂
I learned a lot from this simple and clear tutorial! Nice job Jane! Definitely subscribing to your channel!
Does the calculation include the slight gaps (spacers) between each tile? This must add an inch extra so after a few tiles have gone down?
Awesome instructions. Great video!
very well explained, going do it next week. Thanks.
thanks, Jason, and good luck with your project!
This video is a great tutorial, she knows what she doing, i just finished laying 1000 sq ft of tile in my house and being that it was built in 2000, it was very square. I did as this video stated and had no problems. Since the house is truly square maybe a 1/2 " off and using 12x24 tiles i have 4 in cuts on each side, out of curiosity and for future reference, why couldn't i have done one 8 in cut and the other would have been a full 12"? Is this video saying that the finished job would look off because its not equal on all sides?
Excellent instruction, thank you
