great work. important to not only to work hard but also to work smart, as seen here.
Jeff... I don't know if I messed up or not. I used Mapei Ultraflex 1 to install a mosaic glass tile in the shower... it was a BEAR, but now my brother told me that we used the wrong mortar, and Im freaking out. Will the mortar that we used be ok, or are we in deep poo poo, and need to take it down and start over. Its been drying for about 12 hours.
I hope you get this soon.. FREAKING OUT...
Hi rob! the question you need to look at is did you use a waterproofing system. If so then the mortar should be non modified for best results. if the tile is small then you will be o.k. but if not then the mortar will not cure and be dangerous. non modified takes longer to cure and works better on waterproofing systems since the longer the cement stays wet the harder it gets. Modified works the opposite way. it needs to dry in 1 day and cures fast and has an adhesive to help it bond. the longer it stays wet the weaker the bond. Let me know how you fare! Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Yes we did redgard. The mortar we used was Mapei Ultraflex 1 with polymer. It was suggested to us because we used redgard. After 12 hours we cannot move one of the small tiles, so I think we are in the clear.. I actually contacted Mapie to get their advice. Thanks for the very quick response! I know you have a LOT of questions coming at you.
Hello What type of thin-set did you use on this project?
I remember the days before youtube when i was green i had to stand around and learn from the previous generation of craftsman. You were only as good as the person who was teaching you. Now the younger generation can essentially learn from multiple people without taking up their bad habits. Ive been in the construction biz for about 17 years now and am glad that i can see the way other guys do their installs. I'll admit ive learned a few new tricks watching your videos. Keep up the good work!!
Josh T. Don’t forget from different continents
Thanks Josh we intend to do exactly that!
There is no doubt UA-cam is of immense help, but a good foundation to some capacity in form of construction including use of tools is helpful... For me, I have been woodworking since about 5th grade. I quickly grew to the type that would not use anyone else's plans so designed my own. It was when I owned my first home that I really understood what woodworking provided me. I started to do some home improvements and realized my skills overlapped, if not just ability, knowledge of tools and construction theory. I can look at something and quickly work in my head how to do it. Prior to UA-cam, I would just visit homes in various stages and learn that way.
Another problem is just like the Internet, you have to be able to sift through who is good, vs. others who take shortcuts, teaches poor practice, rigid in specific instruction technique proving to cost you more, or has little knowledge. In short, you can get yourself in trouble be it codes you did not know of, safety issues or just a poorly built system that fails in a short period of time. So, just like anything on the internet, you have to confirm your source. This guy here seems to teach from a common sense perspective giving you good info, while understanding most will have limited skill or knowledge. While I am type A, I certainly have learned some tips and process from him. Type A however means I not just have to agree with theory, or principle, but that it makes sense. I do things differently especially in terms of accuracy or "perfect" layouts and final result.
If you are the type to quickly identify what is outrageous or wrong vs. necessary, these videos can be of help. But nothing replaces experience or a good foundation. A tool is a tool, and while you may need to use it a little differently be it speed, type of bit, etc. it does help. If you don't have any experience I reccmend against UA-cam for major things like "a bathroom renovation". Too much can go wrong if you fail to understand it, which can actually decrease the value of your home. At the same time if you really are handy, you can build something better than any contractor for less money than they charge. They need to make money, so there are always shortcuts, not just in materials, but labor quality.
UA-cam has been my best friend. I don't know anyone to show me these trade tips, and it's just me. I had a tradesman insult me and tell me "oh people take a class at home depot and now they know how to do tile" but in reality we need our generation to learn these trades, because most young people won't know how to do anything if we don't learn now.
I have been doing carpet cleaning & carpet repairs for 3 years now , and i recently opend my own carpet cleaning companing. I watched a few youtube video on how to install carpet and did it first in a small room, i already knew how to do seams and strech etc.. but youtube taught me how to install on steps . I love youtube.
You are my spirit animal. I am going to tile my bathroom today. I pray I can stay as calm as you my friend!
Usually after I watch videos of people showing how to do things/jobs, Im left with unanswered questions. After this video, I don't have any questions lol that's a fantastic job on your part! You know how to build confidence in others! Thanks
tile is as easy as being happy with every piece you install. take your time and you too can build a masterpiece. Cheers!
Tried the keraboard T for the glass. Had to use additive as we are using porcelain tile to finish. The stuff was nothing but sloppy stuff.
Frustraiting for sure, but had an emergency plan and had spacers ready to hold between tile spaces for glass mosaic. Hope this junk dries. I am going back to the AllSet thinset for sure.
Awesome video. This is EXACTLY the project I am doing this weekend. Thanks for posting this and so many other posts for us ambitious DYIers!!!
Who needs lofi study beats when you have this guy's voice? 100% most relaxing study background noise.
Jeff-first, thanks SO MUCH for making these videos! They’re a great help for me as I design my bathroom remodel tiling job. I’ll know what to ask a prospective tiler about his prepping. Looks like the Schluter waterproofing system is an excellent belt-and-suspenders way to go! Second, your remark in this video about putting the glass tile at 5 feet above the tub got me curious about the Golden Ratio and how close it is to that 5-foot mark. Turns out, for an 8-foot ceiling, 5 feet is exactly on the Golden Ratio. As the Australians say, good on you! People will find that ratio especially pleasing and beautiful.
Thank you for this, it was helpful! I added this to an interior design project on tile walls on proper instillation.!
An easy way of getting equally big tiles at both ends is:
1. Measure the width of the wall, ex 2500mm, mark half the distance at 1250mm
2. Do the same with the tile you intend to use, ex 150mm, mark half the distance onto the tile at 75mm
3. Put the tile against the wall, and let the 2 marks line up, hold the tile with the 2 marks lining up and draw a new line on the left side of the tile.
This new line will be the ”start”, and voilà! You will now have 2 equally long/big tiles at both ends.
Thanks for a great video, keep up the good work!

I know now from watching other tiling videos that working in a somewhat clean manner is so important. Your work is so clean! Beautiful!
Five thumbs up! Your videos are FABulous. I'm a 58year old female (with hand arthritis) and I successfully tiled my basement bathroom with your help from this video and others you made. If a tornado comes my way, I'll be sitting in that tub! One thing to note: not all manufacturers have the same spacer sizing, so 1/8" in one brand is not the same as 1/8" in another. Believe me, it makes a difference. Also, that tile slicing thing that I had ($30 from Home Depot) SUCKED. Fortunately, I had a Canadian Tire wet/dry tile saw and that thing saved my butt. Caught a couple of sprays in the face from not putting the guard down, lol. Thank you so much.
I love watching this guy work. He has a very good eye for details.
Love the laser level. Even when you apply thinset, the line is always there
I remember being the tile cutter for my dad. Makes me wish I had s kid for my projects haha
Awesome advice, and thorough. Thanks!!
Thanks for all of the great videos Jeff. I am just finishing up a full bathroom reno, and i followed your videos the whole way from demo, new subfloor, new PEX plumbing, Kerdi board tub surround, luxery vinyle tile floor, toilet, vanity and tub installation, and finishing. I have never tile work before and completed a beatiful subway tile shower with niche and decorative strip. Do you have a place where fans can share photos of their work? Thanks Jeff!
Every women's dream guy. A true craftsman. 🔨📐🖌️
That is what my wife says every day. LOL
This is my meditation man! Thanks for the tips! I used to flip out when I would do projects, the demons would manifest. Your calm approach has helped me see I can approach my projects in this way.
wow glad to help with that. I too had a stress level that was off the chart at one time in my life. Now I enjoy just keeping it calm!
that grinder trick... freakin sick man.. i love youtube.. 15 years ago you needed to work for years with the right people to be able to pick up all these tips
Knowledge is power. And I just love empowering people. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY love and respect my man.
I love watching your project always thanks
Really great work just did a back splash in my kitchen from watching your videos. I can say when you said I make it look easy, your Right!!! It had some imperfections for sure but not bad for my first ever attempt.
The way you speak is very pleasant to listen to. Thank you for making this video it was very clear and informative.
Jesus you're fine... just absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Jeff, you’re an incredible teacher and I love watching your videos. I am building a shower with Kerdi board and tray and have a thinset question. I looked up the Kerabond T you used in the video and Mapei says I need to add Keralastic in order to use on glass tile and impervious surfaces. I believe this makes it a modified mortar however. I noticed you just mixed it with water- any thoughts on this? I’ll be using large format 12x24 ceramic tiles for shower walls/floors and over Ditra with a glass tile mosaic around the border similar to what you did. I’ve seen people use Ardex X77, Ardex 7+8 and then there is All Set. Tile store gave me Mapei Ardilex P10 for the glass but it’s modified. So many choices! Thanks again for your help!
Who could possibly give you other than a thumbs up. I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for your great demeanor and patience to explain and make these videos. You know your stuff. Keep em coming.
Great video and you can tell you’re a professional who has done this many times. Thank you for the video! One question: it appears you’re backer board goes behind the tub and your tile just in front of the tub flange. I didn’t think this was the norm and that the backer board should come down to the top of the tub flange with the tile coming down to the tub can you clarify this for me please?
would love to see more long videos from demo to finishing touches in a room like you did before...those were a lot more fun and informative. Please do more!! :)
On the way Bruno! Cheers!
The kerabond cement that you used for this mosaic tile would work on usg durock board for a tile shower ? I want to retile my bathroom.. thanks also what kind would be the right cement to use to install my 4x12 subway tile on durarock board? Tia. Your videos are awesome thanks for sharing great info and good tips and tricks!👍👌👏🙋♂️
Can't wait for the rest of the videos in this series to see how it all comes together, great work!
Me Too!!! Cheers!
Hey Jeff. Really appreciate your videos. Question. How would one tile a wall on an existing cast iron tub that does not have the tile flange sticking up? And keep it dry. Thank you
Dude you have no idea how much you have taught me... Thank You!
Hello!! You taping and muddling between tub and wall! Just recommended!!
Thanks for the detailed step-by-step. Is there anything that can be done to make sure that you don't end with a sliver tile at the top?
One of best construction youtub videos,
......I have a question, You had cut first long row, is just becasue the short tub tile is lower? Right
I have spent all weekend watching you. Enjoying your videos. I want to tile my shower ceiling; 2" x 16" subway tile. I now know how to map, but am curious your advice on continuing from the wall to the ceiling. Thanks.
You're just so chill my man. Thanks for the video.
Happy to help! Cheers!
Woah, glad I found this video! I am tiling a tub surround tomorrow with 4x12 subway tiles. Have you ever had a problem with lippage on a tile like a 4x12? The tile I have is a 4x12 ceramic with a slight wavyness to the face and has a little bit of a cup to it. I know you're not supposed to use a 50% offset on a large format tile because it can cause lippage with a cupped tile, but I really do like how it looks.
Haven't tiled in a while. Doing the same tile in a new bath. Glad I came upon this video. Thx so much for the down to earth teaching.
Cheers Billy, How did it go?
Same tile like in my bathroom. Good job!
Awesome as allways Jeff. Best DIY channel on You Tube
You explain things very well. Professional work! Thank you.
Cheers!
Great instruction Jeff! Wet tile saw question (that nobody else seems to answer) : If you have to set up your wet tile saw outside during February, when temperatures are sub-zero, how can you prevent the water in your saw from freezing between cuts (or a lunch break). Ice expansion would destroy the water pump and other components. Can alcohol or automotive anti-freeze be added to the slurry water to prevent freezing, or would that destroy pump seals and other components?
I like my mapei glass and the adhesive. But this looks nice one bag instead of two items. But they do the same job. 😯
this kerabondT is a non modified cement for use with glass and tile on waterproof membrane with a no sag formula. really premium stuff.
Love your content! Whats the maximum distance you can have for tile to tub when using shims?
another excellent video from a master professional!
As Always, perfect explaination ! Thanks.
Thanks, Cheers!
Hey Jeff, thanks for the video. I noticed that you said you will end up with a full tile at the top and bottom (which is why you cut the mosaic where and how you did), but how, when I measure before I start, so I compensate for the grout spaces? Is it as simple (or maybe tedious) as adding up all those “1/8” spaces and doing the math? Thanks again.
Great video's keep them coming doing a shower now wish me luck, I am a major DIYer and love to sit back and tell them ( I did that)
Good job man. Quick tip for ya I use a Stanley staple gun to hold tile trims in place. Work every time
Love the glass mosaic solution. We just brought a place and I thought it was weird they didn''t tile to the roof. I reckon I know why now. 🤣
Very informational video. We really like the Ardex x5. It's a great 'all around' thin set. We'll even use it as a light weight thin set. Super important, didn't see you doing this: whatever way you directional trowel...when you put the tile on the wall, push it in and wiggle it the opposite way that you troweled...sure fire way to get full coverage! Great video thanks for putting it out there!
directional troweling is for large format tile on the floor. Or wet areas. If you place your tile like I do and then push to slide it up and over you will collapse the ridges regardless of which way you trowel. Cheers!
Jeff, first just wanted to say how much I appreciate your quality and professionalism in these videos. I've been looking at doing a subway tile for a while now, but there are so many types, styles, quality, and prices. Wanted to know what I should look for in just a basic subway tile and how much it should cost generally (knowing that prices can be different in different areas since I live in the U.S.) Also, are places like Home Depot and Lowes my best bet for that? Thanks for all your doing to educate the previously ignorant, and still at times, DIYers that want to put their backs into it. :)
You are right the prices vary huge for a lot of reasons. if you waterproof your shower and use cement to install tile you can always afford to use ceramic and get a long lasting result since the strength is in the cement. be careful of box store tile it usually comes with a lot of variance in size and creates a lot more work to install. I always buy from the tile store. better product. Cheers!
Awesome!!!! Thanks again bro!!
Awesome and educational - thank you again!!
Thanks for that, awesome of you too comment. Cheers!
Hello, thanks for your videos, I was wondering if you might be kind enough to help with this query: When grouting floor tiles, is it ok to grout the perimeter up to the wall, or does an expansion gap need to left? thanks
As an experienced renovator, this guy talks so much sense, is a great teacher and has a great channel, subway tiles are great until you have to regrout down the track, then they are a major pain with all the extra grout lines to remove, would love to buy that laser level, just wondering what other uses it would have apart from bathroom reno's?
Sweet..as to be expected top notch. They call him Reno Ninja..hes a master..a master of renovation.
Thank You Mr Brown, Cheers my friend!
That was really good to watch! thank you. Please may I ask what colour your grout is? I am in England and have just bought Mapei ultracolour plus Manhatten grey, is that the same?
Very good instruction! I am about to start my very first tile job. I am putting tile above my one piece tub surround. The surround went in a long time ago and I am just now putting the tile above it. I am wondering if I need to remove all the silicone sealer just at the top edge of the surround before placing my tile on it, or can I just begin tiling on top of the silicone seal?
Would love to buy the exact color/brand tile you used for the project. Where can we acquire it? Your instruction is very well done ... thank you!
Great job as always!
You've convinced me I can tile my showers by myself. =D
Great video, thanks starting our shower tile install. Isn't it best though to lay your first tile row all the way around the enclosure ( the 3 walls) and get them all the same level? I think one has to find the lowest point with respect to tub level to just begin to start to tile(?) Would be great to address that.. thanks again.
I'd love to watch you build an entire house. you are a true craftsman. thank you and cheers
Thank you Rawl, Cheers!
This old house has sold out leaving an ‘open market’ for Home RenoVision DIY
dUDE, what do you mean, they have always been commercially based.
ATOH has historically been commercial, but consideration for the consumer was there. Nowadays they hype unproven solutions, shoot teaser videos, and cater to people looking to spend money. I 'm glad @@HomeRenoVisionDIY is stepping up to the plate!
So I've made an observation about your particular schluter install vs others I've seen. I've noticed that other installers overlap the schluter board over the lip of the tub, while yours meets it. I'm assuming you used the kerdi fix adhesive to seal the board to the tub to make it waterproof. My question is why you would do this as opposed to the overlap? Is it purely for tiling and getting a clean straight line?
The part when he threw the tile in he cement made me laugh!
Good work. I do this for a living, everything looks right.
Cheers!
Great video! Thx for sharing your knowledge. I wanted to ask you what would be the consequences of using adhesive for tiling a shower instead of thin-set?
adhesive is only allowable on a drywall substrate. so no waterproofing there.
love your videos. the tips are amazing!
Aw man, it looked so good I wanted to see the finished tile work
you will need to watch the reality renovision episode when it is released in a few weeks. It will have all the before and after pics as well. Cheers!
I wish I had watched this before I tiled my shower lol. So many problems I ran into and took me about a week to complete. On future videos can you show how to tile this same pattern with a mosaic and tile around a window. That's basically what I had to deal with and the results were less than desirable. Love the content and thank you for the detailed info.
Hi Matt, I love to use marble or corian or quartz around the window. much easier to install and leave it extended about a 1/4 inch so it looks awesome with the rest of the shower.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY This is the answer I have been searching for!! Awesome Jeff! I have a shower just like the one in the video except it has a window on the back wall and i couldnt figure out what to do with it. Think I will use corian. Cheers sir.
you know alot ..respect!
so you leave a tile thickness from the adjacent wall from the tile your laying down? amazing no one talks about this
What size grout lines do you recommend on a 3 x 12 tile?
Great job explaining!
Just subscribed to your channel. I followed your drywall series and my walls have turned out great!!!! My question for you is do you always use and angle grinder to cut your tile? What would you recommend to cut subway glass tile for a shower? Cheers.
Great videos. Much appreciated. I’m DIY my shower with this subway tile and smaller hexagon on the shower floor. Do you suggest doing the wall first, then the shower floor? I assume so. Also, do you have a suggestion or video how to cut an individual smaller hexagon in half? Thanks in advance for your reply.
I would do the floor first so you can hide all the small cuts. Cheers!
I have a question for you. I tiled my bath tub and shower but one place has quite a gap on the bottom.
Should I mortar it or put some caulking in there first before I grout. It is quite deep.
Great video as always, just wondering why you don’t have a guard on the grinder?
Very well explained, where can I find a video on bathroom wall prep. Meaning what board and moisture protection steps do I need to do before tackling it 🤔
Jeff, first of all thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Question- I need to put tiles on bathroom ceiling. What cement to use? I m in Toronto.
Thank you
The best work. congratulations
Great info thanks... Question: what is the best tile for a shower wall? Lighter tile? Thanks
Your the best. Thanks again
Every day is a schoolday , Cheers Jeff.
Never stop learning. Makes life a little more bearable. Cheers!
Thank you for ANOTHER great project? I love this channel!! Question: Is kerabond also recommended with porcelain wall tile? Also you mentioned using it to tile the side of a tub? Will this stick to acrylic or fiberglass tub?
Kerabond can be used with any stone or tile. And sorry I was not referring to actually tiling the tub itself just installing it over the tile flange. And yes it sticks to anything that is not porous!
Im starting tiling first time this week. Last video you did you applied ciment to the tile now you spply ciment to the wall. Is it size of the tile the issue?
Another trade I plan on learning in a future.
Great videos!! So here's my question: I'm installing subway tile in the shower ans shiplap on the ceiling. How do I transition from tile to shiplap?
Papa Bear I would cut the ship lap shy of the tile for expansion in the humid air of the shower. Then I would install a piece of trim in the corners to cover the gap.
GREAT JOB !!✌️👍👍
Great video as always.
Hi. You did WONDERFUL GREAT JOB!!! I'm wondering if you need to soak the tiles in a bucket of water for three days to avoid cracks? thank you.
Great set of videos Jeff. Very enjoyable. Why don't you back butter the tiles?
great video! I am doing a vertical glass mosaic, would you apply the glass first, OR apply the glass after the subway is set OR apply the glass as you go?
depends on the thickness of the glass vs tile. If same do the glass first. Cheers!
Thanks for another great video. I understand that after I get my first row of tile level I should complete the back wall prior to the other two sides. Do I leave a gap in the corner so that the side tiles fit into the corner or do I butt the back wall tiles into the corners?
Hi Karen, a tiny gap is good . This needs to be finished with silicone to avoid cracking . Cheers!
again great job Jeff. would like to see more videos :)
Hi Jack, we will guarantee every Saturday night. these Tuesday releases are bonus for guys like you! Cheers!
Wowyourthe best great tips here thanks
Very good video. Thank you!
Hey ! Nice job I’m planning to do some like this to mi house and I would like to ask your opinion on what kind of a adhesive should I use ...
Great video...but no pipe seal used from Kerdi? Why did you skip this step?
