    EDITORS NOTE - The video incorrectly states that tile sealer must be used. You do not need to use tile sealer on porcelain tile.

    This is the correct way to install . Prep is not over kill this is the way and the correct way to have a long lasting tile job . This is how my company been doing it for 18 years and still going strong no call back perfect installation . Great video. Do it this way you'll never have grout cracking loose tiles . And installing this type of floor always grout seal the tile before grouting let it dry then grout clean then seal your grout .

    • @annettegarcia1950

      What if you are installing over a concrete subfloor? And why not just seal the tile and the grout all at the same time?

    • @Kyle9o4
      @Kyle9o4 6 років тому

      Concrete subfloors don't require an underlayment. they have "crack isolation" products for settling slabs, in which case you can use a membrane or a mesh tape. I've always sealed the tile after everything is grouted, but with more times than not that wood plank has a texture to it which makes it a bit more tasking to clean during the grout process.

    i'm researching tile installation as i'm getting ready to install the same size tile in one of my bedrooms. this video is great in that it offers a very thorough overview of the work to be done. that said, there's more to it than what this video covers, but again this is an awesome overview of the work to be done. in my research the most important thing is the prep work. my house is a bit of a "proving ground" for me. i do all my "firsts" on my house and learn from trial and error before i work on someone else's house. i'm very excited about this project. that DITRA in the video is a must in my opinion. its something you never see people doing. they just tile straight to the concrete floor. nope - not me. i want to get it right. i'm definitely using the the DITRA for my project.

    I still use this underlayment on concrete every chance I get. It is a crack isolation membrane and allows for the concrete to equalize its moisture with in its self. They surprised me on getting this video pretty acutely. When setting tile it’s 1/4” back and forth movement to lay over the notches and expel the air. And to water proof a room you also tape up onto the walls. I stay away from the silicone idea and leave it blank. Silicone is only good for 7 years and if it hardens it would be the same as hard packing.

      No matter what you’ll need a expansion gap for the title so it never buckle due to weather causing the house to expand and shrink but if your titling concrete you usually don’t need that as concrete already has moisture in it so there’s no point. that’s why you use a pre treated sill plates for framing

    Help What is the orange layer mat. A few years ago Lowes just removed the laminate to concrete slab and thin set the tile to slab. Now is the orange layer mat required or is it necessary. Seems to be a lot of extra work..

    what off set did you use in the installation of this tile? I've been reading on this, and every thing says to use a 1/3 off set? but in this video is not really in any kind of set pattern.

      Hi, Albert. Manufacturer recommends 33% offset maximum for this type of tile. Might be tough to see in the video but that's what we used. Thanks for watching.

    I tiled my kitchen in my last house, but didn’t tile under the dishwasher or stove. It looked fine. I did tile under the fridge because it gets moved regularly. Why do you tile under the appliances. I also applied the tile straight to the slab. No issues with cracking. If I am applying straight to the slab, why do I need layers of other materials? I’m probably doing the floors in the house we’re building, so, I need to know the why for these things. I want to do it right.

    The only thing this video showed me is that I shouldn't complain nor question why someone charges me whatever they charge me whatever number they say. They deserve their fair pay.

    Could you install over the original tile?

      You can, but you need to make sure it's in good, solid shape. Here's more info on prepping for tile: www.lowes.com/projects/bed-and-bath/prep-tile-floor/project
