Those tiles look great. I have the same colour cabinets and white countertops and was looking at replacing backsplash with a similar tile. So now I know what it will look like in my kitchen. Good job.
Is the Mapei type 1 mastic better than using thin-set? Should the first sheet be raised off the counter about 1/8" to allow for a caulk bead? I will be using a 2" hex brushed travertine mosaic from Floor & Decor and they tell me that i have to apply sealer before and after grouting. Is that correct? Thanks for the video... great work.
Did you grout the same day? The Tile adhesive I use I always have to grout the next day in order for it to cure. So I end up making less on the project compared to if I could grout same day
I just bought the same mosaic style tile (3” hexagon) , how did you cut the outlet out if the outlet falls in the middle of the piece? I seen you had the same situation in your video. Any tips would sure be appreciated! Thank you
Hey I used a angle grinder with a 4 inch tile blade to cut around the outlets. And a tile wet saw for all the strate cuts. Good luck on your project. Thanks for watching 👍
MY FIRST TIME EVER for home improvement DIY. My college daughter wants to do this back flash ourselves she doesn't want us to spend too much money on remodeling our kitchen. This video looks so easy and simple. I think I will try to do the back flash after they installed our cabinets. WISH US LUCK guys!
@@JustinMacKenzie While we were waiting on our kitchen, we remodeled our 3 bathrooms. After that, my husband told me forget it! just let the cabinets guys install everything counter tops and backflash! we went with quartzite. I can post a short video of my kitchen. Still NOT complete yet! it's been 5 months! tomorrow they will finish up the cabinets! please check out my short vid before I delete it.
What size trowel did you use? I use 1/4 in. Square notch for subway tile but not sure what to use for mosaic because when I push the tile there’s quite a lot of glue that gets pushed into the grout joints
I can’t tell for sure, but that looks like a 3/8 trowell. You want enough mortar on the wall so that the tiles stick, but not too much that it bleeds through the space in the mosaics. When it does that you’ll have to go through and clean it out so that you have clear grout lines. Hope that helps.
@@AZIMBAYO1 How difficult is it to for example remove white hex tiles from a sheet and insert colored ones and keep the grout spacing? I like that look I've seen before.
@@douglaswells2739 the tile peaces have to be the same size and same thickness then it will work. And the tile peaces are glued on a mesh backing. Its very easy to remove
I used 35 sheets in this area. I used a tile wet saw to cut one peace in to 2 half peaces. I used a angle grinder with a 4 inch tile blade to cut around the switches There is another video on my channel i install some subway tiles and it showes what i used to cut the tiles. Tile wet saw and angle grinder. Thanks for watching
Wow that’s a lot ! Do you mind sharing where you got this specific tile and how much it was per sheet . I’m looking at one similar and it’s 17.99 (do you think that’s really expensive ?) my kitchen has gold handles so this one . Where you able to rent those appliances or did you purchase them because I don’t want them forever lol?
@@HonestlyMichee this is not my kitchen i install the tile. The customer buy the tile at FLOOR AND DECORE. price was around 10 dollar per sheet. 17 dollars is too much.
When you grout, you do a section, and then wipe with a damp sponge in one direction, and one pass, without putting pressure. You dip the sponge in the water and squeeze all the water out, then wipe once in one direction and repeat. If you leave any water in that sponge, it will affect the grout and color and may dig out your grout. This is a first cleaning as you go. Once the grout is hard according to directions, you can use a more wet sponge. You usually do a 3' x 3' area and then do this. In this case, you could do 4' of backsplash, wipe, then 4', then wipe, repeat. This just removes the excess, not the haze.
Wow I am impressed with your work, very clean. I noticed that you used just a fine layer of mortar, no as I seen in similar videos. How thin should be?
@RobertLinthicum not on marble mosaics. All the thinset bleeds through the joints and you spend hours with a toothpick or tile spacer scraping out all the thinset before you can grout. 3/16 x 1/4 v-notched is the correct trowel for all your marble mosaics.
Would it be easier to just run the full sheet on the saw, cutting a half row off, instead of cutting all of those half pieces to fill in along the bottom? same look when you're done.
Great job. Your video inspired me to do the same for my home. May I ask the name of this 3 inch Hexagon Mosaic tiles? This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks.
Not to burst your bubble but it looks great. The problem I have is that it is backwards. The flat cut of the tiles is supposed to land on the granite or counter top. The missing hexagons in every sheet is supposed to go to the top since you can see it. I am just saying. Other than that, I feel guilty. I love it.
I use grout to fill the space between the tiles. And wipe the surface of the tile with a grout sponge. I baught all supplies at THE HOME DEPOT. Thanks For Watching
Marble mosaic tiles are spaced 1/16, so you use unsanded grout color of your choice. The paste is called thinset. You can find both at any big box store or tile depot.
What I do is I would have a hexagon tile removed from the mesh. I would place the next 12x12 meshed tile next to it and take a large piece of tile or wood and place it on top of the 12x12 and the single hexagon to hold it in place. Then use a 4" grinder with a tile blade and cut the single hexagon in half
BTW Dude you have mice, i can hear them talking in the wall.
LOL

Awesome job!! Super clean and nice attention to detail
Definitely not a DIY beginner video....What did you mix? How did you cut the pieces? too many details left out....But it turned out great...
I was just thinking the same thing.
Loved watching this, wonderful backslash!
Is the Mapei type 1 mastic better than using thin-set?

I have seen some people using metal edging for the trim. Is it not necessary for this mosaic tile ?
What's the cement you're using prior to putting the tiles on

Recommended trowel for mosaic tiles: V-Notch Trowel 3/16” x ¼”: A typical size for mosaic tiles and wall tiles up to 4 ½”
Well done 👏 very beautiful 😍 🤩
Im late !! But, you did an amazing job!! Attention to detail and Very Clean is everything!!
That combination done looks stupid crazy fancy good.
Looks amazing

What sized notched Trowell would you recommend for those tiles?

Is this marble? I have similar marble that I’m trying to install and it splinters/cracks when I try to cut it. Any suggestions?
It looks like marble. Notch the back on a wet saw, then flip over and cut the top.

Nice tile job would love to see how you did the outside pieces.
Nice video 👍🏾
What was used to cut openings for the outlets, thx
I used a angle grinder with a 4 inch tile blade
Great video. Did you use spacers anywhere? Or need to use a sealant caulk? Where the tile meets the granite.
I didn't use any spacers.
I didn't use caulk.
But u can used caulk. Make shore its the same color as the grout
Thanks For Watching
Do you have to wait for a certain time to put the grout after applying the tiles ?
I wait about 12 hours for the tile to dry before I grout it
Nice work. Is it easier to do the bottom missing tiles at the end or to cut a straight line across a section with the tile saw and install together?
Its easier to do it how i did it in the video. Because both ways you have to cut the tile. And less tiles get wasted

How many sheets did you need for this area? And how did you get the half pieces for the bottom? And how did you cut around the light switches ?

Angle grinder and wet saw.
Powder grout
Simply 👍🏾
Can you put a list of everything you used
Nice job 👍
Left out the details on how you did it but beautiful. Why did you choose not to tile above the sink?
How did you screw in the outlet faceplate? Wasnt the tile behind it?
No you have to cut out the tile where the screws go in. Make a little V-Notch cut

Good job 👌
Wow I am impressed with your work, very clean. I noticed that you used just a fine layer of mortar, no as I seen in similar videos. How thin should be?
I used a 3/16 inch V-Notch Trowel.
The Adhesive is MAPEI Type 1 Mastic (1-Gallon)
There should have been a much thicker layer of thinset.

The sound really was relaxing!!!
Hi did you use a sealant for your backsplash and which one
No i did not use a sealant
@@AZIMBAYO1 okay thanks! great job btw on the backsplash
On a marble backsplash, you seal marble before you grout. Once grout and tiles are wiped, you seal again. Grout and marble can use the same sealer.
Great job. Your video inspired me to do the same for my home. May I ask the name of this 3 inch Hexagon Mosaic tiles? This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks.
Hi i can't remember the name of the tile sorry.
I baught it at the home depot
@@AZIMBAYO1 Are these hard tiles or the kind you have to cut with a water saw?
@@estaraghadiuno112 its a soft tile you can cut it with a wet saw

The missing hexagons in every sheet is supposed to go to the top since you can see it. I am just saying. Other than that, I feel guilty. I love it.
I did it the same way he did so that the filler pieces are hidden by the small appliances on the counter. Just in case my spacing was a little off.
How did you cut the tile
With a tile wet saw .Brand(Chicago Electric)
Cutting is where the skill is
What did you put on there at the end and how did you wipe it off
I use grout to fill the space between the tiles. And wipe the surface of the tile with a grout sponge. I baught all supplies at THE HOME DEPOT.

Where to get these tiles and person to do the job in chennai..?
Tile over tile I mean
May I know how much square foot of area you did and which size of type 1 adhesive you used?
Also did you get the tiles cut somewhere or did it by yourself. TIA
The area size was 37 square feet. And i used one gallon adhesive.( with a v notch trowel)
And i cut the tiles with a tile wet saw
Thank You For Watching My Video
Did I miss the part where they show what product the use to paste the tile and the one to fill in the cracks ?
Marble mosaic tiles are spaced 1/16, so you use unsanded grout color of your choice. The paste is called thinset. You can find both at any big box store or tile depot.
How long did this job take
2 days. After installing the tile wait about 12 hours for it to dry then grout it.

Can we stick tile on painted wall? 2:22
yes for a backsplash. clean the wall first

You can also line the 12x12 up on your wet tile saw and saw all the end hexagons in half.
