Came here thinking my husband and I could diy herringbone pattern with 12x24 tiles, left knowing we cannot 😂
I have watched this maybe 7 times now, and I am no less confused about finding the center point than when I began. Worst explanation ever.
This guy goes through a lot of explanation to say that all you need to do is draw an X off one end of the tile and center the X in the room. Done!
Totally skipped the “how to measure the edges”. The entire reason I came here.
The tile looks great. I think I learned something, but I had to watch it twice. The frequent reselection of word choices and use of the word "center" made it harder to follow what you were doing. I think that is why I saw a comment where the woman decided it was too hard to do. Even though you emphasized the importance of orienting the first tile correctly, I think the explanation of that portion was rushed. If you get the chance to do another one of these, I recommend showing the measurement process more clearly and also avoid talking about two distinct steps or processes using the same verbiage back to back.
My brain hurts.
I lov the harringbone pattern. I'm gonna make 12x24 cardboard cut outs to play with to build up my courage to do myself! thank you!!
Couple of years late but wouldn't it just be easier to make a mark on the half point 12" side. Draw a 45 up from there, line it up with the center of the room mark and boom there's the perfect center pf the herringbone.
I have been tiling around a year now and have been asked to do a herringbone floor.this video was very helpful….thanks
How do you measure your cuts of the wall???
This is exactly the information I was looking for from layout, to center, to the cutting method! Glad I didn't think I needed to saw everything!!
- Herringbone is a beautifully sophisticated pattern in any application. Thanx 4 the instructions. Good job !
Looks beautiful. 12x24 is the size and gray I am using in my bathroom. I wanted to add interest by using this pattern but wasn't sure how it would look. Now I know and I love it. Thank You. Hopefully installer can do it!!!!
If you are installing tile over subfloors and not concrete i would run a string line from both sides of the room to the centre instead of a laser that you can accidentally move out of position and leave it a quarter inch above the tiles and sloghtly pull it up when you are mudding the floor without losing the chalkline
Great information. This will help me out a lot laying out and installing tile in my Florida room. Thanks !
I am having 12x24 tile herringbone pattern installed in my kitchen on Monday, What size of a small grout line would look best. I wish you where installing it for me, I know you would do a great job!
Love love love it! Absolutely beautiful job.
Wow great job. I love your videos. You get right to the point .
Nice work looks great 👍
Once you get the hang of the initial pattern the rest of its gravy. I like cutting in herringbone patterns. I find a ruler better than a tape measure for corner cuts. Or of course making a template. Its also the only patterns I will literally starts in the middle and work out
