Thanks for sharing. I want to put Mexican tile 4"X4" on the front stairs of my home. This video was wonderful! Makes me so much more comfortable.

[@josephk9182]

Any time.

[@josechavez5950]

Awesome video very thorough and detailed. Thanks for sharing!

[@josephk9182]

Thank You

[@ndowroccus4168]

Very cool, can imagine even using a bathroom tiling with the treads too. Instead of large stone. I gotta plan that out.

[@josephk9182]

Thank you.

[@AlchemyMelbourne]

Hi, thanks for the helpful videos. I was just wondering what would happen if you didnt water proof the front of the stairs before tiling?

[@josephk9182]

It should avoid water and moister going from horizontal area to back of the tiles located in vertical area (front of stairs).

[@CHill-lg6mj]

We got an edge/ tread thing that has a 90 degree angle and I thought the mortar side would sit in behind the vertical tiles and protect the top tiles. Are there different types of these edgers/treads?

[@josephk9182]

I used stainless steel trim and silicon. There are probably diff rents edgers for commercial.

[@aslamali6]

Can porcelain tiles be used over concrete and would porcelain withstand cold climates such as Chicago?

[@josephk9182]

Outside you should only use porcelain grad 4 and above. You need to use exterior thin set and exterior grout that can sustain freeze condition like I used. You can find thin-set and grout from Laticrete Or Mapei companies. Please call customer service of these companies to fine what thin set you should use.

@@josephk9182 awesome thank u for ur response

[@rodlrfilmmakercreator1460]

Very good video. You explained step by step. Question, I have a few of sprinkler in my backyard and the water hit a concrete planter and the color of the concrete is gone. I would like to put something to protect the concrete and look nice. What can I put to solve that problem? I know the stones will be looking great, but is expensive

[@josephk9182]

I will use good porcelain tiles.

[@jevaunnybarton2986]

Suppose the surface had paint on it would you still have to wet the surface?

[@josephk9182]

If it is a waterproof paint such us red guard etc. the answer is no. It is not recommended to tile over paint unless it is waterproof paint for tile.

[@jonathantrekallover9369]

I wonder if the vinegar in that caulk causes any problems with the thin Set?

[@josephk9182]

Not at all, but if you wary let the thin set dry and then apply silicone.
