SUBSCRIBE Learn how to tile the right way Start to finish stained glass herringbone pattern waterfall shower feature. A large tile 22x10 was used in this shower featuring a knee wall and bench seat as well as a waterfall glass mosaic tile stripe on the back wall, centered on the plumbing fixtures Watch as i prep the very thin glass for installation on the shower wall so that it is flush with the wall tile. Getting a glass mosaic tile feature strip to be perfectly flush with the field tile can be a challenge when the mosaic tile is thinner than the larger field tiles that it is installed next to. This is made even more difficult when the tiles are very large and thick. In this video I show how to prep the glass mosaic tile and I demonstrate how to mount the tiles to a thins sheet of tile foam Board which is 1/4" thick so the waterfall feature tile can be installed as a panel instead of individual sheets. In this case I use 1/4" Wedi but Laticrete 1/4" Hydro Ban board, or Schluter 3/16" Kerdi Board can be used to do this, the important thing is that the thin panel being used must be water safe when installed in a wet area like a shower. Another benefit of doing it this way is that you don't have to deal with excess mortar oozing through the grout lines of the mosaic because a thick bed would be needed. Leveling clips can be used as if the mosaic were just another large tile, making it easy to get it exactly flush and even with the surrounding tile. This method will work for horizontal glass mosaic tile, or vertical waterfall tile strips like in this video. Any kind of thin tile that needs to be brought out flush with the adjacent tile can be made easier using this method.

SUBSCRIBE Learn how to tile the right way. This videos details the major steps of the installation of some huge 48" long tile in a shower stall and shower floor. I show the process for prepping and installing the mud base floor the shower when a linear is to be installed. I go through the steps to waterproof the shower floor and get it ready for a flood test to be sure there are no leaks. I install a large format tile on a shower floor with a linear drain. Linear drains, also known as line drains, or trench drains. In this video I show how to install large tiles on the shower floor and the tileable drain grate. A Schluter Kerdi line drain is the product used for this shower floor including a flood test and how to install a large format tile on a shower floor with a linear drain. Linear drains are becoming more and more popular, because they open up possibilities for tile that are not available with a regular point drain. With linear drain, the shower floor will be flat, but inclined or pitched to the drain. This means that large format tiles can be used on the shower floor, small mosaics are still an option, but not a necessity. I go over some important points about installing this very large tile on the shower walls and how I finished the full length niche on the back wall of the shower. Because the tiles are so big the grout process slightly differently than it would be when grouting smaller tiles. The grout is applied concentrating on the grout lines instead of smearing the grout across the entire surface of the tile.

Applying Silicone, not that hard. #shorts #silicone #tile So when you have finished your tile installation, it has been all grouted and you are ready to caulk the corners to have that nice soft movement joint to allow for movement, what should you use, Acrylic Latex Caulk, or 100% silicone sealant. In this video I show you what the real performance difference is. Silicone is the correct choice for your tile shower corners, tub joint or anywhere tile meets a tile in a corner or another type of material. You never want to just grout in your corners, this can create problems, at the very least you will have cracked corners, at the worst it will cause your tile job to fail. Silicone sealant is the correct choice, look up ANSI EJ171 for all the details. An alternative Siliconized Acrylic Caulk, but it is not as flexible and will not last anywhere near as long as a Silicone caulk joint will. Silicone is much more flexible and has a much stronger bond, however it is not easy to clean and can leave a mess if you don't know the secret how to get it done quick and easy. Unlike acrylic caulks, which can be easily cleaned with water, silicone caulk needs a bit more care and know how to get a professional looking clean even joint. In this video I demonstrate an easy method that with a little practice will have you caulking with silicone in no time.

Se how to install a large tile on a floor using the Grabo tool to facilitate the installation. These large polished porcelain tiles have a mosaic tile pattern on them. This is not an easy installation and requires the ability to measure and mark the tiles for difficult cuts using the pattern method, although straight cuts can simply be measured and then marked and cut. It is important to set the tiles on the appropriate mortar bond coat to achieve the required mortar coverage. A leveling system is also a huge help because these tiles are so large and have a big surface area, it is often helpful to walk on the tiles while the mortar is still fresh to help embed them in the mortar, the leveling system will keep them in place and flat.

SUBSCRIBE Learn how tile the right way How to Install Cement board, all the steps you need to know, form cutting and installing to waterproofing. When installing a cement backer board it is important to use the correct kind of screw. Drywall screws are not to be used to install the cement board, due to the composition of the backer board an non coated screw will deteriorate over time and compromise the integrity of the tile installation. A screw that has been coated or galvanized must be used. A screw should be placed every 8", there is going to be a lot of weight when the tile is installed so an adequate number of fasteners should be used. To cut the board to the correct size a simple utility knife is all that is needed. Score the board with the blade of the knife a few times, and then bend the board back until it snaps, complete the cut by running the knife along the cut from the opposite side. A simple key hole saw can be used to make holes for shower valves and escutcheons. The corners and joints will be reinforced with a fiberglass alkali resistant mesh tape and then filled with thinset. Do not use drywall mesh tape. Once the thinset is dry, the walls should be waterproofed with two coats of a liquid applied waterproofing membrane. I will generally reinforce corners of the cement board with fiberglass fabric, then apply two coats of the waterproofing. It is very important to not skip any steps and to be sure that the board, be it Durock, Wonderboard, HardieBaker, or any other type of CBU. Cement board is water safe, but it is not waterproof, so in my opinion the best way to prevent moisture penetration into the wall cavity, is to waterproof the entire surface with a liquid applied waterproofing membrane, in this video Mapei Aquadefense is used for all waterproofing. A Vapor barrier can be used be hind the board in place of the liquid applied waterproofing, however I believe that the membrane directly under the tile gives much superior protection.

SUBSCRIBE Learn how to tile the right way I am often asked what type of thinset should be used? So to answer this question you first need to know what kind of tile is being installed and on what kind of surface. Thinset mortar is the glue that holds the tile to your substrate, picking the right one for your tile and substrate is of critical importance. There are several material specifications for thinset mortar from the American National Standards Institute or ANSI for short. These specifications are ANSI: A118.1 Dry Set Unmodified Mortar A118.4 Dry Set Modified Mortar A118.11 Dry Set Modified EGP Mortar (Exterior Grade Plywood) A118.15 Dry Set Improved Modified Mortar Using a thinset for a tile or substrate that it is not designed to be used for can lead to failures, so it is critical to use a mortar that is suitable for the type of tile and substrate in your tile installation. Thinset is basically a mixture of sand, and cement and other compounds to facilitate the hydration process. Thinset is the “Glue” that bonds the tile to the surface to which it is applied, and it does this by growing crystals as it dries and cures. The crystals interlock and penetrate into the surface of the tile and the substrate, bonding it all together. The longer the thinset is able to grow crystals the strong the bond and the strength of the thinset. So what kind of thinset should be used in any given application? Well there is unmodified thinset, and modified thinset, and other kinds of thinsets, but we are just going to deal with these two types which are the most widely used. Unmodified thinset is a thinset that has no polymers added to it, a modified thinset is a thinset that has either polymers added to the powder during manufacturing, or an unmodified thinset that is mixed with a liquid polymer on the job site just before it is to be used. Modified thinset is the most widely used mortar these days and is recommended for most applications and types of tile. So why is there polymer in the thinset anyway? Well it is there to help the thinset retain moisture so it can grow those crystals we talked about earlier. Many of the substrates that tile is installed on are very porous and thirsty and will absorb the moisture present in the thinset, which in turn will prevent the thinset from gaining strength, the polymers help with this problem by keeping the moisture in the thinset so it can Hydrate (grow crystals) properly. So when you go to the store you will see that not all thinset cost the same, some are more expensive than the others, well you get what you pay for, the cheaper thinsets have less of the needed components, and the more expensive ones have more, so by extension better. Modified thinsets also add an adhesive quality to the bonding mechanism, as well as flexibility, enhancing the strength of the tile assembly. So modified thinset is used to install porcelain tiles on all kinds of substrates that call for a modified thinset.
