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. All tile installed by Sal DiBlasi, Elite-tile Company, in the Boston North Shore area.
