Hey, Yeah you have a little grout joint there, Normally by the nature of the tile shape, You will get a natural joint against trim even if you aren't creating your own one. You can also CT1 or seal that trim edge before setting the tile, For extra assurance if you needed it.

Thanks mate, Much appreciated! Yeah that was a good few days of hard work packed into an easy 10 minutes! Ha. I wear kneepads in the Winter in my trousers, But in the Summer I generally perform an awkward squat to stay off my knees, ha. Nice, The shower ceiling video is nearly done, I've just been playing with a slightly different on camera style, To make it a bit more exciting, than just watching me struggle placing tiles on the ceiling haha. But I can make a longer length to that one as well, If needed. But hopefully should be done for the weekend!

@@thebespokebloke keep up the good work, im a plumber getting into tiling as im bored and want to expand my skill set. Its very much appreciated having channels like yourself for tips and guidance when i dont have other ways to get good info.👍

Awesome, Yeah it's a good one to get into to expand your skills and do full bathroom refurbs yourself. I'll keep the tips coming, Thanks mate!

You're welcome, If you put "telescopic support rod" into Amazon. You should get a few that come up. Hope that helps!

Thanks! Yeah they are very popular these days, Especially with all the different patterns and colours 👌

Thanks mate!

You're welcome, Glad you liked it! You could and some people do, But for that exact reason you touched on.. Backerboard is a good bond to keep the strength in the self Leveling. Where as (although unlikely to cause massive issues ) plastic could cause a bit of cracking were the bond wouldn't be as good. So using Backerboard it's basically guaranteeing no issues and keeping a solid base. Not to mention, You can even use it for when you need expansion.

Fair, You can buy a separate case though, I'm just kind of used it now

Thanks mate!

Awesome, Perfect timing! Around 1.2 metres (which is normally half height of a room) is always a good starting point. Then really after that, It depends on you height for reaching things and ease of use e.t.c. Then after that it's good to take into account the tiles..It's nice to work a full tile off the bottom of the niche (if it works out fine every else) if possible as it visually looks better than a cut. The one is this video was about 1.35 I think. Normally when the niche is being made though we oversize it, and shrink it to the tiles, as it's a lot easier to add backerboard to it to reduce the size to fit the tile, if that makes sense. So for example if you had tiles that were 60cm and you wanted your niche at 1.2M finish height, So roughly 2 tiles to the floor from the niche..2x tiles plus a 2mm spacer would be around 1.22m. But I'd actually make the niche lower at about 1.18 off finish floor height, That gives 2cm ish wiggle room, and allows the trim to be installed like in this video (as you have to overlap it by a tiles width). Bit long winded but I hope that makes some kind of sense, ha. But yes somewhere around 1.2 give or take is a good standard height.

Thanks so much for the kind words! And it's good to know you like that style. It's always hard to find the best way of getting the information out. You're welcome, Glad you're enjoying the videos 👌

It's more natural if your used to traditional tile cutters. Professionals generally use Rubi cutters throughout time, Which are a push towards the measuring bar setup.

ei, não tenho certeza de quais lojas de azulejos você tem por aí, mas imagino que elas devem estar disponíveis on-line para você

Noted, I'll put it on the list, ha

Hey mate great! If they are Ceramic tiles like the ones in the video.. Bal Micromax (it's more forgiving with ceramics) and if they are Porcelain Tiles.. Kerakol Fugabella (As you'll get a better joint, as its a but more rapid) Hope that helps!

Hey, this one is a Bihui B-Magic Diamond Cutting Blade. Also the Rubi TCR Superpro Dry Cut Turbo Diamond Blade (Red) is very good. Hope that helps

They are pretty cool aren't they! I like them

Awesome, Thanks for the support and Supper Thanks!

I feel the pain, ha.. They are a nightmare 90% of the time, like you say as they are never normally straight.. You just have to go with it which hurts, But normally looks all good in the end as there are so many joints, You don't focus on the individual bits

Nice, I just feel you loose finesse with a bigger blade, To chunky for detailed work, as you can't get them where you need them. But again all depends on what you're used to for sure

Yeah everyone has their own techniques for sure!

Hey, This one is a 67cm (3B4M)

¿De qué estás hablando Willis?

Я говорю, что сигма это хорошо. только зачем ты это выкладываешь.

Awesome, Glad you found it helpful. Thanks mate

Hey thanks! I'm based in the South. But I can't really take work on these days, As I'm booked up forever lol

Not surprised you are booked out! Interested to know where you purchase your Dukkaboard tray and boards from

@@mineshp3877 Trimlinegroup.com is a great place for tiling products. They sale Dukkaboard and other alternatives there. Hope that helps

Thanks for your response. Regards Minesh

Awesome! Thanks for the kind words, and enjoy the cutter.. You will for sure!

​@thebespokebloke the cutter was a dream to use. Should of bought one a long time ago. Cheers chap👍

@@simoncheshire-f3y Love that! Now that should also last you a very long time. Just remember to oil the bar and wheel occasionally 👌

Nice, Yeah it is a funny one as it's been around a while, But it's not advertised massively...It's like a kept secret, ha. Yeah give it a go, They are great!

Thanks so much!

@@thebespokebloke honestly..so informative 👍

Awesome, Thanks for your support!

Thanks, I do enjoy tiling wet rooms.. Great satisfaction!

Thanks, Glad you liked it!

Hey, They are getting a bit harder to find now.. Because of the series 4. But online or tile shops last stock is the best place. Worth it if you can find one for sure!

Hey, Generally I wouldn't worry to much about height as you'll always have small and big cuts whatever. In that particular example I took a full tile (corner) off of the bath. So you'll see I measure the tiles when they are on the floor and transfer that line to the wall. So I'd lay a few out , Get the height from a few tiles, draw a line and work down from there. If you're talking about flipping the entire pattern, You'd still centre through the middle of the tiles. It's a bit hard to explain but if you lay some out, the way you want them and put the centre through the same place in the tile, you'll get it. The pattern will just be alternate each side off the top of my head.

Thanks, Yeah I've never found a straight hexagon Tile ever I don't think 😂

It's definitely a marmite divider. I have some designers that want me to mitre everything, and some that like the bit of bling from the trim. So I get both sides, ha. But I agree, You don't need to overkill with trim if you don't have to.

Thanks mate, I'd probably work of the rear wall with a centre line down the middle of the floor.. You will always get with herringbone, the likelihood that some cuts work well and others will be smaller,. So you've got a good chance when you get to your door the cuts will be fine

Hey thanks, This particular one should be fine on render, I'd just double check the preparation specs first though. For me if you are using ceramic tiles that should all be fine. But if you are using porcelain tiles, I would personally backer board the wall, and mechanically fix it to the concrete blocks. Hope that helps

In the making mate, Hopefully next week should be done 👌

@@thebespokebloke nice one can't wait will be keeping an eye out 👍

Thanks, It all depends on the tray envelope and set out.. But I like to cut the envelope angles on my Sigma if I can for a better finish. But if not possible, Same as you like this one, I'll grind them and polish them. I don't even own a water cutter these days lol

@thebespokebloke brilliant, does the tile snap ok at the pointed ends using the sigma? I have a sigma aswell but never really thought to try shower tray cuts with it, I've missed a trick by the sounds of it 😂

@@sw4943 Nice, As usual tile and cut dependent, But most of the time it's Gucci. The only thing you have to think about is the spacing if you're joining a full tile onto it, As you are not taking 2mm out with a grinder, You're actually increasing the tile by 2mm if you put a 2mm joint in the envelope.

Hey thanks, I didn't supply the tiles for this job.. But these are 2 possible sources for you: originalfeatures.co.uk/collections/victorian-floor-tiles-octagon-tiles , www.victoriancollection.co.uk/victorian-tiles/octagon-dot/
