Like laminate flooring, QuicTile is a floating floor but for tiles. It’s made of real porcelain tiles. Unlike traditional tiles, you can install this in a fraction of time, it costs savings, and no tiles installation experience is needed. For more info, visit homedepot.sjv.io/mYeBZ
To be clear, this can be installed over existing tiles. I removed the existing tiles, so I didn't have to work around the toilet and the vanity.
Does this QuicTile product preclude using some type of heat system under the flooring?
Thank you brother I have a general carpenter for wood 💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍
@@rwind656 Heating under the tile no, under/through the floor yes. Most of the under tile heat systems are placed into morter, so you would need to put it under the floor with a thermal reflective pad for best effect.
@@bradmaas6875 thanks for the reply. I wonder if anyone is going to create one of these laminated backing tile products that has channels for heating in the future.
I saw someone comment that the grout on this would not last, would crack... I guess time will tell.
@@rwind656 They said it was rubberized. It looks what I used on my tile showers, 7 years and still no issues that I can see.
Beutiful job .Especially the toilet Drain cut and to share your mistake is what makes a you tuber like you credible and relatable.
Thank you
Very good
Good bro, with mistakes and all and how to fix the mistakes no one really does that, thanks!
I’ve been in the trades for 49 years and self employed, licensed, as a carpenter/contractor....actually called a class C Contractor.....in Omaha for 41 years. I watch lots of how-to videos and compliment you on yours. Your descriptions are clear and concise, the production is good (the background music isn’t annoying, thankfully) and I don’t detect a “look at me!! I’m so cool!!!!” vanity. The video is about the work, not the worker. Refreshing.....one of the best I’ve seen. Congrats. Semper Fidelis Dave Heitman dba Dave the Carpenter
you say you are CONTRACTOR OR HANDYMAN for 49 years or what ever...
NOTHING NEW ON THE TILE JOB other than some new MATERIAL.. BUT as CONTRATOR you ought to KNOW
that HOMEOWNER ARE CHEAP. and they are not POOR.. and they tell you they pay you a lot money . and they WHINE that they dont want their STUFF DIRTY and you have to work
on tight areas.. so yeahh you have to be CAREFULL.. BUT YOU DIDNT NOTICE that TILE GUY USED RED CHALK
ON ALL WHITE ROOM
As a professional flooring installer myself, I must say I'm impressed with how well you completed this job. I wouldn't have done anything differently. And I have made the same mistake with the silicone base grout with the hazing issue. Very well done and informative video.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.
Hello
same here, comming form a tilling professional, great job, great cuts and tips. would go more in depth for tiles tips, but no need here obviously. you did an amazing job
Actually there is one mistake that probably won’t matter but is key in a big floor, once you pour the self leveling you cannot spread it with anything, you have to let it run it self that’s why you should be prepared and mix a few buckets at the same time
In the midst of installing same product on a 45. Applaud this patient and well handled install. But on a 45 I am not loving this product😆 This is literally a flooring nightmare come true.
Most hard tile installers have no experience installing the floating lock together material...whereas most floor layers who deal with locking vinyl products don't usually deal with porcelain
It's a very unusual clash of two very different worlds
As a pro, this is a real challenge
Enough to make an old guy reconsider his life choices
Kidding, but not kidding😆
Hats off to you though diy guy...nice work, great vid, great attitude❤️👍
It's nice to see that the builder put the tiles down well - it looks like even with the power tools, it took some work to remove them.
I really appreciate the way you point out your mishaps and explain how to avoid them for the rest of us. Best all around DIY channel on CZcams!
Really like your honesty and thoughts throughout your projects keep up the good work.
Great how you explain the whole job even your little mistakes. Sir, you have gold in your hands.
I know how to do most of the work you show, but I don't have your design/ideas skills. So I get a lot of help from your videos in deciding what projects should look like. Thank you for your detail I know it takes more work to include it in the video.
Looks good. I didn't know there was a floating tile option.
Though I am wondering how you're going to back light it with LEDs 😉
Haha.
Was thinking the same thing haha
My son used this grout on a similar type of tile, which this tile has improved upon in the last couple of years. He had a problem with haze as well. It took him a full day with a haze remover from home Depot, using a toothbrush! But I still believe this is a great product, and the end result is stunning. Thanks for posting Glenn.
As always, you've done your homework and put out not only a project to be proud of but a presentation second to none. Thanks Glen!
It’s crazy. I just DIYed a tile demo and everything I researched from hours of looking stuff up is literally compressed in this video. You are doing GOD’s work. Blessed...
What did you spend hours watching other than using a chisel/hammer chisel?
As someone that has done a few bathroom tile installs, you will almost always get grout haze. One tip is to have another clean sponge and another clean bucket of water (2 extra is even better) to swap during the grout process. Even then you will probably have a very light haze in some areas. Not really a problem, just come back 24 hours after, bring a dry towel and you can buff out the haze with a little elbow grease. Try to stick to the tile and avoid buffing the grout within the grout line. Awesome job though.
Oh my goodness...this is right on time. We just brought a house and need new floors but didn't wanna spend thousands of dollars....thanks so much for sharing 💜
You are welcome!

Competent & proper technic's, Concise, yet afford enough incite/s, Honesty, as to teaching others how to avoid' your own small mistakes, or unforeseen next steps needed~ All adds up to Confidence in you & your teaching skills... "Every Time!"
PS. I'll be doing the Same work in my washroom so, Many Thanks for this info! Cheer's!
Thank you for showing the difficult tasks, surprises and set backs. I appreciate the honesty.
That's the neatest cut around a toilet flange I have ever seen. It's good to see people taking the time to do a job clean.
Turned out very nice!! Great to be able to work at ones own pace and not the setting time of tile adhesive!! Ideal for the diyer.
White floor grout... never seen that before!
Glen, i must say, your home has to be BEAUTIFUL!! With these special skills that you have.
Great job. Thanks for sharing your mistake on the grout. Super important tip for others that may be installing the same product.
Been tiling professionally for 15 years and had no idea there was a laminate tile system and gotta say job came up very nice man. Typically with standard grouts (polymer or cement based) When do a second wash about 20 mins after the first with a slightly wet sponge, if any efflorescence is left the next day we recommend a splash of white vinegar with warm water and a micro fibre cloth scrub after that mop with fresh water. While I don't know what the grout is like you used in the video it's normally a safe bet, also Glen what brand are those kneepads?
Nice work. Love you how are so open about the difficulties and errors as it gives confidence to those wanting to give it a go. It also means that more people will watch as it is real rather than a perfectly staged installation
I love the way you roll on projects. Learned a lot on this one; never knew about floating tile.
Great tip on the non-cement grout haze remover. Excellent job on the tile cut.
a 50/50 vinegar and water will remove most haze left by grout
After watching so many home DIYs I will pray and manifest for a overall good man and to add some handyman skills. 🙌🙏
So my question is lasting value of that tile, with nothing under it (grout) to hold it down is there cracking or bowing in the floor? I wonder how long it will go before it starts to bow if it does at all.
That’s why he leveled the floor
It probably is already level or has self leveler
I'm not an expert but one tip I heard that I've always done, to avoid grout haze. When wiping down the grout you get just two passes of the sponge (one each side) before cleaning it. Wipe it in a rolling motion. Essentially only cleaning with a clean sponge and this helps quite a bit.
Nice job. I really enjoy the way you present your projects. I always learn something new and I’ve been a carpenter since 1975.
Question: Why would you want to mix match your tiles (pick from a different box)?. I would think that one would want the grain to match/line up. I sometimes visit places and also notice that some people do install them mix matching them... and I always say NOOOO!!! WHYYYY!, might just be my part time OCD.
Wow the expertise you have to have is mind-boggling and then to have some kind of error that you speak of shatters me from all the work you do crazy my hat's off to you big time
It's remarkable the amount of effort you put in your videos. SALUTE man!♥️
Thanks
Nice job and I think perfect for a very small room. I am a bit skeptical about doing this in a large room though! We have a floating wood floor that locks together when installing it. Just as this floor, you have to leave 3/8ths inch on all sides and it floats on plastic sheeting. Our rooms are large and in two of the rooms we have to sort of kick the floor back together at a few joints. I believe it is from natural expansion and contraction, but maybe the hook joints either didn't hold up or were bad when made. Best of luck with it and hope to not only see the rest of the re-do, but also future updates on how you like it and how well it is lasting..
Looks good. Assuming this grout wooks like most, I like to have several buckets and sponges ready to avoid the haze.
Nice job and you were very informative. I’m having my kitchen redone in a few weeks and having one of these floors installed.
If you want to remove that grout haze QUICK and easy... just get a steam mop. I got one on Amazon with handheld attachment for like 75$ and it removed my grout haze in seconds. I had tried everything. I had used the wrong kind of grout on groutable vinyl tiles and ended up with the same problem. Using a steam mop was not recommended for vinyl tiles but I had not had any issues what so ever. It would work beautifully and safely on your tiles
Great job
I have been installing tile for 20 plus years , when doing any tile installation, safety is the key. Using a grinder always use a filter mask , safety glasses , ear plugs . Silica dust causes asthma so please always be safe an aware of your surroundings.
1:58 I can relate to this so much.
As usual, you make this look so easy. Thank you for sharing with us the problems you had and how you overcame it.
I want to makeover my master bathroom . It’s a 90’s model with the garden tub, double vanities, one on each side of the tub, and a small shower, 32x32. It did have carpet in the master bathroom and I removed it before we moved in and put down a water proof vinyl tile that looks like stone. But now I want to remodel the whole bathroom.
So thank you again for sharing your video.
That flooring is beautiful! Thank you for this video. Now I know what we'll use when we remove the carpets.
Great work. I respect your honesty when you discover an error that was made no matter how small.
This will be a big help to me when I tackle this project. Thanks!
LOVE how you keep it real and show us all the 'now what'
I only watch because glen is an awesome host. I don't really care about tiles, to be honest.
I appreciate it!
😀 thanks!
Everything becomes more wonderful through your hands
The tub could be turned into a shower with a slight slope for drainage and a little sitting bank. Overall great project, the new flooring makes a big difference in the overall aspect of the house that you want to have
Grout haze can be a real problem I've found using damp microfiber cloths to clean thw tile after grouting will eliminate haze took me a while to learn that trick.
I used these for two of my bathrooms a couple months ago and they turned out great. My install went over existing laminate flooring. For the cost though I wouldn't use these for larger projects. My only gripe with these are they aren't exactly 12" x 24" like regular large size tiles. One bathroom was exactly 8' long but since actual tile size is 11 1/4" x 23 1/2" it made figuring out how to lay out the tile a little more difficult so it didn't look like some rookie took the project on.
About to start remodeling my house and let me tell you this video and your laminate hardwood flooring video were savers.
I'll wait for this to be used for year bore I would use it myself, to see if there are problems down the road.
People were probably also saying that when engineer and laminate flooring first came out too.
It's getting really hard to justify my laziness while watching this channel... Great vid as always!
Everything you do is top notch and ultra professional.
As allways..excellent job Glenn
I haven’t even seen it but Ik it’s gonna turn out amazing
It did
Dawg look at that video quality. New camera? You are the man.
To help with haze you can wipe the tile down with a damp sponged before adding grout.
My man... You rock! Thanks for your insights and perspective. I appreciate your humbleness as well.
The floor looks amazing and nice to see a professional job. So many tips here, thank you
Great job with the terlit hole.. :) This is a great idea - i have a bathroom with carpet from the 1980s that i need to take care of. it also has a slightly uneven spot in the floor that i'll have to level too.. thanks for the vid
Nice job introducing easy-do product. Thanks, Glenn
I need help removing the toilet for my project… my bathroom is nearly just like yours. The floor is crappy linoleum. And it needs serious updating. You make things looks so easy!
I have a major concern with this system:
If there is only a hair under one of these tiles they will start to rock. This will crack the grout pretty soon. Even it's flexible. It will crack over time.
What i want to state here:
This system is even less for beginners since the preparation of the floor needs to be spot on.
Maybe most beginners will simply float this over a floor originally done by a professional. That way it will start out very level and smooth.
everything you set out to do is excellent 👏👏
I enjoy your videos and feel you give sound instructions and tips.
Thank you
Dude... You are Awesome.
Great work...as usual. I’d really like to hear how this holds up over time. specifically the grout. thanks!
Great job. I'm looking into this type of flooring, thanks I like it. Most of us usually never plan on getting deep into projects 😜
Wow that tile is stunning 😍
Excellent step by step instructions.
Looks great but I am super curious about how well the grout lines will hold up with the tiles not being held in place with mortar like a traditional tile.
External edges of he floor, by the walls or Bath I will use silicone sealant isntead of groute. Just in case of cracs. Im not sure, how elastic will be this flexible groute.
I have a grouting tip: Use a Bakers' piping bag. You will have much less wiping after you gout the lines.
I cleaned my tiles with some type of powder acid after 2 weeks of researching and it worked well on black mat tiles...
I did snap stone tile in my basement. Very easy
Nice work bro. You make it look so easy for some of us that ain't so handy. btw I'm a fan of your work. Awesome!
Looks great! Thanks for sharing!
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, I really appreciate your Videos and you have taught this OLD DOG NEW TRICKS, I WOULD LIKE 2 WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A SAFE AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
wow de verdad que con la herramienta adecuada se ve super sencillo jaja

Thanks, Ellie!
This is going to be amazing your the best with modern building
Thanks, no pressure 😅
@@DIYCreators Do you have anything else to do in there
Man, just randomly discovered your channel and I'm LOVING it! You are so talented and so smart! I'm learning a LOT from you! A big hug from Brazil!
The toilet drain cut alone with worth a thumbs up.
You have both an American and Caribbean accent which is cool. Trying to figure out the Caribbean. Anyway, cool video.
Very impressive video. You did everything with such precision and lots of patience. Thanks!
Excellent! Direct, clear, honest detailed information on this product. Thank you.
I just discovered your channel yesterday and you’ve given me two ideas already. I think this will be great in our basement bathroom which could really use some updating. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for making stuff that truly is easy enough for a beginner like myself to get into! Most videos I watch are already too much for me. lol
this is literally my favorite channel now
This is a great video. You explain things well, and you also show mistakes/challenges that are real world. I had never heard of this product before but I am going to use it on some sealed concrete I have which is difficult to prep for thinset, thanks!
Great job Glen, I have the same tiles, however mine are real and more time consuming. I'll keep this in mind for the next bath.
The way I do part tiles is this. First I place a full tile, over where the last full tile was. Then I take another full tile and place it over that first tile, where the edge of the wall is. I then draw a line there. This is where you cut it. Obviously you cut back more if needed. Hopefully I explain that properly.
You are a wonderful teacher of skills,may the Lord Jesus continue to use you to bless us amen.
You are amazing. So informative. Much respect & love. I like that ur vids show a smart effecient way of working DIYs.
Very nicely done and explained. Watching you videos is a delight.
U just make every job that u do sooo effortless, hats off to u!! Good job as allways!!
direct from Brazil. your work is cool, I am starting in carpentry and I hope to learn a lot from you. thanks a hug.
Thanks
You are a PRO and a Bro Thanks Guy
Turned out great. Thanks for the video man
