Fastest PEBBLE SHOWER PAN I've Ever Tiled --- Tile Redi with Linear Drain
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 11. 2023
- Most pebble or mosaic tile installations are done by installing full pieces or sheets and then cutting in or piecing in the perimeter pieces. Since the Tile Redi shower pan is already square the installer can just take measurements and pre-cut all of the sheets before installing. This way the installation can be done faster as long as the precut pieces are numbered properly so that they can be installed in the correct place. Doing it this was speeds up the installation time by about 50%.
Tile Redi pans are already waterproof, pre- sloped, and there are no connections to be made between the shower floor and wall. Also, the drain is integrated into the pan instead of installed separately. This reduces the failure points that are common with the Schluter, Hydro Block, and Wedi shower systems. Tile Redi foam is also approximately 7 times more dense than Schluter foam.

This is the bathroom job we hired Isaac and his crew to do for us. I was very, very happy with the entire experience - from the moment we met him at his store for the consultation through the job's completion. He and the crew were also great with the tenant (and the good boi who napped throughout the work). Most of all, you can see how fantastic the work is. I highly recommend Isaac and his team.
Did you seal your stone? What brand did you use?
The large shower in our house failed. We purchased the custom-built house from the homeowner which was the custom builder. The tile installation looked almost perfect, but after the failure I found the shower liner cut in the corners with roofing nails into studs and nails in the curb! My background is electrical contracting, electrical and architectural engineering, not a tile guy. That being said, I redone the master bath myself because I didn't want problems where a contractor cut corners or was clueless, especially another shower fail disaster. I didn't want to attempt installing a typical shower pan with liner and have issues in the future, so I ordered a custom size Tile Redi shower pan with linear drain, a little expensive being a larger custom size but man, what a piece of mind! Have not installed the wall board or tile yet but installed the pan a couple weeks ago, that pan is very solid. The rest of the bath construction has gone perfect, little nervous about doing the tile but at least I know what will be behind the tile and I feel pretty good about everything, thanks to Isaac's videos.
Excellent video! You made it easier to visualize and lay out my pebble floor. Thanks a million.
Thanks you for all the great videos Isaac. I've been a contractor for 30 years and still learn from them. Keep up your efforts. It is obvious you have a good soul. So nice to see today.
35 years doing bathrooms and kitchens I only use tile ready have been catching your channel from time to time I would say to my self all this work to build a pan when you can order in advance ship to your home or shop with no chance of leeks .as a senior getting close to stopping Get into kitchens 💰💰💰too🇺🇸
been using the precut method for years. Always makes it go smoothly.
I learn so much from this channel, and I've been a tile contractor for 30 years. Thanks Isaac
Love the wallboard install. Looks surprisingly easier than anything else I've seen lately. Pan looks sweet
I’ve done quite a few of these with the pebble. The last one I used this method and it went really smooth and looked great 👍🏼
Bookmarking this video for our shower renovation next spring. The Redi system looks solid, and I think my wife would be thrilled if we can get a pebble base like the one you're installing. Thank you for the great videos!
You sound like a c uck
This was extremely helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! I'm getting ready to put my pebble stone down soon, and this is looking like the method I'll be using. It's my own home, and I'm a DIY person, so anything I can find will help. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video! They have helped tremendously on my bathroom Remodel. Bought my first house and flip at 19 a few months ago with no knowledge on how to do it I just know I’m going to do it haha, now I’m ready to tackle the bathroom since I’m feeling confident in the tile redi system. I’m new to all of this so you’re videos are definitely very helpful thank you!!
Happy to see the tile coach still rocking shout out from butte county
Another good video. Right on!
I always like watching them before bed.
It’s soothing
Love the little Pearl mini blade with extension
Thank you Tile coach
I’ve been doing this for years. I love doing it this way instead of cutting in as I thinset in
It was your videos that lead me to tileredi. As a DIY'r using products on my own house, speed of installation and wrapping up projects in a few days is not a factor. I just want a product line that's going to work, i had absolutely no trust in some of the other products out there and your tests proved that. Went with Tileredi and glad to see it in your vid's. Great channel!
Used this method today on my floor. The precut approach was awesome! Thanks Isaac for all your videos and insight. Used a FloFX drain too! Keep it up
You are badass ! Thanks for taking the time and producing these videos for us to watch and learn. I've been watching your bathroom remodel videos closely for a while now and with great detail in mind .I 'm currently doing my second bathroom which is my master bath. curbless shower and heated floor, using the Schluter System using all porcelain tile. heated bidet, heated mirror, rain shower head from the ceiling. Thank for what you do !!!
A similar way to do what you did with layout, is to make a pan template!
Rip 1/8" utility plywood into about 1" strips. Get a hot glue gun and create a template of the whole shower pan (including the drain). Then just take your template over to the tiles laid out on the floor. Trace the template and cut the lines :)
What I like about doing it this way, is you can shift the template over the tiles, and find the most symmetrical layout, as well as the least amount of cuts/slivers.
looks great Isaac 👍🏼 that pre made system is amazing
Thank you for sharing, I really learned a lot just by watching your channel.
Been following all your videos and nothing has failed! about to start my pebble tile today after testing my dry pack Hydroban sealed shower floor.....which passed with zero leaks! I'm a sheet metal worker doing his own plumbing (which I hate doing) but been in construction since the 90's so it's just another day at the "office". I just over think everything that isn't sheet metal, and worry about failure.
Follow all of Issacs steps and techniques and you shouldn't go wrong...
Everything has worked flawless so far.....now I jinxed it! LOL
Love your attention to detail. Wish I could find someone in my town who does work this good.
if you're in central florida, I have you covered
Excelente maestro un trabajo de muy buena calidad un saludo desde Perú en todo precisión total
Nice! I did the Blue SEA PEBBLE STONE from floor and decor with sand color grout. Came out amazing using the redi tile pan.
Appreciate your video's now for several year's...this product I think I will use on a second floor remodel the only hesitation i have is the mortar set and the weight,along with the measuring of the drain pipe coming up from the floor, I believe you said an inch and 3/8 to make a good contact with the pan,brother thank you again keep up the great work.
Keep it up TC. Looks good man. 👊
LOVE this shower pan & wall system! I currently have a composite pan & shower walls as I never trusted any of the systems out there, but this one I am very confident in. I hope it's available here in Canada so I can finally have a tiled shower!
Homedepot has them in Canada. Well Vancouver . Good luck
I have always used this method for pebble tile, except I dry set them in the pan, cutting them to fit. I then take them up and lay them together as they would go in the pan and set then install them like you did.
Those sheets payed out real nice no seams 🤙🏾👍🏾
I have TileRedi pan. It is one of the easiest options for DIYers. Put mortar underneath to fill the void as recommended. Inspector didn’t do a fill test when he saw that it’s one solid piece of shower pan.
I've only been doing this for two years and this is how I've always done it lol
My uncle just moved to Idaho from Sacramento and he loves it all but the snow shoveling!😂
Thumbs up, great job and tips..
Thanks for the video! I'm so tired of shluter!
Holy shnikies you guys got it easy now been watching you since i retired you have come far weedhopper
The pebbles look cool, but that Redi system is 😲
I had to completely replace 90 percent of the joists and floor under my master bathroom due to the previous install leaking since the 50's (way before I bought the house)
I've been sitting with an empty master bath for soooo long because I'm terrified of leaking tile systems destroying it again.
One piece, and practically unbreakable... This Redi system looks like it's the way to go for me.
Nice pan issac
Love the funny pokes, "armchair tilers", "tile police" LOL
This is great. I like the idea of pre-cutting the pebbles outside, but can you put the link to the full installation video. I would love to see how you installed the shower pan. Thank you
I’ve wondered why these pebble sheets aren’t installed that way all the time. Figured it was because I’m not a pro. I just didn’t get it or something. Looks good from my house!
Awesome video dude! 😂
Great Video! Can you please provide the links to the videos concerning the other aspects of this job? I would love to see them.
Correct, Tile Redi makes life easier, I see you have been watching my videos. LOL. A screw will puncture the foam base if you step on it the right way. I try to keep my base as clean as possible. It's a great product that I've been using for years. Glad that Tile Redi got Tile coach to try out their product.
Actually, I just checked out your channel. Great stuff!! Thanks for watching.
Appreciate the kind words. Want to help me tile 4 baths and 9000 sqft in my new home build, LOL. Have a happy Thanksgiving. @@TileCoach
Love this! Great job as always. What is that tiny blade you were using on the grinder?
Nice! I always pre cut my tiles both wall and floor. The wall I only precut Half about half way, I work by myself with all the showers I do so I save setting time by precutting as well. But the redi tile.. is a little too pricey for me to make money off of
I want that small grinder peanut
wheel set up. Enlighten me.
Tip : use that blue painters tape and run strips across the tile mats before you pick them up. way easier and there not so loose goosy as you try and lay them
love your videos. thank you ... just subscribed =)
Thanks for subbing!
Just template it (drain in place) with drywall shims and hot glue… lay it all out and trace it onto the stone. So fast.
(Especially helpful for after walls are set if you do it that way)
Maybe I’ll drop a video to you
Holy crap people make sure you use the right size notch when you do pebbles or the thinset cleanup will make you crazy. Love this shower pan though.
Exelencent
I love your work. It is very much detail-oriented. How do I know if I need epoxy or thinnest. My tile redy shower base was installed a year ago, but only now the tiles be installed. Also, do you buy separately spacers for the drain or it was included into the kit. Please, show video how you cut tiles and tiling walls. I am looking forward to it.
Next time when you number your pieces also put an arrow for direction. Great video
I picked up a good tip years ago from my old employer for cutting river rocks. Place an old tile on top of the river rocks as close to the blade as possible leaving room for your pencil line to be seen. As you guide the river rocks through the blade keep pressure on the tile with one hand. This helps to minimize the rocks movement and helps to produce a straight cut. On a side note, does this guy ever wear eye protection when he makes cuts?
What I do is have a piece of goboard that I lay on the tray (with pebble on top) and raise the blade up.. a little easier I think? Just trying to help!!!!
he uses them safety squints
@@ajwordy1691 And I use the 1/4 board works well
Yup. Works well
What's the name of the small angle grinder blade?
Bihui 2” diamond blade
I started to get a rash on my left hand but then hair started growing in as well all throughout the bottom of my palm…..
But I’m in my 60s now & I’ve been “tiling” since my teens 😂
Coach have your ever done a polished concrete pan or poured clear epoxy on one just curious. My kids want their's done. I'm scratching my head on it. Love your videos man.
I find your tutorials very helpful. Have you ever considered or tried making a fiberglass pan liner or using silicone caulk instead of grout?
Regards,
Gary

What was that small wheel you used for the finer cuts? Also, what RPM’s do you set the grinder for polishing?
easy to just take all stones from mash and install one by one to make a better fit and minimum cut i do that all the time and results are great
Really like this product, only wish they had tile in grate options like FloFX or Schluter.
We offer tileable grate options for both linear trench drains and standard point drains (WonderDrain).
Any chance you have ever done book matched marble showers ? Would love to know more about it if your looking for content ideas
How high do you put the edge of the stones above the metal edge of the drain? Excellent work!
what type of blade? and also where can i find that small blade setup you were using?
Need one as well
For a temporary shower floor why grout? EXCELLANNT TIPS .
Tile Coach, can you post the video of you installing the pan, I don’t see that video anywhere, thanks
I never seen that bit nice. Need the link
If grout is porous then what type of grout would you use for the shower floor tile?
I've done the template method a few times but for me it just takes longer. One guy measuring and laying while another does the cutting is just as fast, even with complex layouts, and there's no chance of error. Let the surface be the template and just get it done.
Thanks Coach. I needed this video. Doing almost the same install with a 42x60 Redi-Trench pan and black sliced pebble tile for the floor. Just about ready to get the mortar bed poured but I’m a bit worried about not getting the spaces between the ribs and especially the curb 100% full of mortar. Any tips on how to make sure I’m not leaving any empty spaces underneath the pan ?
How many days would you estimate, for yourself and one helper, to tile and grout the walls and floor for this shower install? Thank you!
What is that cool small grinder blade you are using?
Is the next step grout, or no grout needed on pebble tile?
Where do you buy that tiny diamond blade ?
Where did you get that small ceramiccutting blade for your grinder....
Super useful videos. I one question. I am doing a flat pebble tile backsplash in the kitchen, and am trying to understand which grout type to use. Sanded or Un-Sanded? most of the points are between 1/4 and 1/8, but there are areas that have larger. Which should I use?
I hope the wallboard video is coming out soon, I can't seem to find it
You can see a complete installation video for the wall boards here: czcams.com/video/MXugHg06BsU/video.html
Normal grout or resin?
This is great, Im just surprised this isn’t something you’ve done. It literally cuts pebble pan set time by 1/2.
“I see a lot of failures at the floor-wall connection.” Exactly. A lot of failures.
What’s the name or brand of the small grinding wheel you used as well as the polishing pad?
I have one on my Home Depot wish list, they make a 30" x 60" which is the max I can fit, toilet too close. Otherwise I would have to make a mud pan as Schluter min 32" and HydroBlok 36".
Very good video Coach! Have you used the redi-Tile pan with any tiled wall panels? I want to use the redi-tile pan with the Utile wall panels.
Have you install the Tile Redi barrier free pan yet?
Issac, do you have a video of the tile-redi system install?
You can see a complete installation video for the wall boards here: czcams.com/video/MXugHg06BsU/video.html
What kinda setup is on the blue grinder? I have never seen that blade before
I think it’s a bihui. Not sure. Kirk bought it at cortopassi but never used it. I was the first one to use it!! Cool little blade.
They need an Arizona Tile in Kentucky great store I deal with them in San Diego them and Emser Tile
What style of system is this, I’ve done the schluter system for yrs… this looks a lot simpler and even better… please let me know.. thanks
It's a Tile Redi shower pan and wall boards. This pan specifically is our linear trench - Redi Trench pan.
wheres the video of you putting the walls and shower floor at
Which brand of penetrating sealer would you recommend the most for natural stone like these?
I used tileready 10yrs ago. I lived in south Florida that the time. Now I live in Chicago. What do you think about using tileready in the Midwest with the changing of weather??
We've got people from all over using our pans, weather is not an issue.
My heart skipped when i saw how close your hands were to the saw!
Hey bro. Love your work and great tutorials. I b a retired home building GC remodeling my master bathroom with 32x60 walk in shower.
1.m16x40 shower niche- wanting RGBW lED lighting either strip or 2mor 3 mini 12V P67 recessed downlights with recommended power supplies and dimmer. Where to get products?
2. Considering drop down ceiling to make for utilizing shower as sauna - thought would want have it tight to top of 72ish height glass doors though could perhaps use 12”+ cedar on walls above the wall panels. Then fabricate something to temporarily put up above doors when sauna in use. Surely there be basic product available to make
a make shift simple sauna
Suggestions be appreciated Issac thanks
Note to self: take a quick picture of the tiles in order, before you bring them in. Saves time and grief
That is a good method for river rock installation . I I dig that shower system. Is it rated for steam?
Hey Coach, how do you re-grout pebbles when they get grungy? With square or rectangular tiles, you can scrape or grind out the old grout; but irregular tiles, this isn't so easy.
Honestly you don't.
You can have the tile and grout professionally cleaned.
Once cleaned you can use grout colorant if you want to change the color.
@@dgraf8076 cheers! The tiles in my shower are definitely getting towards that point.
After you laid the tile do you have to put something over the tile when its done? I want to lay a pebble tile on the fireplace hearth and was wondering after I lay that do I put Mortar over it to fill it in then wipe it off?
Isaac, I’ve been told that only epoxy thinset should be used for pebbles like these because the pebbles are held to the mesh by an epoxy type resin. The theory is that regular modified thinset wont bond to the resin as its designed to bond directly to stone or tile resulting in the pebbles loosening up over time. Mapai Keripoxy or Latacrete epoxy 300 have been recommended. What is your thought on this? What thinset would you recommend? Thanks. Love your channel.
