Quick CZcams search and there it is, a great helpful explanation. Cheers.
Awesome, have fun 🙌
Seen a few tile trim videos on YT but this is the best one quick easy you cover the main points and some very important advise - wish me luck on my first ever tile project 🤞🏽
You don't need any luck, you'll do great 🙌
Set the trim in thinset, then use a couple of screws to hold it in place. That way you don't have to rush. Screws come out easy later.
Id say the thinset holds it in place, you'd only really need to move it if you hadn't set it plumb in the first place. As you've mentioned them, just screws on their own might do a good job of securing temporarily instead. Although I suppose it all depends on what they have to fix in to might make it more difficult 😬
Good to see some how too vids! Good effort
Thanks buddy
Straight to the point, suscribed
👍 oh no, lots of other stuff isn't straight to the point though 🙈😁
Just did my shower on my new house with those strips, the first shower I used the 5" pencil tiles, what a pain in the azz. The next one I used the Schluter strips, really easy. I held mine on with blue painters tape and took the strips off as I went up.
Cool, I tried that method when I first started tiling
good work
"Tile like the winds!"😅
bonus points for cute/accent. Thanks!
Short, sweet, to the point. Crazy amount of “installing tile trim” videos on here that are shite. Nice one!
Thanks mate 👍
cheers
God lol for like 30 seconds I was like “man what language is that , sound pretty unique…
Hahaha I was just talking fast to try and do a short video as not many people seem to have the patience to watch longer videos and that's pretty much evident by the high view count on here in comparison to my other videos 😅
I just leave the adhesive inset enough to get the trim in after, using a small offcut to make sure tiles are at the right height off the wall and then I don't need to rush the tilling.
That's a good idea 👍 a tiler once said he would do this at a friend's place as he said the trim can only be fitted afterwards, however he never came back and he also didn't leave the adhesive far enough back for 95% of it 🤦♂️ most of it was only about 5mm off the edge of the tile. I had to fix it for them, that was an absolute pain 😩
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT he probably didn't come back because he messed up the trim prep 😂
Pretty Good for a Brit! Make your way across the pond and I'll give you a job
Thanks dude 👍
Hi what type and size blade did you use on the grinder to cut the trim?
I use these amzn.to/43RUhjz
Remind me of David Beckham lol
What if your tiling into free wall space and not to the roof Smarties lance How do you determine where to cut...
I'm not quite sure what you mean...ermm I cut the trim where I want the tiles to finish, so I would have already worked out the tile lay out so I don't have any silly cuts. Does that answer your question?
Why not fit most of the tiles across to the trim and then the trim before the last vertical row of tiles?
Yeah I suppose you could do that, although it depends on the size of your tiles. I would rather be quick with these small tiles than fiddle about trying to put adhesive onto the wall at the edge or even directly onto the back of the tile (that would be messy). I've done tiles that were about 400 x 300 the same way as in this video and it was quick and easy as I had it all cut beforehand.
This is how I would do it. Only if the tiles are in a grid pattern though. With a brick pattern it has to be done a different way.
What I do is just don't put glue to the end of the tiles and the next day I just put glue and push in the trimmings works easy
Yep that's another way, but it's a bit risky 😁
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT yes tiles must be plumb and straight
Mitre fast it in place mate, tile at your leisure then 👍
That's a good idea, although that's providing you don't have to move it a tiny bit once you start tiling 😬
my tiles are 8.8mm will a 10mm tile trim be OK?
As a general rule you do go up to the next size. Tiles that are 9mm are the awkward size as really a 11mm trim would be best. My tiles here were 9mm, so I went for a 12mm trim and used an 8mm square notched trowel. It's probably 1mm too big as a finished result. If you used a 6mm square notched trowel then a 10mm trim would probably be fine.
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT thanks bud. the tile trims on corners stright be ok? or angled
@@mdon1662 you can use either really. I've only ever used the straight (L shaped) ones. You just need to make a decision on which edge you're going to put it on
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT many thanks where you based

So tile trim in straight line is one thing….mitres and such is another thing….but a tri-mitre I.e on a windowsill where you have 3 points of contact….I mean is there an easy way to do this..🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨😳😳😳
For flat trim just use the same principle, the vertical trim is butted anyway and then the horizontal ones you can either miter or butt joint it. So in theory you can butt joint all of them, you just have to cut the backing trim at 45 or more on 2 of them. For rounded or box trim you can buy corner pieces 😁 easy 😉
Can this be install after?
Only if you keep the adhesive back far enough from the edge of the tile but I wouldn't advise doing that. If you are quick at tiling and have larger tiles you can tile and push the trim in before the adhesive dries but I have found the way I done it in the video works out best
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT its dried over 2 weeks. Thinking of grind in between the paste than jammed the trim? Any thoughts?
@@rafamerengues8935 ah that's a pain. I've had to do this before to fix another tradesmans mess. Yes use a grinder with a diamond blade to grind out the dried adhesive a little bit. You don't need to go that deep though cause you can cut most of the back of the trim off. Get a metal cutting blade and put the trim on top of a batten of wood then cut the trim so it doesn't have to go as deep behind the tile. Good luck!
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT ah yes, ill try this one. Good one on cutting the trim of. Should i put some adhesive to it like grout or silicone?
@@rafamerengues8935 yes, maybe a grab adhesive? Or a hybrid sealant/adhesive
That's a Kobalt spirit level?!?!
I suppose its Kobalt in colour maybe
Well it looks exactly like my Kobalt level. I'm in Oklahoma, USA.
Do you know what brand it is?
@@IntelligentElephant oh no its Draper 😂
Hello, we are producing this product, and I think we can reach a cooperation.
My email is in my 'about' section on my channel page 👍
I just back butter the edge of the tile 1/8 inch , set tile
and shove the schulter in the thin set, all at once.
Thats easy to do with bigger tiles, but not with these little f'ers 😂
Possibly the worst tile job I've ever seen. Pass.
Would you care to expand on your criticism so that it's at least constructive? I'm happy to receive feedback 😉 where have I gone wrong in your eyes?
