TikTok brought me here.. not doing tile work but love to see others work and completed neat tasks!
Make no mistake guys. Large format tile slopes to a center drain are incredibly difficult.
It’s made to look easy here. But it’s a challenge to get right if it’s not your profession.
You can absolutely do it tho. Just don’t ever say “eh… we’ll sort that particular detail out on the next step.” You’ll back yourself into a corner that you won’t get out of easily.
Great video! Nice work!
Looks awesome! Great how to video. I’m enjoying the content. Keep em coming! 👍🏼💪🏼
What I like from this video is this installer got very nice tools.
You’re the best and thanks to TikTok I am learning many things that I will used thank you
best video about tiling a shower thank you!. Dziekuje
Very nice ! Thank you for sharing 👍
Very nice dude!! Loved the t-shirt too lol!!
Nice video thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!! Blessings ur way !!!!
self-leveling after the shower base is a great idea man
This dude is nice. Very intimidating assignment.
Great job
Love this…plan a dry run outside before assembling the floor. Thanks
Nice job!
I really enjoy how in your videos when you are using a tool you talk or play music instead of making us hear the loud tool I'm a new follower of your channel I have my own construction company and I really enjoy your Content
Thank you Bud.
Dude that's Art .... Keep it up ... Thanks for sharing
Hey man thank u so much u give a good ideas about it !
I also do these work and still have learn alot from ur videos them👍👍
The job is beautiful, it would be great to have some of our questions on how to do it answered.
Thank you so much. I've watched a lot of videos, but none of them explain it at the very end. How should the level be? You are a real dude, you showed everything correctly, and I finally understood everything how I should do it.
huh... it really is that simple. Good to know. I work at floor and decor and I had been told that lft in a shower is possible but i never knew how so. glad to know because I'd like to do a job one day...just don't know when
New subscriber here from TikTok, Thankyou so much for all your vids and tips!!! Would love to go and learn with you 😁🙌
Cool intro 😎
Yo was super confused on slopes good video no cap
Looks great! What grit polishing pad do you typically use on porcelain edges?
Nice work bro
From TikTok ✌🏽
Awesome job! TikTok brought me here
Thank you. Tiktok works well
thank you mate for such an amazing video, just a quick question, if any one does this on 10-15 showers you reckon he will be master in this skill?
First time I watch a tiling video with Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade in K, G 526) in the background.
One thing I figured out: the diagonal cut should be only for the tiles with either wall tiles on both sides or on no side. The once which have one side only i cut on the outer side about 15mm off center because the one wall tile brings then the grout lines optically back to center.
Sorry if you might not know what I mean but English is not my first language.
Do u have a editorial of doing the relief cuts on a curbless shower using a linear drain that's set toward middle of room?
My shower will b 6' long w a 5' linear drain the starts at the showerhead wall. I love ur design on this shower. But I'm thinking w the raised bath floor along the outside wall then dropping down level to bathroom floor that I could just cut a 12" narrow strip at the end of the drain so it mimicks the time in drain then just lay rest going up to outside wall.
Man I hope I described that correctly. I spoke to 5 business about laying it for me & all I got was what a bad design I planned... Wet bath bad, curbless bad, wall mount toilet bad,...
Have you used large tile in an offset shower pan using relief cuts? Not sure how that layout would look. Thanks for videos. Really good stuff.
Nice job! I did one of these today. Templating for them with door skin is really fast and clean. That’s about a 15 Sq foot pan, no reason you should be charging 45 a foot for that. You’re giving it away. Price needs to be at least double that. We charge 60 a foot for regular pans.
I hear ya, but here in tx people act like ya murdered their mom if you price is even near that. Unfortunately they just pay some illegals to do a half ass job for about $3 a ft. And then have the nerve to call us 6 months later to come and fix it.
675$ for a couple,hrs work is more than enough. Youre just greedy
@@Jack-russell103aww
Would the technique be the same if the pan has an offset drain?
How do you maintain the slope towards the drain? Would the large tiles be level?
What size tiles are they to start with?
What’s the name and size of that polishing wheel you used?
Do you use the same tile for the curb or you use the wall tile? Curious if you have a video showing that! Thank you!!
Would an 8x9 inch octagon tile require relief cut over a schluter pan with center drain?
Wow! That`s nearly what we are having very soon. The difference is only tiles are 1200*1200mm and 6mm thick porcelain. Is there any options to cut diagonally on a snap cutter, please? It seems to me, if diagonal gouts are smaller than regular ones, it would look better than thick diagonal gaps. Also, should this technique be used with 6mm porcelain (I mean three cuts and avoid one deep cut) to create relief wet cuts, please? And.. one more question- should we use different tile adhesive thickness or different size notch in comparison to standard 600*600*10mm tiles, please Is there any special approach for big format? Should we notch both surfaces- floor (wall) and tiles or substrate only? Thank you
Excellent videos, I wish you would have shown how to finish the walls and corners with the Hydro Ban boards and membrane. Did you use mesh tape, if so, which brand? Laticrete screws? How tall is the niche and how did you attach the back board in the Niche? You do very high quality work.
Woah. Lots of questions. Dm me on IG and I’ll walk you through it. I’ll be posting on IG about the niche next. This was just for the floor.
@@WINNI.Designs I pretty much found all my answers in your IG vids. Thanks!
What brand is that wet tile cutter?
If you make the relief cut from the corner of the tile to the corner of the grate, it won't align with the floor pan. The floor pan slopes from its corners towards the center.
can you share a link to the tile cutter?
What leveling clip brand are you using bro?
First respect your work I have learned so much from your videos. Is the tile slick when wet?
How much would you raise the drain an 1/8 or 1/4 of the tile
How much to cut a foundation horizontally for about 9ft x 6 in . I live in Effingham New Hampshire.
Well done. I have a question regarding the layers under your tiles. Why did not you use any water barrier layer under them? Wouldn't that be water issue for the underlying layers of the tile?
He tiled it to laticrete hydroban shower system … the green on the floor is the water proofing
Hello, what are the tile spacers that you use called? What's the model of them? Thanks.
Quick question, is there any limitations in doing the large file format in a basement, where the floor is all cement? Like would you need to have some sort of plywood like the main floor or is it not possible to do in a basement with a concrete floor?
I normally use a Schluter base when I’m working on concrete floors
Does it cost more to install larger tile vs mosaic tile?
is this possible if drain is not centered?
Do you have a video that shows how you graded the floor underneath the tiles? I am looking to go from a fiberglass shower to a tile shower and I dont know how to start the floor.
Prob a prefab pan from Schulter or similar
This gave me so many ideas thank you!!
But one question, why didn't you use some kind of dust collection or a mask when cutting the tiles with the grinder? I work in construction too just saying it for your own future health bro👷🏼♂️ ⚒️
Yeah I need to get better with that
how big are those tiles
Although I think your video is informative, you fail to mention that when installing a non mosaic tile needs to meet the requirements for wet slip coefficient. You wouldn't want anyone especially a client to get hurt!
-TheFlash
The tile been used in this video looks like high gloss? Is it going to be a problem?
@@danielhochohao ummmm yes
What size tile are those
I am going to attempt this, one thing not mentioned much is the blade kerf vs intended grout line spacing, doesn’t the cut width need to be the grout line spacing and the cut in the middle of the mark to not throw the sides off?
Are those polished tiles? Are they slippery?
How much does it cost psf to tile bathroom walls on average?
So installation would cost roughly 700 canadian based on your quote. But some reason everything is so expensive here in Canada. It will cost just north of 1500 for this.
I assume when you do this type of shower floor this is the first thing you tile in the room. How do you plan the layout for the rest of the floor especially when you are doing a different offset, such as 30%. Thanks! I'm about to tile this in a schluter pan and was confused about the rest of the floor.
Would this work in a shower with an offset drain? I want to attempt it (12x24 tile), but not sure how to lay it out to get the slope without lippage.
Coffee and hydroban in opening frame? Yeah I'll watch this video.
what grid polishing pad are you using?
I had the same question, could you please respond it?
Do you need an envelope cut shower base with flat surfaces for these large tiles or can it be done on a traditional bowl shaped base? Some of the foam base manufacturers require to specify the type of cut on the shower base...
Have you done a shower floor with this large format tile where the drain isn’t in the center of the shower pan? This looks great with the drain in the middle but having difficulty picturing it with an offset
proably the 2 tiles would be full and the 2 by drain cut on angle.
And all the grout lines throw everything out
What size leveling clips did you use? I'm about to do this myself and I'm a little stuck on how much material is lost to the wet saw cut and what size evening clips/grout lines to use. Thanks!
1/16 is the grout line
@@WINNI.Designs how did you know where the cut lines are/were ? I picked up a schluter pan, and the cut lines are almost invisible !
This information is always left out. So frustrating. Especially as I’m using a tile cutter to make all the cuts so no material is lost.
Can you please tell me what state you’re in? I need someone to tile two bathrooms.
I’m in Broward fl, and I can do better job
45sqft from nothing to pan to tiled?
What rpm does the grinder run at.
Looks like smooth surface, gloss finish tile installed. Someone’s going to break their ass on that shower floor.
I like the look, but seems like a slip hazard with big tile sections.
if you put the waste 45 to the til you have four 45 cuts
When you lay the tiles marking the drain I noticed that the vanes and design of the tiles don’t match, make sure you follow the arrow behind the tile on one direction
The arrows on back of tile, if any, have nothing to do with the veining or direction of the install, they are just kiln directions that installers shouldn't pay any attention to
Could you have done those relief cuts with the tile cutter ?
You could, but there is a big risk of breaking off the thin ends of the tile when you snap. For the cost of the large format tile if you mess them up you’re better off renting the big Wet saw
I don’t understand how the spacing works as I’m trying to do it with a tile cutter
Are these polished or matte finished?
This is honed tile
What would you charge for this instead if mosaic? I'm trying to bid a job of this magnitude. Thanks in advance
The floor alone + grout will probably equate to a full day of your time. Just charge what you would want to make in a day of work. I’d say 300-500 plus whatever prep for installing the pan and drain.
@@mitchmarostica5772 appreciate it. I actually ended up charging 400 over the top and it went off without a hitch
Did you have problems with your saw i have one like it and it cuts crooked there is a loose between the shaft and the motor and they will not fix it they now ignoring me 😢
What size rubi cutter is that. And do you read messages on two year old videos?
I’m wondering what kind of tile it is? Is it a polished porcelain? And if so is that safe for a shower floor? Thanks
I'm wondering the same thing.
@@katana1960 I ended up going with a matt finished tile, I didn’t feel comfortable with a glazed tile in a shower, however there are products on the market to make it safe (I came across a solution that adds ‘grip’ to polished tile, also they have grippy strips that you can put down on the tile)
@@Gmoneyyyyy thanks
Back 2 pie cuts are off. Do it again.😂
Seems very slippery for a shower flor.
Sure. All DIY guys have giant saws and scribes.
seems very slippery first shower your in the splits LOLOL
I only say this because I care: At 7:15 when you have all the tile dust around your nose is kinda of messed up. Breathing that stuff in daily is definitely bad for your health. I'm an amatuer tiler who's done just the tiling for a couple houses, so I'm not breathing it in every day/ long term. I usually cut outside with some breeze, or use a sponge to gently allow some water to get a "wet cutting" effect. If you're a pro tiling and cutting potentially every day, maybe getting a high quality mask is a good way to go, but seriously man, don't let yourself get silicosis! Otherwise great vid and very helpful.
Well isnt your business the way he work mask are for sissi like you
Isn’t there a prettier way to do this
How?
This is the prettiest envelope cut I've seen. Most use smaller tiles and there's tons of cuts and lines.
Good video but bro…polishing and grinding inside the house?? No bueno
It's nice craftsmanship but for some weird aesthetics reason I hate the look of relief cut tiles.
Who found the Easter egg
Why on earth would you spend that money on large tiles when you cut them down to smaller tiles.
No its not you have to plan lay out then figure out waste real pro can make it by the way tile are same price by sf
Large format tile in a shower is never a good idea because people slip fall and break their necks often in them
Use matte tile
looks very slippery!! yikes!!
