I always cut the Architrave so that the tiles fit under it.
It ius best practise to remove excess adhesive from around eact tile prior to llaying the next tile.this practise also prevents the grout opening being filled with adhesive keeping the tile clean
Really good video. I'm a very experienced DIYer but watching this has given me a couple of things to think about as I embark upon a complete floor replacement of my Spanish villa. Cheers!
At 21:59 the door is closed and the tile goes under the door and in that respect if you are on the other side of the door in the opposite room you will be seeing the tile protruding into the room. At 25:28 you can clearly see how the tile protrudes into the next room and with the door closed you will be able to see this tile. Unless the same tiles are going to be laid next door as well and butt up to these tiles then that's fine but if its a different floor material like carpet or wood then from the room with the other floor material in you should not be able to see the tile protruding you would have a suitable Threshold strip between the two floor materials but you shouldn't be able to see the threshold strip if it's fitted in the correct position directly under the door. The same goes if you are in the room with tiles you shouldn't be able to see the threshold strip or the other floor be it wood or carpet from the tiled room. Just a minor detail, I know, so don't shoot me.
I didn’t know you could paint the sealer on the whole floor.. just sealing the grout lines is a pain .. thanks for the video.. entertaining 👍
Great presentation🎉
Great detailed guide….thanks.
It is cleaner to place an off-cut of tile close to the moulding useing it as a height guide and cut out the excess moulding allowing the tile to be fitted under the moulding.
Back butter & thin set should be parallel to the short side of the tile so air can escape. Integrity & Strength could be compromised.
Don't need the applicator just do it by hand. As a tiler I only started using these systems about 3 months ago always just used normal spacers. This just makes it a little easier. Make sure to clean the adhesive out of the lines before putting the clips in saves you a job later. Also use normal spacers still as the clips arnt 💯 so cover yourself by using spacers aswell.
Very helpful indeed
Hi Craig and TM, this is the best video I have found on this. Very helpful, thanks :)
Good video, off I go to tile the new bathroom!
Really informative, thank you.
Learnt so much for this video , will you need an apprentice , i would like to wirk with you and learn more
What is the name of the sealsnt please.
IF you are going to install 300 x 300 tiles, do you use one installation method and are the spaces you leave not many of the usual small ones?
Hii, What are the guidelines for needing to back butter the tiles?
Why you not skimming off a thin layer of the thin set on the edge of the tile before placing the clips for the second tile? And why no back buttering of the tiles?
It's not necessary to back buttering tiles if you have enough thin set on the floor
Amateure answer look like you dont know how instale tile @@fernandesrichemond830
What’s the minimum bed size for a floor tile pal? Struggling for bight on a external door
im about to remove my old ceramic from my wall to put on a new one. Do i need to remove ALL the old concrete on the wall so that new concrete can be put on? Or can i just put new ceramic on old concrete walls?
And you can cut the door jambs with a jam saw or a grinder or Dremel or hacksaw and it would eliminate the cardboard template etc etc etc and it looks better
How come you put that tidy piece next to the wall? I would've been fired for that.
What leveling system can use if tiles have small stones texture, wich are uneven, is not a plane surface!
I notice you don`t apply adhesive to the back of the tile like I have seen before ???
Is this really not necessary ???
Thanx...
What do you do other side of the door where the floor level is much lower??
Eat your heart out 😹😹
Nice video indeed, but myself I usually start my floor tile in the centre of the house 🏠, coz most of the time this houses are not straight...
👍👍😊
Unless you're not working by piece work if you charging by the hour I definitely recommend cardboard template
Well template for amateur
Hi mountain! I don’t suppose you could help me with a set out for my tiles? I am am struggling to work out how to do it as it goes up my entrance hall and then into the dining room?
Plan it out
What is the size of spacer you use?
need to apply thinset paralell to shortest side
Where is the Guide line you are following with the tiles.How do you know is a perfect straight line ?All looks good , but you did not checked that.
Brother. I generally just pull the pins off the hinges. When removing doors.. but hey that's just me
Is the floor concrete?
No, it was a wooden floor that had cement boards applied first so that it could be tiled over
Watch the video again
No back putter on tiles why don’t you clean the the edges of tiles before putting in the clips so the adhesive doesn’t come up on the joints
The real questions here!
He mentioned it at the beginning as an “option”.
A "roober" mallet ?
Why put a small cut in.. why not have the larger cut looks better?
Nasty Nick dislikes this.
This video is shame for real tile setter
Hát ez elég amatőr munka.Kijött a ragasztó a széleknél
Wrong tiling!
You'll be lucky to have 50% coverage under those tiles, them with the waffled backs need to be back buttered.
Not a great advert for tile Mountain to be honest.
Right he is not tile setter just pretend to be what mess
Im not a tiler but he did say you can butter the back of the tiles if you want to.
Already fail
Should start with a full tile against a while either
No back butter? No thanks.
