Huge, steam shower installation from studs to tile with modern materials and traditional mud floor combined to create a waterproof shower. This shower has an area for a tub, the shower floor and main floor a both heated with radiant electric heat by Schluter Ditra Heat floor warming system. Wallboard used is a lightweight foam board by schluter, Kerdi-Board, used both on the shower walls and ceiling to create a water and vapor tight environment suitable for a steam shower. The bench seat was constructed of 2” kerdi-Board, which simplifies the construction by using a light weight foam board, which is very strong and easy to assemble and make water tight with the use of Kerdi-Band, the bench was also heated for a comfortable warm experience when used. The very large shower floor was created with a level area where the tub will sit and a sloped area for the shower portion, sloped to a Schluter Kerdi-Line linear drain. The floor was floated with deck mud and then covered with Ditra heat membrane for the heat wire element, then sealed with Kedri sheet membrane as required in a wet area. A large format ceramic tile was used on the shower walls and ceiling installed with T-Lock leveling system, and a Hexagonal mosaic tile was used on the shower floor, a larger hex tile was used on the heated main floor. As a note, hexagonal tile was very popular years ago, but faded in popularity for quite some time, they are now making a return even as large format tiles. This video time lapse shows the entire installation of the bathroom tile, from the studs to the finished installation of all the tile, wall tile, ceiling tile, mosaic shower floor tile and hexagonal main floor tile. Even though it would have been possible to use a large format tile on the shower floor, because the floor had a flat surface pitched to a linear drain, the homeowner decided to use a black hexagonal mosaic tile. An advanced grout was used to grout the walls and floor, White grout on the ceiling and two shades of gray for the walls and floors. All tile installed by Sal DiBlasi, Elite-tile Company, in the Boston North Shore area.

Sal, you are the man. So good to see the knowledge of a hard working man who has earned it
😊👍
You are the man Sal! You are an inspiration. Beautifully done.
18:45 that Crip walk is amazing.
😂
Nice job Sal
Thank you kindly
You are the tile coach!!! I’ve watched the feud between you 2. Silently. But this video is like a thunder bolt. His heart is in his work. Look at the steps. The care. The time. He’s glad someone hired Big Sal to make this bathroom awesome but more importantly done RIGHT.
Not in a feud with tile coach, Isaac, we talk on occasion. However that other guy, ⭐ he has no clue.
@@SalDiBlasi You and Isaac are awesome. Bob however is his own worse enemy. Keep up the great content Sal.
I have no words, your work it’s totally incredible 👏👏👏 keep it up 👍
I enjoyed very much watching you perform your magic. But, as a rank beginner, I enjoy even more all of the shorter videos that you narrate on what you are doing. I learn more from them as they come at talking speed (I do like when you speed it up after the explanation). I have watched about 20 or more of your videos already and will continue to do so. Each video has received a like from me. I can't thank you enough for educating me on the ins and outs of tile work.
Thanks, glad it helped
Good to see a true craftsman like urself Sal, ur exactly what a young tilesetter needs to look up to. Awesome job and awesome habits. Love ur work. Ur a 11 out of 10 !
Wow, thanks!
@@SalDiBlasi no thank u . Ur my #1 resource if I have any question on how to set tile. I enjoy watching ur videos
I love your work! Every day that I go into work at my job, I think: maybe they’ll fire me for doing the right thing again. If they do, I’m going to get into the tile trade like Sal. You inspire me brother!
Thanks for watching my video.
Love the long form videos Sal. Always a great watch. Great video.
Thanks for watching my video.
Awesome job!!
Thanks!
Great music Sal...so much greatness here today
😊👍
You are exceptional & a gift to all!!!! That is a beautiful bathroom!!!! ❤
Thank you so much!
So you do have helper,makes it a lot easier. Great job.am 67 still doing 100 of shower.
Just some help for one day, he actually works for the GC
You are amazing and inspiring. Thank you Sal . 🙂👍🙏
Beautiful work, as always!
That was so neat to see from start to finish! Great job Sal. It wasn’t until the end when I saw the tub in there that the flat area of the floor made sense. Very cool. Nice job Sal.
Do you propose the design to your clients or do they come to you with an idea(or both)?
Usually a collaboration
This is my 3rd time watching this video. It’s incredible work
Thanks for watching my video.
amazing job.
Master piece Sal !
Thanks for watching my video.
Work of art, she a beaut
Thanks for watching my video.
Where is this guy from? I can appreciate the care and craftsmanship he’s putting into his work wish he could do my master bath. I learned so much from this video could only imagine what I could learn in person passing this man his tools and tile all day if I was this guys apprentice
Thanks for watching my video.
Hail the tile God 👌
That Turned out so damn good!
Thanks
Great Build !! I wonder what was your labor time on this project & cost ? Don’t care for the design but man what a haul to accomplish!
Thanks
Welcome
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely Beautifully,learning so much thank you for your post.
You are so welcome
What type of grouting did you use for the ceiling ? And What an amazing work as always
Just a regular grout.
Incredible work! I just did a DYI tile job but it was hell for my back. How do you do this day in and day out without hurting your back and knees? You have any helpers? Looks like you do everything alone.
Yes work alone, and yes I am falling apart🤪
Sal DiBlasi lol
Can you do steam shower and sauna for me? San Jose
How do we find craftsman like you?! Nobody does good work like this anymore..

and here www.ceramictilefoundation.org/
Great Work!
Thanks for the visit
Excelente trabajo señor .! 👌
😊👍
Very good! I had a vision to do this with a bathroom that has just a commode, sink and oversized walk-in shower. If you don't mind, what is the price range of doing something like this? I know it can cost a pretty, but it is worth it vs buying those god awful steam rooms with all those fancy bells and whistles. I love steam rooms vs dry saunas. Some prefer dry heat but steam will ultimately do what a dry sauna can do and effectively deep clean
👍👍🔥🔥great work
Thanks 🔥
What is that stuff covering the copper lines. The white stuff
Haey Sal do you do the designs?
Why put kerdi over the ditra heat ? And what are you putting over your studs prior to board install assume a thick mortar to fur out plumb but no need for wire to hold the t set? Looks good.
Kerdi over wire is required in a wet area like a shower, thinset on the studs is to Wet Shim, I have videos about both.
Sal amazing job.how much is labor for that size shower?
thanks
Good job bro
Thanks for letting me sit back and watch someone else do the work and as always another amazing work of art. BTW is the ceiling sloped?
The ceiling is supposed to be sloped at 2" per foot, but in many cases the customer does not want that. The purpose of the slope is to direct steam that condenses on the ceiling to flow toward a wall so that it odes not form cold droplets of water that then drips on the person in the steam shower. The customer is made aware of the issue, and in most cases they will opt to not have the slope. In a continuous use steam room where the steam is on all the time, it is much more important to slope the ceiling.
@@SalDiBlasi That's what I thought and agree with you. Even with a dramatic slope of 2" per foot droplets still form and in a large shower like yours droplets will form even if the ceiling were sloped. Unfortunately it is a code requirement around my neck of the woods.
Mr. DiBlasi. What type of Thinset did you use to stick the tiles on the ceiling!!! I know the clips helped lock it in but the first couple pieces didn't even move. 😉 You are Incredible I love watching your videos!
Same thinset as the rest of the shower, proper mixing and thinset coverage is key.
Amazing...
Sal it appeared like you tiled the ceiling before you finished the top row of the walls. If so, what is the reason?
That way the wall tile kind of helps hold up the ceiling tile and you don’t see the cuts from the ceiling into the walls
It's great to see some of these longer videos of the complete install again. Stunning work as always Sal. One question however, why did you add the full kirdi membrane over the ditra? I assume it's because the ditra isn't rated for a steam shower but not quite sure.
I believe it's part of the ditra heat specification. Kerdi goes over the ditra heat since they don't want the wires in the water.
@@jons7054 that makes sense. I know kirdi membrane isn't vapor rated for steam showers, however kirdi band is. Thats why I was curious.
What Jon S said
Nicely done Sal!
1 Question: why do you make a bed of mortar for the Ditra to lay on vs directly over the concrete?
Subfloor is plywoid and I need to slope the floor to the drain
This is beautiful 😍🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️that tub.
Question Sal, to prevent noise from running water and when we turn on the faucets, what can be used between the walls and the boards?? We have a very small house and the bathroom is between the two bedrooms and every time you turn on the shower the dogs get startled and start barking like crazy because the piping and the water or the flushing of a toilet or any little ping sound comes right through the walls. 🤦🏻♀️ if insulation was supposed to be added in between walls and I was supposed to ask my contractor at the time I did not know that, so now I just have hollow walls.
I do plan on having my steam shower redone thank you for the links that you sent me.
Just wondering if I can ask for anything to be installed between the walls so we don’t have to go through that noise again.
Oh lord see those are big tiles on the ceiling as well.
I was told by my fired contractor that my tiles would be to heavy.
So for the future I was thinking of looking into tiny size mesh tiles, is this true would big tiles eventually start to fall?
PS I appreciate the classical type music to the video it’s very soothing and easy to watch.🙏🏼
Insulation will help dampen the noise to some degree, so have them install some wher you want to muffle the noise. As far as tile on the ceiling, there is no reason to restrict the size of the tile. Proper mortar mixing and thinset coverage will hold the tiles in place and they will never fall. czcams.com/video/Q3WXZqezOjs/video.html
@@SalDiBlasi thanks Sal 🙏🏼
I noticed you didn't add any kerdi pipe seal or valve seals on any penetrations. are they not really required if you get the kerdi board cut tight enough?
All valve trims come with a rubber or neoprene seal… I always add clear caulk around the trim as an added effort…certain valves don’t match the kerdi seal ..IE the Delta r22000. The only advantage I see is that the rubber damn would prevent water from rolling into the wall cavity if you have a failure on the trim seal. In my opinion the opposite or back wall takes on much more water than the valve side.
Amazing. I’m a DIYer, I’ve noticed the manufacturing pattern on the back of tiles varies. I’ve seen a pocket honeycomb or grid on the back.
Just recently seen what I would describe as an incorrect notch trowel pattern on the backside. Does this make a difference or indicate quality ?
Has no importance.
Correct me if I am wrong. Why do the bench and the curb framing look flat. Shouldn't the be pitched inward for and water that gets under the tile?
They are sloped, you can't determine that in the video.
Whao so much work, looks amazing, What kind of drain will be use here,
You can see it at 1:03:24 chrome drain the protective plastic is still on it.
Thank u im new to that one, such a job is so inspiring
How big the shower steam room ? 6 feet (72 inches) and deep?
10' x6'
I saw you using a vibrating device to set large format tiles on a prevvious video, i dont see any recomendations in your store,comments?recomendations?
amzn.to/3xpFlsM
How long time? What price?
Can we use hardy backer board with 3 coats of redgard for steamshower?
no
@@SalDiBlasi can i use schulter waterproof membrane on top of coated red gard?
Sal, you retired? All I've been seeing are re-runs
No, just updating some older videos.
What ever you were paid for this job it wasn't enough.
What's the black material you used on the subfloor before using mud?
Galvanized Diamond mesh lath
@@SalDiBlasi was there a fabric/ tar paper underneath that?
yes
@@SalDiBlasi thank you !. Love your work! Love watching your videos. You should get an apprentice to carryon your amazing skills
What did you use for the mud job?
👍💪👌👏🍻🍻
😊👍
100K bathroom.
I want to do dirty things to Sal.
😯
Its painful to watch you use your level as a screed! You have been doing this long enough to know about wooded straight edges or aluminum straight edges.
Advil is cheap, it is an old level.
These bathrooms are looking ugly af,l design wise, this aint tile work anymore, its the age of ugliness
