I think he did a stellar job explaining everything quite well. However, I might point out that you NEVER want to swirl your thin set mortar before applying tile. ALWAYS straight lines and back-butter each tile to insure a perfect contact and no possibility of corner cracking from un-even weight. Just a suggestion. Thanks
the speed with which he drops the tile almost already in place shows the clear ease of the true pro. It's a pro that makes it look easy. Puts me off even trying
This is how most tile professionals set up the layout in my area. I've been working in tile for 7 years and this type of method can be very fast once you get the hang of it. Of course, we use laser levels off of our initial wall line and measure for 2 tiles and 2 grout spaces in order to get the 2nd perpendicular line. Basically, this is a basic version of how to begin a grid pattern which is very fast and allows several installers to begin at different ends of any job.
Thank you, I will be installing tile for my first time tomorrow on a job. After watching this, I am a true professional, my boss will have no idea this will be my first time laying tile because of this video. After the job is complete I shall celebrate with tea and crumpets in honor of the man working in this video! Subscribed! :D
Very detailed tutorial you've outlined. We find so many installers that use a metal float to grout stone floors with. The process leaves fine scratches all over.
makes cuts around doors and walls alot easier, but I love the rapid set thinset....I do alot of tile and makes it so much faster.......you can tell this guy been doin this for awhile
