Dang. That looks really nice!
hi. learning from you. do you think filling in the grout lines with more grout and blending it out so that the tile and grout become more flush with one another would help with this process?
It looks so good! I wish my mom had skills like your (or me as Im 40) :D and need an extra storage bed like this
Can you tell me how many boxes of Henry cement you used for the 5 coats? Looking to do this to my kids shower Btw, your shower looks amazing
How long did this last?
Any Canadian products that are similar for my Canadian friends watching this video?
Wow! I really appreciate you sharing this. I'm looking for options to cover my dated shower tiles and this seems doable. Thank you!
Is that a Kirby?
Yes!! 😆 best vacuum ever Do you have one too
KUDOS. Glad i found this video. You did a great job!!! I'll probably remove the shower head and shower knob plate cover first.
Holy shit Amber this is amazing! In Australia the microcement products are often only sold to professional trades or the kits you can buy are $1400 for 10m2... I wanted a softer colour but for the price difference I might be able to compromise.
Can you shower if you don’t finish the sealer in a day.
I gave it 3 coats of sealer yesterday & it seems to be fine but im giving it 2-3 more today just to be safe. I'm waiting on the 4th coat to dry then will do a water test 🤞🏼
Thats simply brilliant!!!
Looks AWESOME! Thanks for sharing what you did! 😊😊😊
I am going for it!! lol, I did sand a bit on top of my tiles. I also found a trial that you use to grout works easier!
How long did everything take to dry?
Love this!! Found you from LRN2DIY. How is it to clean? Any special cleaners?
how is cleaning it?
Grwat video. Thanks. Awesome way to explain
Great video
Reminds me of the bathrooms we had in crackhouses.
Благородную плитку превратить в оштукатуренную стену, это что красиво, нравятся стены общественного сартира ?
If you don't deglaze your tiles that skim coat will start to flake within a year. You didn't deglaze.
Is it slippery at all when wet?
WOW!!!!
Beautiful! Can I ask what you put around your tub and on the front of your tub?
Is the floor slippery?
I am curious about this too
I did my walls in calendars already, now I want to do my floors, but I have Spanish tile. I think I’m going forward anyway.😤
Can’t wait to do mines. Great job, 🎉🎉
this deserves so much more recognition - thank you soooo much for sharing :)!! this is an idea I had for my bathroom as well but I want to do the entire bathroom, does the concrete mix absorb water well? we have a problem with moldy / moist spots so I want it to be good for cleaning & drying
Thank you JESUS there is an easy fix to a crappy make over job 🙌🏾💪🏾❤️
Amazing
You are my hero 🦸♀️ can you please advise if there is a white option?
I literally just watched a video where a guy used white... I'll post if I can find it again
I know Ardex sells a white feather finish cement but I’ve never used it. I’ve seen people use it on the countertops though and it looks beautiful
How long did the project take you? Thanks! LOVE IT!
It took me 2 maybe 3 weeks to finish but that’s because I worked on it here and there. There is a lot of waiting for layers to dry but if you’re working consistently on it I would think it could be done in a few days
Was the sealer high gloss or more of a matte finish? How has it held up over time? Any yellowing or change of color after applying the sealer?
Good question- it didn’t change the look or texture. I was reading the label and it just says it strengthens and seals chalky surfaces. It’s held up perfectly! No yellowing, no cracking, no chipping. 🙌 I’ve really been impressed with it
how long did the sealer take to dry when you did 8 to 10 layers? how slippery is it?
The first two layers took about an hour and a half to dry and then each layer after that dried faster and faster. It’s surprising not slippery! It feels about the same as tile- smooth but enough texture to not slip. If that makes sense ☺️
😮
Did you do the floor as well? Also what sealer did you use?
Here from LRN2DIY. Looking forward to viewing your content.
Are there any options for color besides the grey you used in the video? Great job btw
❤❤I know Ardex sells a white feather finish cement but I’ve never used it. I’ve seen people on Pinterest use it for their countertops and it looks beautiful
What did you end up doing with the floor? I have such a similar tiled shower and floor and I want to do this but I don't know what to do about the floor. Cement floor and shower seems like too much maybe? I'm not sure. Also would love if you could post what sanders you used! I have an orbital, but wondering if need others for this project.
I cemented the floor too 😅 although this is where all the water just sits so I’m start to see a few trouble spots. I’ll be posting a video about that soon. The sander I’m using is a dewalt orbit sander but really any sander would work. You could even sand it by hand if you wanted 😊
I love this Did you get any cracking
Please tell me this is satire
Really love this😍. How do you maintain it?
That’s amazing! I have the ugliest tile in my bathroom. Just left Lowe’s I have all the supplies and will start asap! Thank you
I just finished a shower in my rental unit! Thank you for this video! ❤ I want to do another shower, but was wondering if you had any tips on clean up in between mixing. I found that to be the most annoying. Also which trowel was easiest to use.
I was looking for a video just like this found you from another account love it
Awesome! Thank you!
Is it still working?
How much of tje cement do u need?
I only had to use one box! It goes a long way if you mix in smaller batches. Otherwise it dries to fast before you can’t use it all
Love your diys! Have you ever tried adding paint to the heather finish?
Thanks so much!! Yes! I tried mixing paint in the cement and it caused it to crack 😞 but painted over it with 1•2•3 zinsser primer and that has worked!
Would you paint over the seal & seal again or have to paint it before sealing ? @amber-uponaladder
Wow wow. Amazing ❤❤❤. Can we use any type of cement instead? Do you have any idea? Tnx
Good question. I don’t think you can. Regular cement won’t stick but this feather finish cement is created different and it bonds to just about any surface- at least that’s what the box says 😊
