    Next time take video in landscape mode and not portrait. Part of the video can't be seen. The issue with this removal tool if you over-tighten the tool into the cup it may cause the cup to expand and may not be able to remove completely off the head..

      @@1mw4tch1ng both tools work off the expansion approach, yes? The additional problem with the other tool is its expansion is highly focused in one area rather than distributed throughout the entire length of the cup. I still believe that the pressure against more cup surface area gives more grip and pressure distribution to remove cups more safely & successfully. Just my opinion.

    Can you think of any reason why I couldn't do this project over vinyl stairs? The Ditra website indicates that it can go over vinyl, but curious what your thoughts are there. Thanks!

    • @shannon3228
      @shannon3228 3 года назад

      Erin I would not do it. Here's why, the vinyl is usually applied using some sort of adhesive. Most of these adhesive do not hold the vinyl well meaning its not secured well to the surface it was applied too. Vinyl is easy to remove in most cases. So I recommend that you test one entire area to see how easily it comes off. It it comes off easy like I believe it will, remove the rest of it to get to the wood riser and use that as the underlayment. Then use a putty knife or something similar and scrap as much of the adhesive off the wood riser to prep properly for the thinset needed to apply the ditra uncoupling membrane. The only thing you will lose by doing is is your time if you do it yourself. The key here is to ensure you have a solid and clean underlayment for the ditra to adhere too. If the vinyl proves to be sticking well, then YES, you should be able to apply the ditra on top of it. Make perfectly sure the vinyl is sticking well around the entire perimeter of the area. Otherwise buy vinyl adhesive and apply to those areas to secure them before applying the ditra. You should know our stairs is as beautiful as the first day I finished it. No cracks and the Santos Mahogany treads performing well. Again, I'm the first to use ditra in this manner. However, I'm an engineer and know how to read material specifications. That is how and why I decided on the construction materials I used. The material expansion and contraction at different temperature ranges was VERY important in addition the maximum expansion rating before cracks occur. Stairs expand and contract distances depending on the range of temperature and humidity. Remember, stairs move a lot every time you step on them. You know this by the noise they make. The goal is to purchase materials that can stretch more than the distance the stairs expand when stepping on it plus the amount of expansion and contraction as aforementioned. Otherwise, you get cracks. Good luck on your project.

I recommend that you follow everything I recommended for the tile part because if you don't, I truly believe the project will fail.

    • @shannon3228
      @shannon3228 4 года назад

      Sam S I did not use liquid nails. I used a manufacturer’s recommended adhesive. Liquid nails would have voided the tread warranty. Good question. I did not use liquid nails on the ditra either. I used recommended thinset and mortar. Unfortunately it was not exactly what ditra recommended. I had to deviate a bit to enable me to use ditra for this situation. Did you watch?

    Hi! And thanks for the video!! I have one question - can the dritra/ tile be applied before the wood?! Or you think of would break with time?! I was thinking of doing the tile first to avoid the mess on the wood and less cut but not sure now- what would you suggest and why? Thanks again !

    • @shannon3228
      @shannon3228 5 лет назад

      If you are talking about the stair tread, The answer is no. You must install the stair treads first before applying the Detra followed by the tiles. If you following the process I showed in my video, you should be able to avoid messing up the treads. You should butter the ditra like I showed before applying it to the risers. Once the ditra dries, you can tape using blue painters tape to protect the tread before applying thinset to the ditra to fill in the waffle holes. Once the thinset dries in the waffle holes, you butter the tiles and apply them to the ditra like I showed. Make sure you follow my process using the spacers. Good luck! Rob

    Very thorough videos Rob, I'm working on a similar project and its no small feat. I have 18 stairs and it has taken me several days of Sanding to take back the treads to be stained a better color, I should of used stripper. You mention using a caulk that is the same color as the grout, what brand and where did you get it? Did you mask off the mahogany treads to protect them while you were installing the tiles and grout? It looks fantastic, exactly how I was imanging our staircase to look in the coming months...

      Andy, I used MAPEI Flexcolor CQ for grouting which you can find here: www.mapei.com/US-EN/Tile-&-Stone-Installation-Systems/Ready-to-Use-Products/MAPEI-Flexcolor-CQ. I used MAPEI Mapesil T caulking with the same color picked for the MAPEI Flexcoloor CQ grout. The colors were designed to match: www.mapei.com/US-EN/product-detail.asp?IDTipo=11638&IDLinea=102&IDMacroLinea=0&IDProdotto=2028301489 I picked the caulk because of the color match and it ability and design to be used on high traffic areas where there is also a huge amount of flexing going on. Like window seals or stairs in our case. Yes, I masked off the top of the tread using old cardboard and blue painters tape 3M. I reused the cardboard until it has to be replaced.

I have very similar tiles and am debating black, white, other? 3) what did you do with the space at the ends of the risers in the cases where the talavera tiles did not come up flush to the wall? pls respond to: jdtaillant[at]gmail

      @shannon3228 5 лет назад

      Jorge sorry for the delayed response. I've been so busy lately. Yes, it is working out well. No cracks and still beautiful. If your colors are more darker, use dark grout and if its lighter, use light grout. The color of grout you use comes down to taste but in my opinion is its ability to blend into the tile colors and enhance its beauty. I recommend using a maintenance free grout with sealer already mixed into it like what we used. If you are talking about thinset/mortar, I would use a light color for lighter grouts and darker color thinset/mortar for darker color grout. Please ensure you follow the ditra instructions or the project may fail. What I provided in my videos will work fine. 3) I explained in my videos in either part 1 and part 2 how to handle spaces to the right and left of the risers. You either have to cut a small piece of tile and place it there or if the space is very small, less than 1/4", I used prefinished molding and finished nailed it to cover the space.

      Rob S hardie is harder to cut precisely which could be an issue in my case given I plan to use small mosaic. but I thought it is less work because we just screw them to the riser. No need to flatten the surface. Also attaching sites require wait time for the thinset to cure. Just curious, how much time total to remodel this staircase? Thanks for the video.

    • @shannon3228
      @shannon3228 6 лет назад

      daddybear236 A total of 18 days. My stairway has 17 steps. Once you receive the orders and its confirmed good including all tiles, the following is what I remembered. Treads. 1) cut tongues off, cut-glue-nail new treads takes one day, 2) patch space between riser and old tread to create flat solid surface for tiles takes 1 day, 3) proper adhesive takes 2 - 3 days to dry before traffic Tiling. 1) Cutting ditra to size and thinsetting them into place takes one day, 2) The thinset needs to dry without any traffic on the stairs for at least 72 hours otherwise you could crack it. Stairs are very flexible so you don’t want to take a chance, 3) cut and thinset tiles into place takes one day, 4) the thinset takes 72 hours or 3 days to dry before traffic, 5) grouting takes one day, 6) grout takes between 1 and 3 days to dry depending on product, 7) caulk top of tiles with same color of grout and molding takes another day

    • @shannon3228
      @shannon3228 6 лет назад

      Ana:We used 6x6 hand painted tiles. Here is more information. Talavera Tiles from La Fuente. Search La Fuente on the web. We found that they have the largest selection of hand painted tiles. The only problem we had was their shipping. Sometimes their packers do not wrap the tiles well. Many arrived cracked. So we call them and complained. The second time, they ensured the tiles were wrapped well and none cracked during shipping. 8x8 will not fit most stair risers because its too large however your situation may be different. Follow the steps I outlined and you can't go wrong. I recommend that you order one tile per design and hold them in place at one of your stair riser to ensure you have the right size. Lean one tile against one riser per step and stand back to look at them. Trust me, you will be surprised which ones you decide you want versus not. Its all in the lighting, wall paint color, railing color, stair color, etc...that will help determine what color and style tile you want and/or end up with. You have to view Part one and two of my videos to get the full picture of what I did and why. I hope this helped. Let me know if you have further questions. BTW our stairs are going strong. No cracks and I don't think they will occur.
