Entire installation of a Tile floor using Mapei Mapeigaurd UM and a Large format tile.
Mapegard UM is an uncoupling membrane, that can be used to waterproof a floor by applying Mapeguard ST sealing tape at the seams and at the floor to wall junction. In this video I explain how this tile underlayment works and how to install it on a plywood subfloor. A polymer modified thinset is used to install the uncoupling membrane to the plywood, the thinset must meet ANSI A 118.11 standards, Mapei Ultraflex 2 is such a thinset and is the one I used in this application. The tile installed on the mat was a large format tile, so I used Mapei Ultraflex LFT as my Mortar. In my opinion, an uncoupling membrane like Mapegard UM is far superior to a cement backer board, which has none of the benefits that Mapegaurd provides such as lightweight, waterproofing and vapor pressure-equalizing as well as crack suppression. It can also be installed on Young concrete and single-layer 3/4" plywood subfloors with joist spacing of up
to 19.2". The design incorporates a surface mesh which is heat welded to the mat, which in conjunction with the cavity design of the mat, makes it easy to fill. All tile installed by Sal DiBlasi, Elite-tile Company, in the Boston North Shore area.

The more I watch this dudes videos in preparation for my DIY, the more I just want him to do it
Ha, I know. Was thinking, is it crazy to fly him out to LA?
The best indication of a craftsman's skill is when he can make a difficult job appear easy. You seem to do that in every one of your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill with all of us.
Wow, thanks!
Sal you are a hard working man. You are appreciated and admired.
I appreciate that
Sal, you are the man when it comes to tile installation.
Thanks for watching my video.
Great job Sal.
Thanks for watching my video.
Nice job 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Beautiful, Beautiful like always 💯👍.
Thanks again!
I had a house fire and I'm showing my contractor your tile videos. If they can't or won't do the work exactly like your videos, they are not gonna tile my floors !!!!!!!!!!
Keep in mind there’s a lot of good tile guys/gals out there and they all don’t work exactly the same. They may choose to use different underpayment, thinset, tile levelers, etc....
If they want to use some other system, just be sure they adhere to TCNA and manufacturer recommendations.
@@SalDiBlasi thanks. Will do
Love the music Sal as always on your time lapse
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video Sal!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Sal love the videos I am putting tile in my bathrooms that currently have linoleum, I decided to use an uncoupling mat (custom’s redguard uncoupling mat) and my question is can it go over linoleum if I clean and sand it to make it rough? In one room I peeled off the linoleum and the backing is so hard to get off I was wondering if I can at least lay the mat over that as long as I sand it?
Not sure about the custom product, but you can go over linoleum with Schluter ditra if you install it with a fast setting mortar and the linoleum meets all other requirements, like being a single layer, not being a cushion back, being well adhered, not being a perimeter glue etc. I would however still advise removing it. If the vinyl is very old, sanding can be a problem as it may contain Asbestos, anything predating about 1985 may contain it.
Hi Sal. I am just getting into the tiling part of bathrooms and really enjoy your videos from over the pond. Could I use a decoupling membrane on some MR MDF to tile onto for a concealed cupboard door do you think. The wife wants built in cupboards in the walls but she wants them hidden. Looked every where and cannot find anything that would work. Regards Lee
MDF is not a substrate made for tile.
@@SalDiBlasi yeah, I thought not. I am just trying to think of something that is that will take a hinge, hold the weight and is suitable for tile. It doesn't seem like making a cupboard door that is tiled is possible.
Thanks for the reply Sal
Hey Sal, thanks for last night.
Hey Sal, great videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them and pass on the knowledge. Why do you prefer the mapegard to Ditra?
Actually I don't, I just like to switch between them, either works perfectly fine.
Sal, i love your videos. Do you prefer to set a certain part of a floor one day and then come back the next day to wrap it up? I’m new to the tile industry as an installer myself, I’ve been a helper before and run a contracting business. We’re starting to specialize in our installs with schluters products and all. Just wanted to see if you saw benefit in doing that for the floors. I love the attention to detail you have.
Can't go by me, I never rush anything these days, I take my time, however if I can get it done in a day without killing myself, I will. Plan the floor out to give the best layout and then do as much as you can without compromising the quality. Some floors, just by the layout of the area, will not lend themselves to a one day install, like this one.
Sal DiBlasi man Im coming to realize at this point that time is not a factor for my company anymore. I’d rather take the time for it to be right than for me to rush and try to make a quick buck. Reputation and quality is everything
Great video, thanks. Can you immediately lay tile over the uncoupling membrane or does it have to set, dry first?
You can
Great video sal, always happy when you use a product I use too. Far prefer the mapeiguard to ditra. Speaking of Ultraflex LFT (in the description) do you know it’s benefit over LHT? Local Floor and Decor has LHT for $8 less a bag, but hard to tell how they differ.
Cool music too, sal in the house mixing the beatz 🙌
Look at the spec sheets for both, usually it is in the bond strength and sheer strength. The will always meet the standard that applies to them, but a cheaper product will usually have a lesser value than the higher priced product.
Sal DiBlasi Will do, if the numbers are close, for a typical shower or floor I can’t see a benefit in getting a little more bond strength since both numbers tend to be high enough.
Sal, what is the manufacturer of your weighted roller for the uncoupling membrane?
amzn.to/309FAef worth every penny.
@@SalDiBlasi your awesome sir! I am 52 and just want to do the best I can and be that guy! You personally have helped me reach to a higher level. I even been giving my supplier an ear full, just cause they do it here like that doesn't make it right way to install.
Good job , where can I find that drill mixer and what brand is it , thanks any information
amzn.to/2RX29hj
how many inches is that bucket trowel at 6:00?
Hi Sal, I love your videos, but I have noticed that you do a lot of tile jobs on plywood. I am going to do a tile job on concrete. Do you have any videos of tile on an uncoupling membrane over concrete? Thanks!

Sal I still use a wood cement float to rub the membrane into the mud but always notices how much time that roller would save me. It looks like you are using a 50pound roller plus a bag of thinset witch made me think that would come close to a 100 pound roller. I have a 100 pounder that I use for gluedown carpet and all sheet goods as well I would like to start using my 100 to save time and I am 54 so anything to make things easier-quicker is always welcome. Sal would you use a 100 pounder if you had it? Starting a 1200 sq this morning and want to try it out but always a little scared when I try something new lol
It is a schluter roller, The roller itself is very light, the weight comes from the bag of thinset. 100 pound roller is not recommended for uncoupling mats, too heavy.
@@SalDiBlasi Yes I thought so. Thank you so much Sal. I was not trained in tile I am a sheet goods-carpet installer been doing tile for 25 years but without guys like yourself I would not be at the level I am now. Much respect and gratitude. I use the same Mapei thinset products here in Canada but I follow the mixing instructions on the bag just as you do but my mud is always stiffer than yours appears to be so I will generally ad a very bit more water would you also advise against doing that? Thank you for a the inspiration and knowledge you share. So very grateful Sal.
@@iamcanadian7559 A bit more water will not hurt, however the kind of mixing paddle and the speed of the drill will have a big impact on the mix. That is why I use a mixer designed to mix thinset.
@@SalDiBlasi Thank you Sal for the information and taking the time out your day to give advise. I set a reminder for morning to check out your video before work. Awesome way to start the day. Peace from The Great White North eh
Hello Sal, I will be tiling a 150 square meter kitchen floor with 3 pillars in on section. The screed is liquid pump.
Would you recommend using a uncoupling membrane to help with the expansion?
Thanks,
Ben
If it were my floor, I would.
@@SalDiBlasi thank you 👍
Great video as always Sal. Two questions for you, if you don’t mind. I see you start off straight and square by laying the first row of tiles against a screed bar that is held in place by boxes of tiles. How do you get the clips under that first row of tiles, on the side that was against the screed bar? Do you do that with the oscillating tool, after the thinset dries? For 12”x24” tiles, how many clips do you use per tile? It’s a little difficult to see with the time lapse video. Thanks as always for your help.
Once the tile is in place, move the straight edge away from the tile, insert the clips while the mortar is still fresh. Often times you will continue your tile the same day from that row of tiles. At the end of the day, with the clips inserted move the straight edge back against the clips to hold them in place. Next day move the straight edge and start tiling.
Sal DiBlasi Thanks so much Sal. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I am getting ready to tile my kitchen floor and with the help of your videos and you answering my questions, I am confident the job will turn out well.
😊👍
Sal, great video - thank you! I saw that you placed spacers between the hardwood and the transition. Is that a preference or another reason. I am redoing my foyer and powder room and will face the situation. Can I place transition right against the wood?
Also, your thoughts on using the hardwood as a reference line and dress off that as opposed to walls? Since your sight lands there first. Thanks for the time!

@@SalDiBlasi Thanks Sal. This helps!
I used a home depot tile leveling system and if I try to walk on it, it just lets tiles get uneven. How are you able to work on freshly tiled floor without knocking them out of level?
Not working on freshly tied floor. It is the next day.
@@SalDiBlasi Ok - I was watching some commercial tile installation video and they suggested walking on it to help bond it. Thought you used the same technique.
Does anyone know where he's located?
