A beginner's guide to tiling. Intimidated by tiling? It might be more approachable than you think. More details and a full list of materials at thecreatedhome...
Oh wow, you are just so wonderful at demonstrating and explaining, and your pro tips are invaluable. I am starting tiling in my bathroom this week, and will be referring to your video for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise 😍
Being on a multi-month project in rebuilding my bath from the studs out- great job on hitting the main elements of the tile job for beginners or experts. I have found that back buttering and applying thinnest to the wall, and working it in, has given me the best complete coverage. You do have to plan for the additional build up, but the tile coverage has been the best with that method. layout can prevent major mistakes. I have often taken the tile and traced it on the walls to make sure I don't wind up with sliver cuts of under 2". Awesome job of illustrating major points of getting it right- the demo of cutting out the radius was great!
It is not at all recommended to only "back butter" the tile when applying it - this is a good way to ensure you have preventable issues down the road. Especially with floor tile you won't have even support beneath the tile and it will be far more likely to break. Mortar needs to be keyed into the substrate, then applied with the notched trowel - back buttering is an extra step done with the flat side of the trowel to provide additional guarantee the tile will make full contact with the mortar. Also should be moving the tile up and down the same distance as your notches are wide so you actually knock the mortar down and don't end up with air behind.
Also if you want it to last the most important step is prepping your floors, and wall with the correct products. Ie cement board, or membrane. Also making sure the floor is level & straight. Also when buttering a tile, the surface you place the tile on, also needs mortar, or you will not get the correct coverage.
Yeah that's way quicker at least for me if you got your pieces cuts and everything ready just throw it up on a wall , don't have to worry about buttering your fingers
That's what I do if it's a tricky area and you don't want it to dry then measure it out real quick and put the tile up wipe off the excess with your finger or whatever continue tiling.
That’s normal. It’s not suppose to feel good. Think in steps like walking. If something pops out of nowhere. Research and get back to work until the job is done.
Haven't seen that type of spacer before. Will look out for them. You should do corner tiles last - especially if your corner is not perfectly plumb/straight. You need to cut them to the angle of the corner.
I’m a tiler and I hate to sound horrible here but I’m afraid this is not at a standard where I personally could leave the customer or location like it I’m sorry I’m just being honest
Hi, how are you? My name is celio and I would love for you to help me join my RUclips channel and leave a like thank you all ruclips.net/video/8TT0BD1XHZE/видео.html
Cant really agree with your preference of a wet saw. They are pricier, make a huge mess and are actually good for smaller tiles. If you are tiling a tile of 120x60cm for example it will take you ages. As a normal diamond cutter has the job done in seconds. Furthermore you can just use an angle grinder with a diamond blade for the complicated parts.
Additionally do not groove the tile. You always do it to the wall. On the back of a tile you put a thin layer of mortar to cover the small dents that are prepared for that. (different for every manifacturer, usually diamond or wavy shaped).
It's all about attention to details on the first few rows. Make sure your ground is perfectly leve and the rest should follow suit. If you can afford $100 you can get a cheap laser level to really take things to the next level and make sure every row continues
I could be wrong. Not all Subway tiles or stackable but it looks like you're putting spacers on stackable tile I don't understand the concept of that but I could be wrong that could be rectified edge but they're beveled so they're not rectified I'm willing to bet they have a pre-manufacturer lug on them so why space them.
Furthermore don't forget that's ceramic tile so when you grout it you better know what you're doing cuz it'll suck the moisture out so fast and dry so quick you won't know what happened and don't overfill the route joints that's where most people make a mistake figure out should be below the bevel not even with it
4:42 Pls pls pls wear level 9 gloves if you want to do it yourself. Some of these tools are dangerous and you should be trained to use them or at least aware.

As a tile contractor. It’s very very inefficient and way messier if you butter the tile. Just butter the whole wall and slap them up
Or just use a notched trowel like a normal person lmao
Then you should advise the viewers to butter both surfaces.
Yeah that's way quicker at least for me if you got your pieces cuts and everything ready just throw it up on a wall , don't have to worry about buttering your fingers
@@daughterpema4064 true, it's harder to keep level, if you butter the wall

Great video. Simple and to the point.
Thanks for this video. I'm handy at DIY but tiling & plumbing, I try to avoid. Today, it catches up with me 😮
Whu r u
Excellent teaching skill ,beautiful job,I so scared to try,I have everything I need,except the courage to try😢😢😢😢😢

Thanks for this, now I'm looking forward to tiling the laundry wall instead of dreading it.

Hi great video. I was just wondering if you could please give us one advice or video on how to tile a washing machine? Thanks x
a washing machine?
Hi yes please. We intend to tile the dryer and dishwasher too
I tiled my windows the other day. 😁
The washing machine itself, or a place you are going to put it into? I didn't get it
@@chillbruh6691 hi yes the washing machine itself so it blends into the wall.
Such a helpful video. Thanks!
This video made me a bit too confident to try tiling myself :P
Nice job
i love how youtube put good content for first did amazing job today at self leveling now this :PPPP total beginner btw

Beautiful ❤️😍❤️❤️❤️❤️😍❤️😍❤️❤️❤️😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Better to butter back the tile and the wall, no doubts about the tile gripping the wall if you do that.
Really good video, whistling in the background audio was really irritating, I had to turn down the volume and put captions on.
I want that water cutting saw
So helpful thank you
You make it look so easy, but I've never been successful laying nice and neat rows.
It's all about attention to details on the first few rows. Make sure your ground is perfectly leve and the rest should follow suit. If you can afford $100 you can get a cheap laser level to really take things to the next level and make sure every row continues
So... you don't put motor on your backer board? Did you use backer board?
Thank you !
Hi does a tile stick on a phenolic plywood?
were these 4x12 subway tiles? if so did you run into any issues?
Where do you start?
I could be wrong. Not all Subway tiles or stackable but it looks like you're putting spacers on stackable tile I don't understand the concept of that but I could be wrong that could be rectified edge but they're beveled so they're not rectified I'm willing to bet they have a pre-manufacturer lug on them so why space them.

👍 THANKS
Also, a big boy tile saw with a rolling tray will pay for itself after the first few jobs
I neeeed the name of that song :) great video btw
ur attached website doesn't work :(
The insufficient answer starts at 3:44 and it's explained as if you have the tools of a professional
Thank you, now all I have to do is convince my husband I can do this. ☺️
You totally can! 👊
Material list on comments , tho
background music is too loud
The music is really annoying.
bad sound
4:42 Pls pls pls wear level 9 gloves if you want to do it yourself. Some of these tools are dangerous and you should be trained to use them or at least aware.
Chemical burns are painful
Never wear gloves while using rotary machines. Look it up.
Rule number 1: Do not start tiling if you come to youtube to check what type of equipment you need
Funny, I was taught that rule number one was “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.“
So never learn anything. Got it.
I’ve successfully learned how to do many things from RUclips videos! Watch enough of them and you’d be amazed what is possible!
Imagine having money to do this
hhhmm, you say your making the cuts @ 3.27 of the video but it's MAN HANDS ***
Good job lesbians, some of yal are more useful then males
