Large format wood look plank tile Installed on Ditra uncoupling membrane. In this video I go through the process of installing a large 8"x48" plank tile. When installing these large long tiles, it is best to use a leveling system to reduce, or even eliminate lippage, the leveling, or lippage system, as some like to call it, makes it much easier to install a lippiage free tile floor. I also show some of the tools I use and how to mark and cut the tile. Large format tiles are not an easy install, so it best to take it slow and get everything right, checking as you go to be sure the tile has sufficient mortar coverage when it is set, back buttering the tile will help achieve the proper coverage and transfer of the mortar.

Thank you for running the flooring under the cabinetry like it is supposed to be.
Thanks so much! My husband and I are just about to tile our entire house with a similar-looking tile. It was very helpful to watch you work.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Julie how did yalls tile job come out?
@@Azdude801 It’s a nightmare! lol.
Nice job, Sal. You need to talk those clients into replacing the hydronic baseboard covers 😁 Especially in a bathroom those get rusty and gross. It'll match with the brand new tile!
Great job and i really enjoy the way you explain specially for people who are not good in english thank you
I don’t know what hurts more just watching you, my back or my knees. Nice work as always.
😊👍
Very nice Plank tile installation of the bathroom.
Another great job man. I’d love to hire you to do my whole house, but I’m a country away in Toronto, Canada. Thanks to these videos though, I get to enjoy all the nice work you do from afar.
Great job once again
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great job! And I Love such tile choice and design! 🙂👍🏻
Thank you! 😊
You establish the gap with horse shoe spacers and use the 1/16 latch pieces to stop lippage. Probably makes it really easy to remove the latch pieces.
Sal all of your work is SO impressive! That plank tile is cool. Only thing is I find that keeping grout lines clean is very annoying work!
Keeping the grout lines clear is always a struggle.
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Sal!
My pleasure!
I am so lucky to have a rectangular bathroom with only a few compound cuts.
Guess I’m old fashioned but I always work with a couple of levels to insure level and flatness. A lot of guys roll with the subfloor because of leveling clips
At 40 years installing I am quite old fashioned, however the use of large format tiles is a relatively recent development. You didn't need leveling clips 10 years ago because smaller tiles were always pretty flat, even the cheap ones, today long tiles have a bow in them because of the firing process, good quality tiles are still pretty good, but cheap tiles can have quite the curve to them. ruclips.net/video/u3_-VKGNCQY/видео.html
@@SalDiBlasi I completely understand why clip’s are used. Comment wasn’t directed to you personally. I see a lot of floors go bad often. When they do it’s usually installed by someone who didn’t come up in the trade but relies heavily on leveling systems. Clips are good but in my area it’s brought guys out to install tile that don’t know how to properly set tile.
Very nice job.
Well done.
Thanks
Want that exact tile, would you be so kind as to give the info on the specific tile.
Beautiful work 🙏🏼
Edit! We don't need to see everything in real time. Otherwise, good info. Thanks.
Hi Sal
When installing large 24'x24' tile, would using 1/4 inch trowel to spread thinset lines on the floor substrate floor and 1/4 thinset lines back buttered on the tile equal using a 1/2 inch trowel ?
I would like to replace all of the laminated flooring in the upstairs of one of my homes, just worried about the weight aspect of things.
Beautiful!
Another great video. Question I have is why he use of the blue horse shoe spacers when you are already using the lippage system spacers? I understand their use along the tub edge but not for the other areas. Thank you
On a large area using level system along with long timber effect tile is it better to use fast set or slow adhesive?
Been watching your videos for years! Finally have enough guts to do my own tile job. Of course, my wife choses plank tile, and BIG plank tile at that - 8"x48". Curious how you do a random pattern. Ive seen you do it in previous videos but could never tell exactly how it is done. Do you just cut the first tile in a course to a random length (Im guessing no more than 33% cut off the tile), then full tiles for the rest of the course? Then use the cut off from this course to start the next. That's what I was thinking about doing, but was worried it would result in too much waste. Love all your work and the fact that you post these videos....they are very helpful to the tile-guy-wannabes like me!
You can start with any size piece that results in a decent size cut on the opposite wall, then use the cutoff to start the next row as long as the stagger is not too close to the last few rows and the opposite wall ends up ok. Very little waste when it is done this way. Always keep in mind how the opposite wall ends up as far as cuts go.
@@SalDiBlasi Excellent, thank you for the quick reply! I will make sure to "map out" both ends. Was so concerned with how to start I wasnt thinking how it would look at the other end.
👍👍😊
Sal - great work and a long overdue Thank You for all the great knowledge and experience you share! Question: which brand is that 3 inch blade you use on the angle grinder? Is it on your Amazon store? I couldn’t find it there
amzn.to/3yIPTEO
@@SalDiBlasi order placed. Thanks!
NICE!
Are there some cases where you don't dry fit?
Hey Sal good job,where do u get those blades for ur grinder,and are 2-3 inch around?.Thank you.
You're awesome Sal!! Is that a random offset?
yes
Nice job but i dont see a thresh hold ?
what tile was it? from where?
How long do you wait after the Ditra is down before you start laying tile?
Hi Sal. Been a huge fan for a while- you’ve helped so much.
I have a question that I haven’t been able to get a satisfactory answer for just yet.
What’s the best tool to cut large format tiles lengthwise? I have to cut a 8” x 68” tile lengthwise.
What tool would you use?
Not a lot of options for that size, They do make snap cutters and wet saws that will handle those long tiles, but they cost a lot. So there is the tradition approach, you could use an angle grinder with a dry cutting blade, but they are not veryaccurate, They have hand held wet saws that will work, or you can get the IQ saw I used for many long tiles amzn.to/3HVsCqh If you are going to be installing these very long tiles, you are going to have to invest in some expensive tools.
@@SalDiBlasi Thanks Sal. That looks like a great option that I just might buy. I’ve been able to get great results on my first bathroom thanks in large part to your videos. Great work.
Thank you for the video. You said at 10:38 that you used 5/8" by 1/2" trowel. I can't seem to find this size trowel in any store. Did you use a different size? I'll be installing same tile size over uncoupling membrane. Thanks a lot!
You can tell from looking at it he misspoke..
Hi Sal. Just curious about all the areas on the Ditra that are already filled with thinset but yet you haven't started the floor tile yet. I'm thinking that you fill theses areas with unused thinset left over from installing the Ditra or possibly when you're tiling the walls or floors in other rooms? You know, whatever is left over from a batch to put up a few rows of wall tiles, or do a few rows of floor tiles elsewhere then spread it here so as to not waste it (as long as it's compatible thinset)? True or Not?
true
What size and type of notch trowel are you using?
Can polished engineered marble door threshold from Homedepot be used for a shower curb???
Sure, but you will need to polish the edges.
I enjoy alot your videos! quick question. Are you using modified thinnest on Ditra membrane to install porcelain tile? thanks
Yes I am
@@SalDiBlasi , Thank You for your quick respond. Im following your guidelines and advise to finish my bathroom project. I learned alot! I will purchase your youtube products as a way to return the favor. Thank You again.
Hi Sal. I don't think you mentioned why you went with a 1/16 grout line. I'm getting ready to do my bathroom in wood plank tile, but almost all recommendations are for 1/8" grout lines. Any thoughts?
ruclips.net/video/1CGgMTJsqGI/видео.html
@@SalDiBlasi Thank you. Excellent info.
Do you ever lay tile underneath the toilet flange, if you can? What are pros/cons?
Toilet flange should always go on top of the tile, make it so the flange just sits over the tile by about 1/4
@@SalDiBlasigreat videos. When you say "sits over the tile by 1/4". Do you mean it sits on top of the tile with only a 1/4" overlap? Why not make the opening in the tile smaller so more of the flange sits on the tile? I am only asking to understand... You are the expert! I would think that I should install my tile closer to the pipe. Thanks.
Nice beard, Sal. Very distinguished. 😉
Thank you kindly
Wow what a great job. Quick question when you knock the ridge down before you place tile down next to an already installed tile. Looks like its done to reduce the amount of thinset at grout lines. Does doing this affect the goal of achieving 100 % coverage?
Thanks Sal
Required coverage on this type of install is 80%, but 100% is better. Knocking down the ridges at the edges does not compromise cover a ge, you will find that you will still get some squeeze through in the joints in some places.
Thanks for the reply. One last question. Im installing 18x18 Calcutta Gold floor tile. The tile has some dark veins do you perfer doing a random pattern or try and get the veins to run in same direction ? I like the random look but the wife is up in the air.
Thanks
@@hodesto Natural stone is a different animal, you need a stiffer floor, L/720, double lauer of plywood and 95% coverage. Always use white thinset and sesl the tile before grouting. Lots more to know. As far as esthetics, what you like or your customer wants.
What notch trowel did you use
I’d use a half inch
What tile cutter are you using? Ty
Looks like a sigma. But rubi tile cutters are better in my opinion
Better hire a carpenter to change all the casings there an inch short!
It was changed
Hi sal you know we’re i can fine one cut like your ?
Get a sigma one,that's the best hand cutters out there.
@@elcoyotecojodeldesierto2300 disagree. Rubi cutters are better
I never is my clip tool
Stakker commented first
🤘😎🤘🇬🇧
My sigma cuter is way smoother
Been thinking about a iq saw
Thanks for another great video.
When you float walls, assuming your fixing smaller imperfections 1/4 or less, do you just use thinset or something else. If it's over 1/4, what do you use?
I use thinset. Let it dry. Then tile. If it’s greater than 1/4” I normally would have caught it before applying the DUROCK, but if not, I’d still use thinset.
@@zimpler8340 thanks...I do the same but just wanted to know what others use or if there are other approved methods.
