I set my windows and trim the exact same way. Only thing I do differently, is I tile the sills first from wall to wall just to make that water seal that little more tighter. I set the top reveal first too, then the sides, just to give the top reveal a bit more support from the sides whilst drying back.
Awesome, Great feedback! It's always good to know what you guys like. As when making a video I have to cut a lot out. So I'll keep note of that to keep a lot more explanations in.
Great video , like the setting out explanation, something else to consider when doing a room with windows /niche , who thought you originally how to tile 😀
Glad you liked it mate! I started out labouring for a local tile company, We used to do a lot of site work back in the day. So it gave me the opportunity to get on the tools. I was with them for about 6 years, Then I've just been my own boss for about 14 years now! 👴🏻
Hi mate, if u have a bathroom with bare joists, can I backer board straight onto the joists ensuring good enough fixings and that the studs are close enough, rather than say having to plaster board then backer board?
Hey mate, Yes.. That's exactly how most of our bathrooms are formed. Just make sure the joists are good and add extra noggings for extra fixings or a Niche if needed. I'd recommend 12mm backer board if you can.
I came across your videos researching modern techniques, the last time I tiled it was using a batton (like I was shown by a bathroom fitter years ago, my Dad!) Ive watched almost every video of yours in 2 days and they're all brilliant, straight to the point, very informative and like any good craftman you make it look so easy and effortless. I've liked every video and subscribed. Please keep posting. Quick question, would you ever use decoupling membrane on top of tile backer boards when over boarding bathroom floorboards? Thankyou for your videos
Thanks Richard, Glad you like them and really kind words! I also got taught from an older professional when I was young, Probably in similar ways.. You can't beat wise heads to show you the ropes! But yeah, Methods and techniques are ever changing but the fundamentals are the same. Regards membrane on backerboard, It really is just a judgement call on how you feel the floor is. If it feels like it's got a fair bit of spring and bounce, Then it's probably worth matting it just to extra cover yourself. But I'd say out of all the bathrooms we've done over the years on floorboards, Only about 10% have had backerboard and an uncoupling matt. For bigger floors, I'd probably recommend it, Just as you really want to be covered with something that size. For example. A big floor that I'm currently working on has underfloor heating boards, followed by backer board, followed by Ditra matt. So it's really belt and braces, But obvs quite a cost with all that to. But hope that helps a bit mate!
@@thebespokebloke Thanks for the reply and the help! I like the way you show up in your casuals and pumps like you're on your jollies and then absolutely nail everything, great work pal.
Do you leave a gap for grout between the trim and the tile? It looked like you pushed the trim right down on the tile. Not saying it’s wrong to do that, just interested. Thanks.
Regards trim.. Used to do them a lot in the old days.. But these days with the designers, Unless there's a need for it they try to avoid them.. With tiles I like them, With the right tile/set out and look.. I think that look great!
@@thebespokebloke How much more difficult is mitred edges to do as a tile installer versus just using trim? If we say with standard trim it is 5/10 on a difficulty scale for comparison sake. What would a mitred and epoxy seamless edge be?
Thanks mate, Yeah I tried to just grind one side and snap the rest in the tile cutter, But it wasn't having it, So I took it back to angle grind it all out, ha. I'm using the Bihui B-Magic Diamond Cutting Blades atm. They seem pretty good, Same as the Rubi Red Porcelain (which I'd normally use)
Another great job 👍 When you do the grouting do you grout the corners where the walls meet each other or do you silicone them ? Ceiling to walls also ? TIA
Thanks man, Generally they all get siliconed. (I will sometimes grout a gap is a bit big, So the silicon man doesn't have a go at me lol) With the ceilings, I find myself grouting more of them these days, Then leave it to the silicon man if he wants to go over them. But deffo the internal joints, it's best to leave for silicon.
@@thebespokebloke😂 I don’t know if it’s some kind of private joke or something dude but marinate is totally the wrong word. I think you mean ‘marry up’ . Love your videos man but please stop saying marinate

Great video, super clean and informative. Youve helped me a lot!
Awesome thanks!
I can't believe how much work tiling is!!
These days it's a bit more involved for sure, ha .. The old days were a bit more straight forward with small tiles, Mostly ceramic e.t.c
I set my windows and trim the exact same way. Only thing I do differently, is I tile the sills first from wall to wall just to make that water seal that little more tighter. I set the top reveal first too, then the sides, just to give the top reveal a bit more support from the sides whilst drying back.
Nice mate 👌
Great video again really like your explanation of why and how you plan your setting out

what is that tool you used to support the tiles at the top of the window? It's really nice, seems supper fast to use.
Hey, It's linked in the description.. They are mini acro stands. Very handy for sure!

Hey mate, Yeah I just generally push it down as you'll always get a slight gap for grout anyway, normally 1-2mm just with how the trim sits.
@@thebespokebloke Thanks!
Thoughts on Mitred tile edges?

the porcelein "L shaped" tile under the window sill was cut with angle grinder with what blade? or? amazing job by the way!

Do you eever mitre your tiles? Love your vidoes btw
Awesome, Glad you like them! Yeah I do unfortunately, I've just been lucky that I haven't had many lately lol
Great video, but what do you mean by “marinate the trim”
Thanks man! Ha, I should explain that better.. Just in the terms of making sure it all matches up smoothly, with no edges sticking out etc
@@thebespokebloke😂 I don’t know if it’s some kind of private joke or something dude but marinate is totally the wrong word. I think you mean ‘marry up’ . Love your videos man but please stop saying marinate
@@jcph2249 Haha Sorry mate, It is a bad long running habit.. I'm going to try my best to not confuse tiles and food in the future 😂
