I appreciate seeing you wipe the floor down before thinsetting the Ditra. Little things like that always makes a difference. Just like I always etch polished/finished concrete with sulfamic acid after I pop my grid and spray down with clear coat. Maybe one day I can come up or you could come to Bama and we work on an install. I worked with Bath Fitter for a few years and they turned me into a national installer. They would fly me all over the US. Brockton was where they were located, but I spent all week driving to different cities working. I love it up there this time of the year. I started working in tile and stone when I was 8 yrs old, helping my granddad and dad. I will be 45 yrs old this November. I appreciate what you do and again I appreciate seeing people do the lil things right.
I think I learned something important today looking at this video Sal. I'm about to start a 6x24" porcelain wood look in my bathroom and doing it in 2 days. I have split the room in half with a board like you did and it's screwed down. i was going to simply start laying right against there but I noticed that you have clips in those "ending rows" ready to go for the next day. I'm not sure I've heard you speak of this before (perhaps a video on leaving the job prepped for another day would be excellent if you don't already have one). I, stupidly, never noticed that without leaving those clips for the next day's rows, you wouldn't actually be able to slide them under and would have to eyeball that next day's rows to match the day before. Thanks very much for all of these videos, it's been invaluable to me in my current reno.
Love your improvised roller! I recently got one of those garden rollers that you can fill with sand or water for sticking down ditra. Works a treat although my clients give me funny looks!
I caught that too, brilliant. I still,use backerboard but because of Sal just bought a very expensive roll of orange stuff, I was also looking at some make shift sponge for the grout
your amazing sal, really...I know its your profession...but the energy this requires is baffling...👍🏼👍🏼 ive done work on my home and i feel like i lost the fight with a baseball bat...your amazing
I have plenty of those on my channel, almost 700 videos of pretty much everything that has to do with tile. I usually do these sped up versions right after the install and then follow up with real time installs explaining what is going on. Look at my playlists, projects done from start to finish with explanation and demonstrations included.
Great videos. Can you do a video explaining the process of checking a large floor for flatness and how you have to compensate if it has humps or dips. Thanks for all the videos
Hello Sal. We are going to replace carpeting in 2 bedrooms and den with porcelain wood plank tile. The installer asked us which way we want the tile to run, north & south or east/west? One installer said usually its always north/south but the other installer said he would install it east/west because we have a nice water view in the master bedroom. I want to make the right decision. Can you please advise. Thank you.
I'm installing plank tile over Ditra iv left 1/4 inch away from wall , there's no basement boards on , when Install baseboards do I leave a 1/8 spacer under baseboard then after its nailed in remove spacer and use printable silicone to allow movement ?
Another great video Sal. Its always interesting to see the latest trends in home decor in your videos. Those people spent some serious bucks on that renovation.
Sal you are the best installer I’ve ever known of. You are my go to guy and I watched this one to see if you line your end joints up and I’m glad to see that you don’t I don’t either but when I was watching I noticed something. Aren’t you combing your trowel lines the wrong way for air to release
If you watch the video you will see I do it both ways, depends on the situation, it is best to go the short way, but sometimes that can be difficult, so the important thing is to get the correct coverage, which you determine by periodically pulling up a tile and check.
Sal DiBlasi I’m just busting your chops man. I’ve watched and critiqued many of your videos and this is the first thing I’ve actually seen that I could have an “ah ha I caught you” kinda moment on but you’re right as long as you’re getting complete coverage it don’t matter how you comb them
Sal DiBlasi everybody else just grovels at your feet, and for good reason. I figure you need somebody to mess with you from time to time. We all know how good you are. Love your latest post. Did the exact same tile but 24x24 not long ago.
How are you wiping the floor after grout without waiting. Mine only smears everywhere and becomes quite frustrating. Actually still laying in bed because my knee is so sore from grouting yesterday. Figured I better get up and motivated so turned your videos on…
You are really the master tiles installer look really nice. That is very big job to me. I wonder how long it takes you to complete the job like this????
Do you ever install LVT or LVP over Ditra-Heat? Would like to do just that but do not know if it could be done. I believe it is obvious it can not be the click and lock type and just purchased a Shaw Floorte Pro LVP (SPC). I really would like the Ditra elec radiant heat. Is this impossible? Thanks, love your educational video's and would not trust anyone else. Well that is not true, I also trust one other and that is Tile Coach.
With woodlook tiles how do you get the lay out as in they are not laid same size throughout floor they seem stacked different?? Hope i asked question with no confusion🤔😬
If I want to install this onto the drywall to create a baseboard, do I just cut the tiles and use unmodified thinset and directly apply to the drywall? or should I put kerdi bands/schluter onto the drywall? If you can advice that would be great. Thanks.
Hi Sal. Have you ever used a 4 and a half inch hand held wet saw to rip plank tiles? I got plank tile job coming up but haven't had the extra cash to get a big wet saw just yet.
I have, and I have also use a grinder with a diamond dry cutting blade, but only in a pinch for small jobs when I didn't want to set up my saw. Best to use a wet saw for cuts.
Sal, a bit of a logistics question for you: what do you do with excess mud at the end of the day? I normally put a plastic bag down with some paper towels and dump it on there to cure up and throw out as i like to try to reuse buckets. What do you do?
With ditra you can use it to fill the waffles so no waste. Otherwise put it in a box or find some place to let it harden. Usually small amounts when I know I am getting close to the end of the day I don't mix more than I need.
Do I see white paint on the new floor!? Anyways...can u explain the expansion joint? I mean if the contractor puts quarter round on the floor would that let it move? You said u liked the baseboards being up, is that for the other 1/2" of movement? I sound confusing...would u not caulk if you had base and qrt rd ( 1 1/14), or have to caulk because you dont have that much room with baseboards being down?
Quarter round is a good move, no one wants it in my area, very rare. so I like the base off so I can leave a gap at the wall and then it gets covered with the base, quarter round does the same thing. No need to caulk it if it is covered, kind of pointless to do that.
Sal DiBlasi agreed. Kinda surprised not many use quarter round in your area, it seems like a very upscale thing and the showers you do are extremely upscale and top notch. Again....very good work man
Hi Sal, I just did my first job with leveling system clips on a 24 x 48in tile with a one third brick joint. I have used the clips once before but it was only for the odd tile here and there with a plank tile. One thing I noticed ( since i usually level the plane out on the floor) that the clips seemed to make tiles that were not on a straight plane even with the ones next to it in a way that seemed to do, what i deemed, the impossible. Do you find the clips can actually bend the tile to a small degree because that is what I have come to conclude. I'm shocked either way at what they can do with a massive tile with a brick joint....seems to defy the laws of level and plane.
Hey sall what size trowel did you use for that installation? Im using the same size porcelain tile and need to know what would be a good trowel size for that.
Hey Sal. I noticed that you flattened the combed lines near the edge of a tile you place down. Just curious what the purpose of that is? Thanks in advance!
@@SalDiBlasi how about a video on tile that goes through doorways - the transition area that is usually a separate 4 inch cut piece of wood sitting in the door frame and where you would normally put a wood or laminate transition piece. I’ve been putting the tile right up to it and not going into the next room then I cut some backsplash decorative type tile and lay it in the doorway usually a bedroom bathroom or laundry room that connects to a hallway I’ve just laid several large rooms of plank tile Allen & Roth wood French Gray doesn’t look like the picture so I haven’t been able to find anything to match it I’ve changed for the rest of the house to the natural wood but the transition areas are sitting bare waiting. This has made me want to just run the plank tile room to room I have 3 other very large houses to do and I hate having the “question” of what I’m going to do in that transition space and what is house moving safe
Hi Sal, Love your video's. At 32:12 if paused you'll see that the 33% running bond pattern is not maintained around the island. How do you decide when it's acceptable to switch from random to running bond?
Sal, a technical question if you dont mind. When tiling on Ditra matting, rather than filling squares up with adhesive as you tile, would applying a levelling compound with a spiked roller the day before be an acceptable alternative? I ask because I do prefer trowelling adhesive onto a smooth surface as opposed to the uneven Ditra. Thank you in advance Sal
When you apply leveler to a uncoupling, you defeat its purpose. Any leveler you apply gains the uncoupling ability and the tile loses it. If you want to prefill the mat simply use the same mortar you are using for the tile, the day before. Levelers always go down before uncoupling mats.
Sal I have a question. I'm planning on installing wood like tile in a house. When you open the entrance door you see the longest wall. Would you recommend installing the tile parallel to the longest wall or is the home owner decision? Also there is an island in the kitchen and it is an open kitchen. Would you recomend start the timing around the island to have complete tiles?
Definitely talk to the homeowner, tell him what your ideas are and let them decide. As long as you know what your cuts will be, you can tile around the island at any time.
Hey Sal, in Canada we tile over 2 layers of 5/8 plywood (that's the code here). No ditra. Do you use ditra over a single 5/8 plywood or do you also have 2 layers of plywood underneath ? Thanks !
There are several methods in the TCNA handbook for installing tile on plywood, and in the past i have done it many times, however there are much better options available today.
@@SalDiBlasi Not so Sal, says one of your followers that commented on one of your other video's that you are doing it incorrectly with this Ditra system. He was addiment about the failure of the Ditra system and he himself had to completely pull up 5 or more in only a short time because of failure. This is not how tile should be laid he says. It is put on the old fashion way without decoupling measures. Man he really laid it into you. And your comment to him was there is now better options for tilers now in the 21st Century. Thought maybe you'd give it right back to him but, being professional (as you always are) invited him to join you in group of 3000 members to help educate others. And then all I heard from him was " ". Silence! he never responded back. I remember cause even though I don't install tile I have watched hundreds of your video's. Only because it is entertaining and educational and you do it so well. My opinion, after watching you and others is you may be one of best tile installers in the business. Thank you.
Sal DiBlasi get yourself an electric caulking gun. At least you can resilicone when it fails very cheaply. but your tiling is nice to watch. Get yourself to the gym bud.
Pull a control line then do a quick dry layout ,then pull another chalk line and rock n roll! You’re killling yourself man! Work smarter not harder.. ditra = garbage 1/4 inch hardie backer and versabond thinset way better..
You have your beliefs all backward, if you knew how an uncoupling membrane works and how much better, easier and faster it is to install, and the benifits. A non force conductive underlayment V a force conductive one like ditra, no contest. Try to keep up with the industry and advancements, looks like you are getting left behind. As far as layout, way ahead of you.
I appreciate seeing you wipe the floor down before thinsetting the Ditra. Little things like that always makes a difference. Just like I always etch polished/finished concrete with sulfamic acid after I pop my grid and spray down with clear coat.

Can't imagine any amount of money being enough for that labor intense job! Especially from such a professional as you! You're incredible!

Black grout has to be every tilers favourite grout . Nice work 👍👍
It is actually Coffee, but really not bad on this install.
Wow! So much work
Nice work there Sal, one of my favorite tiles to lay, very popular these days👍🇦🇺
as the the GC i would have you come in before the base and cabinets placed,
top of the line work as usual
Only down side to that, is if you want to replace the tiles later, but yes, much easier for the tile installation.
I Love you man.
You're the best!
good job Sal DiBLasi!!!

It is a good sizw job, O never rush, and just make sure it is done right.
Question,do porcelain tile need time to acclimate to the ambient temperature of the job site prior to installation?
Do you ever install LVT or LVP over Ditra-Heat? Would like to do just that but do not know if it could be done.

Not my area of expertise, but I do believe you can use the Ditra heat under the LVT, contact Schluter to get the details.
At 21:28 you are measuring to align your placement board, did you already draw a line that we cannot see? What are you measuring to and from?
After to be perfect to connect going around the island.
Well done master
Are you just eyeballing the space or using the tlock for the preferred gap for grout
1/8 tlock
👍👍😊
With woodlook tiles how do you get the lay out as in they are not laid same size throughout floor they seem stacked different?? Hope i asked question with no confusion🤔😬
where did you buy the tile in this video? do they have a US distributor?
Sal at 20:330 when you are cutting under the counter do you cut the tile to meet the cabinet or leave any expansion space?
Always leave room for movement. If it gets covered with something like base, leave it empty, otherwise silicone.
Good job
If I want to install this onto the drywall to create a baseboard, do I just cut the tiles and use unmodified thinset and directly apply to the drywall? or should I put kerdi bands/schluter onto the drywall? If you can advice that would be great. Thanks.
On drywall I would use a modified thinset mortar.
31:0 what does the glass cleaner do? Remember when you quick speed the videos we don’t get to hear what you are explaining. Thanks
ruclips.net/video/ih1QwUDyXyI/видео.html
Awesome as always. Can’t you put quarter round to cover the edges?
If you are referring to where the tile meets the base board, then yes, in many parts of the country that is an option that is used extensivley.
When doing a zig zag movement joint with wood planks, how would you get a silicone like Latasil to best match a sanded grout texture?
Buy the manufacturers matching sealant, the will usually make both sanded and I sanded.
Can you recommend a specific brand/combo? Laticrete Latasil apparently only comes one way - unsanded.
