Looks good, always try to do the back wall first, that
way the side walls will aid in keeping the water out when they are
installed against the rear wall. also, you don't have to be "Dead on" when
cutting the back wall tiles.
2 Tips: Tip 1: For the bottom row of tile scribe cuts. Take the tile and place it on the wall with spacer between tub and tile, then flip the tile over (upside down) then trace the cut line on the back of the tile and make the cut. No need to take any measurements. Tip 2: tile back wall 1st all the way to both sides (leave small expansion gap) and tile side walls to the back wall. This will hide the grout line and if you have to make any custom cuts because of bad wall you can hide it.
You are correct the first thing I noticed that he didn't tilel the back wall first
This is the correct advice. Thanks.
Nice job Zack
I also do remodeling and thanks to your vid I throw my self on this type of project . It is my first time, first project and hopefully I get er done the right way.. wish me luck
spelled hack wrong
Im getting ready to do my shower. I decided on 12 x 24 as well. Issue here is tile company recommended 3/16 grout lines but I don’t like that. What size lines are those? I’m a bit worried if I got 1/16 and something comes off 😂 I’ll be using the self leveling system as well and it’s non rectified. 🤷🏽♂️
Hi,
I have been wondering if it looks OK to install 12" x 24" in a 33"x34" shower. It seems yours is lf similar dimensions. I had the impression the tiles were too large for a small shower room, but they look good in your video. What do you think?
What are the dimensions of the shower. Can you put these 12 by 24 in a shower that has a measurement of 47 in on the back wall and 31 on the short walls
Very decent job slow and fiddly but far better than any so called pros would do... Usually they're just fast and furious but result is absolutely awful.
Did you ever do a follow up video of the finished project? Couldn't find it and would love to see it.
Ah! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a follow up video. The cottage sold a bit unexpectedly and I was out of the province at the time and couldn’t get up in time :(
Just 13 likes.wtf it was a great job
Thanks! Appreciate it, takes a lot of time and effort to film and record :)
Not great just ok for a amateur
@@garyindiana8037Similar to your grammar.
What waterproof membrane or shield did you use ?
This product was Alino, at the time, sold at Home Depot
Nice. How did you figure out the offset pattern?
I decided a staggered pattern half lapped, another option would have been 1/3rd overlap or no overlap, really up the you or the client!
HI Zack, thank you for the video, how much does it cost of bathroom remodel?
Great question! It can vary a lot, depending on everything from extent of remodel to finishes used. From $5,000 to $30,000 easily. This one was around $8,000
Hi!
How much thick adhesive bed under the tile 12 by 24 in.?
Hi!
Depends on the trowel size, but typically around 1/4”
How long do you need to let 12x24 tiles setup before grouting?
Depends on the thinset! But typically I give it 2 nights / or 24 hours
What's the reason you are no longer using red guard like your prior videos ?
Huge thanks for posting too!!
Hey Stephen, good question! Often it comes down to what the home owner wants. I’m comfortable using each method, and both back their product up, so it can come down to a time sensitive issues, cost, etc.
Thanks for checking out my videos!
I thought standard practice was to do the back shower wall first then the smaller side walls?
Is the tile porcelain? How thick is the tile? I am getting ready to tile my shower wall. I need ideas.
This was porcelain, if I remember correctly, and it was 3/8” thick I believe.
Certainly a lot of options, good luck in whatever you decide!
@@zackcrafted i already have my tile. Its 12 x 24" porcelain. I wanted to cut it down some so it would be easier to work with. This tile is very hard to cut. You really did a great job on your shower.
Ask! If 1 tile is slightly lower than the next and you use the leveling system, you raise one tile to level it, if so don't you lose contact with the tile adhesive???
Good question! There is lots of suction, so while the tile will lose some contact, correcting the tile and making it even with another tile, within reason, shouldn’t cause complete loss of contact. There’s enough suction from the adhesive to pull some of the adhesive up with the tile, bridging any gaps. Then, once it’s dry, it’s good to go
@@zackcrafted Thank you for your explanation, does this also apply to floor tiles? Or is that point weaker than the rest of the tile?
I would think that it would technically be weaker then not having self levelling clips.
But the manufactures stand by their products so they must work well! @@oldhippie8774
DOn't overtighten with the tool.
Is it a bad idea to use premixed adhesive mortar? I bought a brand called TEC
Hi Juan, I have used premixed stuff before, it works good! Just gotta make sure the substrate is compatible with the adhesive and use the right trowel size
Good luck!
How long did it take you to complete the shower wall tiles? And how many bags of mud did you use?
I tiled it in a day and a half, but could be done in a day!
I think I went through 3 bags of mortar, but depends on the size of trowel you use and of course the size of area
Looks good. Doing same size tile. Did you offset your tile by half or thirds? Look like cut in half by just checking? Thx
Hey! Yep, did it in half’s
Good luck with yours!
@@zackcrafted sounds good. Thanks
Question : What is the depth of your edging trim?
hey great question, I can't remember what the tile thickness was for this job, best bet is to match up the tile edging with the tile at the store. I personally like using something thats 1/8th bigger, this allows for thinnest behind the tile where the trim metal flange is.
@@zackcrafted Thank you so much.
Did you really?
Thought this was good advice? Everyone the does tile knows you start with the big back wall.
Ya you can, doesn’t really matter, I switch it up depending on layout, sometimes I like having an extra 1/4 of play on my short walls, knowing that the back wall tile will cover up that gap
I think i accidently unfollowed opps..sorry to be SO LATE in the comments. "NoW, LETS GET SOME MORTER!" > merch idea.
How long do you need to let 12x24 tiles setup before grouting?
You can grout it the next day
