    How to install a simple subway tile kitchen backsplash. Depending on the tile that is to be installed, and where it will be installed, it is sometimes appropriate to use mastic as an adhesive for the tile. When installing tile in a wet area such as a shower stall, mastic is not to be used, instead use a thinset mortar adhesive in areas that will be exposed to water. When using mastic to install subway tiles, ledger boards or bracing of the tile to prevent them from sliding down, will more than likely not be required. Mastic usually will hold a tile in place, unless the tile is very heavy. Mastic is a premixed adhesive that is sold in a bucket and is not thinset, and is not to be used in wet areas. A kitchen backsplash such as the one in this video is an instant where mastic is suitable. Use the correct size trowel to spread your mastic, the mastic bucket will have a description and a guide to help in the selection of the trowel for you tile. Once you have started to install your tile, always check to confirm that the coverage of adhesive on the back of the tile is adequate. Subway tiles more often than not will have automatic spacers on them; this will make it possible to just place a tile on to the next tile without the use of any other spaces. This is not always the case so check your tile before starting the installation. Once the tile is installed allow the mastic to set the appropriate amount of time before grouting.

    I've noticed some people mentioned about no spacers. I was a tiler for about 26 year's. many customers do like to see them used. but to be honest a good tiler won't always use them especially with smaller tiles or on a floor. many tiles are shaped at the edge to create a space. I've done much of my tiling just as neat without them. much of the time it's to stop a larger tile from sliding down the wall. great video mate

    @SalDiBlasi  11 лет назад +7

    Some times you get lucky, some times you don't.In this case i would have been short of the corner by a small amount, so on the long wall i started making the spaces between the tiles just ever so slightly wider to make up that difference. Not wide enough to be noticed but, enough to do the job. This is sometimes possible sometimes not. If not, start with a half tile where the short wall ends and work back to the corner and make those tiles smaller so that they seem to be folded.

    What I do Sal, to make the cutouts around the outlets easier. I buy those pack out boxes. They come in various thicknesses according to the tile you're using. No need to make the screw hole cut out. Square cutouts every time. Especially if you're installing a backsplash that already has outlets and switches installed. Take it for what you will.

    I'm installing subway tile in my kitchen. Never tiled before and I'm a little nervous. First I had to remove the old tile and I used plaster of paris to patch the torn wall areas. I didn't tear the wall apart but some of the plaster skim coat pulled off exposing the drywall paper. I also used a paper stapler on the drywall to prevent the paper from expanding outwards after plastering which happened in the beginning. My uncle use to do kitchens and baths and I remember him telling me about the stapling trick and use lots of staples. My plastering job was rough but the wall is now vertically level and strong. Well I'm all prepared to start tiling now...after I finish my coffee.

    Seems easy enough! Although I am nervous about the cutting of the tile..
    And you need to have the first tiles be different sizes no matter what, otherwise it will be the same pattern all the way?

    How do you deal with the line where the stove goes? I have 1/4" difference because they installed the peninsula on floor tile. I am using beveled subway tile, so cutting the tile would not look right.

    The subway tile at the three stores in my area all have the pressed edge. Is that the same spacing as your's? Does the pressed edge allow for enough space for grout?

    Where do you find the lugged subway tile? Lowes and home depot don't seem to carry them and seems much easier than playing with spacers.

      Not as common as they used to be, hard to find these days.

    If you use a wet saw to cut the tile can you still use mastic if the cut tile is wet? Or does it only stick if the tile is dry?

    • @SalDiBlasi
      @SalDiBlasi  5 лет назад

      Always dry off the tile, no matter what you use as an adhesive.
