Top Five Tips for Rapid Setting Tile Installations

- Learn how to save time and money by installing tile with rapid setting, fast curing levelers, membranes, mortar and grout. Fast track commercial tile installations like restaurant and retail remodels will benefit by opening to traffic earlier when a rapid setting tile installation system is used.
Early high-strength, rapid-setting installation systems are specially formulated for these situations.
Make sure you have sufficient installation products on hand by using a tool like the Material Calculator on the CUSTOM website.
Tile surfaces can trap grout particles with disastrous results, so test the grout on the tile to see if a grout release or sealer will be needed. If so, consider pre-sealing the tile to save time during the installation.
Regardless of schedule, the substrate must be properly prepared before installing tile. Only a stable, flat surface will allow rapid - and durable - installation of tile.
The easiest way to achieve flatness is to use an underlayment such as CUSTOM’s LevelQuik® RS Self-Leveling Underlayment. Rapid-setting LevelQuik can be poured and ready for tiling within just a few hours.
When crack isolation is part of the installation assembly, there are several options that allow very short wait times prior to tiling.
To achieve extra heavy service levels and protect against cracks up to 3/8”, install self-bonding CrackBuster Pro Crack Prevention Mat Underlayment.
For crack suppression plus waterproofing, RedGard® Uncoupling Mat bonds to the substrate with thin-set mortar so tile can be installed immediately.
Or choose RedGard Waterproofing and Crack Prevention Membrane, a versatile liquid option. Apply one coat for crack isolation, two coats for waterproofing. Allow about 45 minutes for each coat to dry, depending on temperature and humidity.
Not all rapid setting mortars are created equal. Some are based on simple acceleration of the Portland cement hydration process and they dry quickly, but don’t really develop enough strength to allow early traffic.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requires dry-set tile installation mortars to achieve shear bond strength greater than 50 psi in 4 hours to accommodate foot traffic and allow for grouting.
Always choose an advanced polymer-modified mortar that promotes faster hydration and builds strength quickly.
ProLite® Rapid Setting Large Format Tile and Stone Mortar is formulated for fast-paced installation of large and heavy tile and meets the requirements of ANSI A118.15F. ProLite offers superior workability, will not slump or sag, and provides high bond strength and flexibility.
The most demanding conditions may call for MegaLite Rapid Setting Crack Prevention Mortar, which offers the ultimate support for large format tile and stone.
Ensuring full mortar coverage on large tiles can be time consuming, so consider setting tile with a flowable mortar like Complete Contact-LFT Rapid Setting Large Format Tile & Stone Mortar. Complete Contact saves time by helping to fill the gaps between trowel ridges and can eliminate the need to back butter the tile. It also exceeds the requirements of ANSI A118.4F, A118.11 and A118.15F.
Standard cement-based grouts are ready for traffic the next day but can cure very slowly when the weather is cold or damp. Choose a grout that will not delay your critical project. Fast-setting Prism® Color Consistent Grout cures quickly allowing foot traffic in just a few hours.
Prism produces dense grout joints without mottling, shading or efflorescence, regardless of temperature or humidity.
For installations requiring very high chemical and heat resistance, CEG-IG™ Industrial Grade Epoxy Grout is rapid curing to both set and grout tiles. CEG-IG cleans up quickly with just water and holds up to the harsh conditions found in commercial kitchens, which often require fast track installations.

Very informative. Thank you!
So, in order to 'save time and money' to speed up the tiling process, you have to spend time and money on expensive levelling compounds, that dont really level.. So how exactly has time and money been saved?
customers usually cant afford self level so i am guilty of leveling with thinset. I've built thinset beds as thick as an inch. ill knock on it next day and sounds solid. ive actually used medium coarse gravel mixed in thinset. works really good
That sucks lol
Thank you. Great video!
My left ear enjoyed this
I have a question I am about to use high end vinyl floor planking on a concrete slab the room is like couple feet below grade. Now existing are 9x9 anyway some are missing what would be best way to even floor.
Schluter decoupling membrane instalation says to use a non poly modified thinset for tile instalation, how is red guards decoupling different, to allow the use of a poly modified thinset during tile installation?
Wear do you buy these products
There was some epoxy grouting done at a job at it was poorly washed so I spent an entire week at the site with a heat gun, cleaning solution, and three grill brushes that I ran down to the nubs. Worst week of work every, it hardly made it look good but it did make a difference... Kind of.
JRE intro 😂
Very nice👌👌👌
I like your all Youtub Videos💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
I won't use redguard ever I've seen it fail to many times even under perfect conditions.
I know this is a little late but for those saying no sound, there's sound but it's only on the left channel (or left earpiece/left speaker).
How many bags do I have to buy to get one of those aprons? I’ve bought at least 500 bags. And thousand of feet of profile!
As always, you have to buy one more...
Great video. If you're going to step up to the next level as a tile/marble setter then these are all musts. RedGuard is a great product, Custom Pro-Lite, again great product. Don't mix more than a half bucket of Rapid ThinSet unless you are experienced with the product. And if you're going to use CEG IG make sure that not only the pro doing the grouting alone but the grouting helper is experienced with cleaning rapid setting grout or risk a lot of waste, headaches, and extra work.
Good
I have sound guess some ppl need to wear their ear protection
no sound
Nah.. I'll stick with Ardex. FL grout is sanded, and can be used in joints under 1/8 in grout joints, can be used on glass, and is fully set in 90 mins. Also Ardex guarantees their products. Best mortars, best grouts, best water proofing and membranes, best silicone. Etc... Ain't changing my mind.
Ardex is the best
3.45...... Whys he starting tiling in a corner with full tile?
Maybe that is the design or start point
self leveler doesn't always flatten properly...no matter how much prep you do... your going to have to correct areas with thin set as you install tile,,,
you just want to sell self leveling products
peter stapleton - use a tile stone to sand down high spots.
did you even watch the video? the guy say's that correcting tile with mortar during installation is wrong...no matter how much you prepare the floor you... will always have to lift a few corner's...and push a couple down
For how much it costs, self leveler doesn't flatten worth a damn
Of course you will have to build up tile. What he is saying, the variations being more than 1/8 of an inch for 10 feet 10 feet. I do no think you understood what he said or skipped through the video?
Thanks for the tips, but the audio can be better. I literally waste 5 minutes disconnecting and reconnecting my bluetooth multiple times thinking it is not working properly. Turns out the video is actually the culprit. lol
Thinset doesn't bond well with plywood subfloors. Not a good idea to apply redgaurd mat to wood subfloors with thinset.
This should be called the slowest possible way to install tile. Corporate Blabber
Spoken like a guy that does tile from time to time not like a commercial journeyman tile and marble setter.
Redguard...the worst waterproofing anti fracture product out there... i know I've ripped alot up
I agree
You disagree because you don't know how to use it. Personally I prefer hydroban but RedGard is fantastic for waterproofing and crack isolation. Are you a journeyman tile and marble setter or are you a guy who lays tile and does some framing, and sets toilets once in a while and anything else you can do to make money?
@@jasonpaden7315 I'm a third generation master mechanic...I've been a tile mechanic/ stone mason for over thirty years...red guard is not great I've seen it fail multiple times. on to many jobs where it's spec'd over concrete. I have never had an issue with mapie waterproofing and anti fractures...even bosticks ultraset is better, especially for mud beds.
its just a commercial.
I like custom products but redguard is a joke.
Red guard is the best product, no joke about you must see Starr Tile on RUclips.
I’m tiling our new kitchen. Mapei company is a joke. I will never use their mortar again. I’ll never tile anything again either. I’ve never been so frustrated. I’m a mess. The floor is a dirty mess. Six popped up. I am losing my mind. Taking 3 days to dry. Argh 😤 Thanks for showing different products.
Sounds like you used pre-mixed mastic in the bucket which is a terrible product.
all this bullshit is so manufactures get out of paying for any floor failures. i install wood and carpet and vinyl and carpet and i read the directions that come in the cartons and its like reading the funny papers. 1/8 of an inch in like 12 foot is pretty tight tolerances. i know things need to be right but come on if my thinset is an 8th inch thicker in a couple of spots i dont think the frigerator will break a hole in it.
More showing and less talking dude
I refuse to use RedGuard. Its junk. I don't care who you are.
You talk too much
Jajaj
Fancy show room and fuc* ed up audio
