This is the correct way to install . Prep is not over kill this is the way and the correct way to have a long lasting tile job . This is how my company been doing it for 18 years and still going strong no call back perfect installation . Great video. Do it this way you'll never have grout cracking loose tiles . And installing this type of floor always grout seal the tile before grouting let it dry then grout clean then seal your grout .
Concrete subfloors don't require an underlayment. they have "crack isolation" products for settling slabs, in which case you can use a membrane or a mesh tape. I've always sealed the tile after everything is grouted, but with more times than not that wood plank has a texture to it which makes it a bit more tasking to clean during the grout process.
Doing my living room and dining room starting tomorrow. 400 square feet. It's very hard work and I totally understand why the labor costs so much money
socialdef3 it’s very hard work. I’ve tiled a small bathroom w mosaic tiles which were tricky but the large tiles are very heavy and even the mortar gets heavy digging it out bucket. Very physically taxing and I had help doing 80 square foot.
i'm researching tile installation as i'm getting ready to install the same size tile in one of my bedrooms. this video is great in that it offers a very thorough overview of the work to be done. that said, there's more to it than what this video covers, but again this is an awesome overview of the work to be done. in my research the most important thing is the prep work. my house is a bit of a "proving ground" for me. i do all my "firsts" on my house and learn from trial and error before i work on someone else's house. i'm very excited about this project. that DITRA in the video is a must in my opinion. its something you never see people doing. they just tile straight to the concrete floor. nope - not me. i want to get it right. i'm definitely using the the DITRA for my project.
I worked with floor guys for like 4 years. And all we do is use the thin set, to level out. Then just Mortar, tile the grout. Then finished. You do let have to use all this. But it helps longevity past like 6-8 years.
Vic da G I guess you don't understand the terminology, what I'm trying to say is. You don't need to do any of this. Just get your floor down to concrete. And use mortar. Then grout. I remodel houses for a living. All those things are a waste of money
I understand you, but in NY where it can gget quite cold Oct - March, something like DRIcore OSB is necessary to raise the floor temperature about 5degrees C. www.lowes.com/pd/DRIcore-7-8-x-2-x-2-OSB-Sheathing/3603370?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-LumberAndBuildingMaterials-_-Osb-_-3603370:DRIcore&CAWELAID=&kpid=3603370&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=1624&k_clickID=72fe4f55-04cd-43c7-aeab-b7b469cd595f&gclid=CjwKCAjw6ZLOBRALEiwAxzyCWw1Ar-MYhtkCEyWa0HvzYkBC97Ye4r5pTIe597e8osVTVOYDDOEBGRoCwg0QAvD_BwE They didn't use it here, but I intend to keep using.
Did this through my whole first floor. Worked very similarly, but I used concrete backerboard instead of the thinner membrane. However, I had a terrible time with streaking in the grout. Turns out hand-mixing the grout maintains a much more uniform color.
I still use this underlayment on concrete every chance I get. It is a crack isolation membrane and allows for the concrete to equalize its moisture with in its self. They surprised me on getting this video pretty acutely. When setting tile it’s 1/4” back and forth movement to lay over the notches and expel the air. And to water proof a room you also tape up onto the walls. I stay away from the silicone idea and leave it blank. Silicone is only good for 7 years and if it hardens it would be the same as hard packing.
I think you forgot one very important recommendation when taking off old flooring. Especially vinyl flooring it might be a good idea to cover your face with the proper breathing apparatus due to asbestos
LMAO GOOD ONE!!! Now, should I be a racist as well and say I know I wont have to worry about you being in this country any longer because old Trumpy is playing catch and release back to mexico?? I''ll keep it classy Gustavo.
I've snapped about 20 miles of lines in 30 years in construction...If you're moving around so much that you wipe your lines, you need red chalk or need to know when to put down the chalk...
I’ve done two tile jobs, one Saltillo through living room, entry hall and guest bath. Did one porcelain square tiles living room, hallway, and bath. I did a shower on my previous home. This is the first for rectangular tile. I’m just getting an idea of how to start. I did a couple laminate wood floors in the bedrooms but forgot to stagger. They’re small rooms so they don’t look bad.
How/where do you start laying the tiles? How about the second row? Is there a minimum width of a tile at the end? They just kind of glanced over that info.
first you’re gonna wanna use a high quality liquid magma and place it in perfect 27.5 degree angles spacing each line out 5.7 centimeters from each other and then youre gonna wanna find an elderly woman named Deborah and lay her knitted baby quilts along the surface
Are there any pros and cons on using the membrane when installing this flooring directly on concrete?Also, if installing the flooring prior to any baseboards being installed, do you still leave 1/4" gap along the walls for expansion w/o the membrane?
No matter what you’ll need a expansion gap for the title so it never buckle due to weather causing the house to expand and shrink but if your titling concrete you usually don’t need that as concrete already has moisture in it so there’s no point. that’s why you use a pre treated sill plates for framing
You can use the membrane on concrete floors or on wood floors that doesn't have to be just on wood tiles you can use it on any tile really the reason why I no this is because I am a tile installer and a private contractor
I want to install this kind of tile in my living room, but it is in the middle of the house, we have to go through it to go to the bedrooms, to the kitchen, to the back door, and the front door. My concern is that I already know it's going to take me several days to finish, and it is going to be a nightmare while in the process, trying no to step on it. Any ideas on how to deal with that with 5 adults and 2 dogs in the house?
Based on your description of the layout, would be pretty tricky. If you follow our installation process you would need to allow curing time for the thinset on uncoupling membrane + about 24 hours for mortar to cure after all the tile is down. Thanks for watching.
Oh, believe me, I thought of that. Unfortunately two rooms can't be accessed via window. lol But I think I'm going to do it in parts. Tile one part and wait til it's traffic ready, then the other, then the other. So what if it's not perfect? The tile police is not going to come and get me... will it? =D
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.
question: how do you call this new way of method tiling the floor? because in our country we still used the old fashioned way like manually putting cement underneath the tiles.
nobert garcia this is pretty much the standard tile floor installation - maybe the uncoupling membrane is throwing you off? You'll find step by step project details here: low.es/1PzNbJA. Thanks for watching.
Help What is the orange layer mat. A few years ago Lowes just removed the laminate to concrete slab and thin set the tile to slab. Now is the orange layer mat required or is it necessary. Seems to be a lot of extra work..
what off set did you use in the installation of this tile? I've been reading on this, and every thing says to use a 1/3 off set? but in this video is not really in any kind of set pattern.
Hi, Albert. Manufacturer recommends 33% offset maximum for this type of tile. Might be tough to see in the video but that's what we used. Thanks for watching.
Lauren Helfrich Tile was $2000, the uncoupling membrane was about $1500, mortar and polymer additive ran about $200. Husband and I are doing all the labor, 300sf so far. Slow but saving about $3000 in labor. So worth it to do the project together.
Here's what we have available for wood lock tiles: www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=wood+lock+tiles. The steps from the video will still be the same, but the sizing of the tiles may slightly vary based on which product you choose. You can find the width and length listed under the product specifications for the tiles you like best. Thanks for your question!
It's generally not recommended, but you can install tile without grout if it's in a dry area. Be careful if you're installing on a wood subfloor vs. concrete slab though, as the slight fluctuations in the wood can crack the flush-installed tile.
get them as close as possible with the smallest gap still (always good to have at least a tiny gap between tiles). then use non-sanded grout that color matches. You need the non-sanded in thinner gap lines.
I had these same floors installed in our house last month. Can someone tell me what can I use to clean ? Also, the floors are kind of dull color no shine to it is there something I can use to mope with? I did use a sealer
Hi, Lauren. Cost will vary depending on the tile you choose and how much prep is needed. Here's a closer look at the tile we used in this video: low.es/2vHELeW.
You can, but you need to make sure it's in good, solid shape. Here's more info on prepping for tile: www.lowes.com/projects/bed-and-bath/prep-tile-floor/project
If you are installing ditra membrane on top of plywood, make sure to screw the base plywood every 6 inches (lots of screws) prior adding ditra, otherwise the humidity will mess with the base and your ditra job will not work.
Don't worry...with a little elbow grease, you'll be able to remove it! Just chisel out the tile, then use a floor scraper to remove the old thinset. More details here: www.lowes.com/projects/bed-and-bath/prep-tile-floor/project Thanks for watching!
I tiled my kitchen in my last house, but didn’t tile under the dishwasher or stove. It looked fine. I did tile under the fridge because it gets moved regularly. Why do you tile under the appliances. I also applied the tile straight to the slab. No issues with cracking. If I am applying straight to the slab, why do I need layers of other materials? I’m probably doing the floors in the house we’re building, so, I need to know the why for these things. I want to do it right.
The only thing this video showed me is that I shouldn't complain nor question why someone charges me whatever they charge me whatever number they say. They deserve their fair pay.
EDITORS NOTE - The video incorrectly states that tile sealer must be used. You do not need to use tile sealer on porcelain tile.
