How To Tile a SMALL FLOOR with HEXAGON TILES
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2022
- Traditionally, Hexagon tiles only came in a small size like a 2x2 or 1x1 Mosaic. But a more modern format is now available in 8x8, 9x9, or even larger. These larger hexagon tiles are great for a small bathroom, laundry, entry or powder bathroom floor.
This video explains in detail how a beginner or DIY'er can install these hexagon tiles with great results.

Got lucky on that toilet flange if I didn’t watch the whole thing I would’ve guessed you did the layout off the flange lol nice job !!!
We're DIYers and today's our fist ever tiling job, which just so happens to be in a similar size bathroom and with the same size hexagons and layout as you used in this video. So, this couldn't be more relevant and your tips are very helpful. Appreciate the extra time and effort that goes into sharing your content. Cheers!
I like how tiles worked out around toilet flange.👍
Thanks for going the extra mile to bring us along in a way that not only makes sense but looks amazing. Your video quality seem to be a reflection of your attention of detail in your tile work.
thank you. I install tile A LOT as a renovator and I think every time i watch one of your videos I pick up another helpful tip or nuance that I can use. Always appreciated.
I like how you do it systematically. Nice. 👍
I'm wife just picked out Hex tiles doe our walk in shower, this is going to be a big help thanks for that you do.
Your video literally saved me so much time!!!
Excellent video, a good explanation of how to lay everything out. Thanks!
Thanks for your videos much appreciated from Australia 🇦🇺
Love your videos man. You've helped me with multiple diy projects
I’m really grateful for guys like you. The amount of time you put in the videos cannot be appreciated enough!!! Thx a ton
Nice Job. I’ve only ever done square or rectangular tile so this was great to watch before I tackle our bathroom. Mine is way out of square but I will definitely lay it out dry which is really good tip. Thanks for taking the time.
Well thought out and good work sir.
I’m so glad I came across this video. Your video is well put together, and easy for me to understand. I have done tile before, but not a floor. I am going to do the bathroom upstairs. It’s a little bigger than this but all in all I think I can get it done. I will let you know how it goes.
Man you’re so chill lol, just finished doing my small half bath with octagon Carrera tile and it was like a stress test haha. Looks great though so was worth it.
This is literally my next project, perfect timing
Good luck!
Great video, thanks Isaac. Keep it up! Love from London.
Nice video...As a DIYer it would have been really helpful about 2 weeks ago as I did tiled a basement bathroom with hex tile. Still learning. Thank you
I've watched a few of your videos and they are well done and very helpful so I'm now a new Sub!
It’s awesome ! Thanks coach
I really like the look of hexagonal tile.
Thank you for this video it's awesome!!
Watched the whole thing! Awesome man!
Thanks Matt!
checking the square is much easier with a laser level)
Good video!
super helpful great instruction
Killer work man
Solid video, some good fundamentals. Testing for square can be done pretty quickly with the 3-4-5 system as well.
Or a simple corner to corner.
3-4-5 is most accurate
3-4-5 method ?
@@jesseaguirre6827 measure 3 foot off your line 4 foot off the other should equal 5 foot like a triangle
Hes demonstrated the 3-4-5 before
Such a good job!
Great video. Thank you
Love your videos
Awesome job
Nice one. Hops your alright pal. Sounded a bit down at some points. Fab vid and content as always.
Do like the finer details you touched on. Pre prep ect. Alway interesting to see you guys have to deal with old chap also. 👍
Thanks again for sharing your time.
Best tape measure 👍👍
Great Job 👌👌
Thanks a lot, Well appreciated.
17:55 And I [We] so do APPRECIATE the extra time it takes to make these videos for us. Know don’t have/need to; so I greatly appreciate what you’re doing🙏🏻
Nice job on this little bathroom, and like the bigger hex tile compared to the smaller ones, little easier to cut; than again, just depends on the job itself, etc…😉
You have yourself a good day and hope things been going great for you, family, and your crews.
Just a quick question for ya, you been having trouble getting blue remodel electrical boxes (1 gang and 2 gang) as well over in CA?
Catcha L8R on the next, cheers Isaac✌🏻
Yes
Perfect job, but to avoid the problem of cover lines with thinset, what I do it is once a time I instal the first tile or two tiles, I put the square laser on top of the first tile and just follow the laser lines !!!! Thanks
Every home owner I’ve ever met that mentioned hex tiles always gives off a “I miss my coke days in the 80s” vibe
Planning on retiling my half bathroom in the near future. Thanks for the tutorial. The measuring is still slightly confusing to me 😂.
This video is great to show why you should start at the door and make your way out. Most important place is when you step in. As you can see leaving it to last gives you half pieces there
Even if you get a sliver of a cut at the bathtub? There are no set rules to layout. All sides need to be considered not just one.
Do not turn with hex tiles...just go in straight lines towards the door
@@TileCoach Do not turn with hex tiles...just go in straight lines towards the door
You are wrong, dude... if you don't know what you are talking about (and you don't), you should probably just keep quiet, ok?
Great work 🤷🏽♂️
I watch your videos all the time and have learned a lot. I would like to see a video of how you do a linear drain. I have remodeled two shower already and moved the drains to accommodate a 24inch and a 36 inch linear drain with fantastic result. But I would like to see how you do it, since it's a little different from a traditional single drain. Thanks
Thanks for the video, I'm grateful for you sharing your vast knowledge. I was waiting to see how you level the tile, is this not required? Thanks again!
Came for the layout, stayed for the install.
Great job explaining all your prep! Bro, you need a laser level that shoots an x!
Beautiful
Thanks for all your videos...so helpful! I'm tiling a bathroom right now with identical hex tile over ditra xl. At the ditra/tub contact my tile shop recommended waterproofing the joint by 'caulking' with kerdi-fix, then applying kerdi-band with All Set onto the ditra parallel with the tub. I just watched another of your videos where you show that Kerdi-fix is not a sealant but an adhesive and will wind up leaking. I'm wondering if I'd be better off caulking the joint between the ditra and the tub with silicone instead and then kerdi band before tiling. I'd really appreciate any help!
Nice thanks!
Good support 👍
Thank you for these excellent videos! Why did you backbutter the doorway tiles only?
You might to checkout the video, "trowel and error" the NTCA put on with custom building products. just a helpful tip.
I check in with the wife. That was to funny u mention that. Lolz
Dang. Now I want hexagon tiles in my home.
I love "TileCoach", I love "TileCoach". I bought the yellow bucket liner it recommended, but I found that I prefer the blue bucket liner one, which is cheaper and thicker.
Thanks!
Very good job. In production work we base off doorway and do not give importance to rear wall where toilet and vanity will be covering.
I’m just a DIYer, but if I don’t have a full tile where I step through the doorway, I’m triggered!
Keep making them!! Do it for Jesus! I appreciate you and making informative videos.
How lucky you were with that toilet flange (or was it luck)!👍
Do you need to back butter those tiles? If you have 5x7 hex tiles do they need to be back buttered?
@TileCoach What camera are you using for filming? How do you manage with angles in tiny rooms such as this? Wide angle lenses or built in camera features? Thanks!
Tile coach, what are your thoughts on the Guru shower system? Would you be willing to do a video on it??
I wonder if taping lines with 1/4" tape and removing after mortar is spread would work.
I this situation I would get a center line in the room first the square off the center line and adjust as needed.
You can then adjust the lines from the center to get the cuts on all four walls equal from side to side!
I feel your pain on that last piece of tile!
Nice vid
Thanks Dave
So we were tiling shower walls with octagons. Tough! Recommendations on octagons against the Schluter?
Hi @TileCoach
Is there a reason why you’re using those horseshoe spacers, instead of the ones that also maintain the tile level like the wedges for example?
I will be putting similar tiles soon in my bathroom. I have already poured 1/2 inch self leveling concrete over plywood subfloor and my question is do I need to use unmodified thinset or can I use modifed with polymer? Because based on the reading I have done so far I have understood I need to use unmodified. Am I correct?
I agree that the no spacers on hexagons is sometimes a lot easier.
I’d like to see a video like this where it’s not a “perfect fit” because that’s usually how my tile jobs end up, and I have to figure out how to fix it.
Coach, How is it you aren't forcing the tiles down more? It seems you are just setting them on top of the mortar. Won't that leave a weak bond? Thanks!
Question: I noticed you back-buttered that last tile in the entry way, but didn't see you back-butter the rest of the room. Is that because the entry gets the most foot traffic?
What’s a good sqf price for installation on hex? Not sure if I’m charging low
Hi I have to put a terrace with tiles and I don't know how to give the waterfall ?? Any help or ideea. I have two drain pipes on the small side
Please upload a full video of drainage systems
You love getting a check from youtube
If you were doing a corner hearth for wood stove, would you start from the front edge making your way back to the walls or the back corner forwards?
I should also ask if your corner is not at the exact 90° angle, what would you recommend for above question too.
Is there a reason for not back buttering the tiles?
You should hashtag that bond braker. I couldn't find anything on the web when I ran across this on my master bath.

At about 12:25 in, you measured from wall out 11.5” and the measured from control line 3 1/8” to get where to start with first 2 full tile pieces. But, you ended up starting with half tiles from wall. So, why am l measuring out from wall?
What is it you apply to the floor before the mortar??
Coincidence or karma? I’ve been subscribed for while now and have had a hex tile planned for just as long. Thanks!
I’m hoping to center my tile on the doorway if the cuts left and right don’t end up as slivers. I’ll find out soon….
Do you have to back butter ?
How hard do you press on the tile wen you install them
Do you have to grout hex tile ?
I back butter every tile i set, especially on floors
I calculate 90degree lines. 3-4-5 is the tool for having right triangle where one corner is 90 degree. Google 3 4 5 triangle.. you can multiply those when having larger areas.
Can you explain why you didn’t use an uncoupling membrane, I know it’s concrete, but concrete can crack or is it because it’s older and would have cracked already?
I'm guessing it wasn't in the customers budget
I think you only use uncoupling membrane if the surface is wood as wood contract and expand at a different rate.
Curious as to why you didn’t back butter? You seem pretty thorough, so I assume you considered it.
Do you host any classes in LA?

Love your videos but wheres the level how do tou know theres not crowns or dips in your floor and if your out of level ?
Will you not have any lipage?
I am looking at using a very modern base board that requires that the floors be tiled before the drywall goes up and a few of the sub contractors are a little gripped with that. hahaha
So Terrazzo tile, then baseboard and then drywall, it's not the order that contractors are use to doing.
Why ive learned to love my laser,do the corner and shoot off that.
How often do you find your centers to assure you have equal cuts side to side and front to back?
Maybe he did off camera? Turned out great anyways
@@TheBshackelford1 I agree. It did turn out great. I just didn't remember him specifically doing it. In any video for that matter. I worked wit a guy who really made the fact important.
@@beezo1029 thinking back to all the vids I watched I don't remember either. 😅
Why no uncoupling memberane was used?
You do not need a butter your tile?
😮 no back buttering?
How come you don’t butter the back of the tile
