Cutting or drilling ceramic or porcelain will create respirable dust if not wet. I recommend using wet processes, cleaning up the sludge before it dries and discarding it, to avoid silicosis risks. I noticed you were wearing proper PPE Belinda, and I think if people were doing a lot of cutting/drilling, they might need to control the dust more. Localised ventilation is also an option, using an extraction setup.

Excellent video! On the topic of flooring, I would appreciate another detailing floor sealants for commercial/residential use! I never understood why public bathrooms accumulate so much grime, when they could just seal everything up for easy cleanup?
@tiletheworld2 жыл бұрын
Normally sealants are the issue, it is the maintenances programs. As Belinda was saying, Porcelain tiles and glazed ceramics are very stain resistant, but if you push around dirty water on a dirty floor they are just moving the dirt around. If they would use a good cleaner and change the water often it would not be so grimey.😁
@jemiebridges31972 жыл бұрын
@@tiletheworld problem is boss yells at you for changing water so often so it's less work and stressful to just push it around. My personal clean level is "would in let my baby crawl on it?" But cheap as clients dont want to pay for that level even though with me it takes only about an extra 10 minutes so I'm not even costing a full hour.

I had no idea how ceramic and porcelain tiles were made, so that was interesting. And another thing. I was very happy about the fixed subtitles, as I understand better if I can read subtitles to the videos. So that is a very good step you took there. You speak quite clearly, but often I just loose focus, if there is no subtitles - probably because my hearing is not 100% perfect and English is a 2nd language to me.

Having installed both ceramic and porcelain tile, I feel porcelain is a better product well worth the extra cost. Ceramic tends to chip at edges and tear the glazing off much easier, especially when cutting. The porcelain I used also had a solid body color, so even if the glazing was damaged, it wouldn't appear to be a different color. The cost per material square foot is minor vs. the amount of time (or cost to pay someone) to install.

I'm glad you mentioned the decoupling membrane, it's honestly much more important than the tile itself. And it's a shame to see a high end tile have to get riped out and redone cause the homeowner tried to cheap out and hire a hack.
@tiletheworld2 жыл бұрын
Do you always use a decoupling membrane? Or do you every use Liquid Applied Membrane?
@mountainbikerdave2 жыл бұрын
@@tiletheworld a decoupling membrane is used anywhere where there can be movement. Concrete moves and concrete cracks. If your tile is attached directly to your concrete, when your concrete cracks your tile is going to crack or pop out. the decoupling membrane creates a gap between the concrete and the tile. So when your concrete cracks it doesn't transfer to the surface. It stays hidden below the tile. Also if you are attaching to non-engineered Wood, you would also use a decoupling membrane because wood moves with change in humidity. Liquid applied decoupling membrane? 🤔🙄❓ I think what you're talking about is a primer, which is not a decoupling membrane, it's something you apply to your substrate prior to applying the binder/adhesive to ensure firm positive adhesion.

The answer lies in the cost. Basically Porcelain tiles are costlier to make and especially the ones which have uniform cooler all the way through.
