Buy THIS Tool BEFORE You Tile! | Tiling a Shower

Hey Gang! In today's video we're teaching you everything we know about tiling a shower wall. Not just how to make it look good, but how to not get frustrated along the way. Tiling is all about the small details, in the work yes, but also in the way you're setting them. Staying clean, organized, and having a proper functional layout can make or break your shower job.

[@brianhopkins5251]

good stuff. Might want to discuss about making sure you always order extra tile. Being 1 or 2 short and then you go to buy another box and it either doesn't exist anymore or the color is slightly different. (plus you always want a few extra to sit in the attic for the next owner to find 30 years later. :-) )

[@lechatbotte.]

Lol yep

[@BonBon770]

You should always order 10 to 20% extra depending on pattern and layout

[@DeuceGenius]

I've found those tiles!

[@BlackCat-rm2wv]

It's better to have extra tiles and not need them, then need them and not have them. Lol

[@williammorris3303]

I’ve always bought 10% over, for some reason because my brain doesn’t account for areas that give you 2 cuts from 1 tile I always end up with excessive overage

[@elvagabundo4607]

Professional tile setter for 20 years. Couple of points. 1. As mentioned by others the top tile on the left wall should be two tiles to match the pattern, although I suspect with your attention to detail and perfectionism, the next video will be you realizing you oopsied. 2. When doing the layout, if you are using a pure white tile, the thin strip of the tile at the top will disappear visually speaking, when it is grouted with white grout. With a patterned tile perhaps not so much. That isn't to say you shouldn't have done your layout this way, as it gave you full tiles at the top and bottom of the niche. The expression I have come up with is that tile setters are trying to create the "veneer of perfection" (all you Frasier fans should take a drink at this moment!) You can't create perfect but you want the observers eyes to land where you want them to land and not see the fact that the tiles are not full tile at every wall which would be true perfection. (in 20 years that has only happened once for me). Having full tile at the top and bottom of the niche draws the eyes. Perfect. 3. When I tile with kerdi, I scratch coat the wall and trowel the notches onto the back of the tile. I find it is less messy. I scratch coat the whole wall all at once, even if it dries, thin set adheres to itself really well. I trowel the thinset on the back of the tiles out from the center so that the air still can escape out the grooves. After some practice I can spin up to a 2'x2' tile on my hand (like a pizza) and trowel with the other, or place on clean water bucket and trowel away. 4. When cutting out the square for the tap hardware, start on the face side. You may need to get a better grinder wheel that cuts cleaner. I have found some of the best wheels at rental stores. $20 Canadian, can't remember the brand and the name has worn off the wheel. Tiled 50 bathrooms with 1 grinder wheel and a tile cutter like yours. As well I use a wet diamond pad, about the size of a drywall pad. Again I think they are in the $20 range. I would go to a tiling supply store if you don't already. They should have them. They are relatively inexpensive and do the same as your file to smooth the edges, but if you ever get into mitering corners they help a great deal. As well you can use them to clean cured mud off of your tools to get them back to shiny. 5. Ideally you want the wall tile to land on your sill but with the stone slab that makes the point moot. 6. I have only ever had one hole saw to do the shower head pipe and it is about 1 1/4", Again I don't think too expensive at a tiling supplies store. 7. Keep up the great work. I have learned a lot of fantastic info from you about other aspects of construction. Your skills are what got me to start watching your channel, your humility keeps me watching! Feel free to pick my brain if you want on tiling questions

There may be a billion videos on tiling, but not many I’d rather watch than STUD PACK! Thanks, guys!

[@johnsrabe]

If there are any DIYers out there who skipped to this video, without watching the others, you will miss the most important aspect of tiling, and that is prep. Paul’s tile goes on so nicely because he spent so long making sure he had a flat square and plumb surface to attach it to.

[@ProToolsApproved]

In my early years I learned this the hard way. Rushed the set up because I thought I was good enough to fix/hide/cheat any problems I would run into. One client, one shower changed that way of thinking. I'll never forget it. That day I learned a lesson and went from pro to expert at that moment when I knew i'd always spend more time prepping than laying from that job on.

[@johnsrabe]

@@ProToolsApproved Yep. Tile stobbornly refuses to bend! Great that you got the lesson, though. As I’ve gotten older, and I am almost 56 now, I have come to regard these as “kick in the ass” moments, which I recognize faster, learn the lesson, and welcome the next one.

[@cynthiaayers7696]

Well you can prep all you want like my husband did and then when the tiler's came in they made a worse mess than what he'd already tore out. There was no waterproofing before and they still didn't waterproof it in the new installation. There is no grout in the walls they used clear silicone with white porcelain...? I have two standing 1/8 inch deep puddles 4 inches away from the drain hole..?? The uprights for the shower slider doors half on porcelain half on plasterboard. The tiles on the wall one foot by 2 ft some hang an eighth of an inch out over the tile below and others are the opposite. And up to half inch gap in bottom corner tile just filled in with silicone. The list goes on. Now my husband's a disabled veteran that's why it took him so long to tear a small 6x9 bathroom apart, and it was supposed to be a present for him. Bottom line is... it must be all tour back out and redone floor to ceiling. The help he got was from family who has been building homes for three generations. So much for family and all that love. You should see the let down in his eyes,.. it's heartbreaking.

[@jjl499]

Every video is from this start forward. Prep is hardest, most important, and most of the work

Such an awesome series! As a fellow KZbinr I have just one recommendation - maybe put all of these videos in a playlist so they're easier to find. Took me a bit to sift through and find each new step in the series because of the other vids in between.

[@brendanwood1540]

You could use painters tape to lay out the lines with the speed square on the front side of the tile. Then cut with the grinder from the front side and inside the tape line. The tape won't mark the tile and it helps prevent too many chips.

[@ericolijnyk3392]

As a builder it's refreshing to see other builders take pride in their work and pay attention to detail.

[@FranklinVaquerano89]

Had to pause the video and write this comment. Of course I’m going to learn something on this video. You’re one of the only ones on here that really explains technique the why’s of everything you do. You make it easy to follow and entertaining as well.

[@Ditchdoc220]

This has been the single most informative and helpful tiling series I have ever watched. I very grateful for all your advice and willingness to instruct.

[@ThinkerNotEmoter]

I love your videos. I'm learning as fast as I can, tiling a master bath walk-in shower with 12 x 24 tiles, and pebble floor, now. One thing that I learned that you don't have in there is to put the leveling system Ts behind the ledger strips so that the bottom tiles can be leveled when they are installed. Don't forget to lower your ledger strips the appropriate amount to make up for the additional height that the Ts add to the ledger. Also, be sure that you put the Ts in all of the correct places for the tiles to be installed above and below.

[@chevyhighrider]

One tip I learned the hard way is make sure there’s no drafts in the room or your Thinset will skin over super quick. There is a HVAC supply vent in the small bathroom I’m working in and I believe the A/C was sucking moisture outta the air and causing it to skin over way too fast resulting in subway tiles that didn’t adhere. Also good idea to soak them if they’re ceramic so they don’t pull moisture out of the top layer of the Thinset too quickly

[@ivoted7199]

I am a Northern California Contractor specializing in Kitchen/Bathrooms. This guy has obviously been doing this for a long time and has gained the knowledge & experience required to teach. He even explains "cheats", tips & tricks that will prevent failures. Guessing, not unlike myself, he never gets a callback/complaint from his clients. Great work buddy! I wish I had a Father to teach me before I entered the trades alas, I had to learn it the hard way. Also - the creation of the tile leveling system is/was a godsend.

[@edo.4400]

Wow. I've watched a number of very good videos on tiling, but you are so thorough, showing, discussing and explaining every aspect of the job, I feel like I'm there with you learning as you do it. Combine that with your knowledge, expert technique and attention to details to all aspect of the work/job is incredible. Very glad I discovered your channel.

[@antonyfranco2866]

10:11 To avoid voids you should grab some more thinset with the notched edge of the trowel and then trowel the wall. This will create larger thinset lines without any voids, and will provide more coverage. It's also faster than skim coating over voids and troweling over it again.

[@eustacemcgoodboy9702]

I like that you show the tips and tricks for people who have never done this before at all. Too many youtube videos assume a much greater level of experience in construction than a lot of us actually have...

[@goodtobehandy]

You can also add an accent band or stripe (pencil tile) to make the layout work .both of those holes look great from my house 😁

[@lhffan]

Great way to avoid slivers

[@jw1731]

Good idea. Personally I always assumed the reason tile companies sell tiles with dimensions slightly less than 1 or 2 foot is to compel us to buy accent strips. ;)

[@MoneyManHolmes]

I would probably just open the grout lines like 1/16? to keep a full tile at the bottom and eliminate the sliver. Or possible try to factor that in when determining the slope of the pan. There’s so much to think about and everyone has different taste. That’s what I love about tiling.

[@Mental_Egg]

[@MrWaterbugdesign]

Another option which I like is to have a horizontal strip mid wall of a contrasting title that's 3,4,6". That allows me to always have a full tile at the bottom and cut a little off the tile at the ceiling. Plus the contrasting strip is always going to be seen as a more custom job, higher value.

[@Michael-wq6dg]

I like that that doesn't leave a cut tile at the bottom that's difficult to silicone.

[@LoveColorado]

Fantastic stuff. Getting ready to tile a kitchen wall, floor, and two bathrooms. Should be fun times! Thanks for all you two do.

[@farikomike524]

Something I personally do if I'm cutting out the middle of a tile, I use a cordless grinder (so I don't kill myself) and hold a damp sponge against the side of the blade as I cut. You can squeeze out a little bit of water as you go which helps the cut and keeps the dust down. My blade always chips slightly on the inside of the cut so I just rotate as I'm going keeping the finished edge on the outside of the blade. Done this with porcelain too and it works well for small cuts.

Number one tip I've got from this series is cleaning the edges with a margin trowel before installing each tile. Seems obvious now, but it never occurred to me when I did my shower.

Great DIY tips and tricks and I loved the fact that it's step by step without background music blasting. as we've seen from other home repair workers. Alternatively, I read that "redgard " waterproofing, can be skimmed or painted on, before the adhesive or mortar, as you've seen because all tile work eventually develops cracks behind it that allows water seepage and redgard or any waterproofing membrane prevents or eliminates that nightmare of extra work 5 or ten years in the future. Excellent video and although I've been doing repairs for half of my life, it's always important to see the proper ways and mistakes to avoid time lost, which, as we've all seen, can never be returned.

[@JT_70]

Beautiful job! I’m not a tiler but have a couple of comments about leveling clips. If you install the wedges pointing toward the already laid tile, it will pull the tiles tight against the clip and the already laid tile. But, if pointing toward the tile being laid, they have a tendency to push the tiles apart and can widen the grout line. Also, when putting the clips in on your last row for the day to come back to the next day, be sure that the wedge is tight against the tile otherwise if there is thinset atop the wedge it won’t pull the tiles even the next day. I insert a small piece of cut-off tile and insert a wedge to hold the cut-off, the tile and the leveling clip in the proper alignmentfor the next morning. It’s a pain to have to cut out the thinset and leveling clip the next day because the clip isn’t up against the tile laid the day before.

[@cowslinger64]

Quote: But, if pointing toward the tile being laid, they have a tendency to push the tiles apart and can widen the grout line. That is an issue I have not seen addressed anywhere. I've the wedges put in from tiled previously laid, to the new tile. There has been a time or two when it caused the grout line to open, and I had to fuss with it to make it right. I'll keep your idea in mind. Thanks.

[@JT_70]

@mic dundee I install the wedges using the pliers tool that is made for installing them and then use a soft white mallet to break the clips and wedges off the next day. My wife discovered the problem with the wedges spreading the grout line. She makes sure the grout lines are all the same width, that the tiles are level in all directions and that there is no lippage. She also takes a bright LED light to painted walls and marks any areas needing touch ups or more of my attention. Teamwork!

[@WhateverItsanOpinion]

When it comes to slivers at the top.. I find it interesting to take white marble Accent half inch round and make it look like a molding around the top.. Ends up being a very nice finish and still being able to utilize full tile at the bottom.. Just a thought

[@normbograham]

I've been a diy, for 40 years, and watching this video I learned something. cool. There was a time, before computers, before cell phones, where people helped each other on their projects, and that was cool, since you could know 90%, if you help knew something too. Since that disappeared, over the years, it's nice to learn something from the videos.

[@blaster-zy7xx]

That was GREAT! I did mine already and I did it 90% like you said, but I didn't know to clean the thin set on the edges before setting, so I had to clean out the squeeze out by hand before grouting. That would have saved me. I have one comment on layout. Use can also use a horizontal accent stripe at about eye level to get rid of slivers at the top.

I’ve found that a popsicle stick is great for cleaning the thin set from between the tiled when the thin set is fresh…A DYI FYI

[@dirkg7062]

QUESTION....Was the neich's location planned according to the size of your tile? or did you just get lucky that it lined up perfect?

[@ivwshane]

Yeah, how to determine the placement of the niche would be very helpful. When I did my shower I placed mine where I felt it was most functional and aesthetic but it caused all sorts of problems when it came to tiling around it. It’s probably the most amateur part of the job I did:(

[@TonyVM775]

You have to plan it out before hand. When the old shower is demoed you just determine roughly where the top of you pan tile will be mark a line and figure out the best height for the niche. Doesn’t have to be perfect. You can be off a 1/4 or so and adjust your tile accordingly.

[@StudPack]

Yeah a little of both. We installed the niche just above our grab bar blocking (as low as we could) then adjusted the tile layout to accommodate the niche. Hope that makes sense 👊

[@dirkg7062]

@@StudPack Thank you.

Excellent work and education guys, great editing and music added. You guys are total pros.

You are very good at teaching! Easy to understand, logical progression, even explaining the reasonings, using a minimal amount of words! Great job!!!

So happy I found your channel. Great content and love the thorough explanations. We're building a house right now and these are super helpful for the jobs I want to tackle myself.

Props to Jordan for the camera work (and Paul, you're part was just fine). But I am most impressed with the evolution of Jordan's production skills in assembling the finished video. Great job guys!

I really appreciate your videos. We had two bathrooms remodeled to include walk-in showers using the Schleier Kerdi system. The videos really helped me to know what to look for. Plus, we have another house in need of replacing a cheap manufactured walk-in shower enclosure. I am confident I could take on this project using the same system. It may not turn out as great looking as yours or the ones the pros doubt I can get it to be close enough for a third bathroom in an older home. Thank you!!!

Loving this series guys!

[@alansmith2693]

Stud pack to the rescue...again. I've been putting off the tiling of my shower because it's kinda intimidating. Not anymore. Your tips and advice are so valuable. Now let's get this shower done.

[@leanoraspadaro9491]

This was a great video that covered so many things one may encounter and u gave great tips to tile through them. Bravo and thanks.

Best vid explanation ive seen to keep things clean a level

[@tepidburrito2436]

I have a tradition of watching the home shows on PBS. I've seen around 10 of your videos, but this video proves to me your details are the perfect mix of pace and instruction to have the best outcomes in my project. ps, I'm 1 year now as a handyman professionally in California. Keep them coming, gentlemen. I'll be looking for a way to support your stellar content.

Love your patience with your son and us learning

Seeing you two work together reminds me of me and my dad back in the day. You all work together so well together. I'm sure they're are days when Jordan is on your nerves about something and the other way around. But I believe those are very few and far in between. Cherish your father Jordan, he's a master at his trade, and leaving a legacy for you. Also thank you for this series, I have never done tile, and will be tackling it this summer in my own house. Thank you for bringing up some memories.
