Herringbone pattern explained, most common mistakes for begginers

[@johnbeckwith1361]

Great video, I've been setting for 30 years and about to add a 40" wide, 8' tall glass tile herringbone waterfall in the center of a 9' wide shower using 3x9's and this video helped sharpen my game plan.

[@ryancoulter7681]

This pattern is just now becoming popular in my area so I haven't done a whole lot of installations. I always thought the center should be at the points but now that I've done a few I understand what you are saying with centering in between the points. I will use this info on my next project.

Good luck 👍🏽

I need a whole video on wrapping. Lol. About to start my small kitchen and I never even thought about that. Thank you so much

[@JB_58008]

Very informative! Great things to think about. I didnt think anybody else did that trick with short side tile equaling long side. And that wrap makes or breaks a job imo. Good stuff man!

[@ioanthomas4299]

You are the only one I watched that shows just putting a set square against the surface will show up whether you are going off line .thank you I will be using that tip . Welsh girl on my day off preparing my mind for my tiling ahead of me . Thank you from Wales UK.

Did you pull it off, would you recommend beginners try this pattern on their own?

[@melindamercier6811]

That last tip was especially helpful! Great video!

[@johne8907]

I like to prelay the tile on the floor and precut works well just make sure your measurements are good

[@OBFTILE]

Definitely makes for a better looking installation when you pre cut everything and can see your mistakes before is stuck to the wall

[@raulduke6953]

If shower tray is level and the vertical internal corner in my installation is plumb ( they are ) can I not trust 45 degree cuts to get started once I have my master tile positioned or do you both still recommend a dry layout and pre cut edges first . I find it can be a little less exact when laying out tiles that arr not stuck and moving around slightly? I haven’t tiled this way before and would probably go with what you think best for first time

[@1988TheHitman]

Definitely 👌🏼

[@billm.8220]

Having a speed square is a must if you want to do a herringbone pattern. Counter tops must be level. Otherwise, I’d be starting over. Do it right the FIRST time.

[@frankielopez707]

Thanks for the great tips! Great video!!!

[@Chipobravo]

Gracias for this great informative video. I'd saw a mistake in an installation today.

[@woodswanderer2489]

This is a very helpful video. Thank you so much for posting.

[@OBFTILE]

Youre welcome

[@oldtimeshortsHub]

The easiest way to find the true centre is just to centre the tile width ways at the end of the tile then centre the wall and it will be perfect.

[@jeremythompson0306]

Can you make a video about rapping the wall, inside & outside

[@ubaldoramirez9453]

Hi Óscar! One of the best topic's... Could you explain the video in Spanish? I wonna share it with my friends In PROADI México. I'm sure they will be greatfuls for.

Thanks best help i found

Great video 👍 I’m currently running up against a problem with the runoff issue, but I’m building a fireplace with non-divisible bricks. I’ve learned that when you apply this to brick, which is way less perfect than tile (in terms of perfect edges and sizes), you have to just go by eye and make sure the joints are relatively even, and let the runoff, from center, go where it will. And when you turn the corner, you have to reverse the orientation of the pattern on the next panel in order to keep the joints intersecting where they meet in the corner. The corner pieces will shrink or grow as you move up the wall, depending on the pattern orientation, but the joints will stay in line. At least that is what I’m hoping is true 🤞 Do you have any advice on this? Have you ever done a herringbone with semi-irregular dimensioned tiles that were non-divisible?

[@OBFTILE]

no advice really, if your pieces are non divisible they will "walk ", I guess you could trim/cut the pieces to make them a divisible length but that would be really time consuming. Only the right client would pay for such job

[@Sele81]

Very helpful.

[@wheres_bears1378]

Do offsets need to be marked if each piece is cut at a 45 degree angle? Or can you line a cut 45 degree angle with the Center line

[@geezerfender1264]

Soooooo useful! Thank you!

[@STII98]

They dont use spacers?

[@tonis4076]

Are we supposed to leave a gap between coutertop and backsplash?

[@billm.8220]

Leave about 1/16-1/8 in. gap & apply proper silicone to allow for expansion/contraction. Otherwise the grout & possibly the bottom tiles will crack.

[@jeffweber8244]

*beginners. I liked that last example of moving the center line to the center of a tile.

[@yassocolorado]

Great explanation bro, thanks a lot
