Is This Shower Trend Coming Back?

[@evervol1]

I think Any style/ combo of tiles as long as it's installed properly and to a good standard looks awesome

[@jw1731]

I think so too. I always thought Anything in any design if done meticulously and looks like it was done on purpose and not an afterthought will look good. Most bad projects out there look that way not because of style because they look like the installer’s heart wasn’t in it.

[@B11video]

Rather than using tile as your spacer, use wood or something soft. Tile can easily chip the edges when you remove the tile spacer. Ask me how I know this .

[@danbartstow9829]

Yeah and he’s sliding a piece of tile over the glass to flatten it and the metal trowel.Use a rubber float, and use float strips to hold the tile up till they dry not pieces of tile. Chip chip chip

[@03rev440]

Exactly, we usually allow 1/8 space when use tiles as our temporary border spacer, use 16th spacer on top and bottom , learned this the hard way

[@tomallen7699]

Beautiful work!

[@Heb101922]

Your jobs always look clean and sharp. This is hard work and you and you partner (your helper) are good at it.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Thanks! and Partner 👊

[@michaeljbreault]

I like to use a piece of ripped down plywood in the area where the accent row is going to keep it spaced properly while I finish the main tile.

[@dannybrazil3986]

I like that idea🤔 as a DIY'er I could of used that advice when installing my single row Mosaic accent border to my custom kitchen counter and backsplash although it turned out nice ,I can see how it would of looked even professional . I'll remember Next time !

Nice job...thanks alot for sharing. Like my downstairs bathroom, window has privacy issues. Sigh.

[@roberthoesch2802]

Do you use Schlueter profiles also when the tiles reach the ceiling?

[@travisk5589]

That was awful risky sticking those 4 inches spaces in there directly on top of and underneath the other tiles with out using spacers. You could have easily chipped the installed tile while pulling out the 4" pieces. That would have sucked bad.

[@LandbergTileTV]

We had spacers on top but not bottom, but yes, a little risky. That crunching sound when they come out makes your eyes squint!

[@johne8907]

The rondec on the window frame looks really nice! Great series on this build! In Michigan we are 10 yrs behind in trends and 1/2 of my customers still want to buy mosaic for a stripe. We also got our first 1/2 kerdi board shipment in almost a year today lol

[@sharoncrawford7192]

It looks like a good amount of thinset was still left in the Listello build up. Did you have to let it set up a while before you installed the trim so thinset would not ooze through the thin joints?

[@utubewatcher360]

great video, but whats the best way to align and secure the outer edge trim over the threshold /curb. Do I screw it in, tape in and then thin set the edging in??? HELPPPPPP!!!! :-) Thank you

[@mikehands61]

A better method is to cement the glass to the Kirdy board first, in full length pieces, then cement the entire assembly to the wall. Gives much better control over depth and flatness.

[@AllBayEveryDay]

Yep! Just measure the length and cut it out the night before. Glue it to the Kerdi board and the next day you can glue entire sections in. Makes it easier and faster

[@jacobmorenzoni1873]

Wish I read this a couple weeks ago, would have saved me some trouble haha

[@vapdivrr5656]

If the glass was straight on the edges that works ok, but because this glass is in and out, imo not something I would do...where do you end and stop glass on the Kerri and what if they don't fit back in perfectly...its like doing a plank floor and leaving out interlocking pieces, they never go back perfectly, either in grid or height...

[@mikehands61]

@@vapdivrr5656 I make the sections larger than I need, then cut to size.

Nice work! A little tense pulling out the 4" cuts! I really hope this trend comes back. I hate large format tile!

[@jakeklassen3702]

When I do accent strips in walls like that, I f I have to build it out, I’ll used ditra or kerdi board, I sometimes even put two more layers of kerdi. I find when I build it out with mortar the tile strips like to sag sometimes.

[@joephillips6634]

Nice. I see that one stray little tile piece though ;)

[@supercleanone8038]

Great job.

[@seanknapp2662]

It is a little dated, but if the customer loves it thats all that matters. And the work looks very clean. I don't mind running that strip vertically on walls. Actually like it. Even offset sometimes. Anything different makes the day suck less. Lol. Nice seeing someone else screed. Sometimes mosaics set on kerdi strips works well to eliminate any ooze. Thanks for the video.

[@djmxlove]

Very good job

[@mr.g937]

Great idea but agreed w/ others that the tile is a textured surface. You could hear the friction of tile on tile movement. Didn't look like it scratched your installed tile but I wouldn't take a chance.

[@danbartstow9829]

I use float strips cut to length…they pop out without the chance of chipping the tiles..

[@rahfahL]

Nice and clean sir

[@symcardnel1741]

Sweet work and video!!! Too many questions... I know :( When you were installing the 1/4 round around the niche I was like 'what is the metal track looking stuff on the back of 1/4 round'? At the end you called in 'peerless round edge"... so is that material painted aluminum? Looked just like the tile to me. Do you caulk or grout between tub/tile and do you caulk or grout corners? When you were installing your first section of "stripe" it looked to me like you installed a board or something to build the glass tile out...did you? Later you used that screed which was awesome.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes, aluminum Schluter Rondec, we always caulk where the tub meets and usually caulk the sides. We build out the stripe usually with 1/4 inch board or Schluter Ditra

[@paulzapol9840]

You can order any kind of window you want at a material supply house. Do t bother with anything from the hardware store they only stock junk. Be prepared for long lead times for windows right now though.

[@erikthompson5992]

Nice job as always! When tiling your niche do your wall tiles sit flush with the inside of the niche or do the wall tiles overhand according to the size of the tile for inside the niche?

[@LandbergTileTV]

We have the tile overhang a little for our trim

[@louish.9414]

I see you using the levtec spacers constantly. Do you like them more than the spin doctors I assume then? I've always found them to break out inconsistently vs the spin doctors.

[@LandbergTileTV]

We prefer a wedge system over spindle

[@markme4]

You should have worn a neon pink cap for this install

[@arnoldsoley3528]

Potential chipping other tiles 😬. I use plywood, or Kerdi Board strips. Screw straight to the studs. I use Aluminum Foil tape. Sticks awesome then others...tub looks wider than 32", or is it the camera amgle? If it is, who sells it? Hard to find in today's world. I prefer Quadec .Good bath job...

[@LandbergTileTV]

Good idea on the kerdi board spacers. Tub is 32, just a wide angle and I prefer quadec or jolly, but the rounded (quarter round look) compliments the travertine tile design and stripe design you would see in 2002

[@Z-add]

How do deal with tile next to door frame. Do you butt up the tile to the doorframe?

Yes, we but up if needed

That existing floor tile looks like the ugly stuff that was in my baths. We replaced it with a porcelain similar to what you used on the shower walls. But, the upstairs baths still have the ugly brownish tile on the floors and bath walls.

[@louish.9414]

Grout party 🥳

[@professorkaos2781]

the best way is to adhere the glass mosaic to the kerdi board or kerdi wrap and install as one piece, not to build out the niche and install that way. Keeps the mosaic completely clean and much easier to keep it flush with existing tile.

[@keywestdonor6954]

I was thinking the same thing. You saved me the keystrokes.
