SPLITTING THAT DOOR JAM FOR THE PERFECT LAYOUT,,,,100% ITALIANO CHARACTERISTICS!! Paisano

[@Halfdead211]

Fa get about it…Don’t make me hunt you down…Tie you up with Schluter strips,silicone your ears shut than slowly wax off your eyebrows with some hot Ardex #9 baby!And if anyone else has something smart to say about my grout lines they’ll get a trowel where the sun don’t shine!

[@gotshun]

Always layout your tile first. Great advice Sal. I like to know what my tile is doing before I lay it down. Thanks Sal for all the vids. I learned a lot from you.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Thanks for watching my video.

[@splanzza]

What is the purpose of horseshoe spacer in addition to leveling clips? Hope you don’t mind sharing. Trying to decipher the trick but no success. 😳 As always, a true lesson in Sal’s video. 👍

Beautiful

The Master,,,

[@Halfdead211]

And that’s how it’s done right!I can lay out a 20x20 slate floor before that Starr Tile bumb got his curb prepped!His story has more holes than his pan liner..fa get aboud it..This really all started after I caught Bob in the bathroom snorting grout at the company Christmas party …

[@micahned]

Another great video! How did you decide where to place the first tile and why was it not on the first row? Thanks again from a fellow professional, your instruction helps me be more efficient

[@SalDiBlasi]

I had a chalk line where I put down the first tile. Always do a layout first.

[@NMcCauley]

Hi Sal, Nice work! If I were to use 24x24" porcelain tile in 10x6' laundry room, how many of those anti slippage T-LOCKS would do I need ?

[@dewarmckinlay4844]

Great video, How long did it take for you to do this floor in total?

[@JoeJoe-yp4xz]

😮

[@2552Zeus]

Sal Im curious as to have you ever used the twist or push leveling systems that are reusable?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Yes, i prefer the wedge system.

[@richardvoyageur]

Didn't go with clips on the verticle lines Sal? Going in the corners good enough for that tile & clip combo?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Floor was flat, tile was high quality, minimal clips needed.

[@pjhoodless]

Why not start at the wall and work towards the door. Great work again sal.

[@napolitanotile2919]

He is heading towards the door,That's the hallway behind him!

[@Pedro.Chapps]

300x600 aint a large tile now days there more of a standard size, Nice Job As always Sal👍

[@rob107]

How do you know where to set the tile in the next row after the first tile you set? Seems like any marks make on the floor would be covered by thinset. Thanks man, love your videos, I could just use some tips!

[@SalDiBlasi]

That's why I precut the tile.

[@rob107]

And then what you just make sure the edge of the tile lines up that’s closest to the wall and know you’re good to go? Thank you

[@geraldgrantz8205]

How is transition at the moment door going to be addressed. Saddle ?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Oak threshold

[@tonycrap2376]

Hey Sal!. Mate do you charge by the square metre, or whatever you use over there!! Like should I measure it out with my feet!!? 😝. Or do you charge by the hour!??

[@SalDiBlasi]

Overall price to do the job, whatever time and materials I think it will take and then add in my profit and expenses. If you are not doing the same you are not making money.

[@FS-vh7mf]

How did you have those tiles precut

[@MB031]

He lay them dry first before video..lol

[@mesposito1625]

Hi Sal, I have a similar situation to this video and I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to get a full tile at the door without tiling myself into the back of the room. But I notice you didn’t do a full tile at the door. Would you say the norm is a partial tile at the door like you did here? I’m totally stuck on this. Thanks!

[@SalDiBlasi]

Depends on the layout of the bathroom. I often do full tiles at the door. Do an accurate layout, dry lay and cut in the tile if you have to. Start at the back wall and work your way out. If you are afraid that you will miss, lay it out so you have an inch cutoff at the door.

[@mesposito1625]

Thanks Sal. Makes perfect sense. By the way thought you may get a kick out of this. I called mapei technical support a while back to ask a question on a specific thinset and the conversation turned into general tiling tips. She then said if you go on KZbin, search for a guy named Sal Diblasi and just follow everything he does. No lie. I told her I’ve been watching your videos for years and she started laughing.

[@SalDiBlasi]

😊Thanks I know a lot of people in the industry.

[@ofishimas]

I wonder if his spacers are slightly thicker so the arches break clean . Otherwise , why the need for both ?

[@ofishimas]

Thank you for all you do for us Sal ! !

[@laurenfitzsimons9493]

How long did it take in real time to lay all the tile in this video?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Floor was quick, half a day, mix thinset cut, set, clean up.

[@kenofthesea]

First

[@warrencaughill7683]

I guess Not really large format now though.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Large format tile is defined as any tile having one side longer than 15"

[@Halfdead211]

Hey Warren let’s see you try it tough guy!Ill roll you up in a hot mop ,silicone your ears shut,put spacers between your toes (The big ones) then feed you nuttin but used grout water for a week!And if I have to take it there I’ll call in buddy Bob from Start Tile and we’ll take turns spanking you with trowels and grout sealer till you can’t take it anymore!

[@WaltMoorhouse]

Would be nice if he explained any damn thing he was doing

[@SalDiBlasi]

Check my channel lots of tutorials.

[@Sean-zr7vs]

Personally, this is perfect, good music and no annoying antics just watch and learn.
