Large-size Slabs Tutorials #2 - Install and grout

[@TheBaldyheed]

They are all porcelain tiles, if you are DIY don't even bother trying you will end up costing yourself thousands.... I have been tiling for 13 years and I wouldn't attempt this without the aid of someone who has experience with it. Very specialised work and much more to it than meets the eye.

[@josephdestaubin7426]

Ya, I'm 26 years in, with my share of marble and granite slab work, both 2cm and 3cm, and I still wouldn't attempt this shit without getting serious training. You're comment was spot on.

[@andriiprychepa7023]

If you DIY don't try any tiles , first time result will be the same horrible

[@msquaredtile2870]

Unfortunately they are only showing you the finishing parts, not all the necessary prep work. I do these installs regularly and it is not as quick as they make it look.

[@Alastairmellon]

I've done them several times and the work is all in the preparation - surprisingly easy but buy the right tools from Granit Fiandre

[@hassanahmadi8076]

Dude check project x slabs. We been doing this with 2 people per job sight. These dude got a whole ass 4 people and all those supplies lol.

[@conn3r81]

great video, very stunning work! just for the sake of a scenario, is there ever any issue with adding that much weight to a room structurally?

[@nathanma4273]

It is absolutely stunning

[@verlagdashofer5000]

Holly shit... 100 000 $ tiling job right there...Perfection...for milionares..

[@ahmedao3733]

Amazing work and really clean most construction workers will make a big mess and the marble will be dirty

[@eee3400]

when they knocked out the plastic clips, pieces of plastic remain embedded in the mortar. compromises the bond between tile & substrate.

[@RJ-iy4es]

Do you have removal of slab videos as I am wondering how do you remove a slab without damaging the marble.

[@andriiprychepa7023]

Ok , question , you dropped your coffee mug on the floor , you always keep two three tiles leftover for such an occasion . If they are small and can change tile . What you going to do if they are big ?

[@mohamedatia8613]

Don't have coffee at home :) or have in paper cup

[@lclaw4233]

What adhesive/glue was used for the wall slabs?

[@BODGE71]

The marble effect tile on the wall - Is this manufactured by Mirage SpA? Is it a porcelain tile or ceramic tile? Is it a statuario or carrerra effect?

[@mirageitofficial]

The large-size slabs in this video are Mirage porcelain tiles. In details, for this tutorial we used Jewels collection: JW 06 Fumo di Londra for floor JW 12 Statuario Lunensis for wall

[@johng9562]

Sheer misery working with these gargantuan tile. The cuts have to be so precise and then there is lippage, which is a fight from beginning to end. These tile cost more money and time to install, and the tools required are EXPENSIVE ~ no thanks.

[@Hajjat]

For pros out here, anyone has recommendation for the glue/adhesive used for the walls? Couldn’t find anything on Home Depot (class T, EN 12004)

[@efrainmurillo4052]

Where y’all got the glue for the wall?

[@Hajjat]

Hey did you get an answer regarding the glue/adhesive used for the wall?

[@efrainmurillo4052]

Nothing yet

[@Hajjat]

@@efrainmurillo4052 bummer, I am doing the same investigation for a similar project

[@nathanma4273]

Is there any way to make the grout less visible?

[@alatasksksk2805]

Im here for my interior class and gotta say, my favorite part was where they just swung those hammers freely its so fun to see :D

[@kl9080]

What should be the gap between floor porcelain tiles. ??

[@rahulkushwaha8051]

Could you please tell. Me the rate. Of these types. Of tiles. Fixing in per meter square

[@vicliu8723]

hello friend, we have same as video tiles, welcome向右 右边 www.alibaba.com/product-detail/RAFFO-Big-Laminam-Calacatta-Thin-Slab_62506696935.html?spm=a2747.manage.0.0.799d71d2Hx6vx8

[@SUL-KSA]

how did cut the edge in 45 degree? it's not thick slab

[@TiViD]

You just have to do an outside mitre. For normal size tiles you can achieve it with a diamond blade on an angle grinder and some polishing wheels. These guys probably used cnc

[@leosf9751]

Can somebody please tell me what happens or what do I do if the wall is uneven???

[@mirageitofficial]

The substrate must be as uniform as possible to avoid "voids" formation under the slab. The larger the slab, the more uniform the substrate must be.

[@scrapon]

replace the wall

[@khushbupatel1870]

is it a tiles or a marble ?

[@angelodavi1825]

khushbu patel porcelain if you like if like it wonder how it looks when it’s all said and done out my Instagram😊

[@dilnip]

What you do for wall corners (90 dgree corner) gap between tiles... Grout it or use any other material...

[@Chris11249]

Epoxy grout or epoxy, color it to match your desired color

[@Chris11249]

And cut more than 45 degrees, cut 50-55 degrees miter to give room to work with.

[@nadiaboudane485]

Nice n clean job

[@scrapon]

Im gonna do my house next weekend🤑

[@PhantomofTheOctagon]

What kind of level?

[@lulutileguy]

nice work except i never mitre edge of porcelain my personal view weakens it i go with a listell here high end install that it is, up to designer to decide

[@joeligreen]

Not if you resin your mitres. Stronger than the original porcelain.

[@Chris11249]

@@joeligreen Yeah good Epoxy is key, and don't do a 45 degree miter do a 50 degree to give more room to work with and get the epoxy deep in there. Also leave a few mm edge so it's not too thin and round out the epoxy outside of the edges and it will be fine. Granted I would not do this in certain areas of a hotel lobby.. Too easy for a bellman to smash the cart into the edge of it by the elevator etc.

[@santijim1]

El mejor adhesivo...Mapei. !!!!
