Laying and grouting floor tiles

[@kornelijuskortkiss1243]

brzo i dobro, greetings from croatia🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍

[@lazaruslaptop880]

One of the better vids on laying/grouting tile. Nice music too.

[@PaulKopco]

Thanks. This guy does great work.

[@MaskoftheWraith]

Really got appreciate them smooth even ridges on that adhesive 👌

[@jimmysotack5490]

Nice and neat tile installation 👍

[@rotorway133]

great idea to leave the heavy mud bucket on freshly installed tilles !!!! :)

[@bhtiller]

That bucket was almost empty and I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I know when I ca. and can not set something down

[@drunkmadala]

Thank you, also for music - I had to watch 7 times.....just for music.

[@bebebilog1860]

Thats what you called experienced worker salute

[@noelpelletier]

Maybe, but his music is great! Good job.

[@Doc02864]

I really like how you set the tiles, full weight, rock it in. Many videos show just slapping them down and walk away.

[@KkknnngggrrrzzzareFromNothing]

not a good idea

[@radoljubminic9615]

[@bhtiller]

You need to press them into the mud to get level and get 100% coverage under the tile. If you just slap them down you don’t have the tile imbedded and will adventually pop! 20 yrs experience!

[@luqmanhafidh8914]

It pretty works if you have a 100% flat floor, no need of levelling. But many floors with bumpings you'll need a levelling device

[@bhtiller]

Luqman Hafidh, if you watch, as I’m wiping the mud from the joint with my thumb, I’m also feeling if level or not. Also I have a Tuscan Leveling system if needed.

[@sharifahkhan3609]

You rock bro! I like the way you slither ,,,u r a pro!

[@KS-qn4ru]

Thank you for posting this video! My living room is getting tiled and it was being done wrong. (By some one else) I guess we can now fix it!

[@thomasnovak5943]

Lots of ways to put down tile. The way it is done here is fine, though I would really like to have seen some kind of cement board put down first. That said, if you respond here with what your installers were doing more precisely, I can tell you if they are doing it wrong. 15 years of doing this for a living, here.

[@duin2in]

Thomas Novak hey I would love to know the proper way to lay tile if you'd be willing to take the time to tell me you're method. My wife and I just bought our first home and it's gonna need some tile work

[@duin2in]

Your* stupid phone

[@bhtiller]

There’s cement board down. Mortared and screwed every 6”

[@FuntimePlaytime34]

Thank you bro. You make it easy for me to tile my floors. Two thumbs up to you.

[@trishdavison2819]

The music is great! Thanks. :)

[@PaulKopco]

It was automatically generated by GarageBand on an Apple Mac.

[@spot333]

its about time someone put out a good video with good background music

[@parliman3536]

I like his style.

[@dfjohnson76]

great video.

[@bhtiller]

Lisa, NEVER start in the center, always lay out tile centered, yes. But snap lines, be sure to be square throughout area, and start from one end of the room and work your way out otherwise you'll work urself into a corner n won't finish the room in one day

[@mattk970]

I like that music.

[@BestAccessDoors]

Great job Paul! Will you make another video like this soon?

[@user-xd5zi3kt4s]

So many experts commenting u should have ur own channel

[@kevinsalazar5725]

Mind ur business

[@shawnmiley2354]

Dude that and you are awesome

[@freeqwerqwer]

I like this video not because of the tile thing but because i dig this blues song. Somebody tell me what band this is or song, please!!!!

[@PaulKopco]

Fred MyOpinion As it says in the video description, "Music automatically generated by GarageBand from Apple Computer."

[@aquinojose94]

No cement boards? I see a $1500 fix and redo in the future

[@elizabethmazibuko8612]

like it. learning the trade. I am new & has never done it. hope it will help me . need more help from you out there.

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

wish I could reply to Mrs. Lisa Knowitall below but for some reason youtube is selective on who I can reply to these days. That being said, starting from the center is usually right if you are doing one room but as it appears in this vid, where you have the same tile spanning three different rooms you measure and pop lines so you dont end with ridiculous small or unbalanced cuts from wall to wall or up to the kitchen counter, etc... the best you can. looks like a good job to me. funny I also dont use a mallet and push tiles together to squeeze out the extra mud and have a Brutus cutter.

[@homebuilders7409]

very cool

[@justinsmith6019]

Iv never laid tile but it looks pretty damn simple.

[@mathewrongorongo8841]

good job

[@dmitrikguajardo6006]

i dont use 2 hands thou. i just put a tad more water in my grout.

[@chrisaliguitar]

I would like to see this job last a couple months before cracking and lifting of the ply wood

[@luqmanhafidh8914]

Some people soak the tiles in water for couple of hours. I don't know why, anyone with an idea why they do so?

[@arnoldmanukure7211]

Some of the tile are soo water demanding to the extent that, if u don't soak them in water for a while . And u lay them, it will get dry as soon as u lay it on the spreaded mortar . Which is not good for the job cos the job have to take some hours to dry up so that in case there is any misbehaving of lines shifting u can correct it

[@chickenseat1942]

Did the tile go down directly on the osb subloor? It's been a few years I wonder if the grout has cracked yet.

[@bhtiller]

Has cement board, mortared and screwed down.

[@sheseems]

I don't recommend pressing down so hard on the tile after you lay it down.

[@mattosbourne7944]

+Keith Dobbs He's okay doing this since he's not applying any mortar to the back of the tile before laying down. As long as the ridges on the underside of the tile don't have air gaps, either method works.

[@YoungBossOfficial]

He's not using a level at all? Coz he pressing down so hard.

[@TheRepublicOfBaconEmpire]

😂🤣😂

[@missapple6949]

Please tell is it necessary to soak tiles before laying on floors ? Thanks

[@PaulKopco]

No

[@slouch92]

just wondering if the rubber end of a window washer would work? or do you have to really work it in with a sponge?

[@zemokka2373]

be nice if it was level

[@roelortiz7250]

Is that really the right way on putting grout?

[@dmitrikguajardo6006]

you grout like i do. but thats some easy ass 13x13 tiles. the hard work is those wood look tile planks. i wish they never invented that crap

[@Yellowowleye]

Why didn’t he pull up the base board 😝

[@Jamesbrown-xg1uc]

like the way he moving fast

[@saulpineda2912]

long does it take to do 250 feet

[@Thebrighter]

Woww

[@johnpugh5747]

Why all the neg comment, looks good to me and i have layed many thousands of meter with no problem or call back.

[@rajashekhar550]

May i know the floor name please

[@dmitrikguajardo6006]

ill tell you one thing hes trying to make money and he's on his knees you got to give a man credit at least he aint on welfare.

[@michaelquintana678]

Hi dmetrik i saw you had a comment in the other video...about the tiles

[@Armored11]

Would have been better if you screwed cement board first and then tiles on top.

[@WickedG5150]

Body Of Iron why?

[@dmitrikguajardo6006]

Body Of Iron looks like hes working on concrete

[@dmitrikguajardo6006]

what i see wrong is the way he holds his trough. with his hand backwards. after a few years of that you would stop that habit

[@raadsady7422]

[@floornerdtilecarpentry746]

It's not good to press down so hard thinset comes out the seems.

[@ryanvetos3609]

Spacers are for people that don't know how to split the difference!

[@buckweatboby2240]

Spacers are for people that eanna do the job right. Have fun eye balling every thing. #Worksmarternotharder. you only eye ball when needed.

[@marcopoulin1897]

Thats why your floor are crooked n doesnt ligne wanna be

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

Did you stand over and film the contractor the whole time? think that would be a tad annoying...

[@PaulKopco]

The whole project took a lot longer than 11 minutes and change.

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

good point, but, people can and do edit videos and was more wondering about the standing over him part which you wouldnt have to have been filming to do. By your answer I guess thats a no?

[@PaulKopco]

LetsGoFlyers2011 No -- I did not stand over him while he tiled all 3 rooms.

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

sorry, I do some tile here and there and have had clients who actually do stand over me much of the time. didnt mean to sound like a jerk. nice tile.

[@PaulKopco]

LetsGoFlyers2011 This guy is a friend of the family, so we chatted awhile, but I didn't want to bother him at work so he could do the best job possible without distraction.

[@MrPerales10]

Dam they put too much thin set down and way too much grout like they were painting the tile with the grout. Hahaha😂😂

[@tubesun28]

prefer explaining the action pls

[@KkknnngggrrrzzzareFromNothing]

door is not going to open,

[@PaulKopco]

wrong

[@KkknnngggrrrzzzareFromNothing]

1:13, you might want to look again

[@jahatton]

You would check for clearance ahead of time.

[@panchoyonionsyep]

Most annoying part of a trade....every other person thinks your doing it wrong

[@francescogalati8653]

Bravi sono

[@francescogalati8653]

Puliti ok

[@buckweatboby2240]

and who the fuck starts in the center??!!! WOWWW

[@shaccooper]

I watched the entire video but u don’t remember watching it. The music is so horribly distracting.

[@bobym3430]

ok

[@omegaproductionsable]

What the hell is he doing!

[@cashas11]

get rid of the annoying music

[@KS-qn4ru]

I know right? Its super ANNOYING!

[@JuanFernandez-eu4ft]

Joseph Scotti Cuánto vale un pedazo de granito cuatro pies por cinco

[@jannathan9926]

i doubt those tiles are level

[@PaulKopco]

Tiles were perfectly level -- the whole floor turned out amazing.

[@WickedG5150]

This guy doesn’t know what he is doing. When laying ceramic tile, the subfloor needs to be about 1.5inches thick to stave off flexing. If you don’t do this, the tiles will begin to crack due to flexing of the subfloor. Ask a contractor. Ive been doing ceramic tile for 17 years and never had a customer complain about 1 single broken/cracked tile.

[@jimmysotack5490]

WickedG5150 Forever ..looks like he’s working on concrete.

[@guptraj3]

You might have bothered to explain what and why were you doing things. I don't know how the youtube community is bothering to watch this video.

[@jessicagonzalez1742]

Funky music.

Sorry to say but that method is completely wrong sir your sposed to start in the middle of your room after marking the center and the floor should be clear and the room should be empty

[@thomasnovak5943]

Absolutley not true.

[@marcopoulin1897]

Lisa Thrift you start well ever you wont just square the room miss i dont know the trade
