Porcelain tile slabs - how to install them

[@craftsmanwork.John.Calderon]

Thanks man that’s the way things should be explained clear AND LOUD NO BULLSHET SIMPLE BUT RIGHT TO THE POINT

[@551Newf]

Very cool. I like that you don't come off as an expert, but instead, admit you are sharing what you learned. I like that you obviously take pride in the knowledge gained, and would certainly hire you because you obviously care about the details, and that really is where the devil lies. Good job sir!

[@scottbradley7591]

Just learned a ton of information in 10 minutes! Thank you for the time you took to make this video.

[@surffish386]

nice video, just saw these at my local floor and decor in daytona. im a tile contractor and stopped in for a grout float and saw slabs right away

[@jasminecommercemusic]

Great info! Thanks so much! This helps explain the pricey quotes for porcelain slab installation, even though the material is the same as regular porcelain tiles.

[@huntermark1160]

Great advice. My wife found 4'x4' tile at floor and decor and wants to use them to do backsplash in our remodeled kitchen. I don't want to mess with it myself. I guess I need to find someone with your ability in my area of Florida to help us out. I will make sure they know what they are doing. Thanks for the advice.

I have the right guy for you

[@randygerman2176]

Thanks for this video. I had been wondering about this product and now know it’s not for me with my budget. Definitely no room for halfassery installation.

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

Large glazed porcelain tiles are here to stay. It’s beautiful and less grout lines and elevated my home to look more elegant. 👍🏻

[@billderinbaja3883]

Great video! Details of installation from a craftsman... priceless. I am a GC with lot's of custom home experience, but I have a new challenge (new for me)... a client who wants a porcelain slab countertop with a "waterfall" island end. They also want zero-grout joints. I've never done a "waterfall" and I have a few questions on how to blend the countertop nosing with the visible edge of the waterfall. If this is something you are willing to discuss, I'll send you a sketch to illustrate the issue. The slabs the client like are not too big... 30" x 60", so easy to handle.

[@Chris11249]

I wouldn't put a porcelain slab countertop. You ever seen porcelain tile after a few years and how the feet of chairs wears off all the color on them? Not sturdy. Plus what if someone puts something super hot on it, or drops a cast iron pan on it? No way. Granite for the top and the waterfall only. Or something else similar, that's at least an inch thick natural stone!!

[@davymiller3298]

Yes please be careful guys with porcelain tile. I was installing a 2'x2' tile about 3 weeks ago, my suction cup failed, it fell and broke and cut the tendon in my thumb.

[@OBFTILE]

Holy crap, I hope you feel better soon

[@dd_channel6433]

but you were installing it yourself by carrying it with two suction cups? You didn't use this support with rails and suction cups?

[@tillmansr2002]

Great video, for slabs on walls are crack-isolation membrane ever recommended to reduce the chance of a slab crack after installed (Aquadefence, Redguard, etc)?

[@victorsanchez7779]

Hi thanks for the information, what would you say average square foot price to install panels is?

[@marcelocorrea3612]

I think around $30 a foot

[@jenniesmythe8188]

I love the slap. I think it could be a great idea as an island top but that’s just me

[@chaser4251]

Super good video on this man thanks. I have a bathroom I put my guys on and the clients want these. You have any install videos of the process? This will be our first large tile. Saw them at floor and decor too and thought they were bad ass.

[@porcelainpanelpro]

Thanks for getting the word out on porcelain slabs. If you need any detailed tool reviews make sure to check out what Ive put out. Many of the Rubi tools have been reviewed.

[@mariamwaseemi1213]

Honestly, best explanation !!!

[@omerkagankartal5985]

Hey Boss, what kind of course did you take ? I am located in Ottawa, Ontario

[@Jac-Z-o2k]

I’m about to tile it bathroom with 3’ x 6’ tile. It’s only a quarter inch thick and it has a good quarter inch to 3/8 of an inch bow in the middle. Is that something I can try to flatten or would the tile just snap when I try flattening it since it’s so thin

[@No--0--Spin]

I want to use one of the 48x104 slabs for an island top seating 6 people...is that a good idea as far using these? any caveats? Thanks

[@surffish386]

who did you take this class through?

[@olayinkaafolabi168]

Great video and well explained, I feel I can do this but I will like to do the training.. please what’s the training center called

[@porcelainpanelpro]

Look up ntca

[@skyb5299]

I wanna do porcelain tile countertops. Is it a horrible idea?

[@OBFTILE]

No, if you get someone good they will look great

[@jacoblehman8714]

Why do you have to use the multimax thinset. why not modified cheap thin set

[@handyandy8931]

Can you use it over kerdi board?

[@gcloz13]

Hey bro I'm learning in this business I'm sorry for my ignorance..how much to charge for this type of process.

[@marlynruiz2827]

How do you remove them? I have ones this big in my bathroom and I want to remove them

[@aakp2007]

I got white tile shown in video installed a week ago, slowly noticing thin lines on tile getting cloudy as we walk. What causes that?

[@flovaladez601]

Where can I get training?

[@TripleRTECHali]

Great advice.

[@hypemaneats9134]

AMAZING VIDEO. Super informational

[@ozchalupkova4688]

and thats why, this big tiles are now changed to vinil tiles... no break, no problems...and cheaper

[@OBFTILE]

Good luck putting vinyl in showers

[@samuelmarquez123]

Hoy to cut niches?

[@LRKHL]

What glue to use for those panels?

[@sanaehachi870]

😂 do you use glue to glue wheel to your car? this need cement, laticrete multimax lite around $50 per bag(11.5 kg)

[@SihAza]

Thanks. Great video. Grouting should be much simpler, but otherwise ...

[@refitsandrenovations1725]

Have I got something you are going to love. I installed a 7’6” x 7’4” single slab backsplash. By myself, in less than three hours. You will make bank doing this. And not a single need for special equipment.

[@AmyBaratta]

thanks, that was helpful!

[@wileyearly7051]

Gracias El Capitan. Mui bonito travaho.

[@marcocaiozzo7276]

Do you remember where you took your class at?

[@MegaMeco2]

if we can further out “Porcelain welding “ out that would be great lol

[@bradp5759]

I appreciate the video.

[@RawTakes]

I charge $25 sqft which includes thinset. Installed 4 jobs doing 2x4 tiles. It sucks 😂

[@agentoneonesix]

The Information here will help me like you don’t know.

[@rlopez013]

no reason to go this big and it lost all it cost effectiveness with all the overcomplicated installation. I have a feeling this trend wont be around for long.

[@grrinc]

I've done 2 slab jobs and I'm never touching them again. A complete and utter high risk nightmare. I've recently priced a slab job on house that is being built on the condition that I get slabs in before internal walls go in.

[@rlopez013]

smart man not worth it@@grrinc

[@spudluver47]

Tile is a luxury product, and large tile is extra luxury. After it catches on in high-end builds then moderate builds will follow. The trend has been bigger and bigger for decades, so I don’t see it stopping now.

[@kzkz1263]

They’re the next big thing in Australia cause engineered stone is now illegal 😩

[@bheleu021]

​@@spudluver47agreed... it's just starting

[@danbartstow9829]

Great video straight to the point! I’m the Original Tile Freak! @ $1000 a slab it’s a stressful situation at times!

[@bobjohnson2172]

Thank you.

[@gora876]

It’s not rocket science hombre. It is completely diy possible. Stop trying to make mountains out of a mole.

[@BigDuke6ixx]

It's a nightmare.
