Tiling A Shower Floor With Stone Marble Mosaics

In this video I'll be tiling a master shower floor with basket weave marble mosaics. These can be a bit tricky, but we'll get it done. Thanks for watching, and have a great day!

I thoroughly enjoy your vids! I used to do tile work a few years ago, awesome to watch the pros do it 👍

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Thank you!!

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Such quality craftsmanship Bud!! Always looking on point. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Thanks brother, appreciate the love as always!

Interesting take on the 3D of the shower pan. Troxell makes the best gloves for our trade. 1 pair will last all day. Bit pricey but worth it

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Right on. I have to wear them almost daily, or my hands get bad quick. Grout days especially, but thankfully those are paydays!! Makes up for the pain a bit, hahaha.

[@fursurething8659]

Terrific work as usual.

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Thank you, i appreciate it.

[@chalmerelkins8965]

Nice video.thumbs up.

[@lesbrinson964]

Good stuff Nathan hope Ohio is going well for you and the family !

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

We are enjoying some parts/aspects, and others not as much, but overall, it's nice. Thank you!

[@lesbrinson964]

We moved to North Carolina so it’s definitely a change from Montana

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Oh for sure. The West will forever be in our hearts!

Great video. I thought Schluter specs say minimum 2x2” tiles on the the Schluter shower pan and Ditra heat. How do you account for this with basket weave?

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

The 2x2" spec is for ditra. Over ditra or ditra heat, if you did want to use a small format mosaic, you would fill and cover it first with kerdi fabric.

get yourself a beastmixer! best 150$ you can spend, it seems over priced until you use it for a year! keep the videos coming dude ill watch all of them.

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Got one brother👍 Appreciate it. Working on another now. Hopefully they're getting better the more I make, but time will tell!

[@ryanhamilton3547]

you got a beast mixer?

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Yessir. Quite a while ago 🤙

[@ryanhamilton3547]

I wish I had you working on my floor just had pros in and I could have done better diy.

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

That stinks

[@calebmoos7742]

Just curious: do you ever offset your mosaics so the grout lines don’t fall in a line? I started doing that after seeing some pretty bad grid looking floors and was surprised how well it worked. But then again, I do realize there’s a big difference between the home job and a 16 year veterans work.

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

I have yes, but my OCD usually gets the better of me when I'm cutting it in 😅 Seriously though, it's all dependent on the mosaics. I'll do whatever i have to, to fight sheet lines being obvious on the finished floor.

[@abe0358]

Nice work, do you also prep the walls first or you just tile only?

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

I prep-ish the walls first.. i work with one specific contractor on most of my projects, so have good opportunity to direct the process from start to finish. We communicate excessively, to remain on the same page. Typically they are ready for me to kerdi and go

I am planning on installing a similar marble mosaic tile on my bathroom floor (not in the shower). I know it needs to be sealed and I tried pre-sealing a sample piece with 511 Impregnator sealer. I dipped the full sheet into a tray with the sealer let it sit for about 10 seconds, removed it, wiped off the excess and let it dry. After about 6 hours I noticed some of the tiles had started turning highlighter yellow. I saw someone mention somewhere that this could be from the mesh adhesive. Have you ever experienced this? How can I prevent this from happening to all of my tile? What is your preferred method for sealing marble mosaics on a mesh backing like this? Any advice you could provide would be so appreciated! I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find any solid direction on how to do this properly and I don’t want to ruin all my tile!

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

I'll do my best to point you in the right direction later on. Marble mosaics can be tricky, but there's a FB group or two with good information. Stay tuned

[@annamarnold]

@@NathanTilesTheWorld thank you!!

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

@@annamarnold the best advice i can give you would be to look up pasha starykov on facebook, or maybe google. I didn't check google, but i know he's active on fb. This topic is his specialty.

Where the templates at?

On your seams were thinset is run liquid membrane. Hydroban, redguard, whatever works. Thinset not waterproof and with time will leak. 18 years here doing showers I've tested everything i use. And we're thinset areas on shower floor will fail guarantee you. Ever shower I demo cause of leaks were schulter used fail. Seriously run liquid membrane were seams are you will thank me for it. Schulter company don't do showers so they don't know what really goes on in shower.
