  • excellent video and outstanding installer. i noticed that you have on the floor full sheets but then you have a row of tile cut in half along the left wall. is it a better practice to cut the left and right side end rows of tiles versus only one row. i thought that was considered tacky?

  • @djkingpersia Since the tiles are so small (2"x2") you really can't see the difference.

  • Hi great video but I have a question my shower has been gutted to the studs and floor the floor is concrete and sloped corectly but I'm not sure what to do next to the floor put on the membrane fill with mud and slope it then put thinset on top and tile thanks for any info

  • @bsl3216 If the pre-slope is already there, then all you need to do is install the membrane, add a final layer of mortar (maintaining the slope) andthen tile (using thinset for fastening the tiles). You didn't mention if the adjustable drain was in. I'm assuming it was.

  • What's the cost for someone to do this for me if I buy the tile, mortar, and backboard? It's for a shower size like the one you installed tile on. Thanks, any feedback appreciated. Looks easy but I'm not a hands on guy.

  • @renedelafuente123 It depends upon the size of the shower, but expect to pay at least a couple of grand.

see all

  • @HomeAdditionPlus i hope no one already asked that question, but is it a bad idea to start the floor tiles before to wall tiles so water will slide on the wall and cant go between wall and floor tiles because wall tiles would be on top of floor tiles ? thank you ! excellent videos !

  • ceiling ???

  • Good step by step instructions. I wanted to get your thoughts about some products to waterproof the shower. We usually recommend a waterproof wall backer like Wedi or Kerdi. For the joints we like to use urethane grout vs. standard sanded grout for improved waterproofing capabilities and for the base we like either a waterproof expanded or extruded polystyrene. What do you think of these products & approaches?

  • great video. Thanks
