3' x 6' Subway Tile Backsplash : Full Tutorial, Labor Time, Tools & Materials.

In this episode, Craftsman Connection will be installing 26 square feet of 3" x 6" White subway tile 0100 back splash from DalTile, and applying the Arctic White Grout. We prefer to use a 3 x 6 bullnose tile with the bullnose on the 3" side for the end of all the back splash tile runs where it doesn't run into a wall or cabinet. Change kitchen wall tile.

This tile install took 2 days to install the 26 square feet of tile and apply grout.

You can rent a wet tile saw from Home Depot for $64 plus taxes and fees, per day.

Nice. Please space your first row of tile at least 1/16" above the countertop. Thanks, granite/quartz countertop guy.

Found your video because I just installed the Daltile bullnose and field 3x6 in my shower. Bullnose was 1/64” to 1/32” shorter and wrecked all the spacing. Glad you were able to get them to work.

It amazes me how people make it sound so expensive. I rented the wet tile saw. Twenty bucks for 4hrs. I had my cuts ready pre-rental, then cut. Returned the saw and installed it at my leisure.

Nice! How much does labor typically cost for something like this? And how many hours did you use

[nittygrittykitchen]

Do you need concrete board or can you just put it on top of Sheetrock?

[robbieroche]

i personaly would have ran it straight tru behind the fridge less cuts and even size tiles but still great job

Should towel the other way. You'll be able to make it flatter ... Always trowel short side.

Uh... why no apacers/level clips, or a schluter edge? And ceramic/percalain dont need a wet saw. Those 14 inch tile cutters at home depot is only $24
