Bathroom Tile Test with Marbles in Japan

Look, these people are scattering marbles on the bathroom floor. There is an important reason for this. In Japan, they conduct a slope test by scattering marbles on the floor after tiling the bathroom. All the marbles must be completely collected at the drain cover. If they are not, the construction is considered unsuccessful because even the slightest defect in the tile can lead to water leakage, causing mold and structural damage. Have you ever tried this?

I love how these people just add “in Japan” to every YouTube shorts as if this happens every time in Japan and as if other countries don’t test for slopes lol

[mickusrobertson]

In Australia those marbles would scatter like the expansion of the universe 😂

>"Have you ever tried this?"
Do I look like the type of person to try this?

Its China. In Asia they dont all use bathtubs. The whole bathroom is the shower. It makes bathrooms easier to clean.

My father was a tile center for 30 years. There's something called a level because using marbles when the jobs completely done would be a little too late to fix it

Bro it’s Chinese why y’all keep mistaking Japanese and Chinese🤷

[samuelkelly]

Bro this ain’t Japan it’s China I can tell by the house 😂😂😂

Edit: first, RIP my notif. Second, squat toilets are usually only in public restroom in places like Shanghai. Third, China isn’t underdeveloped, Japan is. Rlly, pls go to shanghai. What u r thinking is the west side of China which no one rlly goes to.

In America, after we've applied the hot mop and seal everything, we run water to see if it leaks.

I’m Japanese and this is not about Japan. See the toilet for example. We don’t have this type of old fashioned toilet but instead ours are so-called “western style”with a (often automated) lid with a control/ function panel. Most of our bathrooms are made as a unit so everything is usually pre-made.

I love this idea. It allows for a very wet mop and squeegee, without the worry of stagnant water and mold. My dream bathroom. 🚽 🚿 🛀

Mckeegan doing God's work on a weekly basis. Love your channel man. ❤

Why are you western people so afraid to give credit to China, and instead say Japan

[chrisbaldwin]

Yeah we test our pitch in America too lol

[aishag]

That's an impressive slope towards the drain 👏 My tiler wasted our money and messed up making that level, now the water stands everywhere in the wet room. Have to use a wiper after a shower 😢

Meanwhile, the floor when you take a bath: ↘️ ↘️ ↘️

This is clear in China.
I live here and I see this type of videos all the time.

If there are marbles in my bathroom it means I had a fun Saturday night.
