Tile Over Tile. VERY BAD IDEA? 👎 Lowes Eco Prim Grip. WINNI DIY

Показать описание

Should you ever tile over tile? Most pros will tell you absolutely NO! I do not agree with that. I do think that it is 100% ok for you to do this under the right circumstances.

First thing you need to do is to make sure that your floor or shower system is sound and has no leaks! Next you will need to use Mapei eco prim grip from lowes. That is the best primer that you can get that is out there right now.

Here is the link for it.

Also you see me use Rubi tile leveling system! To me that is the best tile leveling system that is out right now! The cheapest place to buy it right now is at THE TOOL LOCKER. All my other tiling tools are also there in WINNI LOCKER. Sign up to their Wholesale club to get huge discounts 🔥🚀💰

Eco Grip is fantastic stuff. 35 yr + tile installer here. Tiling over tile can work if substrate is concrete & age of existing tile shows no movement or loose tile👍

I've done a few tile over tile jobs.25 year tile guy here AND when My own bathroom tile was outdated I went over my OWN tile in My Own bathroom because If the original tile is Installed correctly Then it's structurally safe to go over correctly. Backsplashes especially.

Thank you for still making a video for us who kinda "need" to tile over tile.

I did the same thing with some floating LVT over ceramic tile. Primed it with Prim grip, patched all the grout lines, sloped into the other rooms. Much easier than chipping up all the ceramic tile that was installed before the cabinets. My clients were very happy!

I have used this product to tile over existing backsplashes. The reason I would not recommend tilting over floor tile is because tile over tile is going to raise the height of your floor considerably, and if your are going to do that you need to make sure you don't create more problems like the floor being to high for the exterior doors to open. you don't want your tile higher than the threshold of your exterior doors. so just be aware of such spots and make sure your floor isn't getting to high in critical places where you could create additional problems.

Yes, after trying to remove a few tiles nearly broke my wrist they were that stubborn. Found out about the prim grip and worked great, very happy as wife was smiling as well😅

Man I’m glad I found this video, I was going to sand my existing tile to get a bound that way but this will save me the hassle

I did a counter top with 12x12 Tiles my wife wanted. she hated the tile after it was down along with the 12x12 grid from the Grout lines, so knowing I put the tiles down and they was done right, and that its a counter top that doesn't get walked on, I laid 24 x 48 tiles using Eco Prim Grip along with a heavy tile thin set, and would 100% recommend it. Great video by the way! just the facts and leave it to the individual to decide, and the rest of the haters don't have to worry about it. there are several factors doing a Countertop on top of old tile that it can affect, ( back splash, type of sink, and even plumbing could be affected.)

Did this in bathroom, the floor was perfectly done so it was easy. I primed tiles and did everything standardly... Still holds

I tile over tile just for the look. I chose to tile over the builder grade tile in my showers because the walls where straight and in good condition. I used mortar with poly. I’ve had them for three years in both bathroom and both showers are strong and looking good with no problems. I would not do this if is a short term thing since it will be a lot more work to remove.

Can you demonstrate how to do this for a shower wall and extend the tile height to the ceiling?

I removed a large real fireplace and replaced it with a 6 linear electric fireplace. The hearth is the issue. It's built up a couple of inches with tile being the finish on top. I thought of putting say a 3/4" piece of plywood down on the tile and then putting the new tile over the top of the plywood with bull nose tile on the sides and front edge. But could I use something like a generous amount of liquid nail to hold the plywood to the old tile? It's not like it's going to be walked on a lot. Your thoughts on that. You know removing all of that old brick which had flagstone on top was a pain for sure. My wife just got the entire house cleaned up because of all the dust. She's not anxious to see me make another mess by removing that tile.
