Matching the inside tiles looks AMAZING, definitely gonna use that idea

Great video, I didn't know about the border edge part so I had to run to the local hardware and get that set up before laying the tiles down. Good thing I watched the vid first lol

Excellent work. I love using that blade. Are use it on my channel sometimes! Thanks for the video!

[EvanCarrollTheGreat]

incredible job. insane attention to detail thumbs up.

[jakegarcia]

if you have a dewalt wet saw, use the miter stop and do your cuts on there with a decent blade. i use a tsunami plus blade and it cuts like butter.. and no dangerous kick back.

Soooo helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[tomintexas]

I like my deep cut porta-band for profiles

[hypetekauto]

Hi thanks for the quick and helpful video, my question is do you add grout between the tile and the trim pieces?

[evysmartin]

Its crazy how different people install tile up north. Florida is so incredibly different.

[hotcheesesoup]

Beautiful job man. I just did a niche almost polar opposite. It kicked my butt. Did the back wall of niche then the top then sides then bottom of niche with 3/8" schluter edge on 3/8" tile. It was death. I wish I had 7/16 schluter but after looking it up there is no polished aluminium 7/16". Which I find super odd. Anyway it was brutal. Also makes having perfect square large format tiles on the wall difficult.

Why did you grid down the area over the support legs on the side tiles but not the top or bottom tiles?

[phillippettit]

That looks great
I am doing hexagon...
Wish me luck

[adrianarnold]

Good tips. Didn't consider cutting down the first inch.

[clumpkin]

Looks great. I think it looks better than the ones designed to start on a full tile!

Do you butt the metal trim directly against the surrounding tile? Do you need to then seal the seam around the metal where it meets the surrounding walls?

[johnmorrison]

Good job, but I don’t like the notched corners around the niche ☹ cheers

[tonyr]

Awesome job! Was that a negative rake blade you used to cut the metal profiles or just a standard 60 or 80T blade?

Some input if possible. Ive attempted a miter cut on bullnose trim for my niche and no matter what I do it ends up not being right. The tile ends up too far below or above the trim. Question: When measuring the trim, am I measuring from the outside edge of the trim or inside edge. I would really appreciate some detail instructions on exactly how and where to measure on both the niche and trim. Thank you
