Such good info! Thank you! Tileing (and renovating) my whole downstairs myself,
I feel so much more confident after watching this!

Quick tip: You should always trowel parallel with the shortest side of the tile. Not like you’re doing here. Makes it easier for the air to escape.

Great video. Really love the quick cadence. We can always rewind if we miss something.

Fantastic tips! Your advice on laying floor tile is incredibly practical, especially for those of us with no prior experience. I found the pointers on spacing and leveling particularly helpful. Thanks for making it seem so manageable!

One thing i didnt see mentioned during the video (unless i missed it) is the arrows on the back. I found out the hard way that its a very important process to follow if you want your tiles to be leveled at each intersection. A friend of mine explained me that it is due to the press process when the times are created. Sometimes, they can be a little concave. I started without following the arrows and noticed that almost all the intersection had about a 1mm difference between times. In the middle of the installation, i decided to follow the instruction, and surprise. Everything went a lot smoother

Overall a great video. The floor looks lovely. I've only done a few of these jobs now but one thing ive learned is that youre supposed to move the tile to fully collapse the ridges. By doing so, you won't have any voids underneath the tile which leaves it susceptible to breaking easily or coming loose in the event of subfloor movement from settling.

I'll give it a go! A medium sized kitchen, hallway and small bathroom to do. I'll check back in 2 months when I'm done. Not that it'll take 2 months 😂, I've still a lot of prep to do in advance.

Another thing I've found about tiling is that the lighter colored grout looks nice, but will require more maintenance in the future. Nice job, it looks good.

[Michael-AUS]

Nice job. And it was your first go too!

[TommyBoy--]

I have a HUGE job ahead of me and I’ve never laid tile before and I’ll be on my own so I’m trying to get all the advice I can! 😬

This did help since this year i'm attending my 1st of 5 years in tile setting school.
