The shower walls are finished.
The largest tiles are on the walls in the shower and we are moving to tile the feature wall with textured tiles.
Larger the tile sizes, longer it takes.

Mounting resilient channel to the studs without utilizing isolation clips defeats the purpose of the channels all together.
Thank you for chiming in.
Use the SG in every projects but I usually leave the top channel for the glazier so they had some play up top. I usually cut those moulding while I’m doing the SG moldings 3:58 so they’re done the guys. But nice to see someone else using these moldings. I also use them in the floor tile Field.
Thank you for the comment. Please, take a video next time. I'd love to see how other guys do it.
@ love to show my stuff but I don’t know enough about TH-cam to do that. I’m old lol
It is quite simple to post a video. Give it a try.
What kind of tub drain did you use here? Is your tub just going to drain into a normal kerdi shower drain?
For the bathtub we used the island drain and tied it to the membrane to waterproof around it. www.amazon.ca/ITD35-Freestanding-Bathtub-Plastic-Adapter/dp/B016M16DTC
great job
Thank you. It was a challenge.
Sure is getting real now 😉
The baby niche makes its debut!
What screw did you use for the drywall to channel installation? Got an S type screw and it wouldn’t penetrate the hat channel
Hello, I've used regular, fine thread drywall screws, 1 1/4" for the first layer and 1 5/8" for the second. The gouge of the resilient channel is the same as of the metal stud and drywall screws have no trouble penetrating it. What kind of channel do you have?
@@renovationtoperfectionThanks for responding. I have a galvanized steel drywall furring channel from Home Depot.
Drywall screws are designed to go through that without difficulty, just give it a little push. But if you are trying to improve the acoustic of the wall, you should use resilient channel instead. www.homedepot.ca/product/bailey-metal-products-rc-plus-12-ft-resilient-channel/1000165782
@@renovationtoperfectionOkay I will try again with a different drill and maybe some more force. Also, I am using sound isolation clips instead of a resilient channel.
Drywall gun or an impact driver with the drywall bit (so you do not overdrive the screws) should do the job.
Great video! From what I understand, mass is what actually soundproofs and absorption (rockwool, etc.) only does so much (Plus helps with echo). What I don't quite get yet is how mass actually soundproofs. I keep reading about "blocking" sound waves. Or hindering transmission. But doesn't that mean it has to absorb sound in some way? It can't just be reflecting the sound till infinity inside the room. Same thing with mass loaded vinyl - It's very heavy, so it's good for actual soundproofing. But it's also flexible, unlike drywall. How is it actually blocking sound getting to the outside? I keep hearing that soundproofing with mass is a different thing than absorption. Also - When looking at sound proofing drawings, you often see (from the outside to the inside) : A layer of rockwool, then an air gap, another layer of rockwool, another air gap, then 2 drywall layers with a limp layer like green glue inbetween. Why is it in that order with the drywall part being on the inside of the room. Doesn't that mean it's echoing like crazy and you have to get more absorbers? Why not do it the other way around, with the rockwool layers on the inside and drywall on the outside?
Acoustic is a very complicated task to deal with when it comes to houses as the sound travels and reacts with the structure in more than one way. It is not only about the volume, but about frequency as well. There is no silver bullet solution and I did combine all available practices and materials to achieve the wanted result.
@@renovationtoperfection Thanks for the reply!! Indeed - I think you did really well on this!
What was the width of the channel and the width of the glass? I installed 1/2 channel and the glass company is calling for 3/8" glass. Should it be 5/16"
Hi there, I used 1/2" channel as well and the glass is probably 3/8". There is a gap on both sides of the glass when they put it in and as presented, I get my glass guys to shim it in the channel and silicone both sides all around to lock it in place.
Nice!
Much appreciated. Have a great day.
I do duct cleaning and aeroseal duct sealing and pan and joist is just a nightmare to work with. Idk why contractors don't just use tin ductwork for the return in some houses.
I hear you. It's the cost of the full duct installation.
I cannot find one video where someone constructed this type of wall system where they perform a real world test with very loud bass music on the other side of the wall... not one.
Loud bass music wasn't the reason for the project but please, read the pinned comment from the client about the performance. Their problem was children banging the pots and pans on the tile floor behind the party wall.
@@renovationtoperfection Thanks, but I still would like to see/hear a before and after test.
I understand but cannot help you.
I'm loving that bench.
Thank you.
Very impressive Martin 😊
Thank you very much.
I love it when builders/contractors take the time to do something to add to the aesthetic of a space. It looks good, it’s practical and functional.❤
Much appreciated.
Do you still need to do such a "cutout slot" for insertion purposes if you are only doing a channel on the floor and wall, and the glass is not going all the way to ceiling (about 8 inches clearance)? I'm actually about to install my vertical deco-sg channel tomorrow, and I realized I had not thought about the insertion challenge. My panel will be about 32" x 78". I sized the bottom channel at 32.25" to give a little bit of wiggle-room. With the 3/8 inch channel height, I was going to size the vertical channel at 77 3/4", which would give a total interior channel length of 78 1/8". Would this give me enough space to insert the panel, or will it be necessary to have a slot in the tile, or up-size the vertical channel to the full 78", which would leave 1/4 - 3/8" gap at the top, once the glass "falls" to the bottom of the bottom channel?
Yes, you will need a bit of a slot in the tile above the Deco SG on the wall to be able to insert the glass. It is the same situation we had on the project, only in your case it is floor/wall. We had wall/ceiling. I would go depth of the floor channel +1/8" for a little bit of wiggle room. You do not want a chip on the glass when it is too tight to get the glass inserted. When I silicone the glass, I fill the slot above the channel and glass on the wall with silicone as well. It makes the slot almost invisible. Best of luck with your project.
Thank you for the detailed explanation! Really appreciate! Also nice detail from the glass guys doing 45 degree cut for the corner - from the inside it looks seamless.
Thank you for watching my video.
Thank u for the video.
I hope it helps. If you would have any other questions, feel free to reach put.
The ceiling roughin doc does not seem correct. 3-3/4” support from face of bare ceiling joist s. From my tape measure it seems it would bury the decorative flange?? What depth did you set assembly for finished wall
I found over the years that any rough-in instructions are rarely correct and we always try on the trim (decorative flange) to see if it will be the right depth with the finished wall at the rough-in stage.
You are my favorite person for showing the SG-C in action. We’re about to have it installed. How did you handle the waterproofing at that corner and finishing the drywall in the other side? We’re using wedi board. Looks like the wedi will need to go all the way to the corner
Thank you very much for your comment. I was using Schluter, gluing the Deco channel on the Kerdi Board and taping over the tiling flange with the Kerdi band. The channel is flush with the drywall on the corner and I've used Trimtex Tear-away corner bead for a clean finish detail on the drywall and also to plumb the drywall corner in line with the channel (which it wasn't originally). I you are using Wedi, setting the channel on the bead of caulking and than caulking over the tiling flange should handle the waterproofing.
I also took the Jolly edging, cut off the tiling flange and the grout spacer and glue it on top of the Deco SGC. That helped me to have enough depth for the tiles to be flush with the Jolly edging. th-cam.com/users/shorts4kSZR1pfNPY?feature=share
Hello, very nice bathroom! Can u please tell me how u fix the glass on the Schluter Deco Sg Profile? Thank you.
Thank you very much. Deco SG is a U channel installed with the tiles. The glass is inserted into the channel and secured with cleared blocks. Then the glass is sealed in the channel with silicone on both sides. I should make a video about this step.
@@renovationtoperfection Thank u for your response. I would really apreciate if u could make a video about this step.
Stand by. The glass for my current project is coming on the August 22. And it will be a good one. Floor to ceiling glass screen for the shower and 2 piece screen for the bench with mitered corner and set in 2 Deco SG channels - on the bench and on the ceiling.
@@renovationtoperfection Waiting for the video
Patience please, I have 13 short clips to edit into a video. Hope it will be worth it.
Love your projects! Is there an Deco SG profile in the ceiling as well and any particular order to fit floor to ceiling glass?
Thank you very much for your comment. Deco SG profile is designed to go behind the tiles, I've used Architectural reveal bead from Trimtex on the ceiling www.trim-tex.com/products/architectural-reveal-bead which is a mud on U channel for flawless ceiling detail. We have Deco SG on the wall and the glass is sitting on the clear blocks on the floor. Silicone secures it in place.
@@renovationtoperfection Thank you for reply! I assume as the glass is higher than the room it must be installed at the same time as tiles or drywall.
No, my glass installer brought it as a last thing. It would be terribly in the way and hard to keep clean and without damage. The ceiling channel was a 1/2" longer to allow the glass to slide up to the ceiling groove first, before sliding it to the Deco SG on the wall. We filled the gap with acrylic caulk and painted over to make it invisible on the ceiling.
Will try to repeat this in my upcoming bathroom remodel. Many thanks and good luck in all your new projects! :)
Yes man!!! this is exactly what ive been looking for! Nice work and thanks..
Thank you very much. If you would have any other questions I am not answering in a video, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
How heavy shelves or cabinets can this hold?
Hello Gregory, this was a party wall in the living room and we didn't hang anything on it but it is 1" thick drywall layer. I belive you can hang just about anything on good quality drywall anchors as they will be fully embedded in the drywall layer and have more holding power than regular 1/2" drywall. But do not try to locate studs fir screws as that would greatly diminish the sound proofing characteristics of the wall.
The channel installation is upside down. The weight of the wall is supposed to pull the metal away from studs not into studs. I also question the parallel installation on the drywall but more of am issue us the flange needs to be on bottom
its not. on the official gypframe brochure its positioned as it is in video
Thank you for your comment. This is just one step of a layered soundproofing project and the whole assembly perform better than expected! Yet, all the armchair experts are pointing to this one thing.
I ordered one of these rollers. Video is misleading. Round pole wi🎉h useless rivets does not retain in the ‘square’ hole. Worst design I ever seen. No instruction or graphic provided with this product. Trying to return this overpriced horrible roller.
I agree, square bracket and round pole is different than what I would do. Mine has a screw with the wing nut on the square tube, acting as a clamp. It holds the round handle in pretty secure for years. If it gets loose, I will drill a hope through both tubs and secure it with the pin.
@@renovationtoperfection Yes, I was thinking of making the same modification. Seems that a $200+ roller should already have a bolt to hold the handle. This is a patch for a poor design.
@johnamygubesch496 Agreed. I expected more from Schluter. Otherwise the roller is a game changer if you have a large floor to cover with the Ditra membrane.
You made the biggest mistake by installing the bars upside down, it defeats the purpose of installing these as they will now be shouting on the studwork
Thank you for watching the video.
No video on finished product? Turned out like crap didn’t it 😎
Thank you for watching my videos. Here is the video you requested: th-cam.com/video/cx2oc-aWSoc/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
What brand of drain do you use? The tiling on it looks spotless and I love that there is no border visible on it!
I use exclusively everything from Schluter System. All properly connected and one warranty. Mix and match of different products, specially in the shower, doesn't usually end up being long lasting, beautiful result.
@@renovationtoperfection thank you so much for your quick reply! Love your work, I wish you were in my country so you could do my bathroom 😍
Much appreciated .
What brand of heating system do you use in the bathroom? Love your work!
Thank you very much. I use Schluter System Ditra Heat membrane and heating cable. Schluter also has a nice touchscreen thermostat.
@@renovationtoperfection thank you so much! I thought it was that from the way it looked but wanted to be sure 😊
What is a princess bathroom?
Bathroom for a princess. We named the project like that based on the price of the fixtures. The same toilets are in Buckingham Palace.
how much more is the custom?
Actually, my cabinet maker (small custom shop) is usually the same price as the store bought cabinet
Thats very nice man. Great job. I like your shower drain idea. Its your calling card
Thank you very much. Yes, center placed 3 slope linear drain with the tileable grate is my signature detail indeed.
The duct the joist cavity connects to is just as dirty as the joist cavity. You can see it coming down through the floor (at 36 seconds)
I know, we scooped up half a pail of dirt.
They clean ductwork with high pressure vacuums/ air. Can clean these spaces the same way.
That is true. Thank you for watching.
what 's the thickness of plywood boar, and how do you nail it the studs? Thanks.
Hello , I usually use 3/4" thick plywood and install it flush with the face of the studs using Kreg pocket screws.
was the floor one big slab that you cut? That looks sick
Thank you. This is in heritage building - brick walls and wood floor, 1 1/4" thick maple HW strips over 2" T&G pine boards as subfloor .
Looks so clean. Great job. Can I ask you what saw you used for the relief cuts? Was it wet or dry cut? Please let me know the make and model, I would appreciate it. Thanks so much, you do great work
Of course, I am happy to share how I fo things and what tools I use. What exactly do you mean by relief cuts? I cut all my tile on the wet saw - MK Diamond 10" TX-4 misting saw.
Hey thanks for the reply. I meant relief cuts in the floor. The ones that follow the base slope. The cuts that are on a 45 going into the drain. I'm just trying to keep up with all the modern trends. I have done some curb less showers with large tiles but sometimes the tiles are too big to wet saw so I have tried using a grinder and then a montolit score saw. I will look into the MK diamond saw. Keep up the good work man, looks clean and crispy:)@@renovationtoperfection
I like that your a real dude. Nice work
I appreciate that.

dont you have to gouge out the Kerdi to keep the heat wire flush. My tile is only 1/4 inch thick plus Thinset
I am sorry but I do not understand what you mean by gouge out the Kerdi.
Beautiful bathroom, how far off the wall did you place your tub and did you use the slip in free standing tub drain for the tub? Was it difficult to water proof? I am working on a project now and you have the only video out there addressing FST with walk in Shower and Linear drain. I can't get any real world help on the matter just nay saysers. Now that you have this room does it function well, do you love it? Any tips for me?
Hello Tommy, we placed the tub 2 1/2" off the walls to have enough room to fetch things in case of falling behind the tub. Yes, we did use the island drain and waterproof it to the Ditra Heat membrane. If you look father back on my channel, you may find more detail explanation about the Schluter installs and wet room floors. Now I just post before and after videos, maybe a bit in between. I have a playlist with some tips and tricks as well : th-cam.com/play/PLdReh4RxDTc1Bog8Krnkk5j44DcJV_ev-.html Where are you located? Best of luck with your project.
Wow!!! such an improvement from the previous layout . Love the neutral colours and the curved glass on the shower area . Job well done !!
In a later video you say you installed a recessed baseboard heater. I wonder how that works. Thanks.
That's a misunderstanding. I was referring to the baseboard ( as a piece of trim along the bottom of the wall) being installed flush with the wall surface. I never used the baseboard heater in the bathroom.
I would’ve gladly taken it before it was redone all except for that shower
Believe me, you wouldn't if you had seen it up close.
@@renovationtoperfection yeah probably lol
