That same technique used with the ruler and marking the locations is how I put in linoleum. I put paper down on the entire floor, tape it all together and use diamond cuts to tape it down and mark it accordingly. It's a great tip and so worth knowing how to do. Great job, Nice video Bob
I recently did a job installing 47" x 47" tiles (four of them). They were too heavy to carry by myself. I arranged them on the floor in front of the wall to where they would eventually go.I had to cut the bottom two around a fireplace. I literally spent an entire afternoon taking measurements and marking the tiles accordingly, double-checking, and triple-checking everything. While I'm basically happy with how it turned out, making a template - had it occurred to me - would have sped things up, and made the job at least a little less stressful. .
You show the best tips for us being able to do a professional tile installation. Much appreciated. Quick question when you slide a tile in like that to clear the jam do you have to do anything special with the thinset application. I know you have no choice to install the tiles this way. Just wondering if the thinset might move too much as you slide in the tile. Thanks
Thank you for another great video. Did you have to free hand the cut with an angle grinder? or did you make some of the cuts on a tile saw? Do you have another video that shows how to made that cut?
Sal I’ve got a question for you. Would you prime an OSB sub floor before you layed down your straramat ? If you were going to do so what type of primer would you use? Thanks, CB
Wow Sal nice work bro!! As Always!! That tile fitted like a glove! Best tile youtube channel on youtube!!! Sal what is the blue foam for? Thank you sir!
awesome video! quick question what suction cup device are you using ? id really like to get my hands on one of those . really looks effortless when you pick up such a big tile with that machine.
@sal diblasi why do you make lines on the opposite side of what you originally made for the template I'm confused if you draw out the lines for the tile to fit why would you remark them
Sal - did you cut the cardboard one more time based on the one inch marks that were made around the template? It appears from the video that you cut to the inside of the temple closest to the wall and didn’t even use the 1” marks? I’m a little confused? Otherwise awesome video!!
The area around the cut just has to be close, within the thickness of your straight edge. the cardboard can not cover the area where you need to mark the tile.
Sal, not a tile installer.. an artist !
Maestro, I like your vídeos, I’m an installer too and I’ve been learning a lot from you, thank you for sharing your knowledge with others
Glad to help

Great job,

That is where I learned it way back when I did VCT, Lino, hardwood, carpet and more.
@@SalDiBlasi Why did you give up installing all of the other materials?
I like the suction device you have there. I bet that comes in handy
A must have for big tiles amzn.to/2XWWsWT
Awesome video here. Thank you!
Another most excellent video, Sal. Those look like some pricey tile I wouldn't want to make a mistake on!
Make a template to avoid mistakes. 😊

Threshold bar to the closet easier?

Great idea Sal but this takes way to much time!
Actually quite quick when you aren't showing how to do it
Can also simply add some tape as needed to your template instead of marking with the straight-edge.
Amazing
Thanks
Sal
Where can I buy that vacuum suction grip tool? Cost? Jeff
