Fastest PEBBLE SHOWER PAN I've Ever Tiled --- Tile Redi with Linear Drain
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ธ.ค. 2024
- Most pebble or mosaic tile installations are done by installing full pieces or sheets and then cutting in or piecing in the perimeter pieces. Since the Tile Redi shower pan is already square the installer can just take measurements and pre-cut all of the sheets before installing. This way the installation can be done faster as long as the precut pieces are numbered properly so that they can be installed in the correct place. Doing it this was speeds up the installation time by about 50%.
Tile Redi pans are already waterproof, pre- sloped, and there are no connections to be made between the shower floor and wall. Also, the drain is integrated into the pan instead of installed separately. This reduces the failure points that are common with the Schluter, Hydro Block, and Wedi shower systems. Tile Redi foam is also approximately 7 times more dense than Schluter foam.

This is the bathroom job we hired Isaac and his crew to do for us. I was very, very happy with the entire experience - from the moment we met him at his store for the consultation through the job's completion. He and the crew were also great with the tenant (and the good boi who napped throughout the work). Most of all, you can see how fantastic the work is. I highly recommend Isaac and his team.
Did you seal your stone? What brand did you use?
Do you know what pebble stone he used here? I’m trying to find it for my own shower.
35 years doing bathrooms and kitchens I only use tile ready have been catching your channel from time to time I would say to my self all this work to build a pan when you can order in advance ship to your home or shop with no chance of leeks .as a senior getting close to stopping Get into kitchens 💰💰💰too🇺🇸
Thanks you for all the great videos Isaac. I've been a contractor for 30 years and still learn from them. Keep up your efforts. It is obvious you have a good soul. So nice to see today.
The large shower in our house failed. We purchased the custom-built house from the homeowner which was the custom builder. The tile installation looked almost perfect, but after the failure I found the shower liner cut in the corners with roofing nails into studs and nails in the curb! My background is electrical contracting, electrical and architectural engineering, not a tile guy. That being said, I redone the master bath myself because I didn't want problems where a contractor cut corners or was clueless, especially another shower fail disaster. I didn't want to attempt installing a typical shower pan with liner and have issues in the future, so I ordered a custom size Tile Redi shower pan with linear drain, a little expensive being a larger custom size but man, what a piece of mind! Have not installed the wall board or tile yet but installed the pan a couple weeks ago, that pan is very solid. The rest of the bath construction has gone perfect, little nervous about doing the tile but at least I know what will be behind the tile and I feel pretty good about everything, thanks to Isaac's videos.
Love the wallboard install. Looks surprisingly easier than anything else I've seen lately. Pan looks sweet
I learn so much from this channel, and I've been a tile contractor for 30 years. Thanks Isaac
Bookmarking this video for our shower renovation next spring. The Redi system looks solid, and I think my wife would be thrilled if we can get a pebble base like the one you're installing. Thank you for the great videos!
You sound like a c uck
You are badass ! Thanks for taking the time and producing these videos for us to watch and learn. I've been watching your bathroom remodel videos closely for a while now and with great detail in mind .I 'm currently doing my second bathroom which is my master bath. curbless shower and heated floor, using the Schluter System using all porcelain tile. heated bidet, heated mirror, rain shower head from the ceiling. Thank for what you do !!!
Thanks for the video! They have helped tremendously on my bathroom Remodel. Bought my first house and flip at 19 a few months ago with no knowledge on how to do it I just know I’m going to do it haha, now I’m ready to tackle the bathroom since I’m feeling confident in the tile redi system. I’m new to all of this so you’re videos are definitely very helpful thank you!!
This was extremely helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! I'm getting ready to put my pebble stone down soon, and this is looking like the method I'll be using. It's my own home, and I'm a DIY person, so anything I can find will help. Thanks again!
been using the precut method for years. Always makes it go smoothly.
Used this method today on my floor. The precut approach was awesome! Thanks Isaac for all your videos and insight. Used a FloFX drain too! Keep it up
It was your videos that lead me to tileredi. As a DIY'r using products on my own house, speed of installation and wrapping up projects in a few days is not a factor. I just want a product line that's going to work, i had absolutely no trust in some of the other products out there and your tests proved that. Went with Tileredi and glad to see it in your vid's. Great channel!
Excellent video! You made it easier to visualize and lay out my pebble floor. Thanks a million.
I’ve done quite a few of these with the pebble. The last one I used this method and it went really smooth and looked great 👍🏼
Been following all your videos and nothing has failed! about to start my pebble tile today after testing my dry pack Hydroban sealed shower floor.....which passed with zero leaks! I'm a sheet metal worker doing his own plumbing (which I hate doing) but been in construction since the 90's so it's just another day at the "office". I just over think everything that isn't sheet metal, and worry about failure.
Follow all of Issacs steps and techniques and you shouldn't go wrong...
Everything has worked flawless so far.....now I jinxed it! LOL
Appreciate your video's now for several year's...this product I think I will use on a second floor remodel the only hesitation i have is the mortar set and the weight,along with the measuring of the drain pipe coming up from the floor, I believe you said an inch and 3/8 to make a good contact with the pan,brother thank you again keep up the great work.
I am amazed how clean you remain- my shorts are caked in mud after tiling a few rows - lol
Thank you thank you. I’m doing the same thing with a rear trench drain Redi Tile pan using the same pebble tiles. Very helpful!
Another good video. Right on!
I always like watching them before bed.
It’s soothing
FINALLY ANOTHER TILE GUY UNDERSTANDING HOW BAD SCHLUTER SUBSTRATES ARE FOR FLOORS. I've been screaming this from the beginning. I have used Tile-redi and was also impressed and I would not be concerned about longevity.
Love your attention to detail. Wish I could find someone in my town who does work this good.
if you're in central florida, I have you covered
Happy to see the tile coach still rocking shout out from butte county
A similar way to do what you did with layout, is to make a pan template!
Rip 1/8" utility plywood into about 1" strips. Get a hot glue gun and create a template of the whole shower pan (including the drain). Then just take your template over to the tiles laid out on the floor. Trace the template and cut the lines :)
What I like about doing it this way, is you can shift the template over the tiles, and find the most symmetrical layout, as well as the least amount of cuts/slivers.
LOVE this shower pan & wall system! I currently have a composite pan & shower walls as I never trusted any of the systems out there, but this one I am very confident in. I hope it's available here in Canada so I can finally have a tiled shower!
Homedepot has them in Canada. Well Vancouver . Good luck
looks great Isaac 👍🏼 that pre made system is amazing
Great video! I am about to set a shower floor with the same pebbles.
Thank you for sharing, I really learned a lot just by watching your channel.
Nice! I did the Blue SEA PEBBLE STONE from floor and decor with sand color grout. Came out amazing using the redi tile pan.
I’ve been doing this for years. I love doing it this way instead of cutting in as I thinset in
I have always used this method for pebble tile, except I dry set them in the pan, cutting them to fit. I then take them up and lay them together as they would go in the pan and set then install them like you did.
Love the little Pearl mini blade with extension
Excelente maestro un trabajo de muy buena calidad un saludo desde Perú en todo precisión total
Great videos as always. Learning from you a lot. Thanks
Holy shnikies you guys got it easy now been watching you since i retired you have come far weedhopper
I've only been doing this for two years and this is how I've always done it lol
Those sheets payed out real nice no seams 🤙🏾👍🏾
I have TileRedi pan. It is one of the easiest options for DIYers. Put mortar underneath to fill the void as recommended. Inspector didn’t do a fill test when he saw that it’s one solid piece of shower pan.
This is great. I like the idea of pre-cutting the pebbles outside, but can you put the link to the full installation video. I would love to see how you installed the shower pan. Thank you
Your videos are great! Very informative. Thank you
good video,i was waiting for the grouting process, i will look for it,thanks
My uncle just moved to Idaho from Sacramento and he loves it all but the snow shoveling!😂
Great Video! Can you please provide the links to the videos concerning the other aspects of this job? I would love to see them.
The pebbles look cool, but that Redi system is 😲
I had to completely replace 90 percent of the joists and floor under my master bathroom due to the previous install leaking since the 50's (way before I bought the house)
I've been sitting with an empty master bath for soooo long because I'm terrified of leaking tile systems destroying it again.
One piece, and practically unbreakable... This Redi system looks like it's the way to go for me.
I picked up a good tip years ago from my old employer for cutting river rocks. Place an old tile on top of the river rocks as close to the blade as possible leaving room for your pencil line to be seen. As you guide the river rocks through the blade keep pressure on the tile with one hand. This helps to minimize the rocks movement and helps to produce a straight cut. On a side note, does this guy ever wear eye protection when he makes cuts?
What I do is have a piece of goboard that I lay on the tray (with pebble on top) and raise the blade up.. a little easier I think? Just trying to help!!!!
he uses them safety squints
@@ajwordy1691 And I use the 1/4 board works well
Yup. Works well
Love it, keep up the great work, I just Subscribed.
Thanks for the video! I'm so tired of shluter!
I am at the beginning stage of gaining the courage to redo our downstairs shower. It is currently a crappy fiberglass stall. I want to make it longer (it is currently 34" square and I want to extend wall and make it at least 42") and was worried about getting a pan with the hole in the right place as I am NOT interested in jack hammering the floor and moving the drain. I am either going to do the dry pack (cheaper) or order a custom pan from the link in your description. I have subscribed and plan on watching many more videos. I may even sign up for a class or two.
Keep it up TC. Looks good man. 👊
you have great tools, nice!!!!
I’ve wondered why these pebble sheets aren’t installed that way all the time. Figured it was because I’m not a pro. I just didn’t get it or something. Looks good from my house!
Correct, Tile Redi makes life easier, I see you have been watching my videos. LOL. A screw will puncture the foam base if you step on it the right way. I try to keep my base as clean as possible. It's a great product that I've been using for years. Glad that Tile Redi got Tile coach to try out their product.
Actually, I just checked out your channel. Great stuff!! Thanks for watching.
Appreciate the kind words. Want to help me tile 4 baths and 9000 sqft in my new home build, LOL. Have a happy Thanksgiving. @@TileCoach
Thumbs up, great job and tips..
I want that small grinder peanut
wheel set up. Enlighten me.
Tip : use that blue painters tape and run strips across the tile mats before you pick them up. way easier and there not so loose goosy as you try and lay them
Next time when you number your pieces also put an arrow for direction. Great video
Love this! Great job as always. What is that tiny blade you were using on the grinder?
Holy crap people make sure you use the right size notch when you do pebbles or the thinset cleanup will make you crazy. Love this shower pan though.
What was that small wheel you used for the finer cuts? Also, what RPM’s do you set the grinder for polishing?
Great video installing pebble tile. Do you have any videos on tiling the rest of the pan or is this finished after grouting ?
What's the name of the small angle grinder blade?
Bihui 2” diamond blade
Just template it (drain in place) with drywall shims and hot glue… lay it all out and trace it onto the stone. So fast.
(Especially helpful for after walls are set if you do it that way)
Maybe I’ll drop a video to you
Love the funny pokes, "armchair tilers", "tile police" LOL
For a temporary shower floor why grout? EXCELLANNT TIPS .
How many days would you estimate, for yourself and one helper, to tile and grout the walls and floor for this shower install? Thank you!
Thank you Tile coach
I love your work. It is very much detail-oriented. How do I know if I need epoxy or thinnest. My tile redy shower base was installed a year ago, but only now the tiles be installed. Also, do you buy separately spacers for the drain or it was included into the kit. Please, show video how you cut tiles and tiling walls. I am looking forward to it.
My heart skipped when i saw how close your hands were to the saw!
what type of blade? and also where can i find that small blade setup you were using?
Need one as well
Thanks Coach. I needed this video. Doing almost the same install with a 42x60 Redi-Trench pan and black sliced pebble tile for the floor. Just about ready to get the mortar bed poured but I’m a bit worried about not getting the spaces between the ribs and especially the curb 100% full of mortar. Any tips on how to make sure I’m not leaving any empty spaces underneath the pan ?
Nice! Is there a vid on the pebble grout? wanted to see if you kept the grout close to the height of each pebble? or slightly deeper. want to know if the deeper grout would be harder on the feet?
Nice! I always pre cut my tiles both wall and floor. The wall I only precut Half about half way, I work by myself with all the showers I do so I save setting time by precutting as well. But the redi tile.. is a little too pricey for me to make money off of
What kinda setup is on the blue grinder? I have never seen that blade before
I think it’s a bihui. Not sure. Kirk bought it at cortopassi but never used it. I was the first one to use it!! Cool little blade.
Tile Coach, can you post the video of you installing the pan, I don’t see that video anywhere, thanks
Issac, do you have a video of the tile-redi system install?
You can see a complete installation video for the wall boards here: th-cam.com/video/MXugHg06BsU/w-d-xo.html
Super useful videos. I one question. I am doing a flat pebble tile backsplash in the kitchen, and am trying to understand which grout type to use. Sanded or Un-Sanded? most of the points are between 1/4 and 1/8, but there are areas that have larger. Which should I use?
I hope the wallboard video is coming out soon, I can't seem to find it

Isaac. Is it possible to use Greenboard with the tile redi shower pan? If so, how would you interface where the two meet? I would waterproof the Greenboard of course. Or would Go Board be better? Thanks.
I had to replace the river stone on my shower floor. Ready for grouting. But how do I make sure the water will flow to the drain?
I started to get a rash on my left hand but then hair started growing in as well all throughout the bottom of my palm…..
But I’m in my 60s now & I’ve been “tiling” since my teens 😂
wheres the video of you putting the walls and shower floor at
That is a good method for river rock installation . I I dig that shower system. Is it rated for steam?
How do you feel about the adhesion of the thinset to the pan and walls. I'm considering moving over from traditional pvc liner showers because this just looks much faster and pretty fool proof. The only failure mode I see is inadequate adhesion or if it breaks down somehow, though that seems pretty unlikely.
We've tested a few that we recommend for the best adhesion, you can review them on the installation instructions found on our website.
Hey bro. Love your work and great tutorials. I b a retired home building GC remodeling my master bathroom with 32x60 walk in shower.
1.m16x40 shower niche- wanting RGBW lED lighting either strip or 2mor 3 mini 12V P67 recessed downlights with recommended power supplies and dimmer. Where to get products?
2. Considering drop down ceiling to make for utilizing shower as sauna - thought would want have it tight to top of 72ish height glass doors though could perhaps use 12”+ cedar on walls above the wall panels. Then fabricate something to temporarily put up above doors when sauna in use. Surely there be basic product available to make
a make shift simple sauna
Suggestions be appreciated Issac thanks
Mapei HPG, PERMABASE, 3PC PAN used correctly & it's bulletproof. Sac town, Carmichael, Pasadena Elementary, Churchill Jr. High & Mira Loma HS. 1982/1988.....KOKO!
How high do you put the edge of the stones above the metal edge of the drain? Excellent work!
Please address the issue with the metal drain receiver, being higher than the surrounding surface
Hey Coach, how do you re-grout pebbles when they get grungy? With square or rectangular tiles, you can scrape or grind out the old grout; but irregular tiles, this isn't so easy.
Honestly you don't.
You can have the tile and grout professionally cleaned.
Once cleaned you can use grout colorant if you want to change the color.
@@dgraf8076 cheers! The tiles in my shower are definitely getting towards that point.
I never seen that bit nice. Need the link
so if you have a linear drain thats away from the side wall and also away from the ends like in your video and you make a one plane pitch from both parallel walls, will the little ends automatically drain? i know the main pitch will drain but concerned on the little ends of drain, draining away from wall. im doing a floor similiar but with a dry pack and a 2x4 inch sheet tile, like little picket tiles but on a mesh . its a concrete recessed shower floor, so the plumber already did the hole in slab and clients dont want to move it. my drain will be away from side wall like 12 inches and the width of line drain is 24 inches sitting in a 40 inch wide shower.. any thoughts?
Very good video Coach! Have you used the redi-Tile pan with any tiled wall panels? I want to use the redi-tile pan with the Utile wall panels.
This is great, Im just surprised this isn’t something you’ve done. It literally cuts pebble pan set time by 1/2.
Really like this product, only wish they had tile in grate options like FloFX or Schluter.
We offer tileable grate options for both linear trench drains and standard point drains (WonderDrain).
I've done the template method a few times but for me it just takes longer. One guy measuring and laying while another does the cutting is just as fast, even with complex layouts, and there's no chance of error. Let the surface be the template and just get it done.
Should you always do the floor first ? I was thinking wall to prevent makin mess on floor
What model tile is this? My wife loves it and she wants the exact one. You mentioned it came from Arizona tile, but I can’t seem to find this exact one on their website. I live on the other side of the country, so I can’t exactly just go in and say this is what I want.
Do you remember how many inches off the wall the drain is? The standard 3" or was it customized to a different length off the wall?
Do they make a 60 inch pan? Also who is the manufacture? Thank you
I just had a custom 109” pan made. Tile redi team does custom builds. Great people to work with and support is easy
Awesome video dude! 😂
After you laid the tile do you have to put something over the tile when its done? I want to lay a pebble tile on the fireplace hearth and was wondering after I lay that do I put Mortar over it to fill it in then wipe it off?
Where do you buy that tiny diamond blade ?
