Schluter profile edge goes on as you tile! Snap your line and put your edge profile to that line with thinset. If Your your walls are flat and you use the correct notch size trowel that coincides With the edge profile and your tile you should have any issues with it lining up and looking crispy after your done tiling! Hope this helps! 👍🏿
My brother convinced my mom that we could re due her bathroom I have no experience in such endeavors. Glad people like you exist because he didn't know what he was doing, his tileing experience was one backslash lol. Best part he got to leave the job to go back home before we got close to done. It's going slowly but the finished product won't be a shower that needs to get torn out. Thank you.
I usually figure my layout on the wall, mark a plumb line and trowel the thin-set to the line, then set the sluter strip on my line and tile to it, the way seen here seems to be more work to me, good work though Bob!
Thank you for this. I have been toying with the idea of using these for our shower when I am done tiling. Each wall is what you had here. Thank you again!!! Blessings!
I was just looking for your video the other day where you mentioned this during an install. I was considering taping it and attaching it under the tile as I go. I’m not really sure which way I’ll install the trim but it’s good to see different methods.
Would you recommend deeper profile then the tile? Like 1/2 for 3/8 thick tile? To minimize that gap at the wall. Many people , myself included, get confused on trim sizes
I have heard other tile setters use a glue gun as well... but sometimes those voids are not even and will be thicker than others. Plus I'm not confident that the glue would hold 5 or 10 years down the road, I could see potentially where it would become brittle whereas thinset is more permanent
You want the strip to be flush with the face of the tile. Walls are uneven, use caulk, thin set or grout between the wall and strip to hide any unevenness.
I wonder if the transition strips are plated any better then my rust covered gold plated door hinges? What i'm asking is in ten years will I have regretted using transition strips because they have become tarnished or pitted?
Do you think you could do this on brick laid(staggered) subway tile? I'm going to the shower and I would think leaving that much thinset out of a half piece wouldn't work very well.
Even a small subway tile is normally 3x6 so 2" of thinset is enough... having said that it is also a much thinner tile so the build up of thinset isn't as much

Yes I'm a Maverick, been working with it for years and my way is much easier 👌🏼👍🏻

I do it the same as u ,brother!

Thanks so much. This is the a great way to go!
I'm about 3 weeks away from finishing the new bath in the basement and needed this to review the process ... good tips.

I stick to the northern california style tile and just float any showers and kitchens,its a lil more work but way easier to install without nightmares

Yes, it's always good rule to step up to the next size
Love it. Such a perfect approach
Just had a light bulb moment could you use a glue gun if it was slightly out just warm with a hairdryer,just a thought!

Please show us how you do the niche too! 🙏 thank you!
Thank you for the video! Please also show us how to do the niche!!
I'm going to be doing a similar tile for my bathroom floor as in this video, can you please tell what size grout line you did? It looks excellent!
1/8"
And thanks 👍
👍👍👍 clean and crisp!
Thank you for the video. Was wondering how that was done.
Plumb line hot glue gun
That's how I've been doing it for years. Thanks for showing though.
But..
But why not screwed to wall before to install the tile?
It's not meant to be screwed in place...the heads would bump out the tile

Door hinges and other Hardware are metal or steal transition strips are aluminum so they don't degrade
@@StarrTile Hmmn.....Aluminum isn't a metal? Guess I better go back to school! And you spelled steel wrong!
@@zeke112964 my bad on both counts...I talk text and misspelling is common.
Anyway you get the idea

Easier and better way than setting strip 1st
Thanks bob
Thats a good way to bend the metal and the end cuts aren't good
Why not just install the Schluter strip when you get finished setting tile on that wall. Slide the peice in while the thinset is still wet.
Use a grout float.
Thumbs down!
Need binos to see vid lol
