    This is a 2x2 porcelain mosaic for a shower. Smaller tiles (6x6 or less) are typically used for showers with a drain in the center. However, you can use any size tile (with correct DCOF-Dynamic Cofficent of Friction rating-slip resistance) when using a linear drain system. Linear drains are set where floor tile meets wall tile (an edge)

    Tile the walls first, but leave the bottom off, then set the floor tile in, then cut the bottom row of tiles in on top of the mosaic floor tile

      @@CPT-Blacktooth Yep. I put a ledger up and stack my first row right above the skirt row. I mortar in that first row, the floor, the floor tiles on the outer edge of the curb, and the curb with one batch of thin-set. Then I let all that cure and put some plastic down on the pan and curb to protect it while I finish the rest of the wall. It's so much easier and you don't have to worry as much about dropping thin-set. The last part should always be the skirting. Cut your skirt pieces to fit, put a bead of silicone at the edge and then back butter the last final pieces. Viola.

    That's why I prefer round drains so you can adjust the height. Also a square drain can dictate your lay out. And if for some reason later you need to back out the drain you can't. It won't back out, its locked in. Just my 2 cents

    • @michaelbourg2281
      @michaelbourg2281  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can adjust the height on the square drains as well because it sits on top of the Spud and you just turn it till it's the right height plus the cut time takes a lot less time than a round drain

    I agree with others about floor first, then walls. I have never and will never run my floor tiles up to my wall tiles, I just hate that detail, as i have seen way to many separate and crack, plus it just looks better regardless of 2 little cuts on the drain....

      It's also more waterproof to do floor first and then lap it with the wall tile. I always put a bead of silicone (same color as grout) at the base as well.

      I like to use a 3/16 inch notch trowell with quarter-inch Mosaic and that gives me sufficient mortar coverage over my substrate and the back of the tile if I use a small v-notch mosaics have a tendency not to have good coverage and break loose.

      This was a very unusual project request via a customer to have balanced tiles around the drain, so we were only able to barely move that full tile under that wall tile.
      Customer wanted that tile balanced around that drain
      And gave us those full size tiles around the edge.
      Pan is sloped so water is managed. there is pebble rock around the drain to keep the mud from getting into the weep holes
      Just quit the hating

    Personally, I don’t consider 2” x 2” (12x12 mat sheets) that are mostly mono-solid color and non patterned / non imaged tile “mosaic”.
    In the tile world, a mosaic is defined as an inlay design pattern with tiles smaller than 2×2”. Individual mosaic patterns vary greatly, featuring a multitude of different materials, colors, and tile shapes. Popular materials include glass, natural stone, metal, and porcelain. *Google 2017*

    Different strokes for different folks. The question is, Will everyone follow the TCNA guidelines and caulk around that perimeter joint which should really be seen on the wall, not the floor.
    Never heard of "full tile management before. What do you do when you have to tile the whole house? If you break the tile up at the doorways, I would doubt your layout abilities. Can't make all the walls happy.
    If you have no idea what the TCNA is, you should learn.
