Us Brits are fanatics for measuring everything to perfection. The *only* thing I would recommend to people watching this video, is to do like the Germans do with tiling. Always comb or rake the ridges at a 90 degree (perpendicular) angle to the LONG side of the tile. That way, the lengths of the ridges are the shortest and air can fully escape through the air grooves as you apply pressure to set the tile into the wall. Trapped air = impediments to close to perfect adhesion of the tile back. Leave the swirling rake lines to beginners.
No it was just fine powdered grout. John says sanded grout is best used when using a wider tiles joint spacing ie 5mm has it has a thicker consistency.
Thank you, I appreciate you replying to my question. John makes it all seem so simple, it gives people like me the confidence to have a go. Though, I'm sure it will take me longer and I will probably be alot messier too.😂😂
The tile adhesive used has a high grip quality, so holds the tile in place once in position. Also the tiles used were light weight ceramic 100mm x 200mm.
They do, very slightly. That is why, especially at the beginning, you constantly check the gaps and distances. When the adhesive sets - the tiles stop moving and you can easily go up, as the whole contraption supports itself. In the case of heavy tiles, you set these on a baton, then go up using a similar principle.
Very well explained , a real master teacher 👍👍👍👍👍
Brief and to the point, without unnecessary additions. Bravo.
Thanks for this amazing tutorial! I’ve watched several herringbone videos but adding the initial center box to work out from makes so much more sense!
This is the best herringbone tutorial on TH-cam. Mine came out perfectly 👌 thanks for your help mate
Fantastic video and best tiling video ever seen
Agreed with you
25:05 was the pivotal moment. This guy really knows what he is doing. Well done!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽come on, Johnny 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you!!! That was excellent!! Is that sanded grout? It looks a little grainy...

Great video, does this work on any size tile for herringbone?
Yes
So, is it the same process for tiling a floor?
Hi - from John he says the measuring out technique is the same

How come they are not falling down of weight ?

Very thorough and clear explanation.
