Beautiful Job. One suggestion - I would set the bottom piece of the shelf first and then the back on top. I makes a better directional flow for the water to run out. Also make sit better to avoid possible leaks.
Pretty calm to me too.. and demonstrations are usually to show you the RIGHT way or suggest a way that may be better. Not to show you how to install something improperly ..
I think this guy does a pretty good job...I’m 31 years in the trade. The only thing I do slightly different is I set my schluters first. Then measure cuts to fit inside snug as a bug...definitely a good informative video for the diy’er
Well done.The fact that you took the time and purchased the materials to make this tutorial. As a tile installer myself I always look for helpful tips here and there, keep up the good work.
# things about this: 1. GREAT VIDEO - thank you for taking the time 2. I learned more about the tricks you did than anything else lol.. lighting the miter saw had me on the floor 3. great technique.. As im doing my bathroom, This si the video i follow.! - THANKS Subscribed and liked!
Great video. We just remodeled our entire bathroom and the shower tile installer made a niche for us. However, he did not use the orange color box that you used. He had used durarock and baker board to make the cavity. Also, he used decorative tiles for the back - these are the tiles that he had used as a water fall effect in the shower. However, instead of using tiles around the inside sides of the niche, he used white stones and made the bottom side 1/4 inch wider for the water to fall on the floor (from the niche since it is on the side wall only 1 foot above shower floor) as opposed to dropping on the shower wall below the niche. He did not use the stainless steel pieces either sine he had used the stones. It looks really nice.
You are just exceptional in this magnificent demonstration. One of the best and liveliest, done that I have viewed in a long time. This process could not be made more clearer. You got 5 Stars rating. Thank you.
I personally have never seen it installed this way myself, but who says it's the wrong way...it works and could just be a matter of preference could it not...
Wouldn't the bottom trim of the niche stop water from running off? Also, shouldn't the bottom tile have a slight angle to prevent water from accumulating?
I would like to know the reason why he said to make the niche have a lip because I'm just about to do my own and do it flush ... Still liked video though
@@psngaming3796 you can install the jolly trim with the metal backing laying on the niche bottom instead down between the tile. Regarding the lip, it’s better to have your tile too high rather than too low. Too low leaves you with a problem and too high you can fill it in with mortar
Interesting how you did it. I’ve always installed the edge trim facing out not in. I cut the wall tile tight to the edge of the niche and then the interior pieces. Not sure if one way is easier than the other or if it looks better.
Nice video and instructions, I typically put my bottom piece and sides into my niche and then my back piece so that I’m overlapping and essentially creating a waterproof flow of the water. It’s just an extra precaution that I take to reduce any leakage behind the wall.. Am I wrong? Any additional advice is gladly appreciated and welcome brother.
Always install the bottom piece first (shelf) then the back ; so the water runs off better. By installing the back piece first you are creating a gap for water to possibly penetrate. Also , the shelf must be installed on a slight angle for water run off.
@@JavierLopez-nk2yz I have never used the pre made niches, so I am not sure of the slope. If there is mo slope then you can always lay the tile on a slight slope. I always build the niche.
I believe you are correct DIY like a Pro, bottom before sides and back. I also would make the bottom of the framing with a slight slope, water proof, THEN do the tile so I do not rely on grout to get a slope. I see issues doing what he did. SMH Mike Beltran is very rude BTW.
i have learned so many things during, before and after my bathroom remodel I wish I had the money to rip it all back apart and do it again, Also this video wasn't around when I did it
Awesome that's a very good demo I'm just thinking about doing mine and I was thinking about how to do something like that thank you for the heads up and the tip.
Amazing. Couldn’t find an example of someone using jolly and a step by step process. This is superb. Thanks so much. And thanks for explaining all the tools like saws that can be used etc. you have my up vote and subscribing coming your way.
wish I seen this before I started and finished. My inner niche is good, my outside, not so good, but it's my house and I did the whole bathroom, not just the niche. Looks good and I saved $1000's I would have used the spacers you are using and the cutting technique maybe. I had to use a wet saw inside. I also framed my own niche, not pre-made and I used mosaic inside. I then trimmed that it "after" with an 1 inch aluminum corner trim. Had to use an adhesive, but it's rock solid. Small problem, it catches a little water at the lip of the niche. All my mosaic is lined up with the drain and centered. Thanks for the demo.
I know it's a dumb question. But how do you get the spacers out of the mortar if you put them in the space and they get dried into the mortar? Do you leave part of them in the mortar or do you dig it out or something else?
Dont agree...I have seen nitches with 4 separate pieces on the back just to follow joints and it looks silly. I have also seen installers use 2 pieces on the nitch back and the grout joints arent even centered because they line it up with the outside wall and also looks silly. My take is if you can use 1 solid piece its much better than putting in an unnecessary grout joint...
I never did any metal trim because I have not seen any long term wear inside a shower I have rebuilt that had steel trim. What happens to the surface of the trim after many years? I was however forced to do just that when a customer selected Mosaic 12x12 tile for a full bath tile rebuild. Now I have seen so much of it I am using it more often.
@@LandbergTileTV Understand, I should have said aluminum, but I've been looking for some long term wear and tear on the stuff. I have used it and plan on it in my shower rebuild, but curious about wear because aluminum is kind of soft. Does Chrome hold up well for example?
I did this in my showers in Wichita Kansas 15 years ago. They never leaked. It was awesome. I had to force my wife to not leave the shampoo bottle uncapped.. I used St. Cecilia natural stone counter top white subway tiles and St. Cecilia tiles. When I sold the house. The bathrooms were the biggest selling point. I received 95k over the asking price of the home. All the fixtures are high-end from Ferguson.
That little area would have taken me a whole day to finish haha. Love your channel, your delivery is a mixture of dry, straight to the point and seems like you really enjoy your work. Your Tile work is art. I kinda got stuck doing the tile in a house we were building years ago. Never had any training or certification but for some reason after crashing and burning a bit, I was hooked which is crazy considering how much work tile installation is. Of all the trades it's definitely the hardest in my opinion. And it's not even close haha. Thanks for the videos. I know it takes allot of extra work and time.
The hole cut out of the backer board is the full size of the niche itself. Then it's pushed into place, but there's no structure behind it, is there? I would have thought maybe it's just pushed into the back side of the opposing drywall, but then at 1:40, you see the screws/washers around the lip of the niche...what is it screwed to??
It depends on how much metal the client wants to see. Most of our clients want a lower profile trim, so we install it this way. There is no right way to do it, two options 👊
@@LandbergTileTV awesome bro. Thanks for all the awesome content. I'm 1 year in tile and I've learned alot from you. I purchased a kobalt saw because of your channel. It's been faithful for a year now and still strong! My next saw will be IQ. And will be purchasing a sigma 24". Check out my vid on my page of me and my cousin pouring concrete! I have over 2 million views on it. That's what I've done most my life
Hiii, I read on a trim spec sheet that Aluminium trim can corrode in wet areas. What is you experience with that? Just got to the end, the horizontal grout joints look pretty bad where they meet the trim. Probably not a great design of trim tbh.
Hoped to see the mitered corners of the niche - we are having a tiler do ours now and I think there is too big of a gap and i don’t like it 😔 is there any fox?
I see your point of reversing the reveal on the edging, for a smaller reveal from the front. But the bottom piece of edging then sits higher than the bottom niche tile, collecting water. Am I wrong? Honest question
I find it easier to place the trim under the wall tile which usually more difficult to measure, cut and place. That way you're able to make small adjustments to the smaller non critical niche tiles.
i noticed you didn't use spacers in the corners of the walls. Wouldn't it be necessary to get straight grout lines? i really like the spacers you used because they look like they hold the tiles securely. Are they made to snap off before applying the grout? Thanks for the helpful video!
Great DIY video. Question about Jolly trim on niche: why is flat/wide side of trim piece on inside of niche rather than on face of front tile ? Is this for aesthetic reasons ?
I did an arched niche. Slight ledge, set in first. Porcelain as large as yours cut around the curved opening. Tile cut to line the inside. We ladies can do things sneaky complicated when we decide to. At least some of us.
I have to say, I like it. Most guys that do it that way have done it out of laziness, they dont mitre the corners and just butt up tin snipped joints. I do mine with the big metal side faced out and mitred. I may talk to my next customer and try one this way.
If assuming substrate is already installed perfectly plumb, and If using 1/2 x1/2 inch trowel, when you apply it it’s usually with a 45 degree angle against the tile of substrate, so the thin-set ridges will be 1/2 wide x 1/4 high. Then when you collapse them it’ll be a layer of 1/8 thick material. So theoretically, account for 1/8”.
Yeah cause soap and plastic shampoo bottles really mark shit up ..or wait...since you guys are the MANLY PROS maybe it's your LOOFAHS that scratch it up...gtfoh
Landberg Tile TV, you’re right about the Chinese Wuhan Virus, aka Covid 19. It’s very contagious and very dangerous. I just wish more folks would take it seriously! I went to Home Depot this afternoon to pick up something to finish the range hood install. While there, I again witnessed the majority (95% +) not wearing a mask of any sort or gloves. These were a couple of folks with the flimsy surgical masks and a some with kerchiefs or bandanas around their face. At least they were making an attempt to protect themselves! It’s very important that everyone immediately start wearing a mask (N95 preferably). I bought several masks at Home Depot a few months ago, as we’re remodeling the house. I never leave the house without donning my N95 mask, gloves, wraparound Milwaukee or Dewalt glasses, 75% alcohol spray, hand sanitizer and Clorox Wipes. Every item purchased from Albertsons, Costco, Fred Meyer, Home Depot, etc.is sanitized, wiped down and put in to sterile bags or boxes, prior to being brought into our home. In addition I’m trying to limit the frequency of my trips out. We’re now going on three weeks of our self imposed quarantine. I’ve been the only one going out, for food/essential runs (This is Marty, I hijacked my wife’s account). In Boise, it seems that approximately 98% of the general public aren’t protecting themselves. They are carrying on with a business as usual attitude/mentality. They see me wearing a mask and give he a wide berth, thinking I’m sick. LOL! Freakin knuckleheads why would I go to this much trouble to protect everyone else. The mask, nitrile gloves, etc are for my protection and my Families. However, I’m doing my part by taking the preventative measures to not expose myself to the virus. Yesterday, some lady asked me if I was sick. I said no, I’m trying to keep well and be safe from unmasked people like you. 6’ is a good idea, but if someone coughs or sneezes while you’re walking from behind the water droplets are going to find their mark. They can stay airborne for up to 10 minutes. I’ve started including the glasses, because the virus can enter through the eyes membrane. Hopefully this message gets out and folks start taking this virus more seriously. The previous info published by the CDC and many healthcare individuals was that a mask wasn’t necessary, because it wouldn’t prevent you from catching the virus. I knew they were full of crap. Why would a person who was sick be out in public wearing a mask? If a mask prevents a person infected with the virus from spreading it, then it will protect someone who is healthy from getting it.
Overkill. I'm immunocompromised and have done business as usual except a 6 foot rule and lots of hand sanitizer. Still alive. What are the gloves for??? Everthing wiped down and put into sterile bags???
Great instructional video! Nicely explained and demonstrated. I am surely going to be using the information in your video for my next project. Great job 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Darn, thought I was the only one who put trim that way - never seen anyone else do it. Fat side facing out is just so obtrusive, plus easier to get nice trim mitres this way
I couldn't find where you had a video on placement of a niche. I seen alot of your niches line up right on a grout joint. I would love to see a video on this
Awesome video! I was able to do my shower niche last fall off of your Modern Trim for a shower niche video. I’ve only tiled one other time 12 years ago. I think my shower niche turned out great along with putting LED lights in the upper part of the niche. This video helps fill in the rest of the blanks I had on this. Thanks for the great videos and ideas
Great 👍🏼 demo as usual. I have a question hoping you may answer. I’m retailing an enclosed ground. A 6 x 8 area. Removed the old tiles today. 3 or the 3 sides meets a stucco wall. The opening side meets pavers. How should i finish the ending. If possible please let me know. Thnx again.
I have a tiled shower and the tile around the drain came off, the drain cover removed, its soft cement or powdery material around the drain. Water goes through tbe wall to the outside. See photo, what material should i use to patch the hole through wall to outside and around the drain hole? See photo , i cant add photo here.
Question, In your opinion, is there any leak potential in the grout line between the trim and the shelf part of the niche? Usually a saddle will come out past the wall to eliminate that but I love the clean look that you achieved with the aluminum.
IF you do it this way you risk showing jagged edges unless you have the trip overlapping the exterior edges also. Personally I use T molding and it always looks beautiful in the end.
I'm base in uk im about to install similar tiles colour and size my tile thickness is 8.4mm and trim sizes here are 6,8,10,12 mm Which 1 should i go for?
Get the 10mm trim. Always have the trim bigger than the tile as it protects the cut edge (it normally is a cut edge) from chipping and slicing the fingers of those who like to admire by running their finger along it!!
Beautiful Job. One suggestion - I would set the bottom piece of the shelf first and then the back on top. I makes a better directional flow for the water to run out. Also make sit better to avoid possible leaks.

You slightly pitch lower tile with your mud
I always put the back tile in last so if the grout were to ever fail the chance of moisture getting in through that joint is reduced greatly
Interesting how you did it. I’ve always installed the edge trim facing out not in. I cut the wall tile tight to the edge of the niche and then the interior pieces. Not sure if one way is easier than the other or if it looks better.
It can be installed both ways, depending on how much metal you want to see looking at the niche straight on. We like minimal metal look...
@@LandbergTileTV are there any disadvantages to having it faced that way i.e water getting through grout?
@@LandbergTileTV I agree, much better than looking at a thick chunky edge from straight on
@@LandbergTileTV "we like to see minimal metal"
use plastic then😂 and stop putting trim the wrong way
@@ninjaacoos yeah in Australia we put the trim on the other way as well that’s just weird , it’s interesting how other countries do stuff
I Know how to work in the tile, a lot of work. Good video. Thank you to share your experience.
Have you done a video about tilling stairs. How do you protect the front edge of the tile from chipping?
Hey i just learned how to do this watching your videos. Thank you.
Glad I could help

I always tile niches following those steps
The shelf should have about an eighth or so drop to allow water to run out
Very good tip, I learned something new today, thank you!
Don't those pre-set niches always have a pre-slope on them ?
@@JavierLopez-nk2yz I have never used the pre made niches, so I am not sure of the slope. If there is mo slope then you can always lay the tile on a slight slope. I always build the niche.

Great job. The only thing l would do differently is to follow the grout line inside the niche. Its more work but the lines flow better.
Very clear demo, thanks from 🇨🇦. Why cut outside mitres and then snip instead of inside mitre cut?
Now I get it... so corners are angled correctly...

No benefits or difference, simply preference. 😎

I had never seen Schluter being mitered and look this good! Great video. Now I don’t have a need to use the Schluter corners which are expensive.
Thanks! Appreciate the comment
How much do you take into account for the thickness of the mortar when measuring? Or is that a factor?
Depends on how plumb the inside of the side parts of nich are. If straight. Allow for an 8th to 3 16th. Same applies,to top of. Nich
If assuming substrate is already installed perfectly plumb, and If using 1/2 x1/2 inch trowel, when you apply it it’s usually with a 45 degree angle against the tile of substrate, so the thin-set ridges will be 1/2 wide x 1/4 high. Then when you collapse them it’ll be a layer of 1/8 thick material. So theoretically, account for 1/8”.
You are very good at your job
Beautiful job! I'm assuming 1/16 spacing on both long sides of the Jolly trim? Could one butt the trim to the tiles and not place grout inbetween?
Thank you so much for clarifying the ceramic installation

Amateur put them that way. They just can't do a clean and nice 45 angle.
Yeah cause soap and plastic shampoo bottles really mark shit up ..or wait...since you guys are the MANLY PROS maybe it's your LOOFAHS that scratch it up...gtfoh
@@toddstacy5564 that's correct Todd. You are the type of guy that likes to have his trim the wrong way obviously.
Nice!! Very nice and quick!! How do you make 45° angles on the tile so you don't have to use the schluterprofile?
Miter the edge if you don't want to use trim, I have lots of videos on that, search mitered niche
Awesome. What color grout was that? Platinum?
Yes it was!
How’s the Covid situation over there sir Landberg? Is it affecting your work in anyway? Stay safe and thanks for your very entertaining vids 👍👍
Work is slow and Covid is no joke!
Landberg Tile TV, you’re right about the Chinese Wuhan Virus, aka Covid 19. It’s very contagious and very dangerous. I just wish more folks would take it seriously! I went to Home Depot this afternoon to pick up something to finish the range hood install. While there, I again witnessed the majority (95% +) not wearing a mask of any sort or gloves. These were a couple of folks with the flimsy surgical masks and a some with kerchiefs or bandanas around their face. At least they were making an attempt to protect themselves!
It’s very important that everyone immediately start wearing a mask (N95 preferably). I bought several masks at Home Depot a few months ago, as we’re remodeling the house. I never leave the house without donning my N95 mask, gloves, wraparound Milwaukee or Dewalt glasses, 75% alcohol spray, hand sanitizer and Clorox Wipes. Every item purchased from Albertsons, Costco, Fred Meyer, Home Depot, etc.is sanitized, wiped down and put in to sterile bags or boxes, prior to being brought into our home. In addition I’m trying to limit the frequency of my trips out.
We’re now going on three weeks of our self imposed quarantine. I’ve been the only one going out, for food/essential runs (This is Marty, I hijacked my wife’s account). In Boise, it seems that approximately 98% of the general public aren’t protecting themselves. They are carrying on with a business as usual attitude/mentality. They see me wearing a mask and give he a wide berth, thinking I’m sick. LOL! Freakin knuckleheads why would I go to this much trouble to protect everyone else. The mask, nitrile gloves, etc are for my protection and my Families. However, I’m doing my part by taking the preventative measures to not expose myself to the virus.
Yesterday, some lady asked me if I was sick. I said no, I’m trying to keep well and be safe from unmasked people like you. 6’ is a good idea, but if someone coughs or sneezes while you’re walking from behind the water droplets are going to find their mark. They can stay airborne for up to 10 minutes. I’ve started including the glasses, because the virus can enter through the eyes membrane.
Hopefully this message gets out and folks start taking this virus more seriously. The previous info published by the CDC and many healthcare individuals was that a mask wasn’t necessary, because it wouldn’t prevent you from catching the virus. I knew they were full of crap. Why would a person who was sick be out in public wearing a mask? If a mask prevents a person infected with the virus from spreading it, then it will protect someone who is healthy from getting it.
@Jerk Of All Trades Show me on the doll where trump hurt your feelings.
Overkill. I'm immunocompromised and have done business as usual except a 6 foot rule and lots of hand sanitizer. Still alive. What are the gloves for??? Everthing wiped down and put into sterile bags???
Absolutely fascinating to watch you work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great instructional video! Nicely explained and demonstrated.
I am surely going to be using the information in your video for my next project.
Great job 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Man you are very good thank you for all your hard work
Thank you too!
Darn, thought I was the only one who put trim that way - never seen anyone else do it. Fat side facing out is just so obtrusive, plus easier to get nice trim mitres this way
Looks better the other way
Great video. Just a suggestion please add more slowed video zoomed in on grout lines and trim thanks!
How much fall is standard bro?thanks your nice work
1/4" per foot, but we give a little more fall on our niches.
Where do you suggest I obtain some diamond polishing pads? Seems most common supply spots don't carry them...
I couldn't find where you had a video on placement of a niche. I seen alot of your niches line up right on a grout joint. I would love to see a video on this
Metal miter in the shower ? Corrosion concern?
Bevel the edge. So it can look factory. Thanks for the vocab reminder👍🏾
You got it!
Awesome video! I was able to do my shower niche last fall off of your Modern Trim for a shower niche video. I’ve only tiled one other time 12 years ago. I think my shower niche turned out great along with putting LED lights in the upper part of the niche. This video helps fill in the rest of the blanks I had on this. Thanks for the great videos and ideas
Great 👍🏼 demo as usual.
I have a question hoping you may answer. I’m retailing an enclosed ground. A 6 x 8 area. Removed the old tiles today. 3 or the 3 sides meets a stucco wall. The opening side meets pavers. How should i finish the ending. If possible please let me know. Thnx again.
I have a tiled shower and the tile around the drain came off, the drain cover removed, its soft cement or powdery material around the drain. Water goes through tbe wall to the outside. See photo, what material should i use to patch the hole through wall to outside and around the drain hole? See photo , i cant add photo here.
What size trim are you using? Would 5/16 inch trim work for 8.1 mm thick tile?
Question, In your opinion, is there any leak potential in the grout line between the trim and the shelf part of the niche? Usually a saddle will come out past the wall to eliminate that but I love the clean look that you achieved with the aluminum.
Not with a prefabricated niche and or waterproofed niche
Nice job. Can a niche be added to an existing shower and could you make a video of that?
no, but you can add a schluter E-Shelf
Really appreciate your channel. Big thanks.
I appreciate that!
IF you do it this way you risk showing jagged edges unless you have the trip overlapping the exterior edges also. Personally I use T molding and it always looks beautiful in the end.
Whats the name of material that he used to put in square and put tiles over to make the base?
What multi tool blade do you use to cut hardie board?
Lol.... for a sec I though he was Randy Savage!!😂😜 one of the best demo!! 🙏🙏
I'm base in uk im about to install similar tiles colour and size my tile thickness is 8.4mm and trim sizes here are 6,8,10,12 mm
Which 1 should i go for?
Get the 10mm trim. Always have the trim bigger than the tile as it protects the cut edge (it normally is a cut edge) from chipping and slicing the fingers of those who like to admire by running their finger along it!!
What are those fancy spacers ? Haven’t seen them here in UK
