    Latest i have been told is remove the kickboards and tile past them to where the unit feet fit on the floor. That way, the kick boards are not stuck to the tiles. They can then be easily removed for any emergency. The kick boards are trimmed to accommodate the height of the tiles before they are refitted.

      A true craftsman would have a dust mask on when cutting with a grinder, would not drag the sealant but push it along the line you wish to seal this helps avoid voids in the sealant and would centre the tile pattern not much more work but looks much better.

    how fortunate for readers that i stumbled across this. Firstly;
    Tiles are only as good as the surface they're attached to. Surface should be clean, dry and reasonably flat. If the floor moves up and down don't tile it until you've added extra bracing to strengthen it. When you're satisfied the structure is solid ensure it is clean. If you have wooden floorboards, overlay with fibre cement board. The boards will likely move slightly and while your tile may survive you will have an issue with the grout popping out in places which will annoy you. If old but solid particleboard, apply a primer to stop contaminants (old yucky stuff) interfering with the adhesive's ability to bond to it. If the area is going to be subjected to regular wetting - e.g. you tend to overflow the bath occasionally, apply a waterproof membrane to the floor and slightly up the walls - 20mm or so, especially on an upper level. Include a floor waste so the water can escape, otherwise it will penetrate the grout joints which are NOT waterproof; hit the membrane and travel out of the room to, say, the hallway and you'll get the carpet wet. Yeech. Make sure the floor slopes slightly toward the waste. Set out and lay the tiles noting that the larger the tile the larger the notch in your trowel should be to facilitate adequate coverage of the adhesive under the tile. Back buttering the base of the tile with adhesive using the flat side of the trowel improves bonding and helps fill in any voids. Good bonding coverage is important because when some dainty girl enters the room wearing high heeled shoes the weight projected onto the floor at the point of the heel is more than the weight of a large elephant. If there is a void between the tile and floor - the heel can crack the tile. Once laid - stay away from them until you're confident the adhesive is dry enough to walk on (and add a contingency) If you interrupt the curing process you will likely compromise the installation. Grout and invite all your friends over to show off your DIY skills. You're welcome :)

      "Back buttering the base of the tile with adhesive using the flat side of the trowel improves bonding and helps fill in any voids" ............are you saying one should do this in conjunction with chucking and spreading adhesive onto the floor - cheers DIY man I am

    • @stevejones9044
      @stevejones9044 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      As a DIYer myself I've learned to butter the backs of larger tiles at least along with applying mortar on the floor. Buttering the tile along with applying the mortar on the floor really improves bonding. I have proof too. The original builder of our house did NOT back butter the 12x12 tiles on the entry way and many have come loose. One came up and it was obvious they did not pre-butter any of the tiles. In this case its tile over concrete.

    Perhaps it's just the flooring under the backer board, but typically manufactures recommend using fiberglass tape and thinset to "bond" each backboard to the one next to it, thus creating an entire new floor so to speak. but otherwise..looked good.
