Thinset, Layout, Tools & First Row 12 x 24 Tile

Over the past 20+ years I've made every mistake and have learned the hard way on almost every aspect of Bathroom Remodeling 😃 That's why I created this channel! To help you efficiently remodel bathrooms and learn the tricks of the trade. In this video I highlight the process of installing 12 x 24 tiles in a standard size shower. This is Day 3 of a Tub to Shower Remodel Here are my key tips for setting 12 x 24's 1. Use a non-sag modified thinset. I've been really liking Mapei Ultralite mortar - https://shoplowes.me/49mDb36 But my favorite of all time is Ardex X5 2. Use a Tile Leveling System 👍 This will make it much easier to get all tiles aligned and flush with one another. My favorite system is Perfect Level Master - https://amzn.to/4xEp7MY 3. Use a laser level, this will make sure the first row is level 👌 Huepar Laser - https://amzn.to/4oBp28L Laser Pole - https://amzn.to/4fMnWEH 4. Use Horseshoe Tile Spacers (much better than rubber spacers at box stores!) 1/16” horseshoe spacers - https://amzn.to/4vo5WWg 5. Use a Larger size trowel I prefer a Euro Notch Trowel - https://amzn.to/4efQO73 1/2" x 1/2" works too - https://amzn.to/3PF4yPl 6. Use a good snap cutter My favorite is Montolit Masterpuima - https://amzn.to/44e6GRw 7. Back butter tiles 8. Start from center with a full tile on first row - creating a folding look in corners For support & 10% off Tile Redi Products Enroll in my Online Course 👉https://www.bathroomremodelingteacher.com/...
