Bathroom Remodel Pt.3 Laying Floor Tile

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Apply thinset to the membrane and back-butter each tile. Lay tiles in the chosen staggered pattern, pressing them firmly. Insert the leveling clips (bases) under the edges of each new tile. Once adjacent tiles are in place, slide the blue wedges into the clip bases and use the specialized compression tool to tighten them. The tool has a dial to set the desired compression, ensuring consistent pressure across all tiles for a perfectly level finish. Pay close attention to placing shims correctly at all corners and along edges to avoid having to re-lift tiles later.

Goal: Continue laying tiles in a staggered pattern, inserting leveling clips, and using the wedge and compression tool to ensure a perfectly level surface.

so far so good [Music] got a few tiles uh put down or laid a few things that i learned right away too that i want to pass on to you guys these shims or these little level lifters best success is if you get them nice and flush against the tile that you've laid down first that way you keep your spacings 1 16 of an inch without it having it's hard to push it right back into place so get it right in there flush against the tile edge and then put lay the next one next to it second thing i've learned is that be conscious about everywhere you need to put your shims or your lifters um i've had already one piece of tile that i i forgot to put one in there because i didn't calculate where it went so to remove it place it again keep that in mind other than that things are going really well all i got to do is just start cutting out a circle over there to match that um and i'm going to use my angle grinder with a ceramic tile or porcelain tile basically a diamond bladed diamond coarse blade
