Building A MASSIVE Deck Part 7 - Deck Hatch and Deck Ceiling Install
What happens here
Max, a team member, prepares and installs large format porcelain tiles onto the outdoor kitchen frame. He uses a tile cutter to precisely score and break the tiles, then applies thin-set mortar to the backer board using a trowel. The tiles are carefully set, and a vibration tool is used to ensure maximum adhesion and levelness. Spacer clips are used to maintain consistent grout lines and even surfaces.
Goal: Install large format porcelain tiles on the outdoor kitchen structure.
