What happens here
Although the actual process is not explicitly shown in the video, this final segment implies the completion of the tile installation, with the DIYer observing the finished (or nearly finished) work. After the thin-set mortar has fully cured, the next essential steps for a functional and aesthetic shower would involve applying grout to fill the spaces between the tiles, ensuring a waterproof and durable finish. Following grouting, any excess grout haze would be meticulously cleaned from the tile surfaces, and any natural stone tiles or cementitious grout would typically be sealed to protect against moisture penetration and staining, thus preparing the shower for use.
Goal: Fill tile joints with grout, clean, and seal the tiled surface for a finished shower.
