thank you. I install tile A LOT as a renovator and I think every time i watch one of your videos I pick up another helpful tip or nuance that I can use. Always appreciated.

Thanks for going the extra mile to bring us along in a way that not only makes sense but looks amazing. Your video quality seem to be a reflection of your attention of detail in your tile work.

I’m really grateful for guys like you. The amount of time you put in the videos cannot be appreciated enough!!! Thx a ton

Got lucky on that toilet flange if I didn’t watch the whole thing I would’ve guessed you did the layout off the flange lol nice job !!!

I like how you do it systematically. Nice. 👍

I'm wife just picked out Hex tiles doe our walk in shower, this is going to be a big help thanks for that you do.

Thanks for your videos much appreciated from Australia 🇦🇺

I like how tiles worked out around toilet flange.👍

Excellent video, a good explanation of how to lay everything out. Thanks!

We're DIYers and today's our fist ever tiling job, which just so happens to be in a similar size bathroom and with the same size hexagons and layout as you used in this video. So, this couldn't be more relevant and your tips are very helpful. Appreciate the extra time and effort that goes into sharing your content. Cheers!

Love your videos man. You've helped me with multiple diy projects

Your video literally saved me so much time!!!

Man you’re so chill lol, just finished doing my small half bath with octagon Carrera tile and it was like a stress test haha. Looks great though so was worth it.

Well thought out and good work sir.

Great video, thanks Isaac. Keep it up! Love from London.

Nice Job. I’ve only ever done square or rectangular tile so this was great to watch before I tackle our bathroom. Mine is way out of square but I will definitely lay it out dry which is really good tip. Thanks for taking the time.

This is literally my next project, perfect timing

Nice video...As a DIYer it would have been really helpful about 2 weeks ago as I did tiled a basement bathroom with hex tile. Still learning. Thank you

I’m so glad I came across this video. Your video is well put together, and easy for me to understand. I have done tile before, but not a floor. I am going to do the bathroom upstairs. It’s a little bigger than this but all in all I think I can get it done. I will let you know how it goes.

Watched the whole thing! Awesome man!

Planning on retiling my half bathroom in the near future. Thanks for the tutorial. The measuring is still slightly confusing to me 😂.

17:55 And I [We] so do APPRECIATE the extra time it takes to make these videos for us. Know don’t have/need to; so I greatly appreciate what you’re doing🙏🏻 Nice job on this little bathroom, and like the bigger hex tile compared to the smaller ones, little easier to cut; than again, just depends on the job itself, etc…😉 You have yourself a good day and hope things been going great for you, family, and your crews. Just a quick question for ya, you been having trouble getting blue remodel electrical boxes (1 gang and 2 gang) as well over in CA? Catcha L8R on the next, cheers Isaac✌🏻

Thanks for all your videos...so helpful! I'm tiling a bathroom right now with identical hex tile over ditra xl. At the ditra/tub contact my tile shop recommended waterproofing the joint by 'caulking' with kerdi-fix, then applying kerdi-band with All Set onto the ditra parallel with the tub. I just watched another of your videos where you show that Kerdi-fix is not a sealant but an adhesive and will wind up leaking. I'm wondering if I'd be better off caulking the joint between the ditra and the tub with silicone instead and then kerdi band before tiling. I'd really appreciate any help!

Solid video, some good fundamentals. Testing for square can be done pretty quickly with the 3-4-5 system as well.

I watch your videos all the time and have learned a lot. I would like to see a video of how you do a linear drain. I have remodeled two shower already and moved the drains to accommodate a 24inch and a 36 inch linear drain with fantastic result. But I would like to see how you do it, since it's a little different from a traditional single drain. Thanks

Every home owner I’ve ever met that mentioned hex tiles always gives off a “I miss my coke days in the 80s” vibe

Beautiful

Perfect job, but to avoid the problem of cover lines with thinset, what I do it is once a time I instal the first tile or two tiles, I put the square laser on top of the first tile and just follow the laser lines !!!! Thanks

Great job explaining all your prep! Bro, you need a laser level that shoots an x!

Thanks for the video, I'm grateful for you sharing your vast knowledge. I was waiting to see how you level the tile, is this not required? Thanks again!

Thank you for these excellent videos! Why did you backbutter the doorway tiles only?

Came for the layout, stayed for the install.

Good support 👍

Nice thanks!

This video is great to show why you should start at the door and make your way out. Most important place is when you step in. As you can see leaving it to last gives you half pieces there

I love "TileCoach", I love "TileCoach". I bought the yellow bucket liner it recommended, but I found that I prefer the blue bucket liner one, which is cheaper and thicker.

Do you need to back butter those tiles? If you have 5x7 hex tiles do they need to be back buttered?

Dang. Now I want hexagon tiles in my home.

Thanks!

You might to checkout the video, "trowel and error" the NTCA put on with custom building products. just a helpful tip.

@TileCoach What camera are you using for filming? How do you manage with angles in tiny rooms such as this? Wide angle lenses or built in camera features? Thanks!

I check in with the wife. That was to funny u mention that. Lolz

Tile coach, what are your thoughts on the Guru shower system? Would you be willing to do a video on it??

Keep making them!! Do it for Jesus! I appreciate you and making informative videos.

I this situation I would get a center line in the room first the square off the center line and adjust as needed. You can then adjust the lines from the center to get the cuts on all four walls equal from side to side! I feel your pain on that last piece of tile!

So we were tiling shower walls with octagons. Tough! Recommendations on octagons against the Schluter?

Hi @TileCoach Is there a reason why you’re using those horseshoe spacers, instead of the ones that also maintain the tile level like the wedges for example?

I wonder if taping lines with 1/4" tape and removing after mortar is spread would work.

Nice vid

I will be putting similar tiles soon in my bathroom. I have already poured 1/2 inch self leveling concrete over plywood subfloor and my question is do I need to use unmodified thinset or can I use modifed with polymer? Because based on the reading I have done so far I have understood I need to use unmodified. Am I correct?

I agree that the no spacers on hexagons is sometimes a lot easier.

How lucky you were with that toilet flange (or was it luck)!👍

What’s a good sqf price for installation on hex? Not sure if I’m charging low

Do you have to back butter ?

Coach, How is it you aren't forcing the tiles down more? It seems you are just setting them on top of the mortar. Won't that leave a weak bond? Thanks!

I’d like to see a video like this where it’s not a “perfect fit” because that’s usually how my tile jobs end up, and I have to figure out how to fix it.

You should hashtag that bond braker. I couldn't find anything on the web when I ran across this on my master bath.

Question: I noticed you back-buttered that last tile in the entry way, but didn't see you back-butter the rest of the room. Is that because the entry gets the most foot traffic?

Do you host any classes in LA?

Is there a reason for not back buttering the tiles?

Hi I have to put a terrace with tiles and I don't know how to give the waterfall ?? Any help or ideea. I have two drain pipes on the small side

I calculate 90degree lines. 3-4-5 is the tool for having right triangle where one corner is 90 degree. Google 3 4 5 triangle.. you can multiply those when having larger areas.

How hard do you press on the tile wen you install them

Coincidence or karma? I’ve been subscribed for while now and have had a hex tile planned for just as long. Thanks! I’m hoping to center my tile on the doorway if the cuts left and right don’t end up as slivers. I’ll find out soon….

You love getting a check from youtube

I am looking at using a very modern base board that requires that the floors be tiled before the drywall goes up and a few of the sub contractors are a little gripped with that. hahaha So Terrazzo tile, then baseboard and then drywall, it's not the order that contractors are use to doing.

Will you not have any lipage?

At about 12:25 in, you measured from wall out 11.5” and the measured from control line 3 1/8” to get where to start with first 2 full tile pieces. But, you ended up starting with half tiles from wall. So, why am l measuring out from wall?

I back butter every tile i set, especially on floors
