Thanks for the instructional video. I’ve done lots of tile but first time doing herringbone so wanted to see what I could learn that would help. I think the most important parts of the video are doing a dry layout first as that is always the same even with square or rectangular tile. The other important part was the focal point. It’s easy when you are just splitting a space in half but when the focal point is not center of an area, as in a stove mounted left or right of the center of a countertop. Working from the center of that spot where someone would stand frequently and be looking directly forward you’d want to see that center line of the tile. I’ll add that ceramic and porcelain tile often get chipped along the edge. Use a rubbing stone to polish the cut edge and that will reduce the visibility of the chips. You’ll find those where the tile tools are in most hardware stores. Anyhow, good video.

So glad the video was helpful 🙌. Thanks for your input, it's good to know what tips were most helpful. And yes, hundred percent agree with you on stoning the tile edges. I keep a rubbing stone on hand, but I usually use a polishing pad on an adjustable speed grinder 👍. Seems to work faster and smoother....I demonstrate it in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGupvKxsdKeYobg.html if you wanted to check it out👌

Could you provide tips on installing tile over a humpy floor. 3/8 inch gaps with 12x24 large format porcelain tile. We dry fit and it looks fine, but we know that we need to be careful and get it right the first time

@@HowToTileLikeaPro we did some.... Then we tiled over the ditra using a level and caliper to check for lippage before applying the wedges+the clips that they go into. We made the floor level and flat by adding however much mortar it required to get them level and flat. We had a few mistakes and had to smash a few to redo them. They came out fine and were VERY difficult to smash. We will level the floor using a 50 gallon drum next time we have a large area to level, but I think this will work well

This is the best video I’ve seen on the herring bone tiles! Thank you! How do you pick the focal point? I have an oven on this wall and the end comes out into the room (it’s an L shaped wall) Would you line up the oven or the end so it ends perfectly? Also I’ve heart some who say start in the corner?

Question: on the herringbone mosaic sheets, do you back butter the sheets? Thanks for your videos, Tile Pro! Your other video, backer-board for the saw bed when cutting mosaic sheets... what a great tip!

@HowToTileLikeaPro

Grateful your getting value from my videos🙌🙌. And no, you don't need to back butter small sheet mounted tiles, as long as your thinset is fresh & tacky. Back buttering the sheets will make it more likely to get thinset in the joints, which would create alot more work👍. 1/4 inch trowel depth usually works best for this thickness of herringbone 💯

@@HowToTileLikeaPro Had good luck today with my 3/16" V-notch trowel, no back butter because you're right, it makes a mess. My herringbone mosaic sheets are 5/16'" thick (stone) and approximately 12" x 15" sized sheets. Would I be better off going up to a 1/4" notched or v-notch trowel? Watching more of your videos, they're great. I'd love to see a video about basics, like how to manage the trowel, loading it with thin set, how to keep a clean and organized workspace. Seems like I'm wearing more thin set than I can get onto the backer board! 🙂Thanks again for the videos, they're clean, clear and well presented.

@@jefandbac7060 yes, it's always nice to match the corners. It does get tricky though if you have 2 different focal points like on this Backsplash. One wall had the range hood area as a focal point, the other wall had a window as a focal point. I was able to center both, and fold the corners... but sometimes it doesn't work out like that. So you kinda gotta play with it, there's 2 ways to center, so center it the way it benefits both walls👌 Hope that makes sense 🙏😁
