Good video, couple of questions. What type of trowel did you use? I am looking to install 2x2 Tiles on the floor an the idea of cleaning grout out of all of those joints scare me. I was thinking a 1?8" trowel, is that feasible? Did you have any problems with uneven tiles? I have a shower on a slab but the original installer did a mediocre job using standard 4x4 tiles on the floor. They are bonded very well to the concrete and are rather level but not perfect from tile to tile by any means. I fear that I will have a problem with the next level accentuating the unevenness

Thank you . Trowel size I would say 1/8 is good for you. About the uneven tiles if you aren't removing them then try to skim it with thinset first let it dry then install on top. Skim I mean go over with the flat side of the trowel and thinset to try and even as much possible. Good luck 👍🏽

You did not show the caulking around the perimeter. I watched the entire video just for that part. What caulk did you use? Did you caulk over the perimeter grout?
@datileguy301

Definitely we did. Maybe didn't show it. I like to use the silicone caulk that matches the Grout.

Melissa best way to solve the ponding issue is install new tiles with epoxy thin set and grout short answer. But a lot has to be done prior to this to prep the surface so you will not have tile failure. It involves grinding old tiles to scarify the surface then epoxy primer then broadcast sand 20/40 fine then install new epoxy mortar bed to slope to drain properly then apply liquid roll on water proofing membrane ( Mapei aqua defense) 2 coats apply new tiles within 48 hours of membrane if not done in that time thin set will not stick use epoxy thin set embed tiles then epoxy grout this floor will NEVER fail I fix leaking showers every day and have for 20 years never had a call back the video shown with Schluter Kerri will fail call Phil at Schluter corp he will tell you the same this person does not know anything about building showers and is a hack

2 inch thin cracks or a total hole of 2 inches. If it's a small crack. Put some mesh tape n thinset on first then put this down or some redguard they sale at homedepot. And good thinset to install the tile again

Kerdi membrane will not help with cracking its not a crack isolation membrane. I am a licensed tile contractor with my specialty cert in marble tile terrazzo and ceramic been doing tile for 41 years and this process will not last and is not sanctioned by Schluter.

I also want to tile over my ugly fiberglass pan so I might do this instead of ripping the whole floor , I think you right , if the water is leaking out to the subfloor you cannot do this but if it’s a solid base it’s good to go ! Even people with license do Mickey Mouse sometimes lol 😂 some contractors are full of it 🤣

What type of answer is that? How that it was the customer’s budget? Bro the mapei gallon is $45 bucks and it’s the proper way to do it. Read the instructions of the schulter membrane 🤦🏻♂️

Hey Bro it looks like you don’t know the difference between Schluter Kerdi membrane and Mapei water proofing membrane so I don’t need to respond to your comment because you don’t know what you’re talking about. I sent this video to Phil and Brian who are sales reps and head of installations for North America and they laughed first and then confirmed that not only will this fail but Schluter does not recommend this type of install. So got take some classes get educated on products and processes. Until keep your trap shut. It’s guys like you running around do hack work that give my industry a bad name.
