  • Is it more aesthetically pleasing to use large format tiles in small bathrooms? I am redoing a 7' x 4.5' bathroom. The shower area will be 34" from front to back including 4" curb. Was planning on using a 3"x6" beveled white subway tile for the walls and a 6"x6" tile for the floor, now I sm not sure. Fyi, I have zero design skills.

  • 12 by 12 are you serious that simple people should just learn on the own tiling insanely easy

  • It looked like about 65% coverage. Should be 95%. I also check flatness with a 4 foot level.

  • Great video ....may I ask the t lock system ? And which size did you use for this project ? And where can I get one of those?
