I am about to purchase subway tiles for my shower but my walls are not 100% flat. Some areas have a little over 1/8 gaps but nothing more. Would I need a leveling system or subway tiles will not be advisable. Thx.
Your videos are great, I appreciate all you work
By 'some people' you mea every other person that doesn't do tile. Its brick pattern.
As a tile guy I don't agree with not taping and mudding the whole thing but other than that a pretty good video
super super helpful. I'm facing this exact problem. will use this technique too.
I have a question that I can’t find the answer too anywhere. I’m tiling an old shower wall that was plaster n lathe. The holes in the plaster around the faucet knobs are too big and the plaster has crumbled away leaving no wall behind. How do I patch that so I can tile over it? Thanks.
Level the tub !
Can’t you just level the bath then
Completely understand what you mean with the smaller tile changing size going up on out of plumb walls. However, wouldn't the same problem happen with the rows that start with the full tile also? Since you can't make it longer, do you just make the grout line slightly wider in those spots or is there something simple I am overlooking? One wall is out of plumb slightly and then another I have is actually plumb top to bottom but has a bow inward in the middle. I spent the time to get all my walls in plant horizontally, but that ultimately make them out of plumb a little. Only about 1/8 to Max 1/4 so not really a huge issue. That finished job looks fantastic btw. Not usually a fan of dark tile in small area but looks great.
Hi do you take off the spacers before the thinset dry?
