Hexagon tile floor, LAYOUT to INSTALL Day by day issues when building a shower Part 5. Hexagon shaped tiles were very popular years ago, but faded from use for quite a long time, except for mosaic hex tiles. Today it seem hexagonal tiles are coming back and are again quite popular, they are now available in all sizes and formats, including very large and elongated hex tiles. It has to be noted that these shape tiles can be tricky to install, because they have six sides rather than four, so you now have to pay attention to keeping additional grout lines even in size. There are more joints to keep flat and lippage free, more lines that have to be kept aligned and true. In this video I go through the entire process from laying out the floor to the installation, I also show a mistake I made that can happen very easily, even to someone that has over 40 years of experience in the trade. the tile is installed on Ditra Heat Membrane over a plywood subfloor. All tile installed by Sal DiBlasi, Elite-tile Company, in the Boston North Shore area.

Sal, thank you for sharing 40 years + experience. I recently discovered your channel a few weeks back. Doing tile work has been a hobby for many years, I'm no expert. Learned what little I know on my own, no such thing as internet 30 years back. I do it for fun & to save $$. I can honestly say I've learned more from your expertise in the past few weeks than in the previous 30 years. Thanks again, Joe.

Thank you for showing us how it's done! Small master bath is next for me- walk in shower first with body sprays and a rain head, then small heated floor and smaller form tile. I'll be using your spacer for the spacer tip next time. It's nice having a smaller space to work!

Thanks again for sharing your years of experience! What a beautiful cut on the toilet flange. I have a question on how to cut hex tile in my bath that has irregular shape around door trim. Maybe make a template of cardboard?
