Some suggest the thinset should be solid under a tile. The grooves set the mortar thickness, but the air gaps in between the rows allows squishing down to perfect height and level. That means there will always be some air space left below the tiles. If the floor drops away as you go to need thicker mortar, switch to a trowel with bigger notches, to avoid excessive air space underneath. I bought new-type spacers w/ a leveler wedge (Home Depot) which pulls each tile to be flush vertically with its neighbors. First time w/ those so will see how well it works.

Do not tile directly onto concrete. Use a decoupler. If you mortar the floor directly to the concrete and the concrete cracks, which concrete often does, the tile will crack too because there is nothing between the concrete and the tile helping to preventing it. There are many products on the market, Schulter Ditra, Mapei Mapguard 2, etc. You dont want to know the cost of having to fix a cracked tile floor.

Correct. I know it’s 5 months later but for the future viewer use a decoupler on new concrete because the cracks will shoot up through your tile.

Its not absolutely necessary but if the concrete already has hairline cracks than using ditra or at least a concrete membrance that can be painted on is best. If it was my house or job, i would paint the concrete first and put concrete fabric on top of any cracks.

@blaiseandthebambina Жыл бұрын

If the concrete is new then you should put some type of underlay to avoid tile cracks in the future. If your concrete is 7+ years old and you are redoing the flooring, you only need underlay if the concrete has cracks. If it looks good then no underlay required. Usually. 😉

Do you have to level the floor before laying the tile or can you just pour extra thinset to make up for the low spots? Specifically for a laundry room. Also would you happen to know if there is a maximum depth for leveling? Like if part of your house is falling down a hill and has a 2 or 3 inch low spot is it safe to have 3 inches of thinset? The reason I'm asking is for a house that has hardwood floors and I'm trying to raise the tile to be level.

Nice video despite all the criticism. Converting my garage into an ADU. The foundation is concrete and 30 years old without a single crack. I really do not see any reason to put an underlayment down. I have done tile over concrete before and just wanted a refresher course and the most important thing that I got from this video is using a long straight edge to run my tile against for a straight line. I have already placed all my tile down along straight edges that I'd drawn onto the concrete floor and made all my cuts for all my tile. I was afraid that I would lose my lines when placing the mortar down and my lines would not be straight bc they were covered up my mortar. With the straight edge in place i will be able to start both my vertical and horizontal tiles in place and the rest will follow straight. I am also using the Inline Leveling caps to insure all my tile in level.
