this video shows how to lay large tiles on an unprepared , uneven concrete screeded floor without using a self levelling compound.
The Superspreader used in this video has been redesigned to incorporate a fold-over which reinforces the spreader and alleviates the necessity to apply any further reinforcement as mentioned in the video. If you click on the card icon in the top corner of the video a further video is revealed showing me explaining the changes. the Superspreader can be purchased at www.diytilingstore.com

Fantastic! Nothing better than learning from an old hand. Thank you!
Awesome…very nice uncle…hhhh
Le dos le dos le dos!!!!!!!!
Greetings to you from Egypt
very nice work
It’s great except he’s not pressing down with a lateral side pressure to flatten the ridges of the mud and it’s leaving air between the tile and the mud which is preventing it from being as strong as possible and leaves too much of an opportunity for weak spots especially in high traffic areas. I hate to be critical but it’s just the way it needs to be done.
Love your technique! Straight forward for any beginner! Thanks a lot for this tutorial.
nice job …..this is amazing
very good job sir looks great
its amazing how many experts of tile there are…. he’s laying the tile in the best way possible. there are videos where they lay glass on different spreads and this is the best way.
Well done Sir..
Great job, thanks, you make look this so easy
The man is brilliant
I love closed captioning
Very nice work
thank you sir, a very informative video.
Very good job.
I like the tips and I liked the person. Thanks buddy! great guy, great tips!
great idea! but scratch the floor and flash the tile first so you get a bond
Absolutely incredible to watch!
time consuming???? this gentleman is showing the ‘homeowners’ how to do tile clean easy end simple ,,,now if you are a professional tile setter you don’t need to watch this video and keep working don’t waste your time here
I’m tiling 20 years .. and never seen this before …. this is stupid.and Time consuming…. … I wish i would have floors this good to tile .. id be a millionaire
You are the best, I learn something today❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
MANY MANY thumbs up ! I loved the idea… I am sure there is a few phases where you would have to leave the tiles to dry before you can use it as a track…
The neatest tile master I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the soap and silicone trick. Bravo!
The empty space under the first tile of every row really bothers me. Otherwise a very handy technique. I’m just doubting if it is any cheaper than leveling the floor before you start. You really need a very high amount of tile adhessive
this man inspire me alot… nice work
Wow! This is truly amazing.where can one pick up that spreader?
You need a long pole to make it function like a rake old man . You will break your back bones that way. a very good idea though.
Good method but time consuming fair play ode geeza
Hello, Thanks for the video, but why not just use self-leveling compound?
q lindo travajo
4.58 – He farted !!
Great job papa
Now I definitely know how to Jesus looks
awesome
Great
This is a great idea for spreading mortar for tile as long as the floor is level first so I would use a self leveling floor concrete or metal lathe with concrete or add a aggregate to the mix for a large pitch such as one and a half to two inches depending on how much of pitch is on that floor if its for concrete. For wood, I’d add the self leveling compound, make sure it’s level, then use the waterproofing membrane or waterproofer over the concrete, then add either a fiberglass product over it for extra protection or just use the water proofer, then the mortar or adhesive, then the tile and grout, then the tile sealer. Great idea for working in a tight area though so I give you credit for that.
And ta-ran after one year you finish jajajajaja
Old people know everything.. you might be doing a million years..perferct
Terrible system, don’t use it. Not only are the tiles barely attached to the floor, you’ll ruin your back. Kneepads are your friends.
This is linear thinking, a trait peculiar to the master race.
Roy southby I really enjoyed this video every minute! the way you set up the tile shows me you have a great system to level the tile quiet well!! thanks for sharing with all of us who do this type of work!! a lot of people would rather die and take their secrets to the grave than share as well as you did! thank you sir! great job! may God give you a longer life so that you may continue to make more videos and continue to share with us! God bless you!!
Robert Duvall great actor and great tiler.
Pretty damn impressive
amazing video..
good trick. thanks for sharing
You are the man, a master, clean work, uniform clean bright shoes, and an iron back, you could give some lessons to many of these tile masters an big mouth
Large porcelain tile needs at least a 1/2 inch trowel because of the cupping of large tile.The way this guy is doing it.it takes twice the time and when he is finished he will have a hollow floor that wont last a year.
wonderful boss
