You lot are shocking. PVA? Seriously? PVA goes live again when it gets wet even if it has already dried in therefore causing tile failure. You should be using an SBR primer. Next ready mixed floor adhesive and grout? You should be using a powered cement based adhesive to give the tile the strength it needs to support foot traffic. Once last point you really need to stock check your adhesive because most of the stuff you have on your shelves is well past it’s shelf date and therefore is as much use as a chocolate ashtray. Shocking does not come close. Total disgrace selling that to unwitting customers. Bunch of broncos.
Had to stop watching when said they were using adhesive and grout in one.
Who are these two goons? Downthumb.
I like how the wine shelf is next to the oven lol
How do I no if I need to primer. I’d rather not. I’ve got Lino at the min..thanks

Hi there. Don’t you have to use a scarifier first to the floor for the adhesive to really have a good hold?
never use pva with tile adhesive ….use a proper tile primer otherwise you will end up with loose tiles
What about applying the concrete to the floor ??
how to brake the kitchen tile floor

how do you get old glued lenoleum off of a floor. It seems impossible
I like how the wine shelf is next to the oven lol
good lesson
at 4:00, correct me if im wrong but isnt that method of finding the 90deg angle rely on the original line drawn in the middle to be accurate?? if so then if that line is accurate wouldnt you simply use a right angle ruler to draw a 90deg line??
Great video…I enjoy making tile videos too. Check out some of my stuff. Thanks
Did you get the tile at the Home Depot
Your explanation on squaring the center tile is lacking. So you found the center of the room, and then you found a right angle. How does that help you square the first tile when the center is placed over any markings? It would seem to me that chalk lines should be placed parallel on the X and Y axis the same distance as the dimensions on the tile.
Nice work
wow
What about a nice cut of Lino ?
this wont work if your room whiles are not straight
Lay two chalklines along diagonally opposite corners. The intersection is the centre of a rectangular area?
Do I have to put conduct cable below the tiles on the kitchen floor??
Pva when using tiles. Tut tut. Amateurs. Like how you can see them reading the cue cards. Yep wine rack next to oven. Lol
i came.

I was just fired from my job because the boss said the right way to set tile is to start in the corner wall last time i recalled iv been doing this for 6 years n always use the center
