Shower niche tile installation begins with proper planning!!! Subscribe for more bathroom remodeling tips and visit homerepairtutor.com for awesome step-by-step tutorials
No forward slope on the bottom tiles? Good luck w that.
How much is a little bit sloped on the bottom row of tile?
Do you install the tiles right away after installing the metal?
you're the man
Why mot line the niche with the tile grout line?
Turned our really niche
Good job , but I don’t like the notched corners around the niche ☹ cheers
Why did you set the tiles touching each other instead of spacing them out with spacers?
Nice work!
Why wouldn't you land the entire niche on grout joints? Not proper planning.
@homerepairtutor
Which size trim did you use for the subway tile? 5/16 or 3/8?
If the shower is complete but the niche edge is crooked. Can that be fixed without starting the entire shower over
That was really good
incredible job. insane attention to detail thumbs up.
So this video isn't about showing you how to tile a niche its a bloody sales video. Do better
I think you need to slow down the start for the angle.
Hi, what happens to the exposed metal profile ? How do you cover it ? Thanks
I like my deep cut porta-band for profiles
Why did you grid down the area over the support legs on the side tiles but not the top or bottom tiles?
You mention an expansion joint. Exactly what did you mean?
I've watched niche video after niche video and while everyone always says "make sure there is a slope on the bottom of the niche to allow water to drain off", no one ever explains how to set that slope. Is it done by putting a larger amount of sealant under and to the back of the foam board and less sealant in the front part of the foam board for that bottom piece of the niche??? Is that all it is, using a greater amount of sealant in the back and not pressing down, squishing it all out and causing it to be level with no slope? The thicker layer of sealant maintains the slope of the niche? Sorry if I'm thick here but no one ever explains how to make that slope happen.
Thanks lots of quick info.
When using hexagon tiles you will always have a cut edge facing out. How do you handle that.
Nice job!
Great video, I didn't know about the border edge part so I had to run to the local hardware and get that set up before laying the tiles down. Good thing I watched the vid first lol
Soooo helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Matching the inside tiles looks AMAZING, definitely gonna use that idea
700 dollar tile cutter….. cmon man…..
Hi thanks for the quick and helpful video, my question is do you add grout between the tile and the trim pieces?
Beautiful job man. I just did a niche almost polar opposite. It kicked my butt. Did the back wall of niche then the top then sides then bottom of niche with 3/8" schluter edge on 3/8" tile. It was death. I wish I had 7/16 schluter but after looking it up there is no polished aluminium 7/16". Which I find super odd. Anyway it was brutal. Also makes having perfect square large format tiles on the wall difficult.
Oh my! Nitch not neesh
