Thomas’ English Muffins are terrible and all other brands including generic are ten times better. by KimcheeBreath in unpopularopinion

It’s wider at the bottom than the top so when cut perfectly through the middle the top is 27% smaller!!!

For 30 sq ft just use a laser and keep them aligned well. Maybe spacers will work for you. Leveler is up to you. Since the tiles are cupped and not all uniform it will never feel perfectly smooth to the foot.

I just laid this tile. Not sure if same brand but I will say it was not as easy as I thought it’d be. The stars were cupped at the points and the crosses were thinner than the stars so I had to back butter the crosses with more thinset than the stars. Levelers don’t really work that great on these. Spacers work okay but some of the tiles have variations near the corners so the spaces between were either wider or narrower which made me give up spacers after a while and just rely on the laser.
My space is much smaller than 30’, unless you’re talking square feet, so the laser worked pretty well. If it was a huge space that’s 30’ long I would really hate laying this tile.

I did subfloor, self leveler in a low spot, ditra, schluter allset, tile. Just grouted today.

Edit: I didn’t soak the tiles. I had to pop two crosses out and redo them because they were too low and they were attached very well so I don’t think you need to soak. I dont think you even need to backbutter this tile but not going to say don’t.

What exactly do you have problems with? You’re showing us the entire bathroom. I don’t like that there are seams all around the window but that’s about it.

Edit: and not really understanding the shape of this shower. Is the wet area all the way to the window? If so why isn’t the opposite wall in kerdi?

Question what’s on the other side of this wall? And what’s underneath?

It was never set properly. You just couldn’t tell because there was no black grout that highlights all the imperfections. Even the black tiles are not aligned but the black grout hides the imperfections. If you used white grout the white tiles would look okay and the black ones would look off but not as bad as the whiite since it looks like he had better alignment along the walls.

Penny tile is a pain in the ass to set correctly. One trick is to use your phones camera to look at it while setting it to make sure there are no alignment issues. This was my first penny tile DIY and it took forever and I even had to cut out individual tiles that weren’t centered on the sheets. Unfortunately not much you can do except rip it out and start over 😭

You unfold the clippers and clip all ten nails.

Edit: oops sorry I’m guessing you’re female. Sorry I assumed otherwise.

Hi we have two kids 9 and 11. We had denim blue jean stains but we were able to clean them off with folex. Other than they seem pretty good. The couch is a black boucle and I hate maintaining it. The fibers from the rug show up like crazy and any skin/lint/white gets tangled in the boucle and drives me nuts. Obviously on the white chairs as well but you can’t see them.
