Travertine tile Bathroom with heated floor.

Описание: SUBSCRIBE Learn how tile the right way
This is a time lapse video of the installation of an entire shower stall and floor with travertine tile. The install starts with the pre slope of the shower floor and finishes with the grouting of the bathroom floor. All the wall tile is installed with a polymer modified thinset, as is the Nuheat floor heating system and the Schluter Ditra. The floor tile is installed on the ditra with an unmodified thinset. When installing travertine tile it is important to remember that this stone is very porous, and requires that it be sealed before it is grouted. This video also shows the installation of the mud for the shower floor and the mosaic tile used on the shower floor, which is also travertine. A leveling system was used to help obtain a lippage free installation of the floor tile, the Progress Pro leveling system is the system used. Another thing to keep in mind is that waterproofing should always be used where needed and should not be omitted.
A pre pitch or pre slope under a shower pan liner is an essential part of a successful tile shower installation. A pre slope is the base under the shower pan liner which is pitched so that the any water that manages to get into the shower base can be directed to the weep holes in the three piece drain and out of the liner. If a pre slope is not installed under the liner then any water that filters into the base of the shower will remain there. To install a pre slope first a sheet of tar paper is placed on the subfloor followed by a metal lath to reinforce the mud, especially at its thinnest point at the drain. The deck mud is then shaped so that there is a slope of ¼" per foot sloping towards the drain. The part of the base furthest away from the drain will be higher than the drain, so as to create a positive pitch towards the drain.
