a message to the d.i.y'ers...

[Mr Tiler]

Do not do this lol

 

[PaulSmith]

Lol, shame as the cuts and layout is ok

 

[Andy Allen]

wtf....sticking tiles with silicone..??? just about seen it all now..

 

[Spud]

must have cost a fortune in silicone not to mention how long it must have taken

 

[Chalker]

It's had over 9000 views!! Take us out, and that's a lot of tiles getting stuck on with silicone.
wonder what he uses for grout? Decorators caulking! As it comes in a tube.

i have seen tiles stuck and grouted with finish plaster! They were floor tiles.

 

[Qwerty]

"I'm no tiler" he said!!!! Really!!??!!

£2 per tube. Coverage of roughly 1 tube per 10 tiles. Say 30 tiles per m2. That's £6 per m2. Average bathroom is 20m2 so that is £120 in silicone alone, cheap silicone at that! Facto in the time it takes, plus the hassle, plus cost of tiles, plus the cost again as it will fail within a year and that is one expensive stupid way of doing it.

Get a professional in!!!!!!!

Pricey but there is no reason that I can see why tiles should not be stuck on with silicone...

That has to be the worst video ever.:mad2::mad2:

 

[Ian]

That has to be the worst video ever.:mad2::mad2:

It has to be a joke Phil, a troll video! The scary part is that 42 people have given it the thumbsup for being helpful!!!!! Worrying.

 

[charlie1]

Someone must put an end to tile abuse, these things have a manufacturing cost and fitted correctly should last 30+ years minimum! How long would that last before they started falling off the wall from the bottom up!

 

[jond500]

Oops, should have watched this video first.. Just finished my bathroom and got through 100 tubes of out of date Gripfill as it was cheap. Made sure the plasterboard off cuts received plenty of PVA when I stuck them to the wall so the tiles will stick to the plaster that sounded a bit hollow.

Going to finish the grouting with left over bread sauce tomorrow ;P

Jon.

 

[White Room]

Silicone so do's not work, please ignore the lower pic...don't know what happened there

 

[Spud]

Ajax is right, there are several classes of adhesive dispersion , D class ,cementious C class and reaction R class silicone would come under R class and would be used in certain circumstances with particular products with certain substrates it's not what most pros would use in this circumstance but can be an option when needed for some difficult substrates .

I used some tubes of a product similar to silicon some months ago to stick a few tiles that we're bridging screed and plastic.did not give any guarantees but so far so good.will look up name when I can get in to garage.specialist product used by artisans

 

[RDTiling]

When I first started out I looked on you tube for videos to give me a helping hand with things. Some were ok, but then you come across this kind of rubbish.

as others have said, it is worrying that this video has received 'likes'.

This is is definitely a video of how not to tile!

 

[Mr Tiler]

well I laughed when he said.... 'im not a tiler, but look how easy it is' lol yes mate your nopt a tiler and its not that easy.
