These two are locked together at the joint in the middle and now I can continue clicking and locking subsequent pieces in order. Here are the first two pieces laid and you can see how nicely they align with the hallway tile without needing any transition. The only thing different is to pay attention to which sides you are cutting based on the where the tongues and grooves are. This tile cuts just like traditional porcelain tile. I used my inexpensive tile cutter that I’ve had for years for this tile job. I don’t like using transitions and wanted the two tiles to line up seamlessly. As you can see in the photo above, I needed to rip the entire first row down and cut off about an inch to make it line up flush with the tile in the hallway. Dry fitting and figuring out where to start the tile is probably the trickiest part of the process. And now I’m almost ready to start laying the tile! Step 2: Cut Door Jambsīefore I laid the first row, I used my multitool to cut the door frames so the tile fits under them. I easily cut around the closet and walls with scissors. I taped each seam with this FAST Underlayment Tape that I also purchased along with the rest of the supplies. It took maybe 20 minutes to lay this for the entire room! This is sold separately from the tile but necessary for the process. Step 1: Install UnderlaymentĪfter I removed the carpet and baseboards, I started laying the underlayment for the tile. Plus, this new DIY concrete tile goes perfect with the industrial theme I want to accomplish in this space. There wasn’t anything wrong with it per say, but it’s a very low quality carpet and was already pretty worn and dirty after only 2.5 years. Here’s the carpet situation that I started with. Pretty amazing, right? Let me show you how awesome this new REVOTILE is by Daltile! I shared the step by step video process on my instagram story highlight and also have a FAQ at the bottom of this post answering all the questions! No mortar, or traditional thin set is used with this tile. I am in the middle of redoing my son’s bedroom and just laid this click and lock DIY concrete tile.
