Is there a more efficient method to tile without a transition strip, as my husband is finding the process time-consuming and difficult?
Hey everyone! So, my husband and I are currently in the middle of a tiling project at home and we’ve hit a bit of a snag. We’re trying to get the tiles to flow seamlessly from the living room into the open kitchen and hallway, and now my husband wants to continue that flow into the bedrooms without any transition strip at the doorways. It’s turning out to be a bit trickier than we anticipated.
He’s been spending a lot of time in one of the rooms, meticulously placing each tile from door to wall because he doesn’t want to step on the freshly mortared tiles. It’s definitely a slow process, and he’s finding himself a bit trapped in there. He’s had to redo some of the tiles because they weren’t perfectly straight, adding to the time it’s taking.
We’re only able to work on the weekends due to our weekday jobs, and my husband has even taken some time off to focus on finishing the tiling. But it’s looking like it might take longer than expected, especially with a baby on the way and more rooms to tile.
Do you guys have any tips on how we could speed up the process, especially for the other bedrooms, without resorting to using transition strips
2×8 or 2×10 boards are placed from left to right, supported by small 4×4 chunks. You can walk on them and work underneath to finish the entire room at once, with only the last one or two rows on the ends remaining. Those will have to wait until the middle ones dry.
