This DIY video tutorial explains how
to tile a bathroom floor.
Review:
Overall, the video provides great advice, a few tips, and answers to some
commonly asked questions in a short time. However, the speaker does not
introduce himself and talks too fast. Otherwise, his personality and
professionalism make a good DIY instructor. The video is also free from
distractions and ads which makes a great viewer experience.
The video assumes viewers have a fair amount of knowledge already. It leaves
too many questions unanswered for the beginner DIYer. When the speaker tiles,
he does not mention the size of the tile he’s using or whether that is a
determining factor in the mortar needed, modified vs. unmodified.
Further, he’s using a ceramic tile. Do DIYers use the same products and
procedures for other types of tile? He also starts in the middle but doesn’t
say why. What if this leaves an odd-sized strip near the wall?
Starting at the three-minute mark, he quickly skims over the finishing steps
leaving DIYers with more questions than answers. For example, how much gap
should be between the tile and trim? Addressing details and slowing down the
speech will help to satisfy viewer intent.
