Teaming Up With The Inspired Hive: Week 4 & 5

Posted by M-D Building Products, Inc. on

Week 4 came and went but tile installation isn’t always as swift. Yet, we’re thrilled for Nicole, from The Inspired Hive, and her progress on re-tiling her shower. She’s making excellent progress on her master bath remodel.

In our Week 3 post, we discussed all the supplies we contributed to help Nicole reach her goal. We couldn’t be happier to hear how easy it’s been for Nicole to use our 20″ Tile Cutter Pro.

20″ Tile Cutter Pro

Our 20″ Tile Cutter Pro, is a heavy duty cutter used by contractors and DIYers. It’s far from intimidating due to its easy-to-use features. Simply line up the tile and run the handle over it to score the tile.  You only have to score the tile once to achieve the perfect cut!

The above photo is from Nicole’s re-model. We love the how the subway tile is turning out. To recreate a similar look make sure to use our 3/16″ Tile Spacers! Using tile spaces allow for accurate tile alignment. Once the tile is set, be sure to remove the spacers before grouting!

Make sure to check back next week to see the final reveal of Nicole’s master bathroom!

It’s week three of the One Room Challenge and our partner, Nicole, from The Inspired Hive is making great progress on her master bath remodel!

New beadboard and vanity

This week’s focus is mostly on the beadboard and vanity but… Nicole does start tiling her shower! We’re thrilled to have contributed by providing:

  • Ceramic Tile Kit Bucket
  • 20 in. Tile Cutter PRO
  • Extra Tile Spacers (3/16”)
  • Extra Cutting Wheels
M-D Ceramic Tile Kit Bucket and contents

Our ceramic tile kit bucket includes essential items needed to install, and our 20 in. Tile Cutter PRO makes cutting tile a breeze! With these two M-D items you’ll be able to take on any tiling project!

Teaming Up With The Inspired Hive: Week 2

Make sure to check out The Inspired Hive as Nicole embraces Demo Day! (Chip Gains, you’ve basically made this “day” a national holiday.) But demo is never easy and, as we all known, it’s rare to finish the day without one or two hiccups.

Nicole will take you through her journey of removing all her shower tile, old cement board and vanity. This week she also introduces her readers to our PROVA products. Our PROVA products are 100% waterproof, prevent mildew and are an easy alternative to traditional shower installation.

Applying PROVA-SEAL to PROVA BOARD PLUS+ and wall studs

Since Nicole stripped her shower down to the studs she used PROVA-BOARD® Plus+ . We love this product because it’s a great alternative to cement backer board, it’s incredibly lightweight, easy to cut & fit to any shower size, vapor proof, structurally sound, comes with a 10-year warranty and did we mention waterproof!.  To install the PROVA-BOARD Plus+ all you’ll need PROVA FASTENERS® and PROVA-SEAL™. PROVA-SEAL can also be used to waterproof and seal pipe and valve protrusions in showers. This product has a rapid cure rate and is water ready in 1 hour!

Clearly, we love our PROVA products but we were thrilled when Nicole told us, “PROVA install was a breeze!”
