Floating porcelain tile system Snapstone introduces its floating porcelain tile system, designed to expedite tile installation. Snapstone Tile is a 12- by 12-inch genuine porcelain tile that is permanently adhered to an injection-moulded tray. The tray is designed with a non-skid, sound-deadening, crack-isolating grid that allows the product to be placed directly over almost any hard-surface subfloor. The tray features eight interlocking tabs on each side. These tabs allow the individual tile to snap together when installing, providing perfect spacing between tiles. The unique design allows the tile to float, eliminating the need to adhere tile permanently to the subfloor. Consequently, a specially formulated grout is necessary.
