Installing Porcelain Tile

Add value and appeal with easy-to-install flooring.

For indoor projects, floating porcelain tile, such as SnapStone® interlocking tile, is the most contractor-friendly method to installing your client’s new porcelain tile. Floating porcelain tile simplifies your installation by reducing prep time, materials and mess. Installation is faster than with other flooring because floating porcelain tile does not require cement board, special underlayments, or mortar and needs less subfloor preparation than regular porcelain tile installations. Tiles sit on an interlocking plastic tray with a non-skid base and can be installed directly over existing flooring surfaces including hardwood, vinyl, ceramic or concrete. The grid eliminates thinset or underlayment and makes for a perfect alignment. By cutting down on steps and time-consuming efforts, floating tile systems allow you to turn around a new floor for your homeowner in a day.

Advantages Of Floating Porcelain Tile

  • Less floor prep – especially in remodeling.
  • Easy installation – No need for specialized labor. Anyone can lay the tile and it can be laid from multiple directions.
  • Quick installation – Tile can be laid and grouted on the same day. Self-aligning system ensures symmetrical grout lines without the need for spacers or grids.
  • Installs over existing vinyl, hardwood, or tile floors – No need for time-consuming, costly tear out.
  • Since it’s a floating surface, there’s no need to invest in time-consuming crack isolation systems.

Selling Points To Your Homeowners

  • Easy maintenance
  • Allergen-resistant
