Each unit will be designed with an integrated grout column, manufactured from an impervious, durable, and semi-flexible urethane - creating a tile assembly system that will not discolor, chip, crack, or stain over the lifetime of the flooring project.
This system will be designed with interlocking connectors, allowing the system to be quickly assembled. Tiles will be permanently affixed to the Tile Frame - allowing the customer to assemble directly from the product packaging.
The engineered connection design will be compatible with rectangular tiles (12x24 / 15x30) and square tiles (24x24, or other sizes). Tiles can be installed utilizing a HALF-OFFSET pattern or TILE OVER TILE pattern, as is typical with square tiles. Other configurations are also written into this patent.

One of the greatest defects within typical grouting systems is the certainty of eventual staining and discoloration. This system will utilize materials that are impervious to moisture, therefore creating a flooring design with long-term color retention. The intent is that the grout column will not crack, chip, dent, or break.

Traditional tile installation methods rely heavily on spacers and the precision of the installer. However, even the most experienced professionals often encounter slight inconsistencies, particularly when achieving perfect right angles across an entire project. The Tile Assembly System is intended to eliminate these challenges with a forthcoming engineered interlocking design, ensuring consistent tile spacing, precise dimensions, and accurate right angles throughout the entire installation.

The innovative click-together system is intended to significantly reduce installation labor across the entire project. With an integrated grout column built directly into the tile frame, there will be no need for a separate grouting process. The forthcoming advanced connection mechanism will ensure quick and efficient setup from start to finish.
Low voltage electrical wiring, for purpose of grout illumination, can be placed into this system. As units are connected together, current will flow through the polyurethane grout columns, offering a unique ambience, creating designed lighted pathways and configurations. This version of the product is within the licensed patent - engineering of this design is forthcoming.
By introducing a material such as strontium aluminate or other phosphorescent powders into the manufacturing process, this system can be charged through natural light and/or synthetic means, charging the polyurethane plastic grout column to emit a soft glow to the tiles system grid.
This product concept is designed to be installed directly into a thinset mortar bed or as a floating floor system. Mudflaps in appropriate sections of the product assure a clean, flush connection between mating parts when using thinset mortar.
The floating floor installation is an option in appropriate areas where high strength structural integrity is not a demand. Appropriate removable cross supports as well as supportive polyethylene padding will be incorporated into this product for this option. A factory installed adhesive option will also be researched for the backside of the tile - this option (potentially a peel and stick engineered process) will be intended to allow installers an installation method for permanent bonding to the floor, where needed, in lieu of thinset mortar - for substantial labor-saving advantages.
Alternating colors of grout are not feasible within conventional grouting processes. The Tile Assembly System will allow for options of more than one grout color to be designed into the flooring project. Optional grout column colors may be able to be purchased by the customer, and easily installed into units, sliding in and out of the grout column receiver groove.
Through the injection molding process, tooling may be able to be designed to include various impressions, textures, or logos onto the top of the grout column. The grout column can also be slightly cupped at the top to imitate a standard grout setting.
