Click tile system.

I once saw this or similar system in B&Q... but it was a Silicon joint..

Comments welcome..this is about the tiles and not the heat mat

If there is nothing holding the tiles down apart from them being locked together then I can only think that the grout must be super flexible.

its another angle that will appeal to the diy markets do doubt and will impact on the tile fixer...

but that said, the people with money and different tastes will still prefer traditional techniques and they will employer a pro tiler because they will be busy doing what ever they do in their busy lives...

i think they will eventually suffer from the possibiltiy of cracking due to not being solidly fixed and the grout will also suffer the same problems imo

how come the grout dos'nt crack, there must be a lot of movement on the floor a bit like walking on a laminate............. whys the pansie wareing gloves!

 

[garretridge]

just like laying laminate effect tiles with grout a big no no from me only see problems with this one!

The B&Q ones are on a length with 3 or 4 tiles i think. Howdens do something very similar. I havent fitted any of them though

ive fitted the laminate tht looks like tiles, quite effective at a quick glance but not a patch on the real thing

Dave, this isn't an advert, but feel free to pull this post if it goes against forum rules.

Whilst visiting the Porcelanosa Butech factory a few weeks ago they demonstrated their CLI-KER system. The whole ground floor of the Butech showroom had been done with it and I have to say it was spot on. There was a couple of guys fitting it and they were covering a lot of metres in a short space of time. The "grout" is a kind of rubber strip that is installed as the tiles go in. Installation is basically a matter of Silicon and a rubber mallet.

Apparently, it has been designed with offices and showrooms in mind where the building is taken on a shorterm lease. When the occupant moves out, they take their flooring with them :lol:.

Hopefully, this link will work....

I'd like to see a long term job which has wear and tear, Don't think there'll any competition for the real thing

Got to be better than the b&q tileloc laminate...that stuff is a nightmare to lay.

Never had a problem with it and done loads of it, did you leave it to climatise? Its a nightmare when its not climatised

Seems like a good idea, but what time you save fitting it, you would have to put in in getting the floor absolutely perfectly flat in the first place. I think i'll stick to the traditional methods, it's got to be a better and more permanent way of fixing without problems to look forward to later.:smilewinkgrin:

Impressive,no lippage adjustments and perfect straight lines with no hastle and it's floating so no cracks,lol.
