Description

200835834 IX. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: [Technical Fields of the Invention] Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a floating floor tile arrangement comprising a magnetically bonded grout together on a 5 underlay. This tile arrangement provides floating floor slabs on existing floors. The present disclosure also relates to a method of making a tile arrangement. This tile arrangement provides a way to quickly and economically manufacture floating floor slabs on existing slabs. [Prior Art 3 10 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, a tile is provided by mortar directly arranging a tile onto a wooden or concrete floor and then grouting the tile with cement grout. In many applications, the cement backing panel is first laid down to the floor, and then the mortar is laminated to the cement backing panel. The conventional method of laying this floor tile is time consuming and labor intensive 15 episodes. As a result, conventional tile floors are expensive due to high labor costs. In addition, water-based cement mortars and grouts cannot be used for floors and tiles that are adversely affected by moisture. For example, slabs made of water-swellable materials, such as granular panels, cannot be easily used with water-based cement. In addition, some types of colored marble tiles will swell when exposed to water and will not be used with water-based mortar or grout. I. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates to a floating floor tile arrangement and method of making the tile arrangement. The tiles are not included with a polymer grout to bond at least two tiles together. 200835834 is attached to the backing. The present disclosure also relates to a method of making a tile arrangement. The method includes placing the backing on an existing floor and placing at least two spaced apart tiles on the backing. Next, the unhardened polymeric grout is applied to the space between the tiles, and then the uncured polymeric grout is adhered to the outer profile, and then the polymeric grout is hardened to form a tile arrangement. This floating floor tile setup is simpler, faster and more economical than conventional tile setups. For example, the tile arrangement can be walked on within 2 to 6 hours depending on the polymeric grout used. This is faster than using conventional techniques (which can be used to provide services on a tile). This tile setting can be made at a water-based setting method. In addition, this magnetic monument setting is completely waterproof. The disclosed geothermal grouting of the tile arrangement has a higher strength and elasticity than conventional cement grouting. This provides less unwanted cracking by separating the floating magnetic floor slab from the subfloor with a high load. Other modes and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; As will be appreciated, 2 shows that there are other and different specific examples, and some of the details can be modified in many aspects without turning away from the gentleman.

I: Embodiment 3 Detailed description of the preferred embodiment and various modes 200835834 can be used in the process of polymerizing grouting into the inter-brick between the bricks, tapes or films to protect the tiles, and then remove the tape or film before the filling and hardening. Net's finish. Another - Μ ^ * Easy cleaning method is to protect the surface of the tile with a release agent before spreading the polymer. After the polymerization « has been partially hardened, the excess can be removed from the surface. Use a suitable solvent to clean the magnetizer to remove the dislocation. In addition, a coating with water = before the number of unhardened polymers can be counted to the surface of the tile, and then the water is evaporated to lift 10 15 Fluorine 20 for a non-stick protective coating and for stripping of the coating after the hardening of the polymer. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application. As a backing and structural adhesive The agent is used as a polymeric grout to make the erected tile floor slab. First, the _ large (four) square suction part has been nailed to the 2X4&quot; screw' 粒 granules (the old one). Secondly, the waterproof plastic 4 mil LDPE is used. The board is covered with a waterproof backing to cover the granulated plastic board. Then, the Bolivia 3" rubber-engaged knee-pressure-sensitive patch is applied to the plastic sheet to properly magnetize the monument (Fig. 2). Before the button is placed on the fine, the tape can be transferred to the tape to assist in the cleaning after the deposition polymerization. Next, place a 16-1 square glazed ceramic monument on the bottom of the magnetic phase with a space, and use pressure-sensitive tape to hold the magnetic _ (Fig. 3). Next, mix the two-component carbamic acid (iv) reagent (polymerized potting) and use a disposable plastic mold to fill the tiles. Another method of spreading involves the use of a feed gun to polymerize from the wipes. The polymerization is floated into the space between the tiles and the solvent is cleaned with a solvent.
