I am going to redo all the floors in our home. My MIL mentioned that there are now "floating tile floors" that are the large 16in tiles in several materials that are easire to install and there is no wet saw required. you don't even have to pull up your old floor! Have any of you used these or do you know someone who has? Are they easy to install? I really don't want to have to tear up our current floors. All of that dust would kill me. Plus, since they float, if the slab shifts, they wont crack. this sounds great, but i want your opinions.
PANELIZED TILE FLOOR
EDGE FLOORING $3.50-$7 (SQ. FT.)
A free-floating tile floor was impossible until this product. It uses ceramic or stone tiles attached to snap-together panels. You roll out its underlayment sheet, snap the panels in place, then seal the joints with grout from a pressurized can. The manufacturer also supplies a special tile-cutting circular saw blade. The underlayment costs $15 per 30-sq.-ft. roll, and the grout is $10 per can (enough for 20 to 40 sq. ft.). The saw blade is about $30. The flooring is sold exclusively at Lowe's Home Improvement Centers.
