Reversible Decorative Tile And Method Of Finishing Same In Situ

US Patent:
6073408, Jun 13, 2000
Filed:
Jul 27, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/359872
Inventors:
David A. Winer - Shelburne VT
Gerald A. McDermott - Stowe VT
Edward F. Germon - Stowe VT
Assignee:
Jeda/America, Inc. - Stowe VT
International Classification:
E04F 1308
US Classification:
52385
Abstract:
In a method for installing tiles on a substrate, tiles, having a first surface and a second, machinable surface, are arranged in installed locations on the substrate with the second, machinable surface facing away from the substrate. The machinable surfaces are then machined to reduce tile-to-tile irregularities and adjust for the variations in the subfloor, and the tiles are turned over so that the first surfaces face away from the substrate. A decorative flooring unit is also provided having a tile with a shim layer on its underside, an edge member surrounding the tile and a substrate extending beneath the edge member and the tile. The tile is installed within the edge member with the shim layer facing away from the substrate. The tile may be reversed after sanding the edge member and shim layer.
