ABSTRACT:
A method of floor construction with a grid system utilizing 1) a plurality of floor grid members interconnected to create a floor grid member assembly; 2) a plurality of floor tile members mounted on respective ones of the floor grid members; 3) a plurality of cushion pad members having one associated with each respective floor tile member; 4) grout strip members mounted within grout receiving grooves in the floor grid members and about the floor tile members; and 5) a tile setter tool member is used to mount a floor tile member between the grout strip members. The method of floor construction includes 1) installing a basic support flooring; 2) laying out a plurality of floor grid members on the basic support flooring; 3) interlocking the floor grid members; 4) moving the interlocked floor grid members to minilize the number of floor grid members needed; 5) cutting floor grid members to fit against abutting wall areas; 6) installing grout strip members in the floor grid members; 7) inserting cushion pad members between the grout strip members; 8) placing the tile setter tool member between the grid strip members; 9) inserting and moving a floor tile member into the tile setter tool member; 10) removing the tile setter tool member; and 11) repeating steps 8)-11), inclusive, to install each floor tile member. In a second embodiment, the grout receiving grooves are replaced with grout receiving projections and the grout strip members are replaced with grout strip assemblies.
