INTERCONNECTED MODULAR FRAMES FOR GROUTLESS SETTING OF HARD TILES
Interlocking modular tile frames for joining hard tiles without requiring a substrate adhesive (thin-set mortar) or grout. Each tile frame comprises integrated segments that form a rigid or semi-rigid enclosure to hold a single hard tile within its interior. Each segment has an upside-down T-shape cross-section comprising a column and a base. The columns, which frames a tile, eliminate the need for grout. An inserted tile rests on the base while being held in place by the column along each segment. One or more mechanical interconnections are located at an outer portion of each enclosure corner to couple adjacent frames together. A stain-resistant material such as but not limited to polyethylene, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), acrylic, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), nylon, rubber, or a combination thereof, can be used for the frames.
