Densified foam core (DFC) tile with imitation grout line
A flooring tile having a plurality of sides, at least a top layer, a core layer comprising a densified foam material, and an exposed portion that extends outwardly along one side with a textured surface that imitates a grout line. The top layer of the tile can include a top surface defined by a wear layer, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) layer having an optimal density and a dye or colorant(s), and a decorative layer. The exposed portion may be formed on the PVC layer below the top surface of the tile at a depth of about 0.9 millimeters (0.035 inches) to 2 millimeters (0.079 inches), or more, so as to extend into the core layer, and will have a width of generally between 2 millimeters (0.079 inches) to 5 millimeters (0.197 inches). The overall thickness of the tile ranges from 4 millimeters (0.157 inches) to 8 millimeters (0.315 inches).
