Tiling laminate, process, and use

A flooring system comprising:

• a prefabricated subfloor laminate for mounting to supporting structure, and a prefabricated tile laminate removably mountable thereto;
• said prefabricated subfloor laminate including a matrix material and a surface material, said surface material being a first magnetizable material affixed to said matrix;
• said prefabricated tile laminate includes a surface finish material, and a backing, said backing being a second magnetizable material;
• and
• a magnetized intermediate member for placement between (i) said surface material of said prefabricated subfloor laminate and (ii) said backing of said prefabricated tile laminate;
• and, as assembled,
• said surface material, said backing and said intermediate member being mutually magnetically attractive.

A floor tile laminate, said floor tile laminate comprising:

• a ceramic display layer;
• and
• a magnetizable backing member mounted there to;
• said ceramic display layer having ground edges defining finished abutment interfaces for interaction with other such floor tiling laminate of the same type.

A tile laminate comprising:

• a rigid surface stratum and a backing sheet;
• the rigid surface stratum having a presentation surface;
• the rigid surface stratum having a concealed mounting face opposed to said presentation surface;
• said backing sheet being mounted to said concealed mounting face;
• said backing sheet being substantially co-extensive with said mounting face;
• said backing sheet being one of (a) a magnetic sheet;
• and (b) a ferro-magnetic substance for mating engagement with a magnetic sheet.
