Method of floor construction with a grid system

A method of floor construction with a grid system using floor grid members, floor cover members, cushion pad members, and spacer strip members in order to construct a support floor in a given floor area, comprising the following steps:

• a) interconnecting a plurality of floor grid members to achieve a primary support layer over the floor area;
• b) connecting spacer strip members to grout receiving grooves in said floor grid members to form cover receiver areas of a size to receive a floor cover member therebetween;
• and
• c) inserting a respective said floor cover member in respective ones of said cover receiver areas between said grout receiving grooves having said spacer strip members mounted therein to cover the entire floor area;
• whereby said floor cover members are held in place by said spacer strip members, not by an adhesive, and can be readily removed from said floor grid members to be replaced or used elsewhere.

A method of floor construction with a grid system using interlocking floor grid members having grout receiving grooves thereon;

• a plurality of floor cover members;
• a plurality of cushion pad members;
• grout resembling strip members;
• and a tile setter tool member operable to create a floating, non-adhesive floor installation utilizing the following steps:
• a) interconnecting a plurality of floor grid members collectively equal in size to a floor area to be covered;
• b) moving said interconnected floor grid members, being a floor grid member assembly, about the floor area to minimize an amount of cutting of said floor grid members, floor cover members, and cushion pad members for fitting about outer peripheral edges of said floor grid member assembly to completely fill the floor area;
• c) inserting grout resembling strip members into respective grout receiving grooves on said floor grid members;
• d) placing a cushion pad member in respective areas between said grout resembling strip members;
• and
• e) inserting respective floor cover members on top of respective ones of said cushion pad members between said grout resembling strip members.

A method of floor construction with a grid system using interlocking floor grid members having grout receiving projections thereon;

• a plurality of floor cover members;
• and grout resembling grout strip assemblies to create a floating, non-adhesive floor installation, utilizing the following steps:
• a) interconnecting a plurality of floor grid members having floor cover receiving areas between grout receiving projections into a floor area to be covered;
• b) moving said interconnected floor grid members, being a floor grid member assembly, about the floor area to minimize an amount of cutting of said floor grid members and floor cover members for fitting about outer peripheral edges of said floor grid assembly;
• c) inserting respective said floor cover members in said floor cover receiving areas;
• and
• d) inserting grout resembling grout strip assemblies into respective said grout receiving projections on said floor grid members to achieve a completed floor grid member assembly.
