Floor and tile system with pad

Abstract

A method for installing flooring boards is provided. The method comprises laying down a two layer pad on a floor, applying a band of adhesive, laying a flooring board on the top of the two shifted-layer pad and the edge of the floor board occupying one half of the width of the band, and laying an adjacent floor board, which covers the remaining of the band of the adhesive.

1 . A pre-assembled pad with flooring elements comprising:
 a pad with a top side and a bottom side;   a plurality of bands of adhesive on the top side of the pad; and   a plurality of flooring elements placed on the top side of the pad, each element being placed between two bands.   
     
     
         2 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein the pad further being covered with restickable glue on at least one side. 
     
     
         3 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , the pad further comprising a plurality of grooves and each band of adhesive being place in one groove. 
     
     
         4 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 ; wherein the pad further comprising a net that allows the bands of adhesive to penetrate. 
     
     
         5 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein the pad being a double-layer pad composed of a first layer and a second layer, the first layer placed on top of the second layer, the first layer being offset from the second layer. 
     
     
         6 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein adhesive being epoxy grout. 
     
     
         7 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive being urethane grout or urethane glue. 
     
     
         8 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive being polymer modified grout. 
     
     
         9 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein the flooring elements being porcelain tiles. 
     
     
         10 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein the flooring elements being stone tiles. 
     
     
         11 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein the flooring elements being floor boards. 
     
     
         12 . The pre-assembled pad with flooring elements of  claim 1 , wherein the flooring elements being floor boards interlaced with tiles. 
     
     
         13 . A flooring system comprising:
 a first floor board;   a second floor board; and   a pad with pressure sensitive glue, the pad having a top side,   wherein the first floor board and the second floor board being placed adjacent to each other on the top side of the pad, the first floor element and second floor board being capable of sliding before a pressure being applied.   
     
     
         14 . The flooring system of  claim 13 , wherein the back side of each floor board being coated with a layer of material that bonds to the pad with pressure sensitive glue. 
     
     
         15 . The flooring system of  claim 14 , wherein the layer of material being a pad pre-coated with pressure sensitive glue. 
     
     
         16 . The flooring system of  claim 13 , wherein the pad with pressure sensitive glue is attached to the back side of each floor board, the floor boards being directly attached to a sub-floor when a pressure is applied to the floor boards. 
     
     
         17 . The flooring system of  claim 16 , wherein the pad is smaller than the floor boards, wherein the first floor board being placed adjacent to the second floor board and the gap formed between the first floor board and the pad, a band of glue being applied in the gap to attach the floor boards together and also to attach the floor boards to a sub-floor. 
     
     
         18 . The flooring system of  claim 13 , wherein the adhesive being applied to a joint between the first floor board and the second floor board. 
     
     
         19 . A pad for installing flooring elements having at least one side covered with pressure sensitive restickable glue. 
     
     
         20 . A pad for installing flooring elements having a plurality of grooves.
