Abstract:
1. A peel-and set tile apparatus configured for being installed onto a prepared substrate, the apparatus comprising: a tile body; an underside surface of the tile body providing a contact adhesive array for securing the tile body to the substrate, the contact adhesive array positioned and configured for forming a perimeter gasket continuously about a perimeter of the underside surface of the tile body when it is secured to the substrate; and a peel-away release liner applied over the contact adhesive array, substantially parallel to the underside surface of the tile body and configured to be removed therefrom when the apparatus is to be installed onto the substrate; whereby, with the tile body secured to the substrate, the perimeter gasket forms a bond that substantially prevents liquid or contaminants from getting between the underside surface of the tile body and the substrate or compromising the installation.
