Magnetic tiles

Juniper Foo  |  Oct 11, 2006

We change our clothing, handbags and shoes with the season. So why not the humble tile? With that in mind, American company Artistic Tile has created a clever idea that sticks. Sort of. Founder Nancy Epstein has designed the tile to adhere via a system of magnets. A layer of galvanized sheet metal between the substrate and tiles allows the latter to be changed anytime the mood strikes. Say goodbye to contractors, mortar and grout. But note that there are limited tile patterns for now, and the final bill that comes along with these tiles may prove less "attractive" than hacking up that old floor.
