Frequently Asked Questions: SnapStone Porcelain Floor Tile and Furniture & Appliances


I want to install a SnapStone® floor in my game room. Will my slate top pool table be too heavy for SnapStone?

When installed properly, A SnapStone floating floor will perform well when installed under heavy objects such as a pool table.

Can I install my SnapStone tile floor before my built-in cabinets are installed?

No. All permanently installed cabinets should be in place prior to installation of SnapStone.

Do I need felt protectors on my chairs like my old vinyl floor?

It is always a good idea with any hard surface floor to have protective glides on the bottom of the chairs. SnapStone is very durable, however, marks may occur from unprotected metal chair legs. Additionally, SnapStone may cause excessive wear on wood legged chairs.

Do I need to remove my dishwasher before I install my SnapStone floor?

No, just remove the bottom panel on your dishwasher and make sure there is enough adjustability in the treaded leveling legs for SnapStone.

I'm installing a SnapStone floor in a basement utility room. Is it okay to install SnapStone tile next to my furnace?

It is usually safe to install SnapStone tile next to gas and electric furnaces. However, it is a good idea to check with your heating and cooling technician to ensure the floor will not be exposed to temperatures of over 115 degrees F.

Can I move my refrigerator back into place immediately after grouting my floor?

Yes. You can move the appliance back into place while the grout is still wet, though you might need to touch-up the grout if the wheels disrupt the grout line. The key is you do not want continuous traffic/movement on the floor for the first 24 hours.
