RevoTile, the company explains, installs in three easy steps: place underlayment (no mortar required; click tiles together; and grout immediately. Made from genuine Daltile porcelain tile, the product comes in a variety of looks.
“Time is money,” says Dan Butterfield, vice president of builder/multi-family sales for Dal-Tile Corp. “RevoTile has been designed to dramatically reduce the time it takes to install tile. Made by Daltile, the tile industry’s trusted leader, RevoTile is a cutting-edge contribution that empowers residential builders and their supporting flooring contractors to achieve higher levels of productivity, value, and profitability.”

Dal-Tile says the appeal of porcelain tile makes it a desirable material. Because of its its beauty and durability, the product is widely used in residential and multi-family projects as well as on high-end homes. But adding the benefits of fast and easy installation to tile’s existing appeal saves builders time and money and improves their bottom-line, the company adds.
“This innovative product is unique; there is nothing like it on the market,” Butterfield says. “With RevoTile, the most beautiful, durable, and waterproof floor—porcelain tile—is now fast and easy to install like any floating floor on the market.”
With RevoTile’s installation system, there is no mortar drying time, no two-part grout, and no return visits. In fact, the company says a builder’s team can install and grout a tile floor two times faster than conventional tile and with less mess. “RevoTile is easily installed by any member of a builder’s team, including their available LVT (luxury vinyl tile), laminate, tile, and hardwood flooring installers, expanding the available pool of installers.”
