The ViFAH snapping tiles are a bit different from some of the other tiles which have loops on two sides and pegs on the other two sides as with their tiles once you have snapped them together, you can't pull them apart. And in my opinion that's the main disadvantage. You really have to make sure that you are laying them the way you want. I think they also only give 12 months warranty which is probably a bit of a worry. I prefer the Swiftdeck tiles which look a lot more solid and have a plastic connecting mechanism which lets you pull the tiles of parts and put them down in another place if you want to. They also have a couple of designs so you can make patterns if you want to. Ian

The Vifah web site says you can disassemble them and rearrange them. Never saw them, much less used them, so I can't swear to it one way or the other...
