Question Looking for Hardwood Floor Tiles

In researching the look and cost of the hardwood floors we want to install in our home and I kept in mind that I'd seen a picture of a checkered hardwood look I'd fallen in love w/ and attempted a search.

http://www.howtodothings.com/video/6...%20Your%20Home

I found this ^^ wonderful video. However, I've been unable to search for the company she mentions -- despite it being transcribed. (I thought she said Simple 2 or Simple To/o but according to the text she supposedly says "Assemble Too"; a search on all turned up nada.) I visited her site and the video is not there for me to comment and ask.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I had never seen this new product before. Interesting. It's a floating installation, but I wonder how annoying the ribs inbetween the tiles would get when walking barefoot... would drive me nuts.

I did'nt listen to the audio either, I'm wondering about warranty etc.
And I can only assume with shrinkage, cuping, and high humidity there would be tons of gaps after 2-3 years.

That system makes me nervous too. If you like that look have you considered a cork floor? I spec a lot of flooring from this supplier and the installers seem to like working with it and the bamboo. You may even qualify for a green grant since it is a renewable resource. Nice color choices too!
