( I use a 16"x16" tile) I cut the hole to 15"x15" and then route the tile into the remaining 1/2" surrounding the hole so you have a 1/2" lip all the way around the hole to where the tile is flush with the INSIDE of the enclosure. Then silicone the tile onto that lip. When that dries cover the whole floor with laminate and you have a perfectly waterproof spot on the floor that you can attach a UTH to the outside and the ceramic transfers the heat perfectly to the inside with very little heat loss!. There you have it, from one custom cage builder to the next! Did you check out a pic of my set up?

Hey would this method work on a Melamine enclosure made out of the melamine shelving from Lowes/ home depot etc and since the tile is sealed in with the silicone would you still need to put the laminate down?
Thanks
