Interlocking tiles

A burn room, comprising:

• a plurality of surface tiles, each surface tile comprising a main body having a top face and a bottom face, and a flange extending substantially around a perimeter of the main body, wherein a bottom face of the flange is level with the bottom face of the main body;
• and
• a plurality of corner tiles, each corner tile having an upper portion and a lower portion together defining a top face, a bottom face, opposing angled side faces, and opposing end faces, wherein the corner tile is skewed such that the upper portion extends beyond the lower portion at one of the opposing end faces and the lower portion extends beyond the upper portion at the other of the opposing end faces, and wherein the corner tile has a generally trapezoidal shape when viewed from either of the opposing end faces;
• wherein:
• each surface tile is configured to be arranged in an upward-facing orientation and a downward-facing orientation;
• a first surface tile of the plurality of surface tiles is arranged in the upward-facing orientation in an installed configuration;
• a second surface tile of the plurality of surface tiles is arranged in the downward-facing orientation in the installed configuration;
• in the installed configuration, the flange of the first surface tile is substantially adjacent the flange of the second surface tile;
• in an installed configuration, the upper portion of a first of the plurality of corner tiles is substantially adjacent the lower portion of a second of the plurality of corner tiles, and each opposing angled side face of the first and second corner tiles is substantially adjacent a respective face of a respective surface tile.

A method of assembling a burn room, comprising:

• (a) providing a plurality of interlocking surface tiles, each surface tile comprising a main body having a top face and a bottom face and a flange extending substantially around a perimeter of the main body, wherein a bottom face of the flange is level with the bottom face of the main body;
• (b) positioning a first surface tile of the plurality of surface tiles substantially adjacent a surface in an upward facing orientation;
• and
• (c) positioning a second surface tile of the plurality of surface tiles substantially adjacent the surface and the first surface tile in a downward facing orientation, wherein, when the second surface tile is positioned substantially adjacent the first surface tile, the flange of the second surface tile at least partially overlaps the flange of the first surface tile;
• (d) providing a plurality of corner tiles, each corner tile comprising an upper portion and a lower portion together defining a top face, a bottom face, opposing angled side faces, and opposing end faces, wherein the corner tile is skewed such that the upper portion extends beyond the lower portion at one of the opposing end faces and the lower portion extends beyond the upper portion at the other of the opposing end faces;
• (e) positioning a first of the plurality of corner tiles such that one of the opposing angled side faces is generally adjacent a respective face of one of the plurality of surface tiles and the other of the opposing angled side faces is generally adjacent a respective face of another of the plurality of surface tiles thereby defining a corner;
• (f) positioning a second of the plurality of corner tiles adjacent the first of the plurality of corner tiles such that the lower portion of the first of the plurality of corner tiles is substantially adjacent the upper portion of the second of the plurality of corner tiles.
