Abstract
A modular flooring assembly including a flooring component adhered to a tray substrate is described. The modular flooring assembly may be interconnected with additional modular flooring assemblies to form a modular floor suitable for most flooring applications. The flooring component may be tile or wood or other materials commonly used in flooring applications. Convention fill-in grout or a snap-in grout may be used with the modular flooring assemblies. One suitable snap-in grout is a right angle grout member.

A component of a flooring system comprising
- a flooring component,
- an adhesive,
- a tray substrate comprising
- a tray substrate surface which is an upward facing horizontal surface having a tray substrate surface perimeter,
- a tray substrate bottom with a padding attached to the tray substrate bottom,
- a plurality of tray substrate vertical tray edges which protrude upward and extend along the tray substrate surface perimeter,
- a plurality of tray substrate edges defining an outside perimeter of the tray substrate,
- the tray substrate edges having a plurality of upward tabs comprising a convex surface and a valley and a plurality of downward tabs comprising a concave surface and a lip,
- wherein the flooring component is smaller than the tray substrate surface and smaller than a tray surface defined by the tray substrate vertical edges and said flooring component is adhered to the tray substrate surface with the adhesive.
