Claims27
A two-piece tile comprising:
- a base tile portion having a plurality of structurally supportive skeletal members distributed between walls of a frame, said plurality of structurally supportive skeletal members collectively comprising a skeletal base structure;
- a plurality of male interlocking members extending from at least one edge said frame of said baseboard;
- a plurality of female interlocking receptacles located along at least one edge of said frame of said baseboard for receiving male interlocking members of a different, adjacently located two-piece tile;
- a plurality of tread elements located and distributed atop one or more surfaces of said skeletal base structure;
- and
- a top generally planar tile portion having a plurality of apertures which are so sized and spaced so as to match the respective size and spacing pattern of said plurality of tread elements of said base tile portion, such that said top generally planar tile portion is assemblable to said base tile portion with said plurality of tread elements nested in said plurality of apertures.
