Abstract
A lightweight multi-layer tile of a floor system for scenes or stages easy to install and easy to flip to show up any of its two faces is described. The multi-layer tile has a top surface and a bottom surface that can both be shown. The multi-layer tile has a frame defining a rigid structure; a core low-density component inserted in the frame such that the frame surrounds it; and dense plywood panels affixed to opposed walls of the core component. The panels extend beyond the core component over a section of the frame, with a surrounding lip of the frame surrounding and protecting the edges of the panels. The panels provide the reversible surfaces of the multi-layer tile, allowing to show one or the other surface by flipping the tile upside down.
