Abstract
A surface covering formed by planar components includes a plurality of concentric rings with each ring formed by corner components having two pairs of parallel sides of different length. The shorter sides of the pairs of parallel sides meeting at an angle equal to an angle formed by adjacent sides of a regular polygon. While the longer sides of the pairs of parallel sides meet at an angle equal to an angle formed by adjacent sides of the regular polygon. Planar infill components are utilized between the corner components with adjacent polygonal rings varying in size by a whole number of infill components. Spacing elements may be disposed between adjacent concentric polygonal rings.

A surface covering including a plurality of concentric polygonal rings the surface covering comprising:
- a plurality of planar corner components, each corner component including two pairs of parallel sides, each pair of parallel sides having a longer side and a shorter side, the shorter sides meeting at an angle substantially equal to an angle formed by adjacent sides of a regular polygon, the longer sides meeting at an angle equal to the angle formed by adjacent sides of the regular polygon;
- and
- a plurality of planar infill components disposed between the corner components, wherein each polygonal ring includes corner components of the same size, and adjacent polygonal rings vary by an integer number of infill components.
A surface covering including a plurality of concentric portions of a plurality of polygonal rings, the surface covering comprising:
- a plurality of planar corner components, each corner component including two pairs of parallel sides, each pair of parallel sides having a longer side and a shorter side, the shorter sides meeting at an angle substantially equal to an angle formed by adjacent sides of a regular polygon, the longer sides meeting at an angle equal to the angle formed by adjacent sides of the regular polygon;
- and
- a plurality of planar infill components disposed between the corner components, wherein each concentric portion of each polygonal ring includes corner components of the same size, and adjacent concentric portions vary by an integer number of infill components.
