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.
Claims12
A component of a flooring system comprising
- a flooring component adhered to a tray substrate with an adhesive, the 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 from each side of the tray substrate surface perimeter,
- a plurality of tray substrate edges defining an outside perimeter of the tray substrate,
- each tray substrate edge having a plurality of upward tabs and each tray substrate edge having a plurality of downward tabs with a concave surface to interlock with upward tabs and downward tabs of a second tray substrate to form a modular floor,
- wherein the flooring component is smaller than the tray substrate surface and smaller than a tray surface defined by the tray substrate vertical edges.
