Claims6
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,
- wherein the tray substrate edges comprises a plurality of upward tabs comprising a convex surface and a valley;
- the tray surface substrate further comprising a plurality of downward tabs comprising a concave surface and a lip, wherein at least a portion of each of the downward tabs is recessed under the upward facing horizontal tray surface, wherein at least a portion of the lip of the downward tab is directly beneath the vertical tray edge and said flooring component is adhered to the tray substrate surface with the adhesive.
