The present invention discloses a hockey flooring tile having a top smooth surface for passing pucks and one or more interconnecting mechanisms allowing for an interconnection with another tile. A locking mechanism is also positioned within the interconnecting mechanism allowing for a tile to be locked to another tile. The tile disclosed in the present invention also has a bottom surface having support points to support a tile when a weight is placed on the tile.

A shock absorbing mat/tile comprises a body having a generally planar, major top surface and an opposite bottom surface and a plurality of shock absorbing members depending from the bottom surface. At least one of the shock absorbing members has at least one relief formation formed therein configured to accommodate lateral expansion of the shock absorbing member during axial compression thereof.

The invention comprises a relatively lightweight cementitious-based material panel. The cementitious-based material panel comprises a foam insulating panel having a first surface and a second surface; a first structural layer of cementitious-based material formed on the first surface of the foam insulating panel and affixed thereto; and a second non-structural layer of cementitious-based material formed on the second surface of the foam insulating panel and affixed thereto. The second non-structural layer of cementitious-based material is substantially thinner than the first structural layer of concrete. The second non-structural layer of cementitious-based material is preferably formed from polymer modified concrete, plaster or mortar. A method of making the cementitious-based material panel is also disclosed.

A method for manufacturing a folded panel including the following steps: providing a longitudinal recess at the rear side, such that at the front side between remaining panel sections on both sides of the recess a flexible transition section remains, bending the panel sections relative to each other and applying an adhesive in the recess. Before the panel sections are bent relative to each other, a template is inserted into the recess.

A flooring deck system comprising a plurality of panels having at least two layers including a substantially rigid sheet layer of substantially inorganic material and a substantially rigid inorganic foam layer, the substantially rigid sheet layer having a flooring surface and a joining surface configured to attach to the substantially rigid inorganic foam layer, and the substantially rigid inorganic foam layer having a connecting surface configured to attach to the joining surface of the substantially rigid sheet layer, and an underside surface configured to contact a foundation floor, wherein the substantially rigid inorganic foam layer is configured to support both a static and live floor load gauged for a floor.

Modular floor tiles and modular floors are described herein. A modular floor tile may include a top surface layer, a plurality of edge surfaces, an interlocking mechanism for attachment to adjacent tiles, and a support system. The support system may additionally include a first rigid level and at least one resilient support member disposed under the top surface layer, the at least one resilient support member extending to a distance further from the top surface layer than the first rigid level. The at least one resilient support member may be compressible toward the top surface layer. A modular floor may include a plurality of interlocking tiles connected to one another. A method of forming a modular floor that includes an interlocking modular tile is also disclosed.

A baffle formed of square tubing having four faces, each face having a series of openings therein, The baffles are joined in off set rows and offset columns, with a space between each pair of baffles, vertically and horizontally, preferably in rows of six to form an anti-graffiti baffle assembly that has thirty six baffles therein. The individual baffles can be welded or otherwise attached to each other to form the baffle assembly, and which assembly is attached to either a substrate to be protected, or attached to a pair of spaced mounting posts which in turn are mounted to a substrate by four flat plates that are strategically attached to the baffle assembly to act as a mounting means.

The invention relates to a glue-down decorative floor covering system. The invention also relates to a glue-down floor covering realized by a plurality of tiles of the glue-down floor covering system according to the invention. The invention further relates to a tile for use in a glue-down floor covering system according to the invention.

A method for manufacturing a folded panel including the following steps: providing a longitudinal recess at the rear side, such that at the front side between remaining panel sections on both sides of the recess a flexible transition section remains, bending the panel sections relative to each other and applying an adhesive in the recess. Before the panel sections are bent relative to each other, a template is inserted into the recess.

A tile installation method and associated device comprised of a tile and any of several types of pins assemblies and spacer assemblies. The tile has a peripheral edge with any of bores, grooves and/or slots that are adapted to mate with the pin assemblies and spacer assemblies. A portion of the pin assemblies or spacer assemblies are inserted into each adjacent tile peripheral edge connecting adjacent tiles and ensuring that the top surfaces remain level. A spacer may be provided on both the spacer assembly and pin assembly ensuring a uniform gap between adjacent tiles. The spacers assemblies and pin assemblies are permanently embedded and concealed with the grout.
