TILE SYSTEMS
20220341163 · 2022-10-27 · ·

A tile, which may be a component of a modular flooring system, includes a plurality of cells on its underside, adjacent cells being interconnected to form two sets of channels parallel to the upper surface and open to the underside of the tile. The tile may have recesses in its upper surface, into which inserts can be pressed to form a decorative pattern. The channels may be used as ducting for cables under the floor surface. The cables can be held in place by clips that bridge between a pair of the cells. The cables may include a lighting cable, which can be arranged to transmit light to the upper surface of the tile through inserts that are translucent.
