Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for removably deploying a floor assembly from a compacted state to a deployed state by varying tensioning forces to removably interconnected individual floor segments.

Disclosed is a non-interlock assembled flooring system, comprising: a base sheet layer and a surface slat layer disposed on the base sheet layer, wherein the surface slat layer includes a plurality of wood floor slats arranged side-by-side in a widthwise direction, the wood floor slats are separated by a plurality of cut grooves serving as expansion joints, and the surface slat layer has a continuous wood-grain surface formed by upper surfaces of the wood floor slats.

A fiber enforced sheet for use as a wall or floor covering which comprises of adhered thin bricks bonded to a fiber-reinforced, backing layer. Thin brick is adhered to the fiber enforced sheet. The fiber enforced backing increases strength and rigidity to the thin brick during handling, and installation permits the thin bricks to be adhered to proper specification and spacing to be cut using ordinary tile or thin brick tools.
