One illustrative embodiment of a tile & support structure may be configured to secure the position of a tile in a generally vertical configuration, such as the riser of a step, as a border around a portion of a deck, a building and/or wall façade, ventilated façade, interior or exterior wall covering, or other generally vertical surface. The support structure may be formed with a spine having at least one rail extending outward from a distal end thereof. The spine and rail(s) may be configured to secure one or more tiles, which tiles may be formed with a groove on at least one edge thereof, and wherein one or more rails may be positioned within the groove.

A suspended timber frame deck comprising a timber frame of interconnected timber beams. Tiles are located on top of the beams indirectly at at least two locations by a tile support pad located between the tile and an underlying timber beam. Each pad includes a protrusion located in a hole of the timber beam to register therewith to the timber beam and registered to the tile to help locate the tile to the timber beam and help prevent the tile from sliding over the timber beam.

The disclosure relates to an outdoor flooring assembly for securing flooring trays to improve stability and wind uplift resistance. The flooring trays each include a plurality of securement mechanisms coupled to a bottom surface thereto, the securement mechanisms designed to interconnect with one another to securely retain adjacent trays together and minimize the risk that any individual tray is dislodged.

A peripheral stabilizing system for elevated flooring surfaces that is configured to resist uplift forces acting against the elevated flooring surface thereby reducing the likelihood of dislodged surface tiles and the like. Broadly, the disclosed system includes a support structure disposed over a fixed surface (e.g., roof deck or the like), a plurality of surface tiles appropriately laid over the support structure, and one or more restraint apparatuses (e.g., support ledgers) that are positionable adjacent the outer periphery of the flooring surface. Each restraint apparatus includes a mounting portion that is securable to a wall (e.g., parapet) and a restraint portion positionable over a portion of the elevated flooring surface adjacent the outer periphery for restricting movement of the flooring surface in a direction away from the fixed surface.

In one aspect of a tile and support structure, a support structure may be engaged with a top portion of a pedestal. The support structure may be formed with a generally vertical spine having at least one rail extending outward from a distal end thereof. The spine and rail(s) may be configured to secure one or more tiles, which tiles may be formed with a groove on at least one edge thereof, and wherein one or more rails may be positioned within the groove.

In one embodiment of a tile and support structure, the tile and support structure may be configured to engage a tile such that the tile is oriented in a generally vertical plane. The support structure may include a riser tile engaged with both an upper riser support structure and a lower riser support structure.

The invention relates to a device (1) fixing a support structure for at least one solar panel, in particular a support rail (23) of a support structure for at least one solar panel (24), to a corrugated roof (20) comprising at least one corrugated roof plate (21), said device (1) defines a receiving space (7) for receiving at least part of a crest (C) of at least one corrugated roof plate (21) and being configured for co-action with at least one fastening element for fastening of the device (1) onto the corrugated roof (20).

The invention relates to a device fixing a support structure for at least one solar panel, in particular a support rail of a support structure for at least one solar panel, to a corrugated roof comprising at least one corrugated roof plate, said device defines a receiving space for receiving at least part of a crest of at least one corrugated roof plate and being configured for co-action with at least one fastening element for fastening of the device onto the corrugated roof.

The invention relates to a paver supporting apparatus. The paver supporting apparatus has a pedestal with a top plate. A modular grid is positioned on the top plate and has a ballast receiving opening and a ballast is located in the ballast receiving opening.

A drain support is configured for installation on a surface and to support one or more floor tiles. The drain support includes a base at least partially defining a channel and an outlet, wherein the base defines a base axis, a support dome coupled to the base, wherein the support dome includes at least one aperture formed therein configured to allow fluid to flow from a position outside the dome into the channel, and a pedestal defining a support surface configured to support one or more floor tiles thereon during use, wherein the pedestal is movably coupled to the support dome.
