A floor tile is disclosed that includes a metal frame, a backing plate, and a plurality of tiles assembled to the metal frame and the backing plate. The metal frame defines a plurality of openings, and has a thickness T. The openings are separated by a plurality of connected strips that are coated with an anti-slip coating. The backing plate is attached to a bottom side of the metal frame. The plurality of tiles are each assembled into one of the plurality of openings with the backing plate supporting the tiles. The tiles have a height H that is less than T and have a top surface that is recessed below the anti-slip coating on the connected strips.

A floor tile is disclosed that comprises a plate having an anti-slip metal coating. The metal plate has an upper surface, a bottom surface and a plurality of edges provided on all sides of the metal plate that extend between the upper surface and the bottom surface. The anti-slip coating is applied to a central portion of the upper surface, wherein the anti-slip coating is not applied to the upper surface between the central portion and the plurality of edges. At least one recess is formed in the bottom surface that is adapted to receive a portion of an adhesive applied between the bottom surface and a floor. A method is also disclosed for making the anti-slip floor tile, wherein a metal plate is masked at a border provided around the edges of the plate and molten metal is sprayed on a central portion but not on the border.

A method is disclosed for making a floor tile having ceramic tiles formed in situ in openings or recesses in the plate. A metal frame is embossed to form recesses in one embodiment. In another embodiment, openings are punched in the plate and a backing plate is attached to a bottom surface of the plate. A ceramic composition is poured into the plurality of openings up to a level that is below the upper surface of the metal frame and is cured to form a ceramic tile in situ in each of the plurality of openings. Surface features may be provided in the recesses or openings such as projections with a head portion that are embedded in the ceramic composition after curing.

An extruded aluminum deck assembly having interlocking decking plates. The decking plates of the interlocking deck assembly have horizontally opposed, interlocking outrigging flanges. The extruded decking components comprise feet depending from a planar top surface.

A fire-rated flooring panel for use in forming a suspended floor, comprising: a bottom metal sheet layer; an upper re-enforced concrete layer overlaying the bottom layer; and a structural steel frame enclosing circumferential walls of the upper and lower layers.

The decking anchors may have a primary portion and a secondary portion that are operatively coupled together, such as through a fastener. The primary portion may comprise one or more primary projections (e.g., first and second primary projections) and/or the secondary portion may comprise one or more secondary projections (e.g., first and second secondary projections). In a first position adjacent projections may be retracted towards each other. In the first position the anchor may be installed into a cavity of the decking panel. The anchor may be rotated into a pre-installed position, and a force is exerted on the anchor such that the projections contact the webs of the decking. In response to continued force the projections move with respect to each other such that the anchor is moved into an installed position (e.g., the adjacent projections extend with respect to each other).
