A portable floor composed of a plurality of rectangular sections attached by hinges so that adjacent sections pivot between a rolled configuration for transportation and storage and a flat configuration to bear weight. A finger edge of the section has a plurality of spaced fingers with a beveled surface that extends from the bottom of the finger upwardly to the tip of the finger. The opposed notch edge of the section has a plurality of spaced notches with a beveled surface from the top of the section downwardly into the notch. The beveled surfaces are at an angle of 15° to 75°. The finger edge meshes with the notch edge of the adjacent section. Adjacent top surfaces are planar when the notch and finger beveled surfaces abut each other. The hinge is a pin extending through aligned holes in the fingers and cogs between the notches.

A cladding or siding assembly for use as cladding or siding for a wall of a building or structure having a face includes at least one panel member and at least two parallel and spaced support rail members which are arranged to allow at least one panel member to slidably interfit in between the support rail members, to be located and be removable at any time during construction or any time later after completion. The panel member is slotted between an upper support rail member and a parallel lower support rail member, whereby at an upper end of the panel member recess slidably interfits with the lower tab member of the upper support rail member having second end leg of perimeter frame within lower recess and the recess at a lower end of the same panel member slidably captures shorter upper tab member of the lower support rail member whereby second end leg is captured in upper recess of lower support rail member. A panel member and method of assembly are also disclosed.

A corner construction with improved warping flexibility may feature two panels, or walls, hinged together to form a corner and then hinged to the underlying building structure or adjacent wall construction. Any flexible connection between the two panels in the central corner and the panels and underlying building structure or wall construction may be utilized, including hinges and flexible plate supports.

A monolithic interlocking tile, manufacturing method, and covering are disclosed. A closed-cell foam material is injected into a mold to form a monolithic structure having a first surface, a second surface offset and opposite the first surface, the first surface including a first lip located at two adjacent sides of the structure with a plurality of shaped protrusions, and the second surface including a second lip located at two other adjacent sides of the structure and forming a plurality of shaped apertures matching in number and shape with the plurality of protrusions; and a recess formed in the second lip and forming a hole for receiving a fastener to secure the monolithic structure to a supporting structure. Multiple monolithic interlocking tiles are interlocked together to form the covering for a floor, wall, ceiling, or roof.

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.
