Edge) extension a pair of relative perimeter edge surfaces.
This method continues the first floor patch block 100 being placed on including level, vertical and/or angled any orientation
In support base.Then the second floor patch block 100 is placed in support base.Then the MD edges by the second floor patch block are supported
On the AMD edges for leaning against the first floor patch block.Then the 3rd floor patch block 100 can be placed in support base.Then, will
The MD edges of 3rd floor patch block are resisted against on the AMD edges of the second floor patch block.
Because patch block 100 has the isotropism edge for not needing a quarter to rotate during installation, therefore identical
MD edges and identical AMD edges can abut against each other in support base.Therefore, in some embodiments of this method and change
In, the second floor patch block 100 AMD edges can (see, for example, Fig. 8, it shows against the AMD edges of the first floor patch block 100
Go out the patch block with dotted arrow, the AMD edges of one of patch block abut the AMD edges of another patch block).3rd floor patch block
100 MD edges can be against the MD edges of the second floor patch block, or alternatively, and the AMD edges of the 3rd floor patch block can be with
Against the MD edges of the second floor patch block.
It should be appreciated that the above method can be used together with square or non-square patch block and combinations thereof.
Advantageously, floor patch block 100 as described herein and corresponding floor system are eliminated due to improved dimensionally stable
Property caused by limitation to utilizable installation floor and the shape of patch block.
