  • the mesh lands form a regular or irregular pattern of at least one polygonal openings.
  • Separate strips of underfloor can be laid against each other by means of a complementary connecting system.
  • the connecting system prevents shifting the strips transversely to the longitudinal direction of the strips.

  • a modular element comprises a base part provided with at least two perimeter edges, which perimeter edges have mutually complementary profiles. Making it possible to couple two floor elements together ensuring that they do not slide relative to each other, thanks to the interaction exerted by the complementarity of the profiles.
  • US20040139679A1 discloses a paving system for tiles, especially flagstones, for paving ceilings, walls, or floors, in which each tile is provided with a paving frame on which the tile rests over at least part of its area.
  • the paving frames comprise, on each of two adjacent (intersecting) limbs, a fin for the accommodation of a rubber-elastic sealing profile that defines the width of the seam.
  • the improved underlayment tile provides at least one of the following advantages: more flexibility to compose a flooring system, ease of laying a flooring system, the durable flooring system, removable and reusable, providing a waterproof floor covering, less stock needed to lay flooring systems with a diversity of tiles, laying tiles in different patterns.
  • a parallelogram-shaped underlayment element comprises: an essentially planar base with a support surface at its top side configured to support a parallelogram-shaped finishing layer element, the support surface having a perimeter corresponding to a parallelogram-shaped finishing layer element:
  • the concept of the invention is based on the desire to cover an even surface, such as a floor and wall, with tiles that can subsequently be easily removed and whose removed parts can be reused to cover another even surface.
  • Key of the invention is the used of underlayment tiles on which easily a finishing tiles can be placed. By laying the finishing tile with two sides against a raised edge along two interconnected sides of the underlayment tile, the finishing tile is aligned. By coupling another underlayment tile to the underlayment tile on which a finishing tile is placed, the finishing tile is fixed by clamping the finishing tile between the raised edge of the underlayment tile on which the finishing tile is placed and the raised edge of the another underlayment tile that is coupled. In this way, no adhesive is needed to fix a finishing tile.
  • an underlayment element may be coupled simultaneous to two adjacent underlayment elements, by positioning the recesses above the protruding tongues of the two adjacent underlayment elements forming a corner to position the raised edge of the underlayment element to be positioned and subsequently moving said underlayment element perpendicular to the plane of the supporting surface to fix the protruding tongues in the recesses.
  • the protruding tongues on opposite sides are equally spaced along the sides with a distance corresponding to the length of a side divided by the number of tongues/recesses along said side.
  • This feature enables to lay tiles not only in a grid pattern but also in other patterns, e.g. brickwork pattern, stretcher bond pattern.
  • This feature also enables to use tiles with different dimensions in a modular floor system.
  • the coupling structures ensure that adjacent tiles cannot slide off or past each other and that they can be placed staggered with respect to each other over a distance that is N times the length of an edge section, where N is a natural number.
  • the top surface of the raised edge of an underlayment element closes the distance between neighbouring finishing layer elements. In this way, the raised edge between two finishing tiles provides a seal between the two finishing tiles at the top of the seal. This reduces the chance that moisture or dirt present on top of the floor will sink between the raised edge and the finishing tile.
  • a cross section of the top surface of the raised edge of an underlayment element has a concave shape.
  • the raised edge is wider at the top than at the bottom. This feature improves the sealing quality of the raised edge as the resilient material as the upper part of the resilient material that makes up the raised edge is squeezed more between two finishing tiles than the lower part of the raised edge.
  • the side of the raised edge facing away from the support surface leans forward. These features improve the sealing quality of the raised edge between adjacent finishing tiles.
  • the side of ends of the raised edge leans outwards. This feature improves the sealing quality between the end side wall of a raised edge of an underlayment tile and a side wall of a raised edge of another underlayment tile coupled to said underlayment tile.
