Disclosed herein is a modular flooring assembly including a flooring component adhered to a first tray substrate and a second tray substrate which are interconnected to form an assembled tray substrate. The assembled tray substrate may be interconnected with additional assembled tray substrates to form a modular floor suitable for most flooring applications. The flooring component may be tile or wood or other materials commonly used in flooring applications. Convention fill-in grout or a snap-in grout may be used with the modular flooring assemblies.

This specification describes a tray substrate for tile flooring that can be used in narrow grout line modular floating tile assemblies. The tray is preferably made of plastic and has vertical tray edges around the top of the tray substrate with upward and downward tabs protruding from the sides of the tray substrate wherein some of the tabs are at least partially recessed under the surface of the tray.

A tray substrate (100) of a flooring system comprises : a tray substrate surface which is an upward facing horizontal surface; a tray substrate bottom with a padding attached to the tray substrate bottom; a plurality of vertical tray edges which protrude upward and extend around a perimeter of the tray substrate surface; a plurality of tray substrate edges defining an outsider perimeter of the tray substrate; the tray substrate edges having a plurality of upward tabs (200) and a plurality of downward tabs (300), wherein the upward tabs (200) have a surface (210) and a valley (220), and the downward tabs (300) have a surface (310) and a lip (320). In order to provide a narrow gap between two interconnected tray substrates, a portion (330) of each downward tab (300) is recessed under the upward facing horizontal surface.
A tray substrate (100B) for a modular tile flooring system is disclosed that allows installation of medallion floating tiles into the flooring system. This tray substrate is designed to be a smaller medallion type tray substrate installed amongst larger tray substrates in a shape that is twisted at an angle to the grout lines of the other tiles. This is known as a medallion which is inserted in the layout.
