TILE BACK-STAMP DESIGN AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE OF TILE/SUBSTRATE SYSTEM

摘要

A tile has a back-stamp design including a recessed network of channels including intersecting interior channels that traverse in a plurality of directions across the back-stamp design. The perimeter of the back-stamp design is traversed by a raised border, and a plurality of plateaus define the interior channels therebetween. The raised border and the plateaus both extend from the depth of the recessed network of channels to a common outer plane. A plurality of the tiles can be bonded to a substrate to produce a multi-tile panel that can then be installed, e.g., as flooring.
