Abstract:
A method for assembling a repeating series of tiles comprising the steps of:providing a first, a second, and a third series of tiles, the first series of tiles having at least three tiles each having a first side configured to interface with a side of an adjacent tile within the first series of tiles and a second side configured to interface with a side of an adjacent tile within the second series of tiles, each of the first and second sides of each tile within the first series of tiles having a different shape than respective sides of the other tiles within the first series of tiles such that a curvilinear side of a last tile within the first series is configured to interface with a complementary side of a first tile of the third series of tiles; placing each tile in the first series of tiles on a floor surface adjacent to and in contact with each other along a first row, and placing the first tile of the third series of tiles on the surface along the first row such that the complementary side of the first tile of the third series of tiles is adjacent to and in contact with the curvilinear side of the last tile of the first series of tiles; and placing each tile in the second series of tiles on the floor along a second row such that each tile in the second series of tiles is adjacent to and in contact with adjacent tiles of the first series of tiles so as to form a repeating series of tiles.
