Abstract:
An illustrative embodiment of a tile and support structure may include a plurality of tiles, which may be generally rectangular in shape, engaged with one or more support structures. The tile may be formed with four edges, wherein two opposing edges may be formed with grooves therein and the other two opposing edges may be formed with protrusions thereon. The support structure may be formed with a generally vertical spine having two rails extending outward from a distal end thereof. The support structure may also include two generally horizontally extending flanges, which may be formed with a trough therein. The trough may include a plurality of apertures formed therein. One side of the trough may be defined by a lip.

Claim (Index 19):
The method according to  claim 10  further comprising:\n a) sliding a third tile between said second and third support structures, wherein said third tile has a height, a width, and a thickness, said second tile comprising:\n i) a first face, wherein said first face is configured to be generally facing upward during use; \n ii) a second face, wherein said second face is opposite said first face, wherein said first and second faces are separated by said thickness of said third tile, and wherein a surface area of said first and second faces is defined by said height and said width of said third tile; \n iii) a first, second, third, and fourth edge defining a periphery of said third tile; \n iv) a first groove formed in one of said first edge; and, \n v) a second groove formed in one of said third edge, wherein said first and third edges are parallel to one another. \n \n b) securing a position of said third tile with respect to said second and third support structures in a generally horizontal dimension parallel with respect to said first and second joists via an engagement of said first and second rails with said first and second grooves in said third tile; and, \n c) securing a position of said third tile with respect to said first and second support structures in a generally vertical dimension perpendicular with respect to said first and second joists via an engagement of said first and second rails with said first and second grooves in said third tile.
