Abstract: A modular surfacing system has edge pieces with skirts attached using a break away adhesive material allowing separation of the pieces without damage. The edge rail pieces may be used alone or with the skirt piece attached at any of a variety of overhanging heights to cover different substrate edge thicknesses. Skirts may be interchanged. The modular surfacing pieces may be solid seamless cut natural stone modular pieces, laminated natural stone modular pieces, composite material or synthetic material shaped into modular pieces. The pieces are cut into any desired sizes with wide edging of any desirable thickness and solid piece corners as well as mating modular surface tiles and mating modular backsplash tiles.
