Abstract: The invention is a magnetically adhered, static dissipative floor covering, comprising a magnetically receptive floor surface; and a floor covering comprising a plurality of static dissipative, magnetic floor tiles, wherein the tiles are held in place by magnetic interaction between the tiles and the magnetically receptive surface.

Abstract: A magnetically adhered, static dissipative floor covering comprises a magnetically receptive floor surface, and a floor covering comprising a plurality of static dissipative, magnetic floor tiles. The magnetic floor tiles are held in place by magnetic interaction between the magnetic floor tiles and the magnetically receptive floor surface. Each of the magnetic floor tiles is a composite construction comprising a static dissipative vinyl wear layer, an integral, conductive ground plane, and an integral, planar magnetic layer. The conductive ground plane comprises a non-woven synthetic fabric with a nickel-copper coating and a conductive adhesive backing. The conductive ground plane is bonded to the static dissipative wearing layer by the conductive adhesive backing.

Abstract: A method for installing a floor covering comprising the steps of:—providing a thinset composition (21) on top of a subfloor (20)—providing a covering element (1) on top of said thinset composition (1) when the thinset composition (21) is in an uncured or partially cured state, wherein said covering element (1) has an upper side and a lower side (1b) and is removably attached to an intermediate layer (14) at its lower side (1b), so that said intermediate layer (14) enters into contact with the thinset composition (21).

Abstract: A method of creating a magnetically adhered, static dissipative floor covering (1). The method comprises the steps of providing a magnetically receptive floor surface (3), and supplying a floor covering comprising a plurality of static dissipative, magnetic floor tiles (4). The tiles (4) are held in place by magnetic interaction between the tiles (4) and the magnetically receptive surface (3). The floor tiles (4) are of composite construction comprising a) a static dissipative vinyl wearing layer (5), b) an integral, conductive ground plane (6) and c) an integral, planar magnetic layer (7), The conductive ground plane (6) comprises a non-woven synthetic fabric (8) with a nickel-copper coating and a conductive adhesive backing (9). The conductive ground plane (6) is bonded to the static dissipative wearing layer (5) by the conductive adhesive backing (9).
