Modular entrance floor system
A modular entrance floor system comprising a plurality of floor sections, the plurality of floor sections being disposed adjacent each other and defining a perimeter of an entrance floor area. Each floor section includes a base plate permanently coupled to a foundation, and a surface plate removably attached to the base plate. The surface plate has at least one drain feature. The plurality of floor sections are configured such that the surface plate of a first floor section is interchangeable with the surface plate of a second floor section, independent of the adjacent floor sections.
1. A modular entrance floor system comprising:
a plurality of floor sections, each floor section including:
a base plate having opposing first and second surfaces and first and second sides defining a width of the base plate, the base plate having uniform height;
a surface plate having opposing first and second surfaces and first and second sides defining a width of the surface plate, the surface plate being removably attached to the base plate and having at least one drain feature;
wherein the width of the surface plate is substantially equal to or less than the width of the base plate; and
wherein the plurality of floor sections are configured such that the surface plate of a first floor section is interchangeable with the surface plate of a second floor section.
2. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein no side of any floor section is greater than 20 inches.
3. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the base plate is coupled to a foundation.
4. The modular entrance floor system of claim 2 , wherein the first surface of the base plate is coupled to a foundation.
5. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the second surface of the base plate includes means for attaching the surface plate.
6. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the base plate has a plurality of apertures extending between the first and second surfaces, the base plate further comprising a barrier sheet disposed on the second surface of the base plate adjacent the surface plate.
7. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein each surface plate is removable from its base plate independent of adjacent surface plates.
8. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the base plate is configured to receive at least one of water and debris from the drain feature.
9. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the drain feature is an aperture.
10. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the drain feature is an elongated recess.
11. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the surface plate further comprises at least one housing configured to receive at least one insert.
12. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the surface plate further comprises at least one cap attached thereto.
13. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein the surface plate includes at least one downwardly extending wall defining a gap between the surface plate and the base plate.
14. The modular entrance floor system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one wall includes at least one opening formed therein.
15. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein no side of any floor section is greater than 25 inches.
16. The modular entrance floor system of claim 1 , wherein no side of any floor section is greater than 40 inches.
17. A modular entrance floor system comprising:
a plurality of floor sections, each floor section including:
a base plate coupled to a foundation;
a surface plate removably attached to the base plate, the surface plate including at least one downwardly extending wall defining a gap between the surface plate and the base plate, wherein the at least one wall includes at least one opening formed therein; and
wherein the plurality of floor sections are configured such that a first surface plate of a select floor section is interchangeable with a second surface plate independent of any surface plates adjacent to the first surface plate.
18. The modular entrance floor system of claim 17 , wherein the base plate includes means for attaching the surface plate.
19. The modular entrance floor system of claim 17 , wherein the surface plate includes a drain feature.
20. The modular entrance floor system of claim 19 , wherein the drain feature is an aperture.
21. The modular entrance floor system of claim 17 , wherein the wall circumscribes the surface plate.
22. The modular entrance floor system of claim 17 , wherein the base plate has a plurality of apertures extending between first and second surfaces of the base plate, the base plate further comprising a barrier sheet disposed on the second surface of the base plate adjacent the surface plate.
23. The modular entrance floor system of claim 17 , wherein the surface plate further comprises at least one housing configured to receive at least one insert.
