ABSTRACT:
A portable area floor covering and method is directed to a floor covering that is durable yet sufficiently flexible to facilitate portability, exhibits a robust construction and a very attractive and aesthetically pleasing appearance for use in residential and commercial environments. In its most fundamental embodiment, the portable area floor covering comprises a construction including a durable, flexible sheet layer formed of a plurality of sheet sections wherein each sheet section includes a plurality of outer edges. A flexible base layer is affixed to a bottom side of each of the sheet sections to form a backing for the durable, flexible sheet layer. A border reducer is fused to the flexible base layer and to the outer edges of the sheet sections. The border reducer is wedge-shaped which facilitates interfacing with a floor surface. Finally, a padding layer is secured to a bottom side of the flexible base layer to provide cushioning to the entire portable area floor covering. In lieu of the multiple sheet sections, the flexible sheet layer can be formed from a single continuous sheet section.
