Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for laying a modular surface covering system on a surface to the covered and an underlayment element for use in such a method and modular surface covering system. The underlayment element comprises a planar base (102) with a raised edge (106) along two interconnected sides of the underlayment element. First coupling elements in the form of recesses (110) are provided along the two sides with the raised edge and second coupling elements in the form of protruding tongues (112) are provided along the other two interconnected sides. The finishing layer elements (150) are clamped between raised edges of coupled underlayment elements. The top surface of a raised edge between finishing layer element provides the grout effect. The underlayment elements enables one to lay a surface covering system with a multitude of pattern, e.g. as grid pattern, brickwork pattern, herringbone pattern, etc.
