Abstract
A floor tile including a plurality of ribs defining an upper surface of the floor tile, each rib comprising a flat top configured to be parallel with a floor, wherein a thickness of each rib tapers toward the flat top. The flat top configuration increases wet weather traction by transitioning into a specific taper to decrease the surface tension so that water will effectively wet off and not affect traction. The understructure of the tile can have commercial load bearing capacity and built in channels for water drainage.
