ABSTRACT A modular flooring for installation on a subfloor and a method for producing it is disclosed. Each modular elongated section is substantially a U-shaped with the cen- tral part of the U being the weight bearing floor section. A series of parallel slots is formed perpendicular to the elongated dimension, in the weight bearing surface of each floor section. The parallel slots each are formed having side members which are folded down so as to achieve a slot which eliminates the presence of fractured metal or cutting edges along the weight bearing portion of the floor section. On one of the supporting side walls of each floor section is punched a pair of slots. On the oth- er supporting side wall of each floor section is punched a pair of locking tabs. The floor sections may be placed adjacent one another so that the tabs extending from the side wall of one floor section will interlock with the slots punched in the adjacent side wall of the next floor section. The interlocking tabs and slots result in easy assembly and positive spacing of arbitrary numbers of the floor sections. The method of producing a modular floor section has the steps of forming an appropriate piece of sheet metal into a rectangular shape, forming the ends of each of the slots with a press drill by drilling two sets of holes properly spaced in the sheet metal section along a center- line perpendicular to the elongated dimension, between each pair of previously drilled holes, cutting the sheet metal along the common centerline, bending the sheet metal downwardly along the previously made cuts and away from the operative side of the weight bearing portion of the floor section, as a final step the sides of the floor section are formed by bending the edges of rectangularly shaped piece of sheet metal so that each section has sub- stantially the shape of a U.
