A display system and related method permitting a prospective purchaser of
floor coverings to engage in the contemporaneous physical manipulation and
evaluation of various combinations of surface patterns and/or placement
orientations for floor covering tile elements prior to actual
installation. Simulated tile elements having surface patterns
corresponding to the surface patterns of the actual floor covering tile
elements are disposed across a display surface in a releasably attachable
manner such that one or more of the simulated tile elements may be rotated
or replaced to simulate at least one alternative arrangement.
