PURPOSE:To make walking feeling soft and lessen the fatigue, and improve dimensional stability, static electrification proof and cleaning property by having a surface layer comprising the woven fabric of a metallic wire material and a backing layer comprising a flexible polymer material laminated on the rear surface thereof. CONSTITUTION:A tile panel 1 is constituted with a surface layer 2 comprising the woven fabric of a metallic wire material, and a backing layer comprising a flexible polymer material integrally laminated on the rear surface thereof, and at least one part of the peripheral end part of the woven fabric of the metallic wire material forming the surface layer 2 extends downwards along the side edge surface of the backing layer 3, and forms a side surface covering part 4 for covering at least one part of the side edge surface. The side surface covering part 4 forms a continuous electric conductor, as a number of tile panels are arrayed and adhered on a floor surface, because it comes into contact with the side surface covering part of an adjacent tile panel. If the side surface covering part 4 is directed to be formed at least on two side edge surfaces, preferably, on entire side edge surfaces, the space accommodating the backing layer is formed and partitioned; thus, the integral laminating operation of the surface layer 2 and the backing layer 3 becomes easily.
