Abstract
The present invention relates to a new method for the installation of building tiles without any adhesive materials (fine grained sand and cement or glues) or joint fillers (e.g. stucco), directly onto a bare wall or floor without any prior preparation of the latter. This method shows substantial advantages and is implemented using frame-plates mountable onto the wall or floor and standardized tiles with engagement means, suitable to match corresponding engagement means of the frame plates. An illustrative view of the installation process with the frame plates and tiles of the invention is presented in FIG. 16.
Claims5
Method for the installation of building tiles without adhesive materials, comprising the following stages:
- mounting a vertically and horizontally oriented serial arrangement of plastic frame plates onto a bare unplastered planar or curved surface, each of said frame plates having longitudinally extending, vertically and horizontally oriented allignment channels, said channels alternately extending into mutually fitting protrusions and recessions forming said longitudinally extending channels, and
- fitting a series of plastic standardized tiles upon said serial arrangement of frame plates, the external perimeter of each tile being formed with an arrangement of alternately extending protrusions and correspondingly shaped recessions, where in the assembly process each said protrusion is accurately inserted within said correspondingly shaped recession of an adjacent tile, thereby forming an overall planar tile-covered surface with vertically and horizontally running lines of cohesion, whereupon no water-proofing filler is required because of the broken-line section of each of said vertically and horizontally running lines of cohesion, where fitting of said series of plastic standardized tiles upon the previously installed said serial arrangement of plastic frame plates is performed when by means of a manually exerted slight pressure an arrangement of protrusions provided on the internal surface of each said tile is removably buttoned upon a corresponding arrangement of recessions provided on the external surface of each said frame plate.
