Abstract
The invention relates to a composite tile for an installation system, more particularly for the production of a floor covering or wall covering, comprising a tile of a floor covering or wall covering and a backing disposed on the lay-on face of the tile. The invention also relates to a connecting element for the connection of two composite tiles and to an installation system composed of composite tiles and also to a method for the fabrication of a composite tile. The backing consists of a fiber composite material, more particularly fiber cement.
Claims12
An installation system with composite tiles, a composite tile of the composite tiles comprising a tile of a floor covering or wall covering, and a backing disposed on a lay-on face of the tile,
- wherein the backing includes fiber cement, the tile is made of ceramics or artificial stone, and a connection with the backing is achieved by an adhesive, wherein the backing comprises along a boundary area protrusions disposed in generally a plane of the backing and extending laterally beyond the tile and recesses disposed in generally the plane of the backing and extending laterally beneath the tile, wherein the protrusions and the recesses of the backing protrude laterally beyond the tile and recede laterally beneath the tile, respectively, wherein protrusions of adjoining composite tiles engage in the recesses of the composite tile and are situated beneath the composite tile, respectively, wherein the protrusions and the recesses of the composite tile are formed to include a tolerance when joined to an identical composite tile, wherein the tolerance results in a gap between a protrusion of the composite tile and a recess of an adjacent composite tile, wherein the composite tile includes a lateral face having a groove that is situated exclusively in the backing, and wherein the groove is formed by a surface of the composite tile and a surface of the protrusion.
A composite tile for an installation system, the composite tile comprising a tile of a floor covering or wall covering, and a backing disposed on a lay-on face of the tile,
- wherein the backing comprises along a boundary area a plurality of protrusions disposed in generally a plane of the backing and extending laterally beyond the tile and a plurality of recesses disposed in generally the plane of the backing and extending laterally beneath the tile, and wherein the protrusions and the recesses of the backing protrude laterally beyond the tile and recede laterally beneath the tile, respectively, wherein the composite tile includes a lateral face having a groove that is situated exclusively in the backing or situated in the tile and in the backing, and wherein the groove is formed by a surface of the composite tile and a surface of a protrusion.
An installation system with composite tiles, a composite tile of the composite tiles comprising a tile of a floor covering or wall covering, and a backing disposed on a lay-on face of the tile,
- wherein the backing includes fiber cement, the tile is made of ceramics or artificial stone, and a connection with the backing is achieved by an adhesive, wherein the backing comprises along a boundary area protrusions disposed in generally a plane of the backing and extending laterally beyond the tile and recesses disposed in generally the plane of the backing and extending laterally beneath the tile, wherein the protrusions and the recesses of the backing protrude laterally beyond the tile and recede laterally beneath the tile, respectively, wherein protrusions of adjoining composite tiles engage in the recesses of the composite tile and are situated beneath the composite tile, respectively, wherein the protrusions and the recesses of the composite tile are formed to include a tolerance when joined to an identical composite tile, wherein the tolerance results in a gap between a protrusion of the composite tile and a recess of an adjacent composite tile, wherein the composite tile includes a lateral face having a groove that is situated in the tile and in the backing, and wherein the groove is formed by a surface of the composite tile and a surface of the protrusion.
