Description

L'invention a pour objet un procédé de pose de carreaux ou carrelage en revêtement de sols ainsi que le carrelage posé selon ce procédé.The subject of the invention is a method for laying tiles or floor covering as well as tiling laid according to this method.

La pose des carreaux lourds, en terre cuite, demi-grès, grès, ciments de composition diverse, etc... en revêtement de sols des bâtiments est faite, traditionnellement, sur un bain de mortier constituant une chape de pose sur le support existant : planchers divers ou dalle en béton par exemple.The laying of heavy tiles, terracotta, semi-sandstone, sandstone, cements of various composition, etc. ... in the covering of building floors is traditionally done on a mortar bath constituting a screed laying on the existing support : various floors or concrete slab for example.

La chape formée par le bain de mortier a pour objet de permettre d'assurer la régularité et la planéité de la pose des carreaux, ainsi que la fixation des carreaux sur cette chape. La pose est complétée ensuite par la façon des joints entre les carreaux par bain de mortier de ciment liquide. Ce procédé classique a de nombreux inconvénients, et notamment les suivants :

  • 1. il n'oppose aucune barrière à la transmission des bruits d'impact au travers du plancher, la chape de pose rendant solidaires le carrelage et le plancher, sauf à exécuter une dalle flottante par interposition entre le plancher et la chape d'un matériau isolant indépendant du plancher, ce qui grève évidemment assez considérablement le prix de la construction, sans donner d'autre part entière satisfaction car il est difficile d'éviter la formation de défauts locaux de cette dalle flottante formant des ponts sonores.
  • 2. il impose une exécution longue en elle-même, pénible et nécessitant l'intervention de spécialistes très consciencieux.
  • 3. l'utilisation d'un bain de mortier et le rejointoiement ultérieur au bain de ciment peut introduire des désordres dans la construction tels que des taches de ciment sur le carrelage et à la base des cloisons notamment en plâtre de la construction ;
  • 4. il oblige en pratique sur tout le tour de la pièce à recouper les carreaux pour venir au contact des cloisons, ce recoupage étant là encore un travail difficile et long.
The purpose of the screed formed by the mortar bath is to ensure the regularity and the flatness of the laying of the tiles, as well as the fixing of the tiles on this screed. The installation is then completed by the way of the joints between the tiles by bath of liquid cement mortar. This conventional process has many drawbacks, including the following:
  • 1. it does not oppose any barrier to the transmission of impact noise through the floor, the laying screed making the tiling and the floor integral, except to execute a floating slab by interposition between the floor and the screed insulating material independent of the floor, which obviously increases the construction price quite considerably, without giving full satisfaction on the other hand because it is difficult to avoid the formation of local defects of this floating slab forming sound bridges.
  • 2. it imposes a long execution in itself, painful and requiring the intervention of very conscientious specialists.
  • 3. the use of a mortar bath and the repointing subsequent to the cement bath can introduce disorders in the construction such as stains of cement on the tiles and at the base of the partitions, in particular plaster of the construction;
  • 4. it requires in practice all around the room to cut the tiles to come into contact with the partitions, this cutting is again difficult and long work.

Parmi les documents connus relatifs aux techniques de pose des carreaux, on peut en particulier relever les brevets FR-A-2 436 859 et CH-A-527 343.Among the known documents relating to the techniques of laying tiles, one can in particular note the patents FR-A-2 436 859 and CH-A-527 343.

Au document FR-A-2 436 859 est décrit un procédé destiné à la réalisation de revêtements de sols qui s'apparente étroitement au système classique de pose sur les murs de carreaux préassem- blés et précollés sur une plaque support.Document FR-A-2 436 859 describes a process intended for producing floor coverings which closely resembles the conventional system for laying on the walls of pre-assembled and pre-glued tiles on a support plate.

Dans ce cas, les carreaux ne sont donc pas libres individuellement et ne comportent pas de moyens de verrouillage tant mutuel que dans leur ensemble, ce qui impose toute une préparation préalable à la pose en elle-même du carrelage.In this case, the tiles are therefore not free individually and do not include locking means as mutual as in their entirety, which requires a whole preparation prior to the laying in itself of the tiling.

Quant au brevet CH-A-527 343, il propose une solution qui consiste, pour des dalles en béton ou en matériaux comparables, à prévoir des rainures ou des bouvets sur certaines au moins des tranches de ces dalles de manière à faire coopérer, lors de la pose, les bouvets d'une dalle et les rainures des dalles adjacentes.As for patent CH-A-527 343, it proposes a solution which consists, for concrete or comparable material slabs, of providing grooves or gills on at least some of the edges of these slabs so as to make cooperate, during installation, the panels of a slab and the grooves of the adjacent slabs.

Malheureusement l'enseignement de ce document se limite à ce système de verrouillage mutuel, sans proposer de réelles solutions pour renouveler fondamentalement les techniques de pose des carreaux.Unfortunately the teaching of this document is limited to this mutual locking system, without proposing real solutions to fundamentally renew the techniques of laying tiles.

C'est donc dans ce contexte que l'invention a pour objet, en résolvant les diverses difficultés ci- dessus mentionnées, de rendre la pose des carrelages très aisée et de conférer au carrelage posé des qualités propres supérieures à celles qu'on obtient selon les procédés classiques et connus.It is therefore in this context that the object of the invention is, by solving the various difficulties mentioned above, to make the laying of tiles very easy and to give the laid tiles of their own qualities superior to those obtained according to conventional and known methods.

Plus précisément, le procédé de pose de carreaux ou carrelage en céramique, terre cuite, grès ou analogue pour constituer un revêtement de sols sur une dalle ou un plancher, indique selon l'invention que

  • - l'on place sur la dalle ou le plancher une moquette, un tapis aiguilleté, un tapis composé ou analogue formant feuille ou couche d'isolation phonique et de support
  • - l'on dispose sur cette couche lesdits carreaux en céramique, terre-cuite, grès ou analogue qui comportent des moyens de verrouillage mutuels tels qu'au moins une tranche bouvetée et/ou une tranche rainurée, en faisant correspondre et engageant les bouvets (ou les rainures) d'un carreau avec et dans les rainures (ou sur les bouvets) des carreaux adjacents, tout en laissant libre de carreaux, à la périphérie de la surface à recouvrir, en bordure des parois de limitation de cette surface, une bande d'une certaine largeur,
  • - et l'on positionne et fixe dans cette bande, qui occupe toute sa largeur, une contre-plinthe en bois, matériau plastique, aggloméré ou autre matériau analogue. ladite contre-plinthe comportant sur sa tranche dirigée vers le carrelage posé, des moyens de verrouillage tels qu'un bouvet ou une rainure, conformés pour s'engager dans ou sur les moyens de verrouillage précités des carreaux, tels que rainures ou bouvets adjacents des carreaux, contre lesquels elle porte et qu'elle verrouille.
More specifically, the method of laying tiles or ceramic tiles, terracotta, sandstone or the like to form a floor covering on a slab or floor, indicates according to the invention that
  • - a carpet, a needled carpet, a compound carpet or the like forming a sheet or layer of sound insulation and support is placed on the slab or the floor
  • - said ceramic, terracotta, stoneware or similar tiles are placed on this layer which include mutual locking means such as at least one grooved edge and / or a grooved edge, by matching and engaging the horns ( or the grooves) of a tile with and in the grooves (or on the panes) of adjacent tiles, while leaving free of tiles, at the periphery of the surface to be covered, at the edge of the limiting walls of this surface, a strip of a certain width,
  • - And we position and fix in this strip, which occupies its entire width, a wooden plinth, plastic, agglomerated or other similar material. said counter-plinth comprising on its edge directed towards the laid tiling, locking means such as a cup or a groove, shaped to engage in or on the aforementioned locking means of the tiles, such as grooves or adjacent cupboards of the tiles, against which she wears and locks.

De cette façon la pose du carrelage s'effectue à sec, et non plus sur une chape de pose en mortier de béton, et en outre les carreaux sont isolés du plancher par la moquette ou le tapis sous-jacent support qui forme une excellente isolation phonique.In this way the laying of the tiles is carried out dry, and no longer on a screed laying in concrete mortar, and in addition the tiles are isolated from the floor by the carpet or the underlying support carpet which forms excellent insulation. phonic.

En effet, compte tenu de la planéité approchée obtenue par les surfaces supérieures des planchers actuels, sur lesquels un ragréage de l'ordre du millimètre suffit à assurer la régularité de pose d'une simple moquette, on peut selon le procédé de l'invention simplement poser sur un tel plancher une moquette en larges bandes qui pourront être déroulées. Un collage d'appoint éventuel peut être prévu réunissant la moquette au plancher ou à la dalle support du bâtiment. Sur ce tapis sont posés les carreaux dont les moyens de verrouillage mutuel assurent une bonne tenue de l'ensemble. Eventuellement un collage complémentaire des carreaux sur le tapis support peut être prévu soit à la colle, soit par bande adhésive double face.Indeed, taking into account the approximate flatness obtained by the upper surfaces of current floors, on which a leveling of the order of a millimeter is sufficient to ensure the regularity of laying a simple carpet, it is possible according to the method of the invention simply lay on such a floor carpet in large strips that can be unrolled. A possible back-up bonding can be provided joining the carpet to the floor or to the building's support slab. On this carpet are placed the tiles, the mutual locking means ensuring good performance of the assembly. Possibly a complete collage the tiles on the support mat can be provided either with glue or with double-sided adhesive tape.

On notera en outre que selon le procédé de l'invention, si l'on commence par exécuter le carrelage de la pièce par le centre, la pose du carrelage se termine lorsqu'on arrive à la périphérie de la pièce par la pose de la contre-plinthe contre la cloison, laquelle contre-plinthe encadre et verrouille l'ensemble du carrelage posé. On obtient de la sorte à la fois un très bel effet esthétique d'encadrement du carrelage, et d'autre part un verrouillage efficace de l'ensemble en évitant les opérations fastidieuses et délicates de recoupe des carreaux à la périphérie de la pièce.It will also be noted that according to the method of the invention, if one starts by executing the tiling of the room by the center, the laying of the tiling ends when one arrives at the periphery of the room by laying the counter-plinth against the partition, which counter-plinth frames and locks the entire set of tiles. In this way we obtain both a very beautiful aesthetic framing effect on the tiling, and on the other hand an effective locking of the assembly while avoiding the tedious and delicate operations of cutting the tiles at the periphery of the room.

L'invention se rapporte en outre à un carrelage posé en revêtement de sols. sur une dalle ou un plancher selon le procédé que l'on vient de présenter selon la revendication 4.The invention further relates to a tile laid as a floor covering. on a slab or a floor according to the process which has just been presented according to claim 4.

Mais l'invention et sa mise en oeuvre apparaîtront plus clairement à l'aide de la description qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • - la figure 1 montre de façon schématique et en perspective un carreau nouveau conçu selon l'invention ;
  • - la figure 2 montre en vue perspective le principe général de mise en place et de pose des carreaux conformément à l'invention ;
  • - la figure 3 montre schématiquement vu de dessus un carrelage réalisé avec sa bordure ;
  • - la figure 4 montre en vue perspective une variante d'un carreau pouvant être utilisé selon l'invention.
However, the invention and its implementation will appear more clearly with the aid of the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • - Figure 1 shows schematically and in perspective a new tile designed according to the invention;
  • - Figure 2 shows in perspective view the general principle of placement and installation of tiles according to the invention;
  • - Figure 3 shows schematically seen from above a tiling made with its border;
  • - Figure 4 shows in perspective view a variant of a tile that can be used according to the invention.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré aux dessins et en se reportant tout d'abord aux figures 1 à 3, on utilise pour réaliser un carrelage 10 des carreaux individuels 11 de section horizontale sensiblement rectangulaire ou carrée comportant deux tranches ou bords plans 12, 13 en vis-à-vis et deux tranches 14, 15 en vis-à-vis comportant respectivement un bouvet 16 et une rainure 17.According to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings and with reference first to Figures 1 to 3, is used to make a tiling 10 individual tiles 11 of substantially rectangular or square horizontal section having two edges or planar edges 12, 13 in vis-à-vis and two sections 14, 15 vis-à-vis respectively comprising a cup 16 and a groove 17.

Comme il apparaît plus clairement à la figure 2, le carrelage est posé sur un tapis 18 lui même posé sur une dalle support 19 par exemple en béton armé.As appears more clearly in FIG. 2, the tiling is placed on a carpet 18 itself placed on a support slab 19, for example in reinforced concrete.

A la périphérie du carrelage, c'est-à-dire vers les cloisons ou parois 20 de la pièce carrelée on dispose des contre-plinthes 21 de largeur 1 appropriée à la largeur de l'espace compris entre la périphérie du carrelage et la cloison 20. Ces contre-plinthes comportent, dans l'exemple illustré, une rainure 22 sur les tranches adjacentes au carrelage 10 et s'adaptant sur le bouvet 16 des carreaux 11 adjacents. De façon à faciliter la mise en place de la contre-plinthe 21, celle-ci comporte en outre sur son bord externe inférieur un profil arrondi 21 a de dégagement et mise en place.At the periphery of the tiling, that is to say towards the partitions or walls 20 of the tiled room, there are counter-plinths 21 of width 1 suitable for the width of the space between the periphery of the tiling and the partition 20. These counter-plinths include, in the example illustrated, a groove 22 on the edges adjacent to the tile 10 and fitting on the cup 16 of the adjacent tiles 11. In order to facilitate the positioning of the counter-plinth 21, the latter further comprises on its lower external edge a rounded profile 21 has clearance and positioning.

La construction est parachevée par la mise en place par dessus la contre-plinthe 21 d'une plinthe 23 qui peut être fixée à la cloison 20.The construction is completed by the installation over the plinth 21 of a plinth 23 which can be fixed to the partition 20.

Avantageusement la contre-plinthe 21 comprend des passages en creux 24 sur sa face inférieure permettant le logement de canalisations, par exemple de câbles électriques 25. Pour effectuer la pose du carrelage, il suffit de placer sur le plancher ou la dalle de support 19 le tapis d'isolation 18 de qualité appropriée, tel qu'une moquette, un tapis aiguilleté, un tapis composé, par exemple du type connu sous la dénomination « lsolamur de la Société France Tapis. Le tapis ou la moquette doit seulement présenter une surface de pose suffisamment rigide pour permettre la pose aisée des carreaux et doit répondre aux normes d'atténuation des bruits correspondant à l'usage des lieux. Le tapis ou la moquette peuvent éventuellement être collés à la dalle 19, mais cela n'est pas une obligation et généralement il suffira de les poser et dérouler sur place.Advantageously, the counter-plinth 21 includes hollow passages 24 on its underside allowing the accommodation of pipes, for example of electrical cables 25. To lay the tiling, it suffices to place on the floor or the support slab 19 the insulation mat 18 of appropriate quality, such as a carpet, a needled carpet, a compound carpet, for example of the type known under the name "lsolamur from the company France Tapis. The carpet or carpet must only have a sufficiently rigid laying surface to allow easy installation of the tiles and must meet the noise reduction standards corresponding to the use of the premises. The carpet or the carpet can possibly be glued to the slab 19, but this is not an obligation and generally it will be enough to lay them and unroll on the spot.

On procède ensuite à la pose des carreaux en commençant par le centre de la pièce, et en engageant mutuellement les bouvets 16 d'un carreau dans les rainures 17 du carreau adjacent. En bordure de la pièce, on pose les contre-plinthes 21 de largeur appropriée à l'espace restant entre le carrelage 10 et les cloisons ou murs de la pièce. Cette largeur sera en général inférieur à la moitié d'un carreau, quoique des largeurs plus grandes peuvent être utilisées si on recherche un effet esthétique correspondant d'encadrement. La contre-plinthe 21 comportera soit une rainure 22 pour loger des bouvets 16, soit un bouvet pour loger les rainures du côté opposé de la pièce, à moins qu'on prévoie pour la tranche opposée des carreaux 11 comportant deux bouvets 16 sur leurs tranches opposées. La contre-plinthe est avantageusement réalisée en bois, matériau plastique ou similaire facile à profiler selon de grandes longueurs et à découper à la mesure aussi bien en longueur qu'en largeur pour permettre d'adaptation précise aux dimensions du local. Si des canalisations 25 doivent être placées dans la contre-plinthe, cette opération est effectuée juste avant sa mise en place.Next, the tiles are laid, starting from the center of the room, and mutually engaging the trims 16 of a tile in the grooves 17 of the adjacent tile. At the edge of the room, the counter-plinths 21 of appropriate width are placed to the space remaining between the tiling 10 and the partitions or walls of the room. This width will generally be less than half a tile, although larger widths can be used if a corresponding aesthetic framing effect is sought. The counter-plinth 21 will have either a groove 22 to accommodate the cupboards 16, or a cupboard to accommodate the grooves on the opposite side of the part, unless provision is made for the opposite edge of the tiles 11 comprising two handles 16 on their edges opposite. The plinth is advantageously made of wood, plastic or similar material that is easy to profile over great lengths and to cut to measure both in length and in width to allow precise adaptation to the dimensions of the room. If pipes 25 have to be placed in the plinth, this operation is carried out just before its installation.

Après quoi on positionne la plinthe 23 et on la fixe aux murs et aux cloisons de la pièce, ce qui assure le verrouillage de toute la construction.After which the plinth 23 is positioned and fixed to the walls and partitions of the room, which ensures the locking of the entire construction.

Bien entendu on peut si désirer prévoir en outre un collage complémentaire des carreaux 11 sur le tapis support et/ou de la contre-plinthe. Cependant on préférera généralement ne pas coller la contre-plinthe de façon à permettre un accès aux canalisations 25 par simple démontage de la plinthe 23.Of course, it is possible, if desired, to provide further bonding of the tiles 11 on the support mat and / or of the plinth. However, it is generally preferable not to glue the counter-plinth so as to allow access to the pipes 25 by simple dismantling of the plinth 23.

De préférence l'épaisseur de la contre-plinthe est sensiblement égale à celle des carreaux 11 afin de réaliser une bonne planéité de la surface du sol.Preferably the thickness of the plinth is substantially equal to that of the tiles 11 in order to achieve good flatness of the floor surface.

Selon la variante de réalisation d'un carreau illustré à la figure 4, le carreau 30 comporte un bouvet 31 sur deux de ces tranches et une rainure correspondante 32 sur ses deux autres tranches. Avec un tel carreau, il est possible d'obtenir un verrouillage mutuel plus efficace des carreaux qui sont verrouillés sur les quatre tranches au lieu de l'être sur deux seulement d'entre elles.According to the variant embodiment of a tile illustrated in FIG. 4, the tile 30 includes a cup 31 on two of these sections and a corresponding groove 32 on its two other sections. With such a tile, it is possible to obtain a more effective mutual locking of the tiles which are locked on the four edges instead of being locked on only two of them.

Diverses variantes peuvent être apportées au mode de réalisation illustré et décrit en respectant le contenu des revendications.Various variants can be made to the embodiment illustrated and described while respecting the content of the claims.

Ainsi par exemple, les moyens de verrouillage des carreaux peuvent être de configuration différente de celle d'un bouvet et d'une rainure correspondante ; par exemple les bords des carreaux peuvent être en forme de V saillant ou de V rentrant assurant une même fonction de verrouillage.Thus, for example, the means for locking the tiles can be of a configuration different from that of a cup and a corresponding groove; for example, the edges of the tiles may be in the form of a protruding V or a re-entrant V ensuring the same locking function.

De même, on peut éventuellement après la pose des carreaux terminer un carrelage en faisant des joints au moyen d'un produit d'emploi facile tel que des pâtes plastiques ou des laits de suspensions appropriées. Ces joints auront essentiellement une fonction d'aspect, la mise en place et le verrouillage des carreaux étant assuré par les moyens décrits.Likewise, it is possible, after laying the tiles, to finish a tiling by making joints by means of an easy-to-use product such as plastic pastes or suitable suspension milks. These joints will essentially have an appearance function, the positioning and locking of the tiles being ensured by the means described.

Outre les carreaux mentionnés, l'invention peut s'appliquer à la pose d'éléments de sol divers, tels par exemple que des dalles de pierre. La nature du tapis sousjacent de pose sera chaque fois choisie en fonction des impératifs de la construction : isolation phonique et/ou thermique, résistance de charge, élasticité ou rigidité, etc...In addition to the tiles mentioned, the invention can be applied to the laying of various floor elements, such as for example stone slabs. The nature of the underlying laying carpet will be chosen each time according to the requirements of the construction: sound and / or thermal insulation, load resistance, elasticity or rigidity, etc.
