Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for laying a parquet floor in which the traditional wooden joists are replaced by elastic intermediate elements which bear directly on a horizontal base surface. The intermediate elements used are prefabricated flexible strips (1) made of elastic material, especially comprising particles of rubber which have been obtained from recycled tyres and agglomerated by means of an elastomeric binder. The two faces of the strips can be coated with an adhesive layer which is covered by a protective film to be removed before use. The flexible strips (1) are spaced apart from one another on the base surface (15), with application of fresh adhesive as and when appropriate. Electric cables (17) can be passed between the strips and through passages (18) cut in the latter. Fresh adhesive is then applied on the strips (1), and the elements (10, 11) of the parquet floor are then laid, each one resting on at least two strips. These elements do not need to be nailed. This therefore provides a considerable reduction in the duration and cost of the laying work, a comfortable and noiseless parquet floor, as well as the possibility of absorbing the expansions of the parquet floor without any risk of cracking. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé de pose d'un parquet composé d'éléments rigides supportés par des éléments intermédiaires élastiques reposant sur une surface de base rigide. L'invention concerne également une bande préfabriquée pour la pose d'un parquet par ce procédé.The present invention relates to a method of laying a parquet composed of rigid elements supported by elastic intermediate elements resting on a rigid base surface. The invention also relates to a prefabricated strip for laying parquet by this method.

Traditionnellement, un parquet se compose de lames posées sur une chape plus au moins horizontale par l'intermédiaire de lambourdes, c'est-à-dire de petites lattes en bois, espacées l'une de l'autre et permettant la circulation de l'air sous le parquet. Les lambourdes sont mises à niveau avant la pose des lames, au moyen de petites cales qu'on glisse sous les lambourdes afin d'obtenir une surface plane et horizontale. On pose ensuite les lames de bois sur les lambourdes en emboîtant leurs assemblages à rainure et languette, et en les fixant aux lambourdes au moyen de clous plantés à 45° dans la languette ou la rainure pour qu'ils soient invisibles. Ce procédé de pose est fastidieux, minutieux et long, ce qui explique le coût élevé de la pose. D'autre part, un parquet en bois subit des dilatations et des retraits au cours de sa durée de vie. Le manque de souplesse de la fixation provoque alors soit des soulèvements, soit des fentes à certains endroits du parquet. Ces mouvements créent du jeu sur certains clous, lesquels produisent ensuite des grincements par frottement.Traditionally, a parquet consists of planks placed on a more or less horizontal screed by means of joists, that is to say small wooden slats, spaced from each other and allowing the circulation of the under the parquet. The joists are leveled before the installation of the boards, by means of small wedges which are slid under the joists in order to obtain a flat and horizontal surface. The wooden boards are then placed on the joists by fitting their tongue and groove assemblies, and fixing them to the joists with nails planted at 45 ° in the tongue or groove so that they are invisible. This installation process is tedious, meticulous and long, which explains the high cost of installation. On the other hand, a wooden parquet undergoes expansions and withdrawals during its lifetime. The lack of flexibility of the fixing then causes either heaving or cracks in certain places of the parquet. These movements create play on certain nails, which then produce squeaks by friction.

C'est pourquoi on a cherché à prévenir ces inconvénients en posant les éléments du parquet sur des éléments intermédiaires élastiques. Le procédé rudimentaire consistant à remplacer les lambourdes par une semelle élastique, comme le décrit par exemple la publication WO 84/03321 dans le cas particulier d'un parquet fait de pavés de bois, ne convient pas pour les parquets traditionnels parce qu'il ne permet pas d'obtenir une surface finie bien plane.This is why we tried to prevent these drawbacks by placing the elements of the parquet on elastic intermediate elements. The rudimentary process consisting in replacing the joists by an elastic sole, as described for example the publication WO 84/03321 in the particular case of a parquet made of wooden paving stones, is not suitable for traditional parquet floors because it does not does not make it possible to obtain a well flat finished surface.

Un procédé plus élaboré est décrit dans la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0 203 510. Dans ce cas, on applique d'abord sur la surface de base une masse adhésive élastomère sur laquelle on passe une truelle dentée afin d'y créer des nervures parallèles hautes d'environ 5 mm. Pour éviter que ces nervures soient écrasées lors de la pose des éléments rigides du parquet, des rubans ou boudins préfabriqués en élastomère sont fixés sur la face inférieure des éléments de parquet. Les nervures sont plus hautes que ces éléments intermédiaires préfabriqués, de sorte qu'elles se colleront aux éléments du parquet et pourront faire prise pendant que les éléments intermédiaires préfabriqués supportent les faibles charges du parquet lors de la pose. Plus tard, les charges de service seront supportées de manière combinée par les nervures de l'adhésif élastomère et par les éléments élastomères préfabriqués. On conçoit que ce procédé permet d'absorber de petites inégalités de la surface de base, mais il exige quand même beaucoup de soin, de savoir-faire et de temps pour la pose du parquet. Ce dernier doit être protégé contre toute surcharge avant que l'adhésif élastomère ait durci.A more elaborate process is described in European patent application EP-A-0 203 510. In this case, an elastomeric adhesive mass is first applied to the base surface over which a toothed trowel is passed in order to create therein. parallel ribs about 5 mm high. To prevent these ribs from being crushed during the laying of the rigid elements of the parquet, pre-made elastomer ribbons or tubes are fixed on the underside of the parquet elements. The ribs are higher than these prefabricated intermediate elements, so that they will stick to the elements of the parquet and can set while the prefabricated intermediate elements support the low loads of the parquet during laying. Later, the service loads will be supported in a combined manner by the ribs of the elastomeric adhesive and by the prefabricated elastomeric elements. We understand that this process can absorb small unevenness of the base surface, but it still requires a lot of care, know-how and time for laying the parquet. The latter must be protected against overloading before the elastomeric adhesive has hardened.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients exposés ci-dessus, en créant un nouveau procédé de pose qui peut convenir à tous les types de parquets rigides, mais spécialement aux parquets faits de panneaux ou de lames à assemblages à rainure et languette, et permettant une pose rapide et peu coûteuse, notamment par suppression du calage des lambourdes, l'obtention d'un parquet élastique et silencieux grâce à un support qui amortit les pas et les chocs, absorbe les éventuels mouvements de dilatation et de retrait du parquet et n'engendre pas de bruits parasites.The aim of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks set out above, by creating a new laying process which may be suitable for all types of rigid parquet, but especially for parquet made of panels or strips with tongue and groove assemblies, and allowing a fast and inexpensive installation, in particular by eliminating the setting of the joists, obtaining an elastic and silent parquet thanks to a support which absorbs steps and shocks, absorbs possible movements of expansion and withdrawal of the parquet and does not generate extraneous noise.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un procédé du genre indiqué en préambule, caractérisé en ce que l'on utilise des bandes souples préfabriquées en matière élastique en guise d'éléments intermédiaires, en ce que l'on pose les bandes souples sur la surface de base dans des positions parallèles et séparées par des intervalles en les collant simultanément à la surface de base, et en ce que l'on pose ensuite chaque élément rigide du parquet en le joignant aux éléments rigides déjà posés et en le collant simultanément sur au moins deux desdites bandes souples.To this end, the invention relates to a process of the kind indicated in the preamble, characterized in that flexible prefabricated strips of elastic material are used as intermediate elements, in that the flexible strips are placed on the base surface in parallel positions and separated by intervals by gluing them simultaneously to the base surface, and which is then applied to each rigid element of the parquet by joining it to the rigid elements already laid and by gluing it simultaneously on at least two of said flexible strips.

De préférence, lesdits intervalles ont une largeur plus grande que la largeur des bandes souples. Dans le cas où lesdits éléments rigides sont rectangulaires, il est préférable de poser les bandes souples dans une direction oblique, par exemple à 45°, par rapport aux éléments rigides. Il est également envisageable de poser lesdites bandes souples dans une direction perpendiculaire à celle de la longueur desdits éléments rigides.Preferably, said intervals have a width greater than the width of the flexible strips. In the case where said rigid elements are rectangular, it is preferable to lay the flexible strips in an oblique direction, for example at 45 °, relative to the rigid elements. It is also conceivable to place said flexible strips in a direction perpendicular to that of the length of said rigid elements.

Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse, la face inférieure de chaque bande souple comporte une couche adhésive et l'on applique une colle à élasticité permanente sur cette couche adhésive et sur la surface de base lors de la pose de la bande. En outre, la face supérieure de chaque bande souple peut comporter une couche adhésive et l'on applique une colle à élasticité permanente sur cette couche adhésive lors de la pose des éléments rigides du parquet.In an advantageous embodiment, the underside of each flexible strip has an adhesive layer and an adhesive with permanent elasticity is applied to this adhesive layer and to the base surface during the laying of the strip. In addition, the upper face of each flexible strip may have an adhesive layer and an adhesive with permanent elasticity is applied to this adhesive layer when laying the rigid elements of the parquet.

Dans le cas où les éléments rigides du parquet sont pourvus d'assemblages mutuels à rainure et languette, on peut encoller lesdits assemblages lors de la pose des éléments rigides.In the case where the rigid elements of the parquet floor are provided with mutual tongue and groove assemblies, said assemblies can be glued during the laying of the rigid elements.

Pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé défini ci-dessus, l'invention concerne aussi une bande préfabriquée caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte une bande souple profilée en matière élastique.For the implementation of the process defined above, the invention also relates to a prefabricated strip characterized in that it comprises a flexible strip profiled in elastic material.

Cette bande souple peut être constituée d'un élastomère compact.This flexible strip can consist of a compact elastomer.

Dans une forme préférée, cette bande souple se compose de particules de caoutchouc agglomérées au moyen d'un liant élastomère. Les particules de caoutchouc peuvent avantageusement comprendre des morceaux de pneumatiques de véhicules fractionnés, offrant ainsi une possibilité de recyclage de déchets dont l'élimination pose actuellement des problèmes.In a preferred form, this flexible strip consists of rubber particles agglomerated by means of an elastomeric binder. The rubber particles can advantageously comprise pieces of fractionated vehicle tires, thus offering the possibility of recycling waste, including disposal is currently problematic.

Au moins l'une des faces de la bande souple peut comporter une couche adhésive recouverte d'une feuille protectrice à enlever lors de la pose. De préférence, les deux faces de la bande souple sont pourvues d'une couche adhésive.At least one of the faces of the flexible strip may include an adhesive layer covered with a protective sheet to be removed during installation. Preferably, the two faces of the flexible strip are provided with an adhesive layer.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront dans la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en référence au dessin annexé, dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe transversale d'une bande souple préfabriquée utilisée dans le procédé selon l'invention, et
  • la figure 2 est une vue partielle en perspective illustrant schématiquement la pose d'un parquet au moyen de bandes souples du type représenté à la figure 1.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear in the following description of an exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended drawing, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a prefabricated flexible strip used in the method according to the invention, and
  • FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view schematically illustrating the laying of a parquet floor by means of flexible strips of the type shown in FIG. 1.

Dans la réalisation représentée à la figure 1, la bande souple préfabriquée 1 a une section transversale uniforme rectangulaire, ayant par exemple une épaisseur d'environ 10 mm et une largeur d'environ 50 mm. Cette bande est faite d'une matière élastique caoutchouteuse présentant une certaine compressibilité qui lui permet d'absorber les petites inégalités de la surface sur laquelle elle sera posée. Une telle bande peut être constituée simplement d' un élastomère compact, ou réalisée avantageusement à base de particules de caoutchouc durci de récupération, notamment des morceaux de pneumatiques fractionnés, ces particules étant agglomérées au moyen d'un polymère tel qu'un polyuréthanne. La face inférieure de la bande est revêtue d'une couche adhésive 2 recouverte d'une feuille protectrice 3, par exemple en papier parcheminé. De même, la face supérieure de la bande est revêtue d'une couche adhésive 4 recouverte d'une feuille protectrice 5. Les couches adhésives 2 et 4 sont de préférence constituées par une couche de colle dite "permanente" telle que décrite ci-après. Cette bande 1 peut être livrée en rouleau et, dans ce cas, il peut aussi être prévu une seule feuille protectrice disposée entre les couches adhésives des spires successives. On peut facilement couper une telle bande à la longueur voulue au moyen d'un instrument tranchant.In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the prefabricated flexible strip 1 has a uniform rectangular cross section, for example having a thickness of about 10 mm and a width of about 50 mm. This strip is made of a rubbery elastic material having a certain compressibility which allows it to absorb small unevenness of the surface on which it will be placed. Such a strip may simply consist of a compact elastomer, or advantageously made from particles of hardened reclaimed rubber, in particular pieces of fractionated tires, these particles being agglomerated by means of a polymer such as a polyurethane. The underside of the strip is coated with an adhesive layer 2 covered with a protective sheet 3, for example in parchment paper. Likewise, the upper face of the strip is coated with an adhesive layer 4 covered with a protective sheet 5. The adhesive layers 2 and 4 are preferably formed by a layer of so-called "permanent" glue as described below. . This band 1 can be delivered in roll and, in this case, a single protective sheet can also be provided placed between the adhesive layers of the successive turns. One can easily cut such a strip to the desired length by means of a cutting instrument.

Dans la figure 2, le parquet représenté partiellement comporte différents éléments rigides rectangulaires 10 et 11, dont les bords sont pourvus de rainures 12 et de languettes 13 pour leur assemblage. Les éléments 10 et 11 peuvent être de n'importe quel type usuel, par exemple en bois massif, en contreplaqué, en aggloméré revêtu de bois, en laminé, etc. Ces éléments pourraient aussi avoir des formes non rectangulaires, par exemple en parallélogramme pour former un parquet à chevrons. Le parquet ainsi formé repose sur une série de bandes souples 1 qui sont de préférence parallèles les unes aux autres et qui reposent sur une surface de base horizontale 15, par exemple une chape au mortier de ciment. Les bandes 1 peuvent être disposées dans une direction perpendiculaire ou oblique, approximativement à 45°, par rapport à l'orientation des éléments 10 et 11 et sont séparées par des intervalles 16 dont la largeur peut être choisie librement, notamment en fonction de la taille et de la rigidité des éléments 10 et 11 du parquet. De préférence, cette largeur est légèrement supérieure à la largeur des bandes 1, pour des raisons d'économie. En outre, les intervalles 16 peuvent recevoir différentes installations, en particulier des câbles électriques plats 17 pour lesquels on peut ménager des passages 18 à travers les bandes 1 en découpant un petit tronçon dans chaque bande.In FIG. 2, the parquet partially represented comprises various rigid rectangular elements 10 and 11, the edges of which are provided with grooves 12 and tongues 13 for their assembly. The elements 10 and 11 can be of any usual type, for example solid wood, plywood, chipboard covered with wood, laminate, etc. These elements could also have non-rectangular shapes, for example in a parallelogram to form a herringbone parquet. The parquet thus formed rests on a series of flexible strips 1 which are preferably parallel to one another and which rest on a horizontal base surface 15, for example a screed with cement mortar. The strips 1 can be arranged in a direction perpendicular or oblique, approximately at 45 °, relative to the orientation of the elements 10 and 11 and are separated by intervals 16 whose width can be freely chosen, in particular according to the size and the rigidity of elements 10 and 11 of the parquet. Preferably, this width is slightly greater than the width of the strips 1, for reasons of economy. In addition, the intervals 16 can receive different installations, in particular flat electric cables 17 for which passages 18 can be made through the strips 1 by cutting a small section in each strip.

La pose d'un tel parquet s'effectue de la manière suivante. Pour déterminer la position des bandes 1, on marque la surface de base 15 au moyen d'une ficelle enduite de poudre. On enduit alors de colle chaque zone marquée, sur une largeur légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la bande 1. Cette enduction de colle n' est pas indispensable avec les bandes 1 revêtues d'adhésif, mais elle assure une meilleure prise de la colle sur le sol qui est généralement poussiéreux. La colle ainsi appliquée peut être plus ou moins diluée en fonction de la porosité de la surface 15. La colle utilisée est une colle dite "permanente" ou "à élasticité permanente", qui ne sèche pas, donc qui ne durcit pas et n' entrave pas la souplesse de la bande. Cette colle est connue sous la dénomination "colle à dispersion de latex synthétique à effet permanent", et doit être compatible avec celle utilisée pour le pré-encollage des bandes souples 1.The laying of such parquet is carried out as follows. To determine the position of the strips 1, mark the base surface 15 using a powder-coated string. Each marked area is then coated with adhesive, over a width slightly greater than the width of the strip 1. This coating of adhesive is not essential with the strips 1 coated with adhesive, but it ensures better adhesion of the adhesive to the soil which is usually dusty. The glue thus applied can be more or less diluted depending on the porosity of the surface 15. The glue used is a glue called "permanent" or "with permanent elasticity", which does not dry, therefore which does not harden and does not does not interfere with the flexibility of the band. This glue is known by the name "synthetic latex dispersion glue with permanent effect", and must be compatible with that used for pre-gluing flexible strips 1.

On pose ensuite chaque bande 1 sur la surface 15 en retirant progressivement la feuille de protection 3. Il est également possible d'appliquer encore de la colle fraîche sur la couche adhésive 2 avant de la mettre en contact avec le sol, pour obtenir une meilleure adhérence. On peut couper les bandes 1 à la longueur voulue au fur et à mesure de leur mise en place. C'est aussi à ce stade qu'on peut, le cas échéant, ménager les passages 18 pour les câbles 17.Each strip 1 is then placed on the surface 15, gradually removing the protective sheet 3. It is also possible to still apply fresh glue to the adhesive layer 2 before bringing it into contact with the ground, to obtain better grip. The strips 1 can be cut to the desired length as they are put in place. It is also at this stage that the passages 18 for the cables 17 can, where appropriate, be provided.

Après la pose des câbles 17, s'il y a lieu, la seconde phase du travail consiste à poser les éléments 10 et 11 du parquet sur les bandes 1. On commence par retirer les feuilles protectrices 5 des bandes. Il est recommandé d'enduire aussi de colle "permanente" la couche adhésive supérieure 4 des bandes, d'une part pour faciliter la pose des panneaux ou lames 10, 11 car la couche de colle fraîche autorise un glissement avant leur fixation définitive, et d'autre part pour réactiver la colle de manière à assurer une meilleure adhérence au dos des éléments du parquet. La pose des éléments 10 et 11 s'effectue alors de la manière habituelle, chaque élément étant assemblé aux éléments adjacents par emboîtement des languettes 13 dans les rainures 12, mais on n' utilise pas de clous. Avant la mise en place d'un élément, on dépose un filet de colle de montage dans la rainure correspondante 12 de chaque élément adjacent, pour que cette colle s'étale au moment de l'insertion de la languette dans la rainure. En général, la profondeur de la rainure est supérieure à la largeur de la languette, c'est-à-dire qu'il reste un jeu au fond de la rainure pour permettre, le cas échéant, un mouvement entre les éléments adjacents. Pendant qu'il travaille, le poseur peut se tenir sur la zone du parquet déjà réalisée, car l'appui de chaque élément sur au moins deux bandes garantit une stabilité suffisante.After laying the cables 17, if necessary, the second phase of the work consists in placing the elements 10 and 11 of the parquet on the strips 1. We start by removing the protective sheets 5 from the strips. It is recommended to also coat with "permanent" glue the upper adhesive layer 4 of the strips, on the one hand to facilitate the installation of the panels or blades 10, 11 because the layer of fresh glue allows a sliding before their final fixing, and on the other hand to reactivate the glue so as to ensure better adhesion to the back of the parquet elements. The laying of the elements 10 and 11 is then carried out in the usual way, each element being assembled to the adjacent elements by fitting the tabs 13 into the grooves 12, but nails are not used. Before the installation of an element, a thread of mounting adhesive is deposited in the corresponding groove 12 of each adjacent element, so that this adhesive spreads out when the tongue is inserted into the groove. In general, the depth of the groove is greater than the width of the tongue, that is to say that there is a clearance at the bottom of the groove to allow, if necessary, movement between the adjacent elements. While working, the installer can stand on the area of the parquet already made, because the support of each element on at least two strips guarantees sufficient stability.

Avec le procédé selon l'invention, on peut considérer que les lambourdes traditionnelles en bois sont remplacées par des lambourdes élastiques collées, à savoir les bandes souples 1. Par compression locale, ces bandes peuvent absorber de petites différences de niveau et de planéité. Etant à base de caoutchouc, elles absorbent les bruits et n'en créent pas. Grâce à leur souplesse dans la direction transversale, elles peuvent se déformer par cisaillement sous l'effet des mouvements du parquet dans son propre plan, tout en restant collées au sol et au parquet et ne produisent pas de bruit. Par ailleurs, les bandes 1 sont plus faciles à couper ou à entailler que les lambourdes en bois, notamment pour l'installation des câbles électriques.With the method according to the invention, it can be considered that the traditional wooden joists are replaced by elastic glued joists, namely the flexible strips 1. By local compression, these strips can absorb small differences in level and flatness. Being rubber-based, they absorb noise and do not create it. Thanks to their flexibility in the transverse direction, they can deform by shearing under the effect of the movements of the parquet in its own plane, while remaining stuck to the ground and the parquet and do not produce noise. Furthermore, the strips 1 are easier to cut or notch than the wooden joists, in particular for the installation of electric cables.

La description qui précède montre que le procédé selon l'invention présente des avantages considérables par rapport aux procédés de l'art antérieur :

  • pose facile rapide, donc réduction importante (presque de moitié) de la durée de travail et donc du prix de revient par mètre carré;
  • suppression du calage des lambourdes et du clouage des éléments du parquet;
  • obtention d'un parquet à support élastique, amortissant les pas et les chocs, donc offrant un excellent confort aux utilisateurs;
  • absorption des mouvements horizontaux du parquet, donc élimination des risques de fissuration;
  • absorption phonique;
  • parquet silencieux, n'engendrant pas de bruits parasites;
  • possibilité de poser des câbles électriques extra-plats dans toutes les directions;
  • ventilation régulière du parquet;
  • utilisation de matériaux recyclés dans les bandes souples.
The foregoing description shows that the process according to the invention has considerable advantages over the processes of the prior art:
  • quick easy installation, therefore significant reduction (almost in half) of the working time and therefore of the cost price per square meter;
  • elimination of wedging of joists and nailing of parquet elements;
  • obtaining a parquet with elastic support, absorbing steps and shocks, thus offering excellent comfort to users;
  • absorption of horizontal movements of the parquet, thus eliminating the risks of cracking;
  • sound absorption;
  • silent parquet, not generating unwanted noise;
  • possibility of laying extra-flat electrical cables in all directions;
  • regular ventilation of the parquet;
  • use of recycled materials in flexible tapes.

La souplesse du parquet, obtenue par le procédé décrit ci-dessus, offre un très grand avantage, notamment pour les parquets des salles de sport. Cette souplesse peut être choisie et réglée, selon l'utilisation du parquet, en faisant varier l' épaisseur, la largeur et l'espacement desdites bandes souples.The flexibility of the parquet, obtained by the process described above, offers a very great advantage, in particular for parquet floors in sports halls. This flexibility can be chosen and adjusted, depending on the use of the parquet, by varying the thickness, width and spacing of said flexible strips.

La présente invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation décrit ci-dessus, mais s' étend à toute modification ou variante évidente pour un homme du métier. Par exemple, les bandes 1 décrites ci-dessus pourraient être remplacées par des bandes beaucoup plus larges et ajourées, à la manière d'un treillis, ou par des séries de bandes parallèles disposées longitudinalement, obliquement ou transversalement sur des feuilles de support. Ceci permettrait d'éviter une grande partie du marquage préalable.The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but extends to any modification or variant obvious to a person skilled in the art. For example, the strips 1 described above could be replaced by much wider and perforated strips, in the manner of a trellis, or by a series of parallel strips arranged longitudinally, obliquely or transversely on support sheets. This would avoid much of the prior marking.
