Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ceramic tile and more particularly to a porcelain stoneware tile having a glazed body (tile body).
  • Stoneware belongs to the dense silicate ceramic materials and has been known for centuries. It is characterized in that it has a water absorption capacity of less than 2 o wt .-%. Porcelain stoneware is a modern development of this material, from which mostly tiles with very low water absorption (less than 0.5 wt .-% or even less than 0.1 wt .-%) are produced. This very low water absorption makes porcelain stoneware extremely frost resistant. In addition, it has a very good abrasion resistance and high breaking strength, since it is a completely sintered through and very compact material.
  • the tile body has consistently the color o resulting from the base material and the addition of pigments in the shards, which are either uniformly or granulated (locally accumulated) distributed therein.
  • the appearance of the tile body can be adapted to the different natural stones.
  • press- and fire-related pore spaces are sanded and opened, in which then easily dirt can settle.
  • the surfaces are impregnated (eg silane, siloxane, polymer mixtures).
  • porcelain stoneware tiles can only be produced in formats of up to 90 x 120 cm and have thicknesses of less than 10 mm. They require when using as facade cladding relatively complex support and suspension structures for surface stabilization, which can be omitted in the paneling with large comparatively strong (from about 3 cm) natural stone slabs. Thus, despite their weight and cost disadvantages, natural stone panels are often preferred over porcelain stoneware tiles.
  • Depth effect (optical-prismatic effect), which is due to the fact that incident light is hardly scattered in such a glaze surface with a Refleerreterwert between 65 and 90 (at a measuring angle of 20 °), but almost undisturbed by the transparent Layer falls on the visible surface of the cullet, where it is reflected and scattered and passed back through the transparent glaze layer.
  • refraction effects occur, which bring about an optical depth effect, which works out the color and surface structure of the shard. If necessary, this effect can be influenced and controlled by transparent coloring of the glaze and by further surface treatment of the glaze surface.
  • the optical and prismatic effect can be further enhanced with the execution of the surface according to claim 2.
  • the glaze surface may further comprise at least portions according to claim 3, e.g. are processed mechanically, chemically or electrochemically. These may be in particular mechanical grinding or polishing operations, in which the natural glaze surface is further leveled, leveled and / or smoothed. Such treatments are suitable for improving the aspect properties of the visible tile surface on the decorative side.
  • the natural waviness of the glaze surface which may form during the formation and solidification of the glaze layer, is thus completely leveled or at least partially reduced.
  • the glaze layer is removed only so far that the shards or the decorative surface is not exposed.
  • Surface structures according to claim 4 and in particular according to claim 5 thereby ensure a completely blank surface to the naked eye and enhance the desired optical and prismatic properties.
  • the further developments according to claims 6 and 7 relate to features which make the ceramic product according to the invention a suitable and advantageous facade element, in which, on the one hand, a thickness exceeding 5 to 30 mm is provided (claim 6) and the dimensions are extended to surface dimensions of up to 1200 x 2400 mm (claim 7).
  • This dimensioning allows large-scale stable facade elements, which have sufficient intrinsic stability and can be hung without overly complex support structures, but nevertheless have weight advantages of more than 65% compared to natural stone slabs. Especially with tall buildings so the entire facade and / or even the building statics can be favorably influenced.
  • the developments according to the claims 8 and 9 relate to features that further increase the design variety.
  • a special decorative layer between the glaze layer and the broken pieces allows a virtually unlimited design variety of the decor side.
  • the decors can be applied in a wide variety of colors, patterns and representations, which are covered, protected and deep-set by the glaze layer. In this case, color decorative effects and relief effects can optionally be combined with each other according to claim 7.
  • Claim 10 relates to a ceramic product in which the glaze layer is formed from a glaze raw material.
  • glaze raw materials can be different transparent and / or colored glasses glass frits or glaze raw material components or even those with certain other defined properties (eg refraction, chemical resistance) which then alternatively or in addition to conventional glaze raw materials (in the form of slip, grits) on the ceramic fragments are applied and melted.
  • these glaze raw materials can be arranged in areas or layers with different properties.
  • the surface layer may be formed of a glaze raw material (for example glass frits) which results in a glaze layer of defined (e.g., very high) refractive power, while an underlying layer may be particularly colored.
  • a glaze raw material for example glass frits
  • an underlying layer may be particularly colored.
  • special color and / or surface effects can be achieved by matching the glaze or glaze raw material areas to a particular, underlying pattern or structure or even form a superimposed pattern.
  • Claim 12 relates to a tile arrangement with porcelain stoneware tiles, which are suitable for floor, ceiling, wall, facade and / or roof arrangements (panels, tiled surfaces, raised floors, etc.).
  • the claims 13 to 15 relate to methods for producing the ceramic tile according to the invention.
  • the basic method according to claim 13 comprises the steps Providing a vitrified ceramic mass as starting material for the cullet,
  • Claims 14 and 15 relate to process steps which further optimize the application of the glaze raw material, in which, according to claim 14, alternating glaze suspension and suitable grits or glazes (glaze raw materials and / or glaze raw material components) are applied to apply the requisite glaze raw material layer the desired transparency and surface properties during firing is formed.
