Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support tile for a tiled terrace, which support tile comprises a body with a rectangular base surface, a top surface parallel to the base surface and a peripheral wall extending along the circumference of the base surface and between the base surface and the top surface.
  • Support tiles are used to support a finishing layer of for example terrace tiles onto a base layer, such as a sand bed.
  • a base layer such as a sand bed.
  • FR 2691734 shows such support tiles, which are provided with separate feet. The feet are provided with protrusions at the top, such that the support tiles, can interlock with the feet and with the adjacent support tiles.
  • a disadvantage of this known tile support is that it is not well suited to accommodate for any changes in dimensions due to heat expansion, as the support tiles are all interlocked with each other.
  • these known support tiles are only suitable for loose laying tiles. There is a gap between adjacent support tiles, such that any masonry joint material will flow through these gaps beneath the support tiles. It will therefore be impossible to provide a masonry joint between the terrace tiles arranged on the support tiles.
  • a support tile according to the preamble which is characterized by support flanges extending from the peripheral wall and extending parallel to the top surface, wherein the support flanges are arranged at either of two different distances from the top surface, such that the support flanges of adjacent support tiles can slide interlocking in a direction parallel to the top surface and provide a support in a direction perpendicular to the top surface.
  • the support flanges ensure that the support tiles can be interlocked for forces directed perpendicular to the top surface. This allows for the support tiles to take up the loads exerted on the terrace tiles, which are arranged on the support tiles.
  • the support flanges on the other hand allow for changes in dimensions due to heat expansion. If the support tiles would increase in length and width due to heat, such as the sun, the support flanges of adjacent support tiles will slide over each other compensating for the expansion.
  • the support flanges also provide a barrier in vertical direction between the support tiles, such that when masonry joint material is arranged between terrace tiles supported by the support tiles, the masonry joint material will be prevented from flowing past the support flanges. This allows for providing a terrace with a support tile layer, which has the appearance of a terrace provided directly on a base layer.
  • the flange nearest to the top surface has a bottom support surface, wherein the flange furthest from the top surface has a top support surface and wherein the top support surface and the bottom support surface extend in the same plane parallel to the top surface.
  • top support surface of the lower flanges in the same plane as the bottom support surface of the higher flanges, it is ensured that the support tiles, when arranged interlockingly next to each other will be fully locked in the direction perpendicular to the top surface. This ensures that the support tiles will not shift relative to each other when the terrace, supported by the support tiles, is loaded.
  • strengthening ribs are provided on the peripheral wall extending perpendicular from the support flanges and wherein recesses are provided in the flanges for accommodating strengthening ribs of adjacent support tiles, when the support tiles are in interlocking position.
  • the strengthening ribs ensure that the support tiles can withstand a higher load, without shifting in a direction perpendicular to the top surface.
  • the top surface comprises at least one recess and wherein the support tile comprises a spacer element arranged in the at least one recess, wherein the spacer element is provided with at least one rib extending perpendicular to the top surface to space apart two tiles supported by the support tile.
  • the spacer element provides a spacing between adjacent terrace tiles when supported by the support tiles.
  • the spacer element also ensures that the terrace tiles cannot displace relative to the support tiles, as the spacer element provides a boundary for the terrace tiles.
  • a number of recesses is provided in the top surface at a fixed pitch in both length and width direction.
  • a ceramic tile such as typically used for terraces, has typically a length and width dimension being a multiple of 15 centimeters.
  • the spacer elements can always be positioned on position on the support tile, corresponding with the dimensions of the used ceramic tiles.
  • the size of the support tiles no longer needs to correspond with the size of the used tiles.
  • the spacer element comprises a center part, spoke parts extending radially from the center part and a rim part connecting the free ends of the spoke parts, wherein the at least one rib is arranged on the rim part.
  • the wheel-like construction of the spacer element allows for an easy positioning of the spacer element in the recess. It also allows for a relative large structure, with a minimal amount of plastic material, while being able to position the ribs on the rim part as far as possible.
  • At least one rib is arranged on the rim part between two adjacent spoke parts. This allows for some deformation of the rim part, due to forces on the rib, without these forces directly being transferred to the support tile, which could cause deformation or even damage of the support tiles.
  • straight channels are arranged in the top surface, which straight channels connect the recesses in the top surface.
  • the straight channels allow for additional height of a masonry joint between tiles, but also allows for a non-releasing cross-section of a resulting joint.
  • the invention also relates to a combination of:
  • the ceramic tiles are arranged abutting the ribs of the spacer elements.
  • Another preferred embodiment of the combination according to the invention, in which support tiles having straight channels are used comprises masonry joints arranged between adjacent ceramic tiles, wherein the masonry joints extend into the straight channels and preferably extend under the ceramic tiles to provide a masonry joint with a non-releasing cross-section.
  • a pressure sensor in the support tiles can detect when the tiles are walked on, for example by an intruder. This allows for an alarm system to be triggered. If a multiple of pressure sensors are arranged in a terrace, then even an exact location can be determined.
  • Each tile can be provided with connector contacts to connect with adjacent tiles and to link the electrical lines to each other. This allows for heating the support tiles and the supported tiles which prevents freezing of the terrace or coverage by snow.
  • Each support tile 2 has a rectangular base surface 4, a top surface 5 parallel to the base surface 4 and a peripheral wall 6 extending along the circumference of the base surface 4 and between the base surface 4 and the top surface 5.
  • support flanges 7, 8 are arranged along the peripheral .
  • the support flanges 7, 8 are alternating positioned at a distance closer to the top surface 5 (support flanges 7) and at a distance further away from the top surface 5 (support flanges 8).
  • Each of the support flanges 7, 8 is provided with strengthening ribs 9.
  • the lower support flanges 8 are provided with recesses 10 for accommodating the strengthening ribs 9 of the higher support flanges 7, when two adjacent support tiles 2 are interlocked (see also figure 2 ).
  • the top surface 5 is furthermore provided with recesses 11, in which a spacer element 12 (see also figure 4 ) can be positioned.
  • Each spacer element 12 has ribs 13 extending perpendicular from the top surface 2 and provide a spacing between the terrace tiles 3.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-section of the embodiment 1 of figure 1 .
  • Two adjacent support tiles 2 are interlocked by the support flanges 7, 8 being slid over each other in horizontal direction. This ensures that in vertical direction, the support flanges 7, 8 can transfer a load onto each other, while the support flanges 7, 8 can still slide freely in horizontal direction to accommodate for any heat expansion.
  • the top surface 5 on which the terrace tiles 3 are supported are provided with a straight channel 14, which is formed in this part by the edges of both support tiles 2.
  • a straight channel 14 which is formed in this part by the edges of both support tiles 2.
  • the straight channel 14 has side grooves 20, which contribute to the non-releasing cross-section and which prevent the joint material 15 to break loose from the support tiles 2.
  • the tiles 3 are provided with a slanting sides 21 and cut-outs 22 which furthermore contribute to a firm attachment of the joint material 15 to the tiles 3 and the support tiles 2.
  • each tile 3 is provided with ridges 23, which are housed in the straight channels 14.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic top view of a combination of support tiles 2.
  • Each support tile 2 is provided with a number of recesses 11 in which a spacer element 12 can be positioned dependent on the size of the terrace tiles used.
  • Each recess 11 is connected with a straight channel 14 allowing for a masonry joint with a non-releasing cross-section to be provided between the terrace tiles.
  • Figure 4 shows an embodiment of a spacer element 12 for the combination 1 according to the invention.
  • the spacer element 12 has a center part 16, spoke parts 17 extending radially from the center part 16 and a rim part 18 connecting the free ends of the spoke parts 17.
  • the rim part 18 can deform slightly, when a force is exerted on a rib 13, without transferring all forces onto the center part 16 and onto the support tile 2.
  • Figure 5 shows a second embodiment 30 of the combination according to the invention, which corresponds largely with the embodiment 1 according to figure 1 .
  • the tiles 31 are supported on support tiles 2.
  • the tiles 31 have sides 32, which diverge in upward direction, such that the joint material 15 provides a lock of the tiles 32 to the support tiles 2, especially when the straight channels 14 are provided with side grooves 20, which lock the masonry joint material 15 to the support tiles 2.
