Definitions

  • the present invention deals with a kit adapted to be assembled on a floor for covering the floor, the kit comprising at least one part adapted for forming a floor covering having a thickness F1 in a direction intended to be perpendicular to the floor when the kit is assembled.
  • a floor for example made of concrete
  • the floor may have little bumps and cavities.
  • the resulting floor covering may have an irregular surface, forming "waves". This creates a risk of a person stumbling when walking on such waves.
  • the resulting floor covering shape is often considered as undesirable and unaesthetic.
  • An aim of the invention is to provide a kit that solves or reduces the problem, while remaining simple to implement, and cost effective.
  • the invention proposes a kit adapted to be assembled on a floor for covering the floor, the kit comprising at least one part adapted for forming a floor covering having a thickness F1 in a direction intended to be perpendicular to the floor when the kit is assembled, in which:
  • the kit comprises one or several of the following features, taken in isolation or any technically feasible combination:
  • kit 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention is described.
  • the kit 1 is adapted for being assembled on a horizontal floor 3 in order to form a floor covering 5 having a thickness E along a vertical direction V.
  • floor covering it is meant one or several elements, in this embodiment several, adapted for covering a floor, at least partly, and advantageously totally.
  • the floor 3 for example defines a cavity 4.
  • the thickness E for example ranges between 8 mm and 42 mm.
  • kit 1 When not assembled, the kit 1 is for example stored in several boxes (not represented).
  • the kit 1 may be assembled on another surface, for example defined by a wall (not shown).
  • the kit 1 comprises a plurality of tiles 7, and a connecting system 11 ( Figure 2 ).
  • the tiles 7 have the same composition, and for example the same shape as shown in Figure 1 , advantageously a rectangular one.
  • the tiles 7 have a length L1 ( Figure 1 ) along a longitudinal direction L perpendicular to the direction V, and a width LL1 along a transversal direction T perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction V.
  • L1 ranges between 250 mm and 2000 mm.
  • LL1 ranges between 80 mm and 1000 mm.
  • Each of the tiles 7 comprises a substrate element 13 extending perpendicularly to the direction V and having a thickness E1, and an upper part 15 arranged, for example fixed, on the substrate element and having a thickness F1 ( Figure 2 ).
  • Each of the parts 15 is advantageously, in itself, a floor covering element which would be adapted for covering a floor without any additional layer.
  • a floor covering element usually comprises a core layer (not represented), one or more decoration layers (not represented), and optionally one or several wear layers (not represented) adapted to increase the durability of the floor covering.
  • Such a floor covering element is usually directly applied on a floor.
  • the parts 15 form a floor covering 17 having the thickness F1 when the kit 1 is assembled.
  • the thickness E1 is for example comprised between 3 mm and 12 mm.
  • the thickness F1 is larger than or equal to 1 mm, so that the parts 15 forming the floor covering 17 must not been mistaken with thin (less than 1 mm) decorative layers that would be unfit to be directly applied on a floor.
  • the thickness F1 is advantageously comprised between 5 mm and 30 mm.
  • Each of the substrate elements 13 for example consist of one layer made of a material having a Young's modulus higher than 300 MPa.
  • Said material advantageously shows a deformation larger than 0.55 mm when subjected to the following flexure test.
  • a sample of the material to be tested is obtained, the sample having a length of 6.0 cm, a width of 1.0 cm and a thickness of 0.6 cm in a vertical direction.
  • a three point flexure machine for example an Instron® dynamometer, is then used. Two points, separated by a horizontal distance of 5.0 cm, support the sample. A vertical pressure force is applied by the third point in the middle of the sample and a progressive deformation of the sample in the vertical direction is obtained by lowering the third point at a constant speed of 0.5 mm/minute.
  • the applied pressure, in N, is recorded versus the progressive deformation, in mm.
  • the applied pressure first increases, then reaches a maximum, and finally decreases.
  • the deformation is the value, in mm, of the progressive deformation when the applied pressure reaches its maximum.
  • the above mentioned Young's modulus can advantageously be determined using the slope of the curve representing the applied pressure versus the progressive deformation, the slope being assessed at the very beginning of the progressive deformation.
  • Each of the substrate elements 13 may comprise polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or fibrocement, preferably at least 20wt%.
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • the substrate elements 13 may have the composition defined in the following table.
  • the parts 15 may be a resilient thermoplastic covering, for example comprising at least 25 wt% of PVC, with the thickness F1 advantageously comprised between 2 mm and 7 mm.
  • the parts 15 may comprise more than 50 wt% of wood, as represented in Figure 2 .
  • the part 15 may be a laminate wood covering or an engineered wood covering (multi-layer parquet).
  • the parts 15 may be a carpet, i.e. a textile floor covering, for which reference is made to the norm EN 1307 of May 2014.
  • the parts 15 may comprise more than 50 wt% of ceramic, with the thickness F1 advantageously comprised between 7 mm and 15 mm.
  • the connecting system 11 is adapted for connecting the substrate elements 13 one to another.
  • the connecting system 11 is adapted to be located in a lower part of the substrate elements 13 when the kit 1 is assembled.
  • the connecting system 11 is preferably located a distance D from the floor 3, D being higher than 1 mm when the kit 1 is assembled.
  • the connecting system 11 is advantageously integral with the substrate elements 13.
  • it comprises hooks and housings (not shown) defined by the substrate elements 13 and adapted to cooperate with each other in a snap-fit manner.
  • the connecting system 11 comprises connecting members (not shown), for example bars, that are not integral with the substrate elements 13, and are adapted to cooperate with the housings defined by the substrate elements 13 in a snap-fit manner.
  • the tiles 7 form a sufficiently planar floor covering 5 despite defects such as the cavity 4 in the floor 3.
  • the kit 1 solves or reduces the problem of levelling a floor having nonplanar defects.
  • kit 100 according to a second embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the kit 100 is analogous to the kit 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • Identical elements bear the same numeral references in the drawings and will not be described again. Only the differences will be described in detail hereafter.
  • the floor covering 17 is not made of separate parts 15 directly arranged on the substrate elements 13.
  • the kit 1 comprises the substrate elements 13, at least one roll 115, and the connecting system 11.
  • the floor covering 17 comprises several parts 117 obtained by unrolling the roll 115, or another roll analogous to the roll 115, along an unfolding direction T1, and by cutting the roll several times.
  • the unfolding direction T1 is parallel to the transversal direction T, and the cuts are made along the longitudinal direction L.
  • the substrate elements 13 still have the length L1 ( Figure 4 ) along the longitudinal direction L, and the width LL1 along the transversal direction T, like the tiles 7 in Figure 1 .
  • the floor covering parts 117 have a length L2 along the transversal direction T, and a width LL2 along the longitudinal direction L.
  • LL2 ranges between 1 m and 5 m.
  • the length L2 may be arbitrarily long, depending on how the roll 115 is unrolled and cut.
  • the parts 117 are for example fixed to the substrate elements 13, advantageously using a glue (not represented).
  • the parts 117 may be a resilient thermoplastic covering, as shown in Figure 3 , for example comprising at least 25 wt% of PVC, with the thickness F1 advantageously comprised between 2 mm and 7 mm.
  • the parts 117 may be a carpet.
  • the kit 100 brings the same advantages as the kit 1 in terms of leveling potential defects of the floor 3.
