  • a non-slip paint characterized by a succession of layers, namely a layer of polyethylene as a protective layer, an acrylic layer as a top layer
  • the ultra-light core for example polystyrene or mineral wool, is applied to the two layers with ferromagnetic properties by means of an adhesive layer.
  • the ultra-light core is foam, it is no longer necessary to apply the adhesive.
  • the walls are characterized by an interlocking or "click" type of system placed vertically.
  • the vertical interlocking system is not a system that embeds the two walls, fixing them in place, but it is a system that allows the alignment of the walls in plan but also leaving a space to adjust them in the vertical plane.
  • the ultra-light core is made of foam, polystyrene and mineral wool.
  • the ultra-light core has a thickness of between 30 and 150 mm, preferably between 60-100 mm.
  • the thicknesses were chosen taking into account the lift offered by the thickness of the panel corroborated with the metal structure of resistance.
  • the geometry of the metal structure changes depending on the thickness of the panel, without altering the properties of the wall.
  • the main criterion for which these materials were chosen is that between the two layers with ferromagnetic properties a filling material is needed - a filler - and when choosing this filler, the main advantage is its weight.
  • Other advantages of these materials are: homogeneity, predictability of their behaviour in production, ease of cutting them and so on.
  • the layer with ferromagnetic properties is preferably, but not limited to, a sheet of galvanized sheet, having a thickness between 0.1 mm and 2 mm.
  • the thickness of the galvanized sheet is between 0.1 mm and 0.8 mm, a thickness which may be chosen by the person skilled in the art depending on the desired application.
  • the galvanized sheet varies between 0.18 mm and 0.4 mm with optimal results / performance results on a 0.25 mm sheet.
  • the layer with ferromagnetic properties is covered with a special non-slip paint characterized by a succession of layers, namely a layer of polyethylene as a protective layer, an acrylic layer as a top layer, polyester as a primer layer, chromium as a chemical layer and an inner face coating of the layer with ferromagnetic properties.
  • This special non-slip paint is described in patent application no. EP3429434 .
  • This milling will be performed at an angle of 91 degrees, to create a fold at 90 degrees.
  • the remaining layer with ferromagnetic properties acts as a hinge around which the remaining "wings" of the panel will fold.
  • an "L" section corner will form that will act as a pillar of the structure ( Fig. 12 ).
  • the pillars are placed on the corners giving the strength of a rigid structure, even in the case of unclosed contours. Also, the corners thus obtained are much stronger than those made of 2 pieces, which results in an additional advantage of this modular structure.
  • the walls are delivered cutted from the factory at the required height according to the customer's specifications (generally between 2.2 and 3 meters, the most common being used 2.4-2.5 meters).
  • the preferred section of the vertical wall is 80 mm. There is the possibility of decreasing this section in some cases up to 30 mm, but also increasing it in certain situations, over 150 mm.
  • the increase or decrease of the preferred section of the wall is determined by several factors. First of all, the plane geometry of the assembly must be considered. The more narrow, resistant, it is, the walls are more strongly linked, the more the section of the wall can be reduced. The more it is necessary to support heavy bodies on the wall (in the case of applications for showrooms, for example - toilet bowls, suspended washbasins, etc.), the thicker the panels must be.
  • the present invention provides, a kit for building a modular structure that allows easy attachment of finishing components that comprises:
  • said first system of metal profiles (lower strength structure) is composed of a plurality of interconnectable metal segments having the profile section U, and the planar shape of said section being straight and / or alternately the shape of the letter "L", "H” or "T” or mixted profiles.
  • the shape interconnection is of puzzle type with interlocking type system.
  • the modular structure building kit comprises a base consisting of the plurality of puzzle-shaped plates interconnected with an interlocking system, preferably marked or labeled with a code.
  • a plurality of coplanar plates interconnectable by shape which assembled together form the support layer with ferromagnetic properties that are fixed over the base are engraved with codes, i.e. the position where each plate forming the support layer with ferromagnetic properties must be placed is indicated, in plane, according to a coding resulting from the design.
  • the cutting in plan (the shape) of the plates that form the layer with ferromagnetic properties is with interlocking type system, so that its placement cannot be wrong, and in the end, the contour resulting from the joining of several plates is a dimensionally correct one.
  • said second system of metal profiles are made of a plurality of interconnectable metal segments having the profile section
  • the means for attaching the magnetic backing is an acrylic adhesive applied to a sponge or vinyl or hot-melt adhesive.
  • the acrylic adhesive applied to the sponge support has the closed cell sponge.
  • the backing layer with ferromagnetic properties is a galvanised sheet.
  • Hot melt adhesives are adhesives that are solid at room temperature and become viscous when heated to a certain temperature. Bonding is done by pressing and after cooling to room temperature, in a few seconds, a strong, durable bonding is achieved in an extremely short time.
  • the modular structure is provided for the vertical walls or for the finishing components to be installed (i.e ceramic tiles, parquet, carpet), with the magnetic support glued directly to the cladding material of the vertical walls with a vinyl or hot-melt adhesive.
  • Hot-melt or vinyl adhesives were chosen for cost reasons because acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support is more expensive and its use on walls that are not subjected to mechanical pressure on the floor leads to significant cost reductions.
  • the attachment means is an acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support.
  • the multilayer magnetic support be provided with a means of attachment of spongy adhesive type that will be able to take the pattern from the back of the ceramic tile, thus increasing the contact force between the ceramic tile and the layer with ferromagnetic properties.
  • the multilayer magnetic support with acrylic adhesive applied on a the sponge support gives the following advantage: when you want to change the ceramic / carpet collection due to wear, damage, delisting from the portfolio, this removal / replacement of finishing components takes place quickly.
  • the attachment to the magnetic support removes the disadvantages of the classic gluing (with adhesive of ceramic tiles / parquet / carpet) whose replacement would have led to the appearance of noise, dust and, in general, discomfort for the space in which it is intended.
  • After detaching the finishing elements together with the magnetic support on the walls / floor the integrity of the vertical walls / floor is ensured, which can thus be reused in other configurations or for the exposure of other finishing elements.
  • Another major advantage is that the installation / uninstallation of products using this system takes place at a speed of approx. 10 times higher than in the classic working mode.
  • the role of the sponge is to take over the unevenness behind the finishing elements, especially in the case of ceramic tiles.
  • the relief behind the ceramics is "imprinted" in the sponge, and the finish is uniform and levelled in this way.
  • An additional advantage of using a sponge layer is that it minimises the risk of ceramic tiles breaking. In the absence of the sponge, there is a risk that the ceramic tiles, for example, will break when they are joined only with magnetic foil because their placement would be only on the "ridges" of the relief on the back.
  • the preferred composition of the sponge support is "polyolefin" with a density between 50 and 120 kg / m 3 but polyethylene or polyurethane variants with the same density are also accepted. If the density of the sponge support is less than 50 kg / m 3 , then it is very malleable and will settle very easily. If it is denser than 120 kg / m 3 , then it will be too rigid to penetrate the relief cavities on the back of the ceramic tile and the gluing will be done on the "ridges" of the back of the ceramic tile. In a preferred embodiment, the density is 95 kg / m 3 which provides optimal bonding.
  • the acrylic adhesive applied to the sponge support has the sponge with the cell closed and not with the cell open. It is preferable that the sponge over which the adhesive is applied has a closed cell for the following reasons:

  • the interconnectable plates forming the base of the modular structure are preferably made of, but not limited to, waterproof chipboard.
  • the advantage of using this material is given by the advantageous price, the ease of processing it on machines with high speed numerical control (laser cutting, CNC router cutting etc.), the versatility in terms of preferred thickness for application, durability over time.
  • the thickness of the interconnectable plates that form the basis of the modular structure is between 9 and 40 mm, but can vary depending on several factors. The thickness of the plate is determined by a specialist in the field depending on the stress to which the modular structure will be subjected.
  • a vertical wall that due to the geometry of the assembly does not benefit from supports (which does not close in a shape type "L” or “H” or “T”), will require, when pushed, the base of the modular structure. Thus, it will tend to rise from the floor, considering an inconvenient moment around the support (i.e around the modular structure attached to the base of the structure, the structure in which the panel is mounted).

  • the layer with ferromagnetic properties is preferably, but not limited to, a galvanized metal sheet, having a thickness between 0.1 mm and 2 mm.
  • the thickness of the galvanized metal sheet is between 0.1 mm and 0.8 mm, the thickness which may be chosen by the person skilled in the art depending on the desired application.
  • the thin galvanized metal sheet varies between 0.18 mm and 0.4 mm with optimal results / performance results on a 0.25 mm sheet.
  • the layer with ferromagnetic properties is covered with a special non-slip paint characterized by a succession of layers, namely a layer of polyethylene as a protective layer, an acrylic layer as a top layer, polyester as a primer layer, chromium as a chemical layer and an inner face coating of the layer with ferromagnetic properties: this special non-slip paint is described in patent application no. EP3429434 .
  • Vertical wall that allows easy attachment of finishing components that has a layered structure consisting of an ultra-light core such as foam, polystyrene, mineral wool located between 2 layers with ferromagnetic properties with a thickness ranging from 0.1 mm to 2 mm where at least one layer with ferromagnetic properties is painted on the outside with a non-slip paint characterized by a succession of layers, namely a layer of polyethylene as a protective layer, an acrylic layer as a top layer, polyester as a primer, chrome as a chemical layer and a coating covering the inner face of the layer with ferromagnetic properties.
  • an ultra-light core such as foam, polystyrene, mineral wool located between 2 layers with ferromagnetic properties with a thickness ranging from 0.1 mm to 2 mm where at least one layer with ferromagnetic properties is painted on the outside with a non-slip paint characterized by a succession of layers, namely a layer of polyethylene as a protective layer, an acrylic layer as a top layer,
  • the walls are characterized by an interlocking system or "click" placed vertically.
  • the vertical interlocking system is not a system that embeds the two walls, fixing them, but it is a system that allows the alignment of the panels in the plane but also leaving a space to adjust them in the vertical plane.
  • the vertical wall is inserted on the "channel" formed by the profiles "U”, “L”, “T”, “H” and in these profiles holes are drilled that pierce the layer with ferromagnetic properties of the wall (both on the front and on the back) and the "gluing" of the vertical walls to the profiles is done by inserting suitable fastening means, being preferred, but not limited to, pop-rivets (rivets) that open behind the layer with ferromagnetic properties (sheet) of the vertical wall, in the ultra-light layer, preventing it from coming out.
  • suitable fastening means being preferred, but not limited to, pop-rivets (rivets) that open behind the layer with ferromagnetic properties (sheet) of the vertical wall, in the ultra-light layer, preventing it from coming out.
  • a second system of metal profiles are comprised of a plurality of interconnectable metal segments type U, L, T, H or mixted profiles, depending on the required geometry will describe the outer perimeter of the upper side of the vertical walls and will be mounted at the top of them (upper strength structure).
  • U, L, T, H interconnectable metal segments
  • mixted profiles are mounted at the top of the vertical walls which are also "glued” to the vertical wall by inserting suitable fastening means, being preferred, but not limited to, pop-rivets. These have the same characteristics as those that form the first system of metal profiles (lower strength structure) for the reasons listed above.
  • the profiles at the bottom are offset from the profiles at the top, so that their joints are "woven” to give additional strength to the magnetic modular structure thus obtained.
  • the multilayer magnetic support consists of a magnetic foil (through which it can be fixed to the layer with ferromagnetic properties) and a suitable means of attachment (e.g acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support or vinyl or hot melt adhesive) on which can easily attach the desired finishing components (e.g ceramic, ceramic wall and floor tiles, marble, granite, parquet, linoleum, carpet and other materials suitable for covering surfaces, etc.).
  • a suitable means of attachment e.g acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support or vinyl or hot melt adhesive
  • desired finishing components e.g ceramic, ceramic wall and floor tiles, marble, granite, parquet, linoleum, carpet and other materials suitable for covering surfaces, etc.
  • the magnetic foil has a thickness of between 0.2 and 3 mm, preferably 0.4 mm for an optimal contact force, but its thickness can be chosen by the person skilled in the art, depending on the weight of the plate to be exposed.
  • the attachment of type sponge adhesive has a thickness between 0.2 and 5 mm, preferably 1 mm which has an optimal level of taking up the unevenness of the element which is applied on the multilayer magnetic support.
  • an acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support (especially if the ceramic plate will be mounted on the floor where it is subjected to higher pressure) which will be able to adhere to the embossed pattern on the back of the ceramic tile, thus increasing the contact force between the ceramic tile and the layer with ferromagnetic properties.
  • the role of the acrylic adhesive applied on the sponge support is to take over the unevenness behind the finishing elements, especially in the case of ceramic tiles. Basically, the relief behind the ceramics is "imprinted" in the acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support, and the finishing element is equalised and leveled in this way.
  • the multilayer magnetic support with acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support gives the following advantage: when you want to change the ceramic / carpet collection due to wear, damage, delisting from the portfolio, this change is done quickly, the products being easily detached.
  • the use of magnetic foil removes the disadvantages of the classic gluing of finishing elements (ceramic tiles, parquet, carpet) whose replacement would have led to the appearance of noise, dust and, in general, discomfort for the space in which it is intended.
  • Another major advantage is that the installation / uninstallation of the finishing elements takes place with a speed of approx. 10 times higher than in the classic working mode.
  • the finishing components are placed on the acrylic adhesive applied on the sponge support after removing the liner and fixed in position desired by pressing.
  • the modular structure thus obtained can be decorated with the desired finishing components.
  • the magnetic support is placed over the layer with ferromagnetic properties which is preferred, but not limited to, the galvanized metal sheet painted with the non-slip paint described in patent application no. EP3429434 .
  • the desired finishing components e.g ceramics, parquet, linoleum, carpet and other materials suitable for covering surfaces.
  • the sponge has the role of taking over the unevenness on the back of the finishing tiles, especially in the case of ceramic tiles.
  • the support layer with ferromagnetic properties is placed, which is preferably, but not limited to, the galvanized metal sheet based on the modular structure which is preferably made of, but not limited to, waterproof chipboard, and the sandwich composed of magnetic foil and the corresponding means of attachment selected from the acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support or vinyl or hot melt type adhesives are placed over the support with ferromagnetic properties.
  • the desired finishing components eg. ceramics, parquet, linoleum, carpet and other materials suitable for covering surfaces.
  • the sponge has the role of taking over the unevenness on the back of the finishing tiles, especially in the case of ceramic tiles.
  • the support layer with ferromagnetic properties is placed, which is preferably, but not limited to, the galvanized metal sheet based on the modular structure which is preferably made of, but not limited to, water-repellent, and the sandwich composed of magnetic foil and the corresponding means of attachment selected from the acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support or vinyl or hot melt type adhesives are placed over the support with ferromagnetic properties.
  • the finish (ceramic, parquet, linoleum, etc.) is placed on the acrylic adhesive applied on the sponge support after removing the liner and is fixed in the desired position by pressing.
  • the wall finish begins.
  • plasterboard to MDF with or without interlocking system, up to paneling, ceramics, wallpaper, print, etc.
  • the finish will also be magnetically attached to the vertical walls.
  • the finish will also be magnetically attached to the vertical walls.
  • on the back of the finishing materials will be longitudinally glued strips of magnetic foil, similar to the one used for the floor.
  • the magnetic foil can be glued using acrylic adhesive applied on a sponge support or vinyl or hot melt type adhesives.
  • the vertical walls will be finished with MDF which has an interlocking system (using Unilin's ClicWall technology) which once joined has no joints and can be painted with washable paint which is very advantageous in terms of execution time. Or you can use the same product, but in the melamine or directly printed version. Other suitable materials such as MDF or plasterboard can also be used, which must be putty and then painted, which slightly increases the execution time.
  • the modular structure of the present invention can be made in a plurality of interchangeable configurations according to Fig. 12 , using the same material, which is one of the main advantages of the present application.
  • the invention also provides a method of assembling this magnetic modular structure. This method comprises the following steps:
  • the positions of the metal profiles as well as the position / identification code of the walls are engraved on the base.
  • the present invention also provides in one embodiment the use of the modular structure for partitioning commercial spaces, open-space office spaces and living spaces.
  • the invention provides the use of the magnetic modular structure for showing the ways of decorating the various living spaces, preferably the bathroom, kitchen, hallway.
  • the invention provides the use of the building kit or modular structure for the construction of stands for the display of selected finishing components of sandstone, faience, marble, granite, parquet, carpet, linoleum.
  • the invention provides the use of the building kit or modular structure for easy compartmentalization of a room / household that allows this.
