Abstract

A cladding tile having a body (1) composed of a synthetic resin and a powdered onyx filler. The tile is moulded with a net (2) embedded in the rear surface to facilitate adherence of the tile to a surface (3). The net is preferably water-absorbent to facilitate use of a water-based cement. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Cladding tile The present invention relates to a cladding tile.
Many attempts have been proposed to eliminate the drawbacks of artificial marble (i.e. marble substitute), but none has led to satisfactory results. The artificial marble produced is at least two centimetres in thickness, so that it is necessary to use a relatively large amount of material in manufacture and a strong adhesive substance such as silicone for sticking on a wall (silicone is very expensive). Consequently, the manufacturing cost of the artificial marble is relatively high.
The inventor of this invention has created an improved marble-like tile which may obviate the abovementioned drawbacks and which may be stuck fast on a wall by simply applying a mixture of cement and inexpensive glue.
A tile made according to the invention may have satisfactory stain resistance, abrasion resistance, impact resistance and flexion resistance and is economic to produce.
Reference is now made to the accompanying drawings wherein: Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly in section, of a tile according to the present invention; and Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the tile adhered to the wall.
Referring now to Figure 1, the tile mainly comprises a body 1 which is made of powdered onyx as a filler and synthetic resin. Embedded in a rear face of the body 1 is a net 2, made of cotton, one face of the net being exposed and forming the rear face of the tile. The net 2 has excellent water absorbing properties, so that the tile is easy to adhere on a wall 3 by means of a water-based cement or glue (e.g., Portland cement).
The tile is made by moulding and can be made into any desired shape or size.
In order to prove the superiority of the tile according to the present invention, the inventor of this invention has carried out the following experiments to make a comparison between the tile and a natural marble.
1 . Stain Resistance: Expose the two surfaces to the staining agent for 16 to 20 hours and then clean the surfaces. The results are: STAINING AGENT THE PRESENT INVENTION NATURAL MARBLE Lipstick No Appreciable Effect Slight Stain Red Wine No Appreciable Effect Slight Stain Ketchup No Appreciable Effect Etch Vinegar No Appreciable Effect Excessive Etch Tea No Appreciable Effect Slight Stain Lemon Juice Very Slight Stain Excessive Stain Milk No Appreciable Effect No Appreciable Effect Food Coloring Very Slight Etch Stained Liquid Shoe Polish Slight Stain No Appreciable Effect Coffee No Appreciable Effect No Appreciable Effect Mercurochome Very Slight Stain Stained Trisodium Phos- No Appreciable Effect No Appreciable phate Effect Acetone White Ring No Appreciable Effect Beet Juice No Appreciable Effect Slight Stain Liquid Deodorant White Ring Etch 2 .Abrasion Resistance: The test was carried out on a convention test machine using a pressure of 5 psi for 3000 cycles. The results are: WEIGHT LOSS OBSERVATION The Present Invention 0.09 Polishing on Surface Natural Marble 0.25 Dulling on Surface 3 . Impact Resistance: Drop a 4-pound rod with 314" radius from various heights until fractured. The results are: IMPACT HEIGHT THE PRESENT INVENTION NATURAL MARBLE 1 inch Very Slight White Mark 1/16" Dia.
Indentation 2 inches Slight White Mark 3/16" Dia.
Indentation 4 inches White Mark 3/16" Dia.
Indentation 8 inches Slight Indentation Fractured 12 inches Slight Indentation 14,36 inches No Fracture after 36' drop 4 . Structural Integrity: Place an increasing load at the center of a 4' x 10" specimen supported on both ends. The results are: TEST MATERIAL THICKNESS ULTIMATE LOAD The Present Invention 3/4" 628 Ibs.
Natural Marble 3/4" 270 Ibs.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE PRESENT INVENTION Flexural Modulus, psi x 105 19.0 Flexural Strength, psi N 5,745 Compressive Strength, psi 13,300 It is emphasized that the improved artificial brick according to the present invention may be made into one having 0.7cm in thickness. Accordingly, it is indubitable that the present invention is a valuable innovation.
Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example only and that numerous changes in the detail and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

Claims (6)

1. A cladding tile comprising a body and a net partially embedded in the body and defining an exposed surface of the tile for adhering the tile to a surface.
2. A cladding tile according to Claim 1, wherein the body is made of resin and onyx powder.
3. A cladding tile according to Claim 1 or 2, wherein the net is made of water-absorbent material.
4. A cladding tile according to 3, wherein the net is made of cotton.
5. A cladding tile according to any preceding claim, wherein the surface of the tile opposite to the net provides a simulated marble effect.
6. A cladding tile substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
