Title: Reusable wall tile and method for manufacturing varnish-resistant reusable wall tile

The present invention relates to a reusable wall tile and method 1 for producing a corresponding: reusable wall tile, which, due to its waterproof quality, is suitable for all areas in and around buildings, including; bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, facade, garden, stairwell, corridor, hall, entrance, living room, bedroom, public room, office, catering, wellness, sports rubute, wiaksbruimie er or covering of furniture/cabinets,

Bathrooms, kitchens, washbasins and similar locations in Zen buildings often have wall coverings, such as wall tiles. Wall tiles are favorable for use in these locations because of the aesthetically sandy appearance of the nipple, whereby the tile generally includes a water-resistant bedding surface. corvoud load cleaning

The installation of tiles is often limited to professional tilers due to the consent. In addition, for preliminary work, professionals are often called upon, such as a plasterer, a painter or a carpenter. However, there is a major shortage of these professionals, which can cause waiting times to increase, resulting in long waiting lists and reduced baggage.

In addition to the staff shortage, the processing of conventional wall tiles is time-consuming as a tile wall can quickly consist of dozens of tiles, which have to be professionally placed one by one. The tiles on the bottom, top and sides are (usually) sawn to size or cut to size, using tile crosses to provide sufficient distance between the tiles. After the wall tiles have been installed, the tile adhesive must dry for at least one day and the tiles should be peeled. to be added for a watertight end result. If the consumer would like to have other wall tiles in the future, this would mean that the existing wall tiles would have to be demolished with coarse weight. This is again a job that takes a lot of time due to the risk that damage the surface during the demolition work of the old tiles. If the surface is damaged, it must also be resolved before new wall tiles can be installed. Specialist tools are also required for the installation and disassembly of vand tiles.

Consumers often change the interior after a number of years depending on the current quality, Finance ronnie ev or living trends. Since sustainability is becoming an increasingly important aspect due to climate change on consumption among consumers, there is a greater need for sustainable options in the field of interior design. 3 Reuse of wall coverings can contribute to a sustainable interior. When reusing products, fewer raw materials are used and there are fewer emissions from production, transport and work traffic of professionals. Conventional wall coverings, such as tiles and wallpaper, are aimed at processing the product once and are therefore absolutely not sustainable. Voomen, Tevons, consumers are sensitive to living trends and are therefore open to new products in the interior that create a different atmospheric experience than conventional wall coverings. Even though there are many designs and colors available in the field of conventional wall coverings, there is something for consumers To date, we have hardly found any wall coverings that are reusable.

The present invention and method have, among other things, the aim of providing a solution to the aforementioned problems. More specifically, the invention has the aim of simplifying the installation of wall tiles. Furthermore, the wall tile is reusable and is therefore more durable than conventional wall tiles,

In a further embodiment of the method for manufacturing a cladding tile, the step of sawing the cladding tile 22 to the desired size can also be included.

For good adhesion of the fastening materials, the surface should preferably be smooth, dust-free and grease-free, and there should be no absorbent bottom edge. inconveniences In the case of the mnar, the end user can choose to insert the mma into the hole. In this case, the end user should not use the heavy-duty fasteners, but use glue and or mounting kit to absorb the imperfections. The consumer can spend a lot of time traveling with this. and save costs in a renovation,

This can be useful, especially in renovations where there is time pressure. However, there is an ISO that can damage the covering tile and/or substrate during removal of the tile. In addition, for bad walls you can also choose to use a wall, so that the mounting hardware can be used, or the cladding tile can also be screwed and/or drilled to attach it to the wall. Hook mountings and/or supports can also be used. as mounting means, but there is 3 more distance between the covering pile and the wall.

The covering tile can be manufactured in any size during the production process, so that the covering tile can be used as a prefabricated wall covering. When installing this method, cutting and/or sawing on Jorstie is no longer necessary, as with conventional wall coverings. However, it is It is important that the measurements are carried out in advance with great care and are preferably carried out by a professional. A prefabricated cladding tile saves a lot of time in the construction sector and can partly alleviate the labor shortage and the associated workload in the construction industry. The prefabricated cladding tile is also very suitable for the do-it-yourselfer. Glue, joint compound and/or specialist tools are no longer necessary and the present method contributes to a safe working environment. About 40% of all do-it-yourself patients who end up in the emergency room with a wound are caused by sawing or cutting.

The present invention can also be manufactured room-high for minimal nest formation. The sides of the cladding tile are finished and smooth in such a way that virtually seamless seams extend along the opposing sides of the cladding tiles.

The finished sides also make the outer contour of the cladding tiles match the color of each cladding tile! extends white over the entire covering tile and covers the sides of the tile. It has been found that if the sides of tiles are laid uncured, a line gap can be seen between the tiles which can detract from the overall appearance of the joined edge tiles. As standard, the sides of the cladding tile have the same color as the epoxy carrier. If desired, other colors are also available on the edges of the cladding tile! can be applied, which contrasts with the color of the front to accentuate the line effect or to achieve a specific design.

For a more complete understanding of the method at hand, inclusion? additional features, features and advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings.

The drawings are not drawn to scale and includes various embodiments and details, which may be enlarged for clarity, The reference numbers

I to 7 together form the cladding tile, whereby the entire cladding tile is marked with the reference number 8. In images 1 and 2, cladding tile 8 is not drawn, but it is described in the descriptions.

Image 1 is an enlarged side view of the cladding tile 8, where the finishing weld is applied for a protected end or waterproof and/or UV protected fimetis for the decoration materials 2, opoxy layer 3, design layer 4 and objects 5. By applying the finishing layer 1, a There is a glossy layer over the cladding tile, but depending on the type and decorative materials used, it is also possible not to apply a finishing layer if there is room for matte and/or natural resistance to water or a water-resistant and/or whether removable quality is not necessary in the room in question. The decoration materials 2 are smaller in size than the objects used § and complement the design and/or seam formation for the present method. The decoration materials 2 could include both non-natural and natural materials, such as sand, gravel, stone, cork, wood, metals, plastic, glitter materials, and color pigment. The decorative sterilants 2 can be incorporated completely and/or partially into the epoxy layer 3. DH is highly dependent on the design and/or thickness of the epoxy weld 3 or type of decorating materials 2 used in the present method. The epory layer 3 can have various colors and thicknesses, whereby a design can be formed with several Jagen and/or colors of spoxy. If desired, UV protection can be added to the epoxy, whereby the present method can be used in, for example, a loft space and/or sunny living spaces. The epoxy layer 3 forms the ballast surface of the tile flooring and functions as a carrier for the decorative materials 2 and objects 5, whereby the decoration materials 2 and of objects 5 are at least applied in and/or on the carrier. The opoxy layer 3 has a waterproof property and is for this reason very suitable for national spaces, such as the kitchen, bathroom and behind the bar, for example. A design layer 4 can be added to embellish the covering tile # zw or to camouflage the seam formation between several tiles. The design tile 4 can be glued to the panel over or painted and or $ drawn or sanded and/ or a design can be applied by using a puddling technique. of the objects 5, decerstiemsterilen Z on' or color pigment which are processed in or on the epoxy layer 3, The objects 3 on the covering tile! are the best part of the present method and generally form the basis of the slike collection. The finishing layer 1, decor materials 2, color epoxy layer 3 and the finishing layer 4 are all used to complete the objects 1. The objects 5 can be both natural and non-wet products such as sand, stone, bolt, shells, piamen, flowers, furrows, seed eels, stoneware and utensils. The objects can be treated and delivered without handling, whereby decorations can also be applied to the objects on this surface and/or or glitter spheres and/or a zen finishing layer or glued deccrafiem spheres.

It panes! © forms the lower part of the 13 covering layer &, whereby the spray saw 3 was processed over the panel by means of casting.

The panel can be sawn to any desired size during the production process, making the present method also usable as prefabricated wall cladding.

The panel 6 is essentially flat to adapt to the turning surface. The bottom of the panel 6 forms the rear surface of the tile tile and can be borrowed uncoloured. The upper fastening means 7 can be attached to the rear surface of the panel and the fastening means 7 are glued spf or provided with a self-adhesive layer that adheres to the panel 6. The fastening means 7 of the covering gel 8 can be of the adhesive or continuous type and is preferably made of Velcro tape and/or double-sided tape and/or adhesive and/ or magnet, Prior to the installation of the cladding tile B, the installer removes the removable protective shield of the fastener 7 to expose the self-adhesive medium and the cladding tongue 8 is then pressed against the wall. Hook fastenings and/or support can also be used as fastening means 7, but there is more distance between the covering! 8 and the wall. In addition, these top mounting means 7 are also more sophisticated than the above-mentioned mounting brackets. 7. In the case of supports and/or hook fixings, the installer must install part of them on the wall in advance. The supports and or hook fixings on the wall must be mounted at an even height. to be used as it is on the cladding tile S for optimal adhesion. The installer must measure and mark the exact height and/or width of the hask attachments on/or bricks and/or

& apply a template for this, Grip the rails and/or hook attachments for adhesion between the covering rod § and the wound, The covering rod 8 is held away from the wall by the thickness of the mounting bracket parts 7, see Figs. 1 and 2. The ends of the fasteners are positioned slightly inwards at the outer edge of the perimeter 3 and are therefore not visible after the cladding tiles § have been installed. With the fasteners 7, the installed cladding tiles can be easily removed from the wall for cleaning, replacement or redecoration for a new interior. The cladding tiles 8 can therefore be used permanently in any interior thanks to the fastening means 7. In some cases the fastening means 7 are not usable and the covering tile 8 must be glued and/or screwed and! or mounted in some other way. This depends, among other things, on the adhesion and/or irregularities of the surface, desired processing and/or end result on! or the required pressing force. For example, ceiling mounting requires more pressing force than mounting on the wall or on the floor. Figure 2 shows a three-dimensional view of the covering tile 8 to clarify the present method, where the text of Figure 1 can be applied.

Images 3 through 6 show various embodiments of the present method on one wall. The other walls can be covered with covering tiles 8 and/or a conventional wall covering (not shown). Other embodiments than images 3 to 6 with different arrangements, shapes and designs are also possible and can be designed and/or manufactured according to your own preferences. It is not necessary that all tiles have the same shape and tiles with different shapes and sizes can be mixed as desired. Curved or irregular contours are also possible, but a square contour will appeal most to the imagination with this wall covering. The cladding tiles generally cover the square bottom line of the window and include the same colors to form a uni design and may include multiple colors to achieve a specific design.

When using multiple colors of epoxy, there are also options to apply various layers, so that depth can be created in the design or the design has a playful character. Each cladding tile 8 is essentially four-fold and can be made in any desired manner during the 36 production process: maa! can be sawn or cut, which means that the present method can also be used as a prefabricated wall cladding. The floor-to-ceiling cladding tiles § are arranged next to each other, with each tile preferably abutting adjacent tiles without substantial gaps between tiles. Sides 9 extend between the faces of the perimeter of the tile. The sides of the tile are smoothly finished to form close-fitting, virtually gap-free connections with the adjacent sides of adjacent tiles. For a waterproof end result, for example in the bathroom, the adjacent sides of adjacent tiles are preferably provided with gen toansparants Sealant layer, before they are mounted together almost seamlessly. The excess kif on the belding tile § must be removed almost immediately. On the sides 9 where the cladding tile 8 borders the ceiling and/or wall and/or floor, it is recommended to create a gap of 2 8 3 mm with tile spacers, so that there is enough space. In the future, carefully remove the cladding tile 8 with hand tools. remove for reuse.

The use of an Allen key in combination with a long and/or flat screwdriver could be an option. The side edges of the wall equipped with cladding tiles can be finished with a matching color acrylic sealant or silicone sealant on/or foam rubber/foam tape. .

Figure 3 shows a conical design on a wall with 3 full-height cladding tiles 13 with a uni design. The cladding tiles § cover a generally square outline of the maar and are colored bezelide to form that area.

Image 4 shows an embodiment on a wall with 3 floor-to-ceiling cladding tiles with a strip-shaped design. A stripe-shaped design can camouflage the seams through its vertical and/or horizontal stripes, creating a sufficiently seamless connection between multiple cladding tiles 8. In the embodiment, the sivespy-shaped design is formed by the objects § and the decoration materials 2. A design can also be formed by painting, drawing, pasting, grinding or using various layers of epoxy and/or colored epoxy and/or color pigments on the canvas and/or epoxy resin,

Figure 3 shows an embodiment with a multiple of cladding tiles § which have the same dimensions. This embodiment can consist of individual fence tiles 8 and cladding tiles 8 in a larger and/or floor-to-ceiling format, whereby the cladding tile 8 shows a tile design with a plurality of tiles. The present method can be used. with a kamorheog format the most are straight as the floor-to-ceiling cladding tiles. 5 saves a lot of time for the installer. The seams and cladding tiles 8 can be processed into the shown joint of the tile design, so that the seams are 'camouflaged' for a smooth end result. The individual cladding tiles & most closely resemble a conventional tiled wall and can also be processed as appropriate if desired. with grout and glue,

The cladding tiles 8 can also be mounted by drilling and screwing. However, it will be obvious to mount the tiles with the fastening means that apply to this present method.

Image ò shows an embodiment with a multitude of cladding tiles 8 which have different dimensions. By showing different finishes, this 3rd embodiment has a more playful character than the embodiment of image 5. The only deviations from this white lining form compared to image 3 are solely the dimensions of the cladding tiles B. Apart from the dimensions, the description given in Figure 3 can therefore be applied to the treatment £,

Although I have illustrated and described various embodiments of my present method by way of example, it is clear that several implementations are possible. For this reason I do not wish to limit myself to the precise details set out, but rather make use of such changes on adjustments that fall within the scope of my claims,
