Description

Tile panel, and a surface covering constructed by a multitude of neighbouring tile panels The present invention relates to a tile panel.
The invention further relates to a surface covering, in particular for a floor, ceiling or wall surface, which is constructed by a multitude of neighbouring tile panels.
As an alternative to a traditional method of covering a surface with tiles by applying the surface with a cement layer onto which the tiles are positioned and fixed, it has been proposed in the art to adhere one or more tiles onto a top side of a support panel, and adhere a multitude of such tile panels onto a surface so that a covering of neighbouring tiles can be achieved in a different, and practical way.
After such a surface covering has been constructed from a multitude of neighbouring tile panels, it is common to fill the gaps between neighbouring tiles with grout, so that the impression of a traditionally made tile covering is achieved.
The tile panel comprises a support panel which is essentially flat, and has a top side onto which one or more tile are adhered by an adhesive.
The support panel is made from a different material than the one or more tiles, so that the support panel and the tiles are both well suited to comply with the different requirements that apply to both parts of the tile panel.
The problem encountered when using tile panels in practice, is that the support panel itself has a specific dimensional stability over a given temperature and humidity range, which properties may significantly differ from the corresponding properties of the tile that is adhered onto the support panel.
Obviously, such differences stem from the fact that the support panel is produced from a material which is different than the tile itself.
Consequently, the adhesive which adheres the tile onto the support panel is under a significant strain when the tile panel is exposed to cycles of varying temperature and humidity, such as for instance encountered when it is used in bathrooms, kitchens, patios or (winter) gardens.
As a result of this repetitive strain on the adhesive, the adhesive bond between the tile and the support panel may become impaired and may ultimately fail, so that the tile becomes disconnected from the support panel.
{t is an objective of the invention to reduce or eliminate the risk of disconnection of the tile from the support panel when being exposed to cycles of varying temperature and humidity. The invention according to a first aspect, achieves the above objective by the provision of: a tile panel which comprises a support panel which is essentially flat and has a top side onto which one or more tiles are adhered by an adhesive, wherein the support panel is made from a material which is different than the material from which the one or more tiles are made, and the top side of the support panel comprises a recessed structure in which the adhesive is present.
The recessed structure provides for an enlargement of the effective surface of the top side of support panel onto which the adhesive adheres. Furthermore, the adhesion is effective in various directions than by a merely flat adhesive interface layer between the tile and the support panel. In this way, the recessed structure secures that the adhesive is well anchored onto the support panel, which reduces the risk of disconnection of the adhesive from the support panel, especially when the adhesive is exposed to strain during cycles of varying temperature and humidity.
In general, the dimensional stability of a tile will be relatively high which means that the dimensions of the tile will not alter much during cycles of varying temperature and humidity, whereas the dimensions of the support panel may vary quite significantly. Therefore, it is especially effective to improve the anchoring of the adhesive onto the support panel as proposed by the invention. it is preferred in the tile panel according to the invention that the one or more tiles are made of an essentially mineral material or a mineral composite material.
These materials are most suitable to provide the visual appearance of a traditional tile, and is typically selected from the group consisting of sliceable natural stone, marble, concrete, limestone, granite, slate, glass, and ceramics.
Particular preferred are ceramic materials of a type selected from the group consisting of Monocuttura ceramic, Monoporosa ceramic, porcelain ceramic, or muiti-casted ceramic.
In the tile panel according to the invention, it is further preferred that the one or more tiles have a Mohs hardness greater than 3, and preferably has a breaking modulus greater than 10 N/mm2, more preferably greater than 30 N/mma2.
As such, the tile of the tile panel has similar hardness properties as a traditional tile. it is further preferred in the tile panel according to the invention that the recessed structure comprises pores in the material of the top side of the support panel.
The pores may be present by having a top side of the support panel that is made from porous material, such as a foam, in particular an open cell foam, or the pores may be formed by further (mechanical and/or chemical) treatment of the top side of the support panel. The pores will allow for the adhesive to penetrate into at least the top layer beneath the top surface (of the top side), so that the adhesive is well anchored within the top layer of the support panel. It is typically favourable in case the porosity of the recessed structure, in particular the (open cell) foam, has a gradual progression as seen in the thickness direction. The porosity of the recessed structure preferably increases in the thickness direction, wherein a lower part of the recessed structure, positioned at a distance from the above tile(s), preferably has a relatively low porosity, while an upper part, forming the top surface of the support panel (facing the tile(s)) has a relatively high porosity. Such a gradual change in the porosity, as seen in the thickness direction, has the advantage on the one hand that (liquid) adhesive can flow relatively easily into the (open part) porous, recessed structure and subsequently into the branched channels present in the lower part of the recessed structure , while still maintaining sufficient rigidity in the support panel as such.
Furthermore, it is preferred in the tile panel according to the invention, that the recessed structure comprises a relief structure. The relief structure is generally formed out of recesses and/or projections, which may be formed in different ways. For instance may the recesses and/or projections be of a linear shape, such as grooves and/or dykes present at the top side of the support panel, which may e.g. extend from one side to an opposite side of the support panel, or which may e.g. extend only within a zone of the top side of the support panel to be covered by the one or more tiles. As a variant thereof, the top side of the support panel may have an undulated or corrugated top surface.
Alternatively, the recesses may be formed on the support panel by a distributed pattern of insular structures, such as a multitude of dents in the top side of the support panel. Also, knobs or protuberances may be present on the top side of the support panel which form insulated projections.
Various suitable techniques may be used to form a relief structure on the top side of the support panel according to the invention, which techniques include extrusion, pressing, (3-D) printing, etching, embossing, milling and/or cutting.
Itis further preferred in the tile panel according to the invention, that the top side of the support panel, and preferably the support panel as a whole, is made from an extruded material.
Apart from being an expedient technique for forming an essentially flat support panel, support panels made by extrusion further exhibit a suitable degree of isotropic behaviour which is beneficial in view of the intended functionality of the support panel. it is particularly preferred in the tile panel according to the invention, that at least the top side of the support panel, and preferably the support panel as a whole, is made from water-repellent material.
As such, the support panel as a whole has a relatively low hygroscopic value, which improves the dimensional stability of the support panel when being exposed to cycles of varying temperature and humidity. Consequently, the amount of strain on the adhesive layer of the tile panel during cycles of varying temperature and humidity is reduced.
It is attractive in the tile panel according to the invention, that at least the top side of the support panel, and preferably the support panel as a whole, comprises a composite material of wood fibers and a resin, in particular MDF or HDF composite material.
This material has been proven highly suitable in view of the required properties for the support panel.
A suitable resin is for instance a phenol-formaldehyde resin having a formaldehyde to phenol ratio which is at least 1. Typically, at least a part of the wood fibers have an average length smaller than 5 mm, preferably smaller than 2.5 mm, and more preferably smaller than 1 mm.
It is herein preferred that at least the top side of the support panel, and preferably the support panel as a whole, comprises at least 50 wt.% of the 5 composite material.
The composite material may furthermore comprise wood fibers which are coated by a water repellent coating. The water repellent coating further reduces the hygroscopic behaviour of the wood fibers, and hence of the support panel.
Itis further preferred in the tile panel according to the invention, that at least the top side of the support panel, and preferably the support panel as a whole, comprises an essentially mineral material or a mineral composite material, such as magnesium oxide material or calcium carbonate.
This material has been proven highly suitable in view of the required properties for the support panel.
It is herein preferred that at least the top side of the support panel, and preferably the support panel as a whole, comprises at least 50 wt.% of the essentially mineral material or mineral composite material.
However, other materials, like thermoplastic materials, such as PVC, which may optionally be foamed, may be used to compose the support panel at least partially. The support panel may consist of a single layer or of a plurality of layer. The support panel may comprise at least one reinforcement layer, such as a glass fibre layer.
In an attractive embodiment of the tile panel according to the invention, the side edges of the support panel are provided with coupling profiles, which are made from a resilient material which is preferably water-repellent and which are designed to interlink two neighbouring tile panels with each other.
By virtue of the coupling profiles, a multitude of tile panels can be laid and installed expediently in order to create a surface covering which is correctly laid and forms a stable construction as a whole.
It is in this regard further attractive, when the support panel has linear side edges, and opposing side edges of the support panel are provided with respectively a first and second coupling profile, which are designed to interlink two neighbouring tile panels with each other. The coupling profiles are designed to interlink two neighbouring tile panels with each other, by connecting the side edges of two neighbouring panels to each other. For instance are a first and second coupling profile a respective tongue and groove profile, which allows for interlinking of two panels by a horizontal shifting into each other of the tongue and groove profile.
Alternative, more intricate coupling profiles are also envisaged, such as coupling profiles which interlink by an angling movement of two side edges of neighbouring panels, or even by a vertical ‘drop-down’ movement of one side edge of panel towards the other side edge of a neighbouring panel. These type of coupling profiles have the additional advantage that the side edges once connected, achieve an interlocking of the profiles in horizontal direction.
Typically, the support panel has a rectangular or hexagonal contour. it is preferred in the tile panel according to the invention, that the one or more tiles are positioned within a surface area of the top side of the support panel which surface area is defined by a margin line which runs parallel to the side edges of the support panel. Preferably, each tile is positioned at a margin distance from the side edges. In this manner, a grout line can be formed.
The margin distance is herein defined as the (shortest) distance between the side edge of a tile and margin line of the support panel, perpendicular to the margin line and parallel to a plane defined by the support panel.
Consequently, the one or more tiles are present on the support panel at a distance from the side edge of the support panel, which leaves a gap between interlinked side edges of neighbouring panels. For instance is the margin distance
1.5 mm, so that consequently a 3.0 mm wide gap is created between tiles of neighbouring panels, which gap can be filled with grout. Such a 3.0 mm wide gap is a common dimension for tiles having interspatial grout joints.
When such a margin distance is present in the tile panel according to the invention, it is further preferred that the tile panel comprises multiple tiles adhered onto the top side of the support panel, which tiles are spaced apart by linear interspatial gaps having a constant gap width which is twice the margin distance between a tile and a nearest side edge of the support panel.
As such a uniform size of interspatial gaps for grout is created both on the single tile panel (internal grout line(s)) and between neighbouring tile panels (external grout line(s)).
Further preferred dimensions of the tile panel according to the invention include: - the one or more tiles have a thickness of 2 — 12 mm, preferably 4 — 8 mm, more preferably 4 — 6 mm ; - the support panel has a thickness of 2 - 10 mm, preferably of 2 - 6 mm. According to a second aspect of the invention, a surface covering is provided, in particular for a floor, ceiling or wall surface, which is constructed by a multitude of neighbouring tile panels according to a first aspect of the invention.
The invention will be further elucidated by several examples and with reference to the appended figures, wherein: - Figure 1 is a top view of a tile panel according to a preferred embodiment of the invention; - Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the tile panel of fig. 1; - Figure 3 is a top view of the support panel of the tile panel of fig. 1; - Figure 4 is a top view of a tile panel according to another preferred embodiment of the invention; - Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of a detail of the side edges of two neighbouring panels that are interlinked to each other by a preferred type of coupling profiles; - Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of two neighbouring panels that are interlinked to each other by another preferred type of coupling profiles.
