SI22389A - Adjustable floor panel - Google Patents

Abstract

The adjustable floor panel solves the problem of simple adjusting of heights and inclinations of external floors, preparation of the surface for gluing ceramic tiles and other external floors, fitting to various inclinations of hydro insulation of even roofs, balconies, terraces, thus solving the problem of temperature pressure, draining of rainwater between the panel seams, mechanical protection of the hydro insulation at the contact between the panel legs and hydro insulation, its disassembly while at the same time keeping the construction invisible and compact as well weather-resistant. The upper panel (1) and the bottom (2) are made of plastic. The bottom (2) is laid on hydro insulation, the upper panel (1) is attached via the upper legs (6) onto the lower legs (5). The upper panel can be reinforced by micro reinforced concrete mixture through the openings (4).

ADJUSTABLE FLOOR PANEL

The subject of the invention is an adjustable floor panel, respectively. more precisely, a two-part plastic panel, with which it is possible to easily adjust the height and inclination of the panel as a base for different types of floor coverings of terraces, balconies, hiking flat roofs during the final construction work.

The technical problem that is solved by the invention is such a floor plate construction that will allow easy installation and disassembly, different adjustment of the heights and slopes of the floors, easy fitting to different inclinations of the waterproofing of flat roofs, balconies and terraces, solved the problem of temperature expansion of the floors, allowing rainwater drainage between the joints of the panels, mechanically protect the waterproofing at the contact between the legs of the panels and the waterproofing, while at the same time the whole structure will be invisible, compact and weatherproof.

There are many known solutions to adjustable floor panel heights. The solution is known with adjustable pedestals e.g. BUZON or galvanized steel profiles with leveling feet-bolts. The solution is impractical because it requires additional mechanical protection of the waterproofing. It is complicated to execute exterior cladding on terraces and balconies with ceramic tiles, since it requires preliminary implementation of mechanical protection of waterproofing with special panels or cement screed and additional laying of thin concrete slabs on the supports on which ceramics can be glued. The dimensions and load-bearing capacity of concrete slabs on the market are not adapted to laying on supports with larger spacings and are not always in accordance with the modular dimensions of ceramic tiles, which consequently limits the use of ceramic tiles in the floor coverings of exterior terraces, balconies and flat walkways.

The known solution of laying ceramics on cement screeds, which makes it impossible to easily install, disassemble and revise the waterproofing. Damage due to temperature expansion of cement screed and linings is problematic. There is a known solution of laying concrete slabs in the gravel layer, which is not the case for ceramic tiles.

A common feature of the known mounting solutions is the laying on the supports on four corners of the concrete washed panels or on a line on the profiles, but all require additional protection of waterproofing and none allow the mounting of ceramic tiles module 30/30 cm with joints at 60 cm or 120 cm.

The problem that remains unresolved is the need for additional mechanical protection of the waterproofing and the laying of ceramic tiles in 30 / 30cm format with dilution joints and joints for drainage of water at cm and 120 cm.

According to the invention, the problem is solved by a two-piece adjustable floor panel having a flexible plastic bottom with hollow legs, on which the upper part of a hollow panel of modular size 30 cm with wider hollow legs is planted. The invention will be described by way of example and illustrative drawings

FIG. 2 longitudinal section of plates

FIG. 3 cross-section of panels

The adjustable base plate is made up of a top plate assembly 1, a base 2 and 18 galvanized self-tapping screws 3.

The top panel is made of HDPE plastic, it can also be LDPE or PP, UV resistant, resistant at -30 to +80 degrees Celsius.

The upper panel is hollow, the above are two openings 4, which can serve to further strengthen and load the panel by injecting micro-reinforced cement grout and the outlet of expelled air. The surface of the top panel is above the rough texture for better adhesion to the adhesive.

The lower legs 5 are so narrower than the upper legs 6 that they allow for planting and a minimum rotation of up to 3% inclination in all directions. All the legs are hollow so that the lower ones can fit into the upper ones and can be adjusted to the required height below the floor level. The bottom 2 is thin, flexible and can bend and fit the shape and inclination of waterproofing and thermal insulation already performed.

The adjustable floor panel according to the invention is assembled so that the bottom of panel 2 is laid directly on the waterproofing of a flat terrace or balcony, which, for example, was previously laid over the thermal insulation of the outdoor terrace.

The upper panel 1 with legs 6 is then inserted into the lower legs 5. The upper panel 1 is then adjusted by height to the required height below the level of the floor covering. The top plate 1 is fixed to the bottom 2 by screwing the self-tapping screws 3 from the side through the walls of the upper leg 6 and the lower leg 5. The panels thus assembled are pressed together and the joints remain free to allow water between them it sinks and runs down the bottom 2 into a groove already made.

The upper panels can be reinforced by injecting micro-reinforced cementitious mass through the openings 4. After hardening, the board is ready for bonding ceramic tiles or mounting other exterior floor coverings.

During disassembly, the panel is lifted together with the liner to allow for a waterproofing audit.
