Definitions

  • One or more embodiments of the present invention relates to a floor lining insulation underlay with a slip-inhibiting surface configuration, as per the preamble of claim 1 .
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-section view of an insulation underlay on a flooring according to an embodiment.
  • the insulation underlay beneath a floor lining covering of said type has an additional task imparted to it aside from the actual insulation action, specifically a stabilizing function with regard to vertical and horizontal forces introduced into said floor linings.
  • the corresponding insulation underlays should, in order to prevent vertical weight-induced loads from leading to deformations in a vertical direction, be designed to exhibit greater pressure resistance than would be required for example in the case of floor linings such as parquet and laminate.
  • an adhesive connection to the insulation underlay is generally provided, because the floor lining segments adhesively bonded to the insulation underlay are secured against horizontal displacement.
  • Insulation underlays with a surface with an adhesive coating have the effect here of restricting the horizontal mobility of the floor lining segments laid on said insulation underlay, but simultaneously have the disadvantage that, as a result of said adhesive bond, the process of laying the floor lining segments is made considerably more difficult.
  • the inventive solution provides that the insulation underlay, which is generally composed of a foamed plastic, has a special surface coating directly applied to it, or alternatively a foil with said special surface coating is laminated onto the insulation underlay.
  • the central inventive feature in the case of this specially applied surface coating is that it increases the sliding friction coefficient or the sliding friction number ⁇ of the insulation underlay surface to a value greater than 0.5. This is however achieved without the surface imparting an adhesive effect as regards a connection between the floor lining segments and the insulation underlay in a vertical direction.
  • the increase of the sliding friction coefficient ⁇ is in this case such that the floor lining laid on the insulation underlay is secured against a vertical movement on the insulation underlay but, at the same time, it is still ensured that the individual floor lining segments can be slid to a limited extent during the process of laying them. Also, as a result of the fact that said surface coating is not sticky, it is ensured that the floor lining segments can be easily lifted from the insulation underlay at any time during the laying process, and thus corrections can be made at any time during the laying of the floor lining segments.
  • the result is thus a special surface configuration which, as a result of the increased sliding friction coefficient ⁇ , achieves the desired effect of securing the floor lining segments against a horizontal displacement, without having the abovementioned disadvantages of the adhesive surfaces such as are known in the prior art.
  • the surface configuration according to the invention of the novel insulation underlay has the effect that the floor surface above the insulation underlay can turn up as a result of its corresponding expansion, but in so doing does not remain adhered to the insulation underlay and can thus change its position with respect to the insulation underlay. That is to say the floor surface can, during the corresponding expansion and subsequent contraction, perform a slipping movement with regard to its position relative to the insulation underlay, wherein this is known under the technical term “stick-slip”. This is not possible in the case of adhesive bonding of the insulation underlay, and constitutes a further advantageous aspect of the invention.
  • the increase of the sliding friction coefficient or of the sliding friction number ⁇ of the surface of the insulation underlays to a value greater than 0.5 can be realized here according to the invention by means of two different surface configurations.
  • the first approach in this case provides a co-extruded polyurethane coating which has a rough or uneven surface. Said surface characteristics result firstly from the basic characteristics of the polyurethane that is used, but secondly also from the manufacturing process, for example from the cooling process during the production of the co-extruded polyurethane coating.
  • the increase of the sliding friction coefficient or sliding friction number ⁇ results in this case from said surface unevennesses and also from a certain elasticity of said surface, wherein said characteristics, in the interaction thereof, generate a slip-inhibiting characteristic, wherein this relates only to sliding friction and thus does not generate adhesive characteristics.
  • the second solution likewise provides a surface configuration which is composed in this case of an extruded polyethylene coating.
  • This is a mixture of an elastomer and of a polymer, wherein a further additive is added which prevents blocking of said material such that the material is not sticky.
  • the result of the connection of said materials is a polyethylene coating which duly has the desired dull surface and thus has a relatively high sliding friction number or a relatively high sliding friction coefficient ⁇ , but which at the same time is not sticky owing to the additive for preventing blocking.
  • said coatings are either applied directly to the surface of an insulation material during the production thereof or else are produced as a separate foil which is then laminated as a slip-inhibiting surface onto the insulation underlays that are used.
