Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to tile assemblies and more particularly to a method of installing a plurality of tile assemblies on a planar surface.
  • Tiles are widely used on planar surfaces such as floors in household and commercial installations. Depending on the type of tile, they can be difficult to install since there are many prerequisite steps to ensure a rigid, dimensionally stable base. There are also post-installation steps that must be followed for applying grout between individual tiles laid on the planar surface. The result is that installation can be a lengthy and expensive undertaking. Moreover, tile assemblies laid in such a conventional manner are very difficult to remove if this should prove necessary from the point of view of redecoration or the like.
  • the existing floor which could be vinyl tile or something comparable, must be removed; note that removing a traditional tile floor is particularly difficult since the tiles often have to be chiselled out one by one.
  • a new sub-floor usually plywood, must be added to the original base floor and the new sub-floor must be securely and thoroughly fastened down for rigidity. Failure to do this could result subsequently in tiles being loosened or cracked, due to flexibility of the floor.
  • mud a form of cement known as "mud"
  • the adhesive is set and the tile is properly bonded.
  • Grout a viscous gritty cement-like substance, is then mixed and applied over the floor to fill in the spaces between the tiles. Excessive grout is subsequently washed off with a sponge, a practice that may require many interactions.
  • the floor After waiting a day or so for the grout to dry, the floor can then be used.
  • the full installation process usually will require 2 to 3 days and any errors made by the installer will be evident.
  • One of the features of the present invention is to provide a system of installing tiles where the installation can be performed in fewer steps than those described above.
  • an installer does not need to perform any messy steps such as preparing and then applying cement or grout to fill the cracks or spaces between the tiles after they have been installed on the sub-floor. This allows the average handyman to install floor tiles more easily and also allows professional tile installers to be more productive. This also results in less total elapsed time to install the system as the installer does not have to wait for the adhesive to dry before proceeding to the next step, nor does he have to perform multiple grouting, cleaning and drying steps.
  • the invention is clearly realized in the preparation and installation of a floating tile floor where carrier bases that support the tiles need not be adhesively secured to the sub-floor so that, if necessary, an individual tile, with its carrier base, can easily be replaced when damaged or when fashion dictates a change.
  • a tile assembly for such an installation incorporates, for example, a decorative ceramic tile securely bonded to a substrate or carrier base but the carrier itself is not bonded to the underlying sub-floor.
  • the carrier bases in the installation, can abut one another edge-to-edge or the carrier bases can be of a tongue and groove or similar arrangement whereby they interlock with one another. Even in this type of installation, the preparation and spreading of grout is still required to fill in the spaces between the decorative tiles which are on top of the carrier bases.
  • carrier/tile units can be relatively easily removed and. replaced; and the units can then be re-used elsewhere if desired. This is particularly useful for commercial properties where the decor changes regularly, say to accommodate new tenants. Trimming of these carrier/tile units can be done using a diamond saw and may require pre-cutting of the gasket material.
  • the present invention is applicable to the mounting of normal tiles, such as ceramic tiles, with their inherent size variations, onto carrier bases which themselves are of a tightly controlled size.
  • the carriers are then, easily installed using any number of techniques.
  • While the present invention is useful in several types of tile installation and/or material other than ceramic tiles, such as granite or other stone tiles, the following description is directed to a floating type floor incorporating tile assemblies that include ceramic surface tiles bonded to carrier bases.
  • the carrier bases can be designed for several installation methods such as tongue and groove interconnection which allows the installation of the tile assemblies to be floating; adhesively secured to a sub-floor; or fastened by stapling gun to a sub-floor.
  • One form of carrier interconnection is a self-locking joint as shown for example in U.S. Patent 6,006,486.
  • Another form of an interconnecting joint is to bond magnet strips on the edges of the caxrier bases, or complementary pairings of magnetic and magnetic strips, to achieve a secure interconnection with adjacent units.
  • This invention can be utilized for the installation of wall tiles as well as floor tiles, the only difference being that, for wall applications, the carriers cannot be floating but need to be secured to the wall using adhesive, stapling or some other method of securement. Many of the advantages of the invention are, however, retained.
  • a so-called bare installation may utilize carrier bases which are simply adhesively secured to the sub-floor.
  • Two further methods of detachably securing the carrier bases to the sub-floor are (a) through the use of magnetic means, for example where a thin magnetic or ferromagnetic layer such as a sheet of steel is applied on the sub-floor and a thin layer of magnet is bonded to each carrier base and is thereby held in place by magnetic force or (b) by using a system of hook-and-loop material in which the 'hook' or 'loop' side is laid on the floor and the complementary material is bonded to each carrier.
  • the invention relates to a gasket comprising a malleable material for use in the process of installing a plurality of tiles on a planar surface, the gasket being applied to at least two edges of each tile prior to the installation thereof and having such a width that, wlxen the plurality of tiles are laid adj acent to one another, the gaskets will occupy spacing between substantially parallel edges of the tiles and form a desired profile between., those edges.
  • Each of the malleable gaskets has a physical dimension determined by the gap between the edge of the tile and the adjacent edge of * the carrier base on which it is mounted plus a further width to provide a compression factor.
  • the total width of the gasket material applied to the edges of abutting tile is slightly greater than the width of trie spacing between the tile edges so that when the plurality of tiles are laid there will be a compression factor between the surfaces of the gaskets abutting one another. This compression factor allows for complete filling of the gap between adjacent tiles despite dimensional variances in manufacturing.
  • the present invention relates to a plurality of tile assemblies installed on a planar surface, each of the tile assemblies comprising a carrier base and at least one tile, secured on the upper surface thereof; means on the edges of the carrier bases providing interconnection between the carrier bases of the plurality of tile assemblies; the tiles having planar dimensions less than that of their associated carrier bases and providing gaps between the edges of the tiles when the carrier bases interconnect with one another; and. a malleable gasket applied to opposing edges of the tiles to occupy the gaps defined there between.
  • the present invention relates to a method of preparing a tile assembly for use in an installation of a planar, tile surface.
  • the tile assembly comprises a carrier base, a tile having a length and width less than that of the carrier base and being securely bonded on the carrier base, and a gasket member on at least two edges of the tile.
  • the method includes the steps of: a) preparing a mold having length and width dimensions corresponding to those of the carrier base; b) placing the carrier base with the tile thereon into the mold; and c) applying a malleable gasket on ftie edges of the tile where a gap is formed between the tile edges and the mold, the gasket being of sufficient dimension in width to fill the gap with an additional compression factor.

Abstract

De manière générale, la présente invention concerne des ensembles carreaux, et plus particulièrement un procédé de pose d'une pluralité d'ensembles carreaux sur une surface plane. Les techniques de pose de carreaux existantes requièrent un grand nombres d'opérations et leur mise en oeuvre s'étend sur plusieurs jours du fait de la nécessité d'attendre que les divers adhésifs et coulis fassent prise. L'invention permet d'obtenir un système de carreaux nettement plus rapide et moins compliqué à poser. Ce système se caractérise par l'utilisation d'un carreau composite comprenant une couche de carreau de surface, un support rigide présentant généralement la même forme et les mêmes dimensions planes que la couche de carreau de surface, et des moyens adhésifs destinés à fixer le support rigide à la face inférieure de la couche de carreau de surface, le support rigide comportant des bords qui dépassent les bords de la couche de carreau de surface, les bords dudit support rigide pouvant entrer en prise par accouplement avec des bords complémentaires de supports d'autres carreaux composites.
