Definitions
- This invention relates to the area of wall tiling and in particular to a means whereby tiling does not need to be applied to a wall on a tile by tile basis nor does the wall need to first be prepared for the application of such tiles.
- wet areas of a dwelling It is well known for wet areas of a dwelling to be provided with tiling to protect the walls from water penetration. Such wet areas include bathrooms and shower recesses as well kitchen areas adjacent sinks and the like, many of which are either difficult to access or to work in.
- the common way of tiling a wall involves first preparing a wall surface to be tiled and then applying individual wall tiles to that surface with an appropriate cement or other adhesive using spacers and the like.
- It is an object of the invention is largely ameliorate the above problems by providing a means whereby tiling modules can be pre assembled such that they can be erected on site in a much shorter time than would be required if individual tiles were to be laid on a wall surface which had first to be pre-prepared.
- the invention is a means of installing tiles on a surface using tile modules which have a plurality of tiles mounted thereupon and means whereby the modules can, interengage.
- tile modules be used for installing wall tiles.
- the invention is applicable to all surfaces such as floors and the like but for convenience sake will be discussed here in terms of its application to walls.
- each tile module include a backing board which can be affixed to a stud wall or the like.
- the tiles be affixed to an outwards facing surface of the backing board by whatever adhesive is preferred, the type of adhesive not being restricted in the invention.
- each tile module has a depending member able to enter a closely fitting recess in an upper edge of a lower tile module.
- this recess be provided with silicone or other such sealant on installation to prevent water any leakage at the join.
- the lower edge of the bottommost module be slotted into a suitable extrusion or the like and sealed as appropriate.
- Fig. 1 is a view of a tiled area which could well be a shower recess and the area adjacent to this and which is made of modules of the invention; - A -
- Fig. 2a is a broken sectional view showing a tile module having the two different types of end connections of a first embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 2b shows the interconnection of two modules of the type shown in Fig. 2a;
- Fig. 3 is a view similar to that of Fig. 2a, but of an alternative form of the invention.
- Fig. 4a is an extrusion for an internal corner
- Fig. 4b is an extrusion for an external corner
- Fig. 4c is a section of a female edge member
- Fig. 4d is a section of a male edge member
- Fig 4e is a floor joiner section
- Fig. 5 is a section along line 5-5 of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows and showing the connection to a stud and the interconnection between two modules;
- Fig. 6 is a view along line 6-6 of Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 7 shows an internal corner and is taken along line 7-7 of Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 8 is a view of an external corner and is taken along line 8-8 of Fig. 1.
- the tiles can be adhesively secured to the backing board when this is horizontal, the skill level needed is substantially less that is the case where the tiles are fitted on site. It is also, quicker to prepare the modules using the invention rather than to tile on site and further the time the tilers need to spend on site is substantially restricted thus minimising disruption caused by them working where there are other tradespeople.
- Fig. 1 there are shown a number of tiled modules 20, 21 , the limits of which are shown in dark lines with the modules 20 having 45 tiles and modules 21 having an indeterminate number of tiles.
- the size of the modules will depend upon the application to which they are put and the size of the tiles on the module.
- the upright rear module may indicate a shower recess and the width and the height of the module is sufficient to define the shower recess so that there are no joins in the recess itself.
- the invention is applicable to tiling areas of any size or shape and basicallythe module comprise a backing board 30, which may preferably be ceramic tile backing board to which there is connected connector members 40,50, exemplified in Fig. 2a and will be described hereinafter which are connected to the backing board 30 by screws 41.
- Tiles 31 are then laid over the backing board 30, and adhesively secured thereto. The tiles can be applied flat in a factory situation or the like and when the adhesive 32 has set, grout 33 can be located in the spaces between the tiles.
- a module of the required size having extending at one end a connector 40. And at the other end connector 50.
- the sides will also have similar connectors. As can be seen from Fig. 2a or 4d, this has a body portion 42 and an outwardly-extending support 43 which underlies the backing board 30, and outwardly-extending connector member 44 and a recess 45 which will be adapted to receive fixing screws.
- the other end connector 50 is also connected to the backing board 30 by screws 41 and in this case has a body 51 having extending in one direction an outwardly- extending support 52 which enables the screw 41 to connect the connecter to the backing board 30 and at the other end from the body there are extending two-spaced arms 53, 54.
- the other end of the module may be restrained differently, as will be described later.
- next module is then raised above the first module and lowered so that the extension 44 of the connector 40 receives the space between the arms 53 and 54 of the connector 50 with the free end of the arm 54 striking the shoulder of the connector 40 so that the required spacing is achieved between the tiles 31 on the two different modules and this space can be filled by grout 63 and once grouted there is no indication that the wall is not continuous.
- Rg. 3 shows an alternative type of connectors 40' and 50' which, as far as their connecting portion is concerned, are identical to those shown in Figs. 2a and 5, but differ in that each has an additional flange 48, 55, which lie over the ends of the backing boards 30.
- Fig. 6 shows a section very similar to that of Fig. 2b, but being where two vertical modules are interconnecting side-by-side.
- Figs. 7 and 8 show the application of the invention to internal and external corners respectively.
- FIG. 4a shows the corner member of Fig. 7 and it has two extensions 73 which are adapted to receive connector members 53 with the, outer end of extension 73 being adapted to enter a recess 74 adjacent the centre of the corner member, whilst the arm 54 can abut an extension 75 on the other surface.
- the spacing of the tiles 31 can be such as to permit an even corner grout 77 to be located.
- the outside corner member 80 has a pair of extension members 81 which are similar in form to the member 73 of the internal corner member 72, and again, these are adapted to receive members 50.
- the arms 53 of the members 50 abut shoulders 82 on the corner member so that, again, the spacing between the tiles 31 is accurate and grouting or a cover strip 83 can be located in the corner.
- Fig. 9 shows a module of the present invention meeting at a floor a similar module and, in this case, an internal corner member such as Fig. 4a is used, it is connected to part of the framing of the area by screws and, again, each module has a member 50 which engage with the corner member 72 in a manner similar to that described with relation to Fig. 7. Again, grouting is located at the junction of the tiles.
- Fig. 10 shows the use of a floor joiner 60, as shown in Fig 4e and a connector 50 to locate the lower edge of the module. This arrangement would be used where modules are being built up from a floor.
- the floor member 60 is connected to the frame or the like to which the module is to be fitted and a silicone or adhesive material may be filled into the channel of the floor connector prior to the module being located in position.
- the floor 62 can be later located in abutment with the tiles of the module.
