Definitions

  • the present invention relates to interlockable tiles.
  • tiles there are many types of known tiles. Commonly, they are formed of slate, clay or concrete and are susceptible to breakage during transit and installation. Further, these types of materials mean that the tiles are relatively heavy. In the case of roof tiles, tiles are often carried by roofers on their shoulders, which restricts vision and hinders movement. This can result in accidents, such as if a roofer breaks a batten between rafters after positioning a hand/foot incorrectly due to restricted vision. Further, the cost of transporting such products is also high.
  • interlocking roof tiles are available, for example an interlocking roof tile has been proposed in WO2010/01345. However, it remains desirable to provide an interlocking tile which aids alignment and provides a greater degree of flexibility of adjustment between adjacent tiles.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are intended to address at least some of the abovementioned problems.
  • an interlockable tile including:
  • each of the upper surface arrangements or each of the underside arrangements of the tile provide an elongate slot respectively at or proximal to an upper or lower edge of the tile;
  • each of the other of the underside arrangements or the upper surface arrangements of the tile provides a protrusion for engaging the slot
  • the slots and corresponding protrusions provide a range of tiling gauges between a predetermined maximum and minimum gauge for the overlapping tiles.
  • Each elongate slot may extend from a first end at or proximal to the upper or lower edge of the tile to a second end which is distal to the edge, such that the gauge of the tile may vary between a maximum when the protrusion is at the first end of the slot to a minimum when the protrusion is at the second end of the slot.
  • the gauge is the length of the exposed part of an underlying tile when the tiles are in use and therefore the maximum gauge corresponds to the minimum overlap between the tiles and the minimum gauge corresponds to the maximum overlap.
  • the slot is typically aligned with the vertical axis of the tile.
  • Each protrusion may be spaced apart from an upper or lower edge of the tile.
  • the protrusion may be spaced apart from the adjacent tile edge by a greater length than the distance between the distal end of the slot and its adjacent tile edge. Such an arrangement may ensure that the slot is always below the tile overlap regardless of the tile gauge being used.
  • Each slot may be open at the upper or lower edge of the tile. As such the slot is open at its first end allowing the corresponding protrusion to be slid into place from the edge of the tile.
  • the slots and corresponding protrusions may be provided with interlocking profiles.
  • the protrusion may have an interference fit within the slot.
  • the protrusion and slot may have keyed male and female cross sectional profiles.
  • Such interlocking profiles may be advantageous in ensuring that the protrusion engages the slot and remains in the desired alignment - for example the tiles may be slid into place in use but may then resist unintentional sliding.
  • the upper surface of the tile may further include at least one datum line proximal to the upper edge of the tile.
  • a datum line provides an aid to alignment during installation, for example the datum line may provide an indication of the relative position of overlapping tiles at a given tile gauge.
  • Multiple datum lines may be provided in the form of an index.
  • the datum line may be a continuous or broken line running along the top of the upper surface of the tile. There may be more than one marking running parallel to the top edge of the upper surface and spaced apart along the vertical length of the tile as required.
  • the tile may further include: a first formation at or adjacent one side edge, and a second formation at or adjacent an opposite side edge that, in use, interlocks with a corresponding said first formation of an adjacent tile.
  • the first formation can include a first preformed aperture for receiving, in use, a fixing device such as a nail, and the second formation includes a second preformed aperture for receiving, in use, the fixing device such that when, the first formation is interlocked with said second formation of another tile, the first and second apertures are aligned to allow the fixing device to pass through the first and second apertures.
  • At least one of the first and second apertures may be elongate.
  • the first side edge formation may include an elongate protrusion and the second side edge formation may include a recess or slot in the opposite side edge. Engagement of the first and second side edge formations, in use, when the tile is interlocked with an adjacent tile, allows an upper surface of the tile to lie flush with an upper surface of the interlocked tile. At least a portion of the elongate protrusion may be angled to form a water run located, in use, beneath a join between side edges of adjacent tiles.
  • the tile may further comprise a nib that, in use, hooks over a roofing batten.
  • a portion of the nib may be formed on the first side edge formation.
  • the tile may be generally square or rectangular in plan view.
  • the tile may have a height of 390 mm and a width of 345 mm.
  • a side edge portion of the tile can include an arrangement for receiving/connecting to a verge attachment.
  • at least one of the tiles can be around 50% wider than other tiles in the set.
  • the tile may be formed of a rigid plastic material, which may include recycled plastic.
  • the tile can be formed of a mixture of pulverised fuel ash (PFA) and plastic, such as polyethylene.
  • PFA pulverised fuel ash
  • the tile may comprise around 70% PFA and around 30% high density polyethylene and in some cases additional materials may be used.
  • the underside arrangement (or another portion/component of the tile) may fit into a clipping device, which may be fitted at a fascia of a building structure.
  • the clipping device may include a pivotable member including an arrangement for receiving the tile underside arrangement (or other portion/component), the member being pivotable so as to allow the tile to be fitted at an angle corresponding to a pitch of a roof.
  • a set of tiles substantially as described herein.
  • a kit including a set of said tiles and a set of strips of material adapted to fix the tiles to a fascia board.
  • a roof (or a building structure) laid with a set of tiles substantially as described herein.
  • a method of laying a set of tiles substantially as described herein comprising laying a first said tile in the set on a roof batten and laying a next tile in the set such that the formations/arrangements on the tiles interlock.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of an example lockable tile
  • Figure 2 is a schematic plan view of the upper side of the tile
  • Figure 3 is a schematic plan view of the underside of the tile
  • Figures 4A and 4B are schematic side views of the of the tile.
  • Figure 5 is a schematic end view of the lower edge of the tile.
  • the tile 100 can be formed of any suitable material, including conventional ones such as concrete, but it is particularly advantageous if the tile is formed of a lightweight material having a long life cycle, such as a rigid plastic. There can be environmental/economic advantages if the plastic material used is recycled.
  • the tile can be formed of re-processed Polypropylene from car batteries, with a smaller percentage of PE extract from reprocessed nappy-waste also compressed shaped.
  • Metal such as aluminium, may also be used for manufacturing embodiments of the tile, which could accommodate a flush inter-joined solar ray energy collection device (not shown).
  • the texture and design of the tile can be such that it has a similar appearance to conventional (e.g. slate/plain/Shaker) tiles so that it can blend in with existing roofing if needed.
  • the tile may be considered to comprise a man-made interlocking slate.
  • the tiles can be used for roofing, but also for external (e.g. slate) vertical tiling and versions can be produced that are suitable for floor and wall tiling. It will be appreciated that the tile interlocking arrangements described herein can be modified so that tiles surrounding the tile have flush exposed surfaces.
  • the tile can be formed by any suitable manufacturing method, e.g. injection moulding when plastic is used.
  • the tile may be formed of a mixture of pulverised fuel ash (PFA) and polyethylene, e.g. around 70% PFA and around 30% high density polyethylene.
  • PFA pulverised fuel ash
  • the PFA can be heated and compounded into granules and then injection-moulded to form the tiles.
  • Additives such as flame-retardants can also be used in some embodiments.
  • the dimensions and design of the tile can be varied. In one example, the overall length/width of the main area of the tile is 360 mm (height) x 325 mm (width), which is a size commonly used and preferred by tradesmen in the UK.
  • tiles of virtually any reasonable dimensions e.g. 390 mm x 345 mm, or 600mm x 300mm or 900mm by 300mm may be used for larger areas, or 900 mm x 360 - 1200 mm x 360 mm
  • 390 mm x 345 mm, or 600mm x 300mm or 900mm by 300mm may be used for larger areas, or 900 mm x 360 - 1200 mm x 360 mm
  • the tile 100 is generally rectangular in shape and includes an upper surface 101 A and an underside 101 B.
  • the surface of the tile 100 may have a ridged profile as shown in the figures to provide a plurality of channels in the upper surface 101 A.
  • the tile may have a flat surface profile (not shown).
  • An upper edge of the tile is labelled 104A in Figure 1 , whilst its lower edge is labelled 104B.
  • the right-hand side edge of the tile in Figure 1 is labelled 104C and the straight, clean cut left-hand side edge is labelled 104D.
  • At the upper edge 104A there is at least one depending nib 106. In the illustrated example, there are two nibs 106, 106', each nib being located at opposite side edges of the tile.
  • the nibs can be used to hook the tile over a roofing batten 102A.
  • the nibs may include a preformed aperture/bore (not illustrated) for receiving a nail or the like to help fix the tile to the batten, in addition to any abutting tiles. This is especially useful if the tile is to be fitted in a substantially vertical orientation, e.g. the nib being set on an upper surface of the batter and the main surface of the tile being set on a side surface of the batten.
  • the nibs 106 may comprise snap-off hinges that can solve the problem of crooked batons, or batons having notches, bad workmanship, etc.
  • the upper edge 101 A comprises two elongate slots 1 1 OA and 1 10B, although it will be appreciated that the number, length and appearance of the slots can be varied.
