Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a ceramic tiled floor, conveniently connectable also dry.
  • the materials used for the creation of smooth floors are mainly represented, in the known art, by parquet systems, both in the traditional form using natural strips of wood or its specific by-products, or the modern version using industrially produced synthetic material laths, which now faithfully reproduce the typical patterns of wood grains; these laths are also characterised by the presence of tongue and groove edges, which allow stable and definitive connection of the various elements to each other, also dry.
  • the adhesion of this type of floor to the laying surface can be obtained through a layer of adhesive, or the floor can be "floating", i.e. simply resting on a relevant support sheath.
  • the only possibility of dry-assembled ceramic floors envisages the connection of the tiles to supports made of more easily workable materials, such as plastic, on which male-female shape coupling solutions are obtainable.
  • the aim of this invention is therefore to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantage.
  • This invention characterised by the claims, reaches the aim through the use of ceramic tiles equipped with suitable grooved edges to house tongued strips, which can ensure, during laying, a coplanar surface and the arrangement alongside each other of adjacent tiles.
  • the main advantage obtained through the present invention consists of the fact that the finished floor has excellent stability and coplanar qualities.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the invention according to a sectional view, with some parts removed to better highlight others;
  • FIG. 3 shows some disassembled tiles according to a second preferred embodiment connectable through a strip according to a second preferred embodiment
  • Figure 4 shows a section of the tiles of Figure 3 assembled through the strip.
  • the present invention concerns a tiled ceramic floor.
  • Such a floor comprises tiles (1) provided along at least one edge (la) with a groove (2), and tongued strips (3), complementary to the grooves (2) adapted to connect adjacent tiles (I), so as to give the entire floor (10) stability and planarity.
  • the tiles (1) are preferably made of porcelain stoneware, such material having the necessary mechanical resistance to create the grooves (2) and for connection through the tongued strips (3).
  • the latter can be provided with surface roughness (3a), so as to increase the friction against the walls of the grooves (2) that house them.
  • the tiles (1) comprise grooves (2) on at least two opposite edges (la), so as to facilitate the assembly of a series of tiles (1).
  • the laying of the floor first envisages the arrangement of a row of tiles (1) on the laying surface (10a), the insertion of the strips (3) in the grooves (2) of a series of tiles (1) already positioned on the laying surface; more tiles (1) are subsequently arranged on the laying surface (10a), adjacent to the previous ones already equipped with the strips (3); then the new tiles (1) are moved alongside the tiles (1) already equipped with the strip (3), and then the reciprocal connection of the tiles
  • grooves 2 are arranged at a greater distance from the upper surface of the tiles 1 than the distance from the base of the tiles 1.
  • This provides for a greater thickness for the part of the tiles 1 including the upper surface of the tiles 1, which is potentially subject to greater mechanical strain, such as for example in the event of impact of a body falling onto the floor.
  • the arrangement of the grooves 2 is in particular, with respect to the upper surface of the tiles 1 , approximately 2/3 of the thickness of the tiles 1.
  • the depth of the grooves 2 of the tiles 1 is more than twice their height.
  • the tiles 1 have grooves 2 along all their edges la.
  • the tiles 1 can have any conformation but are preferably quadrangular and in particular rectangular, and envisage at least two grooves 2, with constant height and depth that extend in a straight line on at least two opposite longitudinal edges la of the tiles 1.
  • the depth of the grooves 2 is advantageously no less than half the width of the strips 3. This enables the edges la of the tiles 1 placed alongside to be rested against each other, hence preventing the formation between them of gaps that are not necessary since the floor made of tiles 1, due to being able to be laid floating onto the laying surface 10a, prevents the onset of strain between one tile and another tile.
  • This option to avoid gaps represents an unmistakable advantage with respect to traditional floors bonded onto the laying surface that require gaps so as to prevent any movement of the laying surface onto which the tiles are bonded causing the onset of strain between one tile and another tile with the resulting risk of their chipping or breaking.
  • the surface roughness of the strips 3 is conformed to fins 20 and arranged on the two opposite end zones of the main body of the strips 3.
  • the fins 20 are configured in such a way that they have facilitated bending towards the central zone 21 of the main body of the strips 3 for facilitated introduction into the grooves 2.
  • the fins 20 are conformed to make the insertion of the strip 3 into the grooves 2 easier and its extraction from the grooves 2 more difficult.
  • the fins 20 are preferably made of a different material and in particular softer than the main body of the strips 3.
  • the central zone 21 of the main body of the strips 3 also has a thickening to better withstand shearing and bending stress and to limit the possible reciprocal vertical movement (perpendicular to the lying plane of the tiles).
  • the creation of the main body of the strips 3 in rigid material allows easy insertion in the grooves 2 further facilitated by the rounding off of the ends of the main body of the strips 3.
  • the thickness of the main body of the strips 3 can, for example, be approximately half the height of the grooves 2.
  • the height of the fins 20 is, on the other hand, advantageously greater than the height of the grooves 2 so that they can exert the correct pressure against the grooves 2.
  • the thus proportioned strips 3 can be easily inserted into the grooves 2 and locked by effect of the high friction due to the fins 20 which guarantee effective and stable coupling between the tiles 1 on the laying surface 10a.
  • the strips 3 can have a shorter length than the length of the edge la of the tiles 2 where the grooves 2 are located.
  • the tiles 1 are advantageously subjected, during manufacturing, to suitable pressure to make them perfectly planar so that the grooves 2 are always parallel to their upper surface.
  • This advantageous characteristic is particularly obtained with a machine that has pressing means during the milling of the grooves 2 of the tiles 1 to keep the latter perfectly planar and to obtain, once the strips 3 are inserted in the grooves 2 for creating the floor, perfect planarity of the floor without any steps between one tile and another tile.
  • the floor according to the invention is suitable for cheap, clean and quick laying. For laying, no adhesive or grout is required since the floor is floating on the laying surface 10a.
  • the floor can consequently be immediately walked on.
  • the material of which the tiles is made for example porcelain stoneware, is damp- proof and water-proof and can be installed in damp environments, for example basements and bathrooms.
  • the floor offers the advantage of simplifying laying to the extent that it is also possible for unqualified operators.
  • the floor can also be disassembled after laying in order to be reassembled subsequently in another context.
  • the gaps can be sealed with a sealant for example to make the floor waterproof if laid in an environment exposed to water.
  • the laying of the floor initially envisages laying the flat sound-absorbing underlay, and then arranging rows of tiles on the underlay.
  • the tiles of a subsequent row are positioned staggered as preferred with respect to the tiles of the previous row just as long as strips 3 are provided at least at the corners of the tiles and, especially if the tiles are fairly long, also at the central zone of the sides of the tiles.
  • the strips 3 are inserted half way along onto the tiles 1 already in position on the underlay.
  • the subsequent tiles 1 to be joined to the previous tiles already in position are moved alongside and joined to the latter using a rubber hammer with which the other half of the strips 3 of the tiles already in position is engaged in the grooves 2 of the tiles to be joined.
  • the damaged tile is broken into small pieces which are removed, then the strips 3 joining the tiles 1 around it are cut flush without removing the underlying part of the underlay, a trickle of silicone is put along the edge of the tiles that form the boundary of the space left by the broken tile, and a new tile is inserted. Even after the replacement of the broken tile the floor remains floating.
  • each perimetral edge of the tiles 1 extends for the entire thickness of the tiles on a single corresponding plane perpendicular to the main lying place of the tiles, and the groove 2 on the edge extends perpendicular to the lying plane of the edge itself.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may in practice be of any type according to requirements and the state of the art.
