Definitions

  • This invention relates to a metal faced tile, particularly but not exclusively a flooring tile having a stainless steel surface layer.
  • Metal tiles per se are known, including stainless steel tiles having a patterned surface which are durable, slip resistant, and easy to clean. Laying a floor of such tiles can be time consuming and difficult. An even underlying surface is essential and it is difficult to achieve a reliable seal between adjacent tiles without spoiling the tile surface at the joints.
  • An object of the invention is to provide metal faced tiles which can be laid with greater ease than plain metal tiles and can be used to produce a floor having reliable waterproof and chemical resistant joints.
  • a tile comprising a substantially rectangular base element having an upper and a lower surface and a metal plate bonded to the upper surface, in which respect the base element is formed with tongues projecting from two of its sides and with corresponding grooves in the other two of its sides and the metal plate extends beyond side edges of the base element for a relatively short distance, sufficient to allow for application of a strip of sealing material therebelow when a plurality of such tiles are laid side by side with inter-engaging tongues and grooves and abutting metal plates.
  • the basic components of a practical example of the tile of the invention are a stainless steel plate 10 fixed by adhesive 12 to the surface of a plywood base element 14. Both the steel plate 10 and the plywood base 14 are substantially rectangular.
  • the steel plate 10 is cold rolled and formed with a three-dimensional surface pattern, a pattern of raised polygons 11 being shown in the illustrated example.
  • This type of surface is slip resistant, easy to clean, and any dents and scratches tend not to be visible, so it is durable and resistant to vandalism.
  • This type of floor surface is highly desirable for such diverse situations as dance floors and operating theatres.
  • the corners and edges of each steel plate 10 are radiused slightly, as indicated at 16 in the Fig. 3 detail, to avoid injuries as the tiles are laid.
  • the plywood base element 14 is preferably of birch, suitably between 12 and 20mm thick, and is preferably sealed against ingress of moisture and bacteria.
  • tongues 17 along two adjacent edges, i.e. at 90° to each other, it is formed with tongues 17, while along the other two edges, also at 90° to each other, it is formed with grooves 18.
  • adjacent tiles are laid with adjoining steel plate surfaces by the tongues 17 being inserted into respective grooves 18 to provide tongue and groove expansion joints, as are well known.
  • the adhesive 12 which fixes the steel plate 10 to the plywood 14 is preferably an epoxy adhesive which is resistant to chemicals, such as acids and strong alkalis.
  • An epoxy adhesive type is that sold under the name "Keralastic" by an Italian Company called Mapei.
  • This overhang 15 may suitably be between 1 and 3mm beyond the plywood edges. Its purpose is to allow for the application of a polymer sealing strip 20 around all the edges of the tile, but below the steel surface, so as to form chemical and water resistant sealed expansion joints, which are essential to the function, durability and aesthetic appeal of such tiled floors.
  • Suitable material for the seal 20 which is capable of being applied as a strip of paste consistency from a mastic gun or the like, is a sealant sold by the British Company, Loctite Limited, under the designation MS 5065.
  • a layer of deformable material in the form of a foamed plastics sheet 22 is secured, again by suitable adhesive, to the underside of the plywood base element 14.
  • This is suitably a cross-linked polyethylene extruded foam material, such as sold under the trade name "Acoustalay”. It allows the tiles to be fixed to a slightly uneven substrate surface and still achieve a substantially level floor.
  • a sheet of substantially impermeable plastics material 24 may be bonded to the underside of the aforesaid foamed plastics layer 22 to prevent ingress of dampness from the underlying substrate.
  • This is preferably a condensation-proof membrane.
  • Apertures 26 are formed in a lower layer or lower layers of the plywood base 14 adjacent the groove 18 and in the foam layer 22 and impermeable sheet to allow the tiles to be permanently secured to the underlying substrate by means of screws 28.
  • the tiles are laid onto a substantially level floor, which should have any major unevenness removed, e.g. by screeding beforehand.
  • the first tile is fixed to the floor by means of the screws 28 along two edges.
  • the polymer sealing material is then applied around all four edges, below the overhang 15 of the metal plate 10.
  • the next tiles are then slid into position with their tongues 17 engaging into the grooves 18 and overlying the fixing screws.
  • These tiles are then, in turn, secured to the floor below by further fixing screws 28. This procedure is repeated until a floor of the desired dimensions is achieved.
  • edges of the stainless steel plates 10 of the adjacent tiles are butt-jointed and the margins 15 thereof which overhang the plywood allow for the cavity sealing therebelow, as already described. In this way both the abutting metal plates and the adjacent plywood edges should be sealingly connected.
  • the screw fixing and apertures therefor are optional, as the tile flooring could be laid free floating upon the substrate floor.
