A tile system for covering a surface. The tile system comprises a first tile assembly connected to a second tile assembly by a connector. Each tile assembly comprises a first tile stacked on a second tile, the first tile and the second tile joined to a reinforcing material disposed therebetween. The connector comprises a first component and a second component that is complementary to the first component. The first component is mounted to the first tile assembly, and the second component is mounted to the second tile assembly.

Disclosed are a ceramic tile leveling bracket, pushing and clamping pliers, and a ceramic tile leveling and laying system. The ceramic tile leveling and laying system comprises: a ceramic tile leveling bracket, an insertion block, and pushing and clamping pliers, wherein the ceramic tile leveling bracket is disposed at a junction of at least two adjacent ceramic tiles, one end of the insertion block is inserted into an insertion block receiving portion of the ceramic tile leveling bracket, and the pushing and clamping pliers push and clamp the insertion block into a ceramic tile leveling bracket such that a bottom face of the insertion block is tangent to upper surfaces of the ceramic tiles. The ceramic tile leveling and laying system is easy to operate, and improves the laying efficiency and laying quality.

An anchor for connecting a concrete layer of a floor to a cellulosic layer of the floor, the cellulosic layer comprising a plurality of cellulosic members joined together in a side-by-side arrangement, the anchor including a first portion to extend between two adjacent cellulosic members of the cellulosic layer into the concrete layer of the floor. The first portion includes attachment structure to attach the first portion to one of the two adjacent cellulosic members of the cellulosic layer to attach the anchor to the cellulosic layer. An upper edge margin of the first portion is disposed within the concrete layer when the first portion is attached to the cellulosic layer. A second portion extends from the upper edge margin in a first direction that is transverse to the first portion. The second portion is spaced apart from the cellulosic layer and embedded within the concrete layer of the floor to attach the anchor to the concrete layer.

The invention relates to a tile panel which includes a support panel which is essentially flat and has a top side onto which one or more tiles are adhered by an adhesive, wherein the support panel is made from a material which is different than the material from which the one or more tiles are made, and the top side of the support panel includes a recessed structure in which the adhesive is present. The invention also relates to a surface covering, in particular for a floor, ceiling or wall surface, which is constructed by a multitude of neighbouring tile panels.

The invention relates to a panel for constructing a floor or wall covering. The panel comprises a substantially planar top surface, at least one core layer composed of a composite material which core layer is provided with at least one cavity, and a bottom surface. The panel further comprises at least one pair of opposite edges, said pair of opposite edges preferably comprising complementary coupling parts configured for mutual coupling of adjacent panels.

A floor panel (2) of a floor covering (1), which forms a walkable surface (1.1) of the floor covering (1) by laterally placing several floor panels (2) on top of each other, has the dimensions length and width, and a magnetic layer (4) is arranged on an underside (2.2) of the floor panel (2). The magnetic layer (4) extends over at least 90% of each of the two dimensions length and width of the underside (2.2) of the floor panel (2) at least partially and covers at least a total area of 25% of the underside (2.2), preferably at least 50%, and particularly preferably at least 85%.

A floor covering (1) is formed by a floor panel (2) and a magnetic support (5).

The invention relates to a composite tile for an installation system, more particularly for the production of a floor covering or wall covering, comprising a tile of a floor covering or wall covering and a backing disposed on the lay-on face of the tile. The invention also relates to a connecting element for the connection of two composite tiles and to an installation system composed of composite tiles and also to a method for the fabrication of a composite tile. The backing consists of a fiber composite material, more particularly fiber cement.
