A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A BULLNOSE TILE AND A BULLNOSE TILE
A method for manufacturing a bullnose tile comprising the steps of: providing a ceramic tile that comprises a base body made of a ceramic material, wherein the base body has a main surface and a bullnose edge; providing a decorative layer on top of said bullnose edge, by inkjet printing a curable ink to form a dcor; curing said curable ink; wherein said curable ink, after printing, is in direct contact with the ceramic material of the base body.
Wind uplift resistance mechanism for outdoor flooring
The disclosure relates to an outdoor flooring assembly for securing flooring trays to improve stability and wind uplift resistance. The flooring trays each include a plurality of securement mechanisms coupled to a bottom surface thereto, the securement mechanisms designed to interconnect with one another to securely retain adjacent trays together and minimize the risk that any individual tray is dislodged.
METHOD OF PRODUCING A VENEERED ELEMENT
A method of producing a veneered element, including providing a substrate, applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer, and applying pressure to the veneer layer and/or the substrate, such that at least a portion of the sub-layer permeates through the veneer layer. Also, such a veneered element.
REINFORCED TILE
Reinforced tiles, as well as systems and methods for reinforcing tiles, are provided. The reinforced tiles have enhanced durability, compressive strength, shear strength, and modulus of elasticity.
Veneer underlayment
An underlayment for use between a veneer material and a foundation surface includes a base layer and a series of individual supports extending upwardly from the base layer. The supports are configured to create voids in a layer of bonding material used to adhere the veneer material to the underlayment. Each support includes at least one outer wall extending upwardly from the base layer and terminating at an upper lip, a bowl area defined adjacent a center of each of the individual supports, and an internal wall extending downwardly and inwardly from the upper lip toward the center of each of the individual supports to at least partially define the bowl area within each of the individual supports, the internal wall comprising a plurality of surfaces extending from the upper lip.
Support Tile for a Tiled Terrace
The invention relates to a support tile for a tiled terrace, which support tile includes a body with a rectangular base surface, a top surface parallel to the base surface and a peripheral wall extending along the circumference of the base surface and between the base surface and the top surface, and support flanges extending from the peripheral wall and extending parallel to the top surface. The support flanges are arranged at either of two different distances from the top surface, such that the support flanges of adjacent support tiles can slide interlocking in a direction parallel to the top surface and provide a support in a direction perpendicular to the top surface.
Mortar-less decorative tile mosaic composite for swimming pool bottom
Preformed and self-contained ceramic tile mosaic composite that contact adheres to swimming pool bottoms without tools or a need to drain water. This invention in unique in that it allows for easy tool-free installation in the bottom pools full of water. This invention is also unique in that it allows for installation in soft shell pools (i.e. vinyl liner, in-ground and above ground) as well as concrete based and fiberglass pools. Another differentiator is that this invention is flexible and conforms to the bottom of the pool. This provides full surface interface of the rubber base and pool bottom. The rubber base is designed to be tractable and can provide some degree of suction allowing the composite to keep intended form, shape, position and location without the permanence of a cementitious or epoxy/glue adhesive necessitated by typical mesh mounted pool tile mosaics. This invention also allows
Mechanical locking system for floor panels
Ceramic and stone tiles are shown, which are provided with a locking system including a separate strip part connected to vertical and horizontal grooves formed in the tile edge. A set of ceramic or stone tiles including a first tile provided with a first edge and a second tile provided with a second edge wherein the tiles are provided with a locking system for locking the first edge to the second edge in a horizontal direction parallel with a tile surface and in a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, said locking system includes a first and a second tongue and a strip part provided with a first and a second locking element.
MECHANICAL LOCKING OF FLOOR PANELS WITH A FLEXIBLE BRISTLE TONGUE
Floor panels which are provided with a mechanical locking system including a displaceable tongue in a displacement groove. The tongue is moulded and provided with bendable protrusions. A building panel having an edge portion provided with a groove, in which a tongue formed as a separate part is received, wherein the tongue includes at least two bow shaped protrusions at a first long edge of the tongue, and wherein the protrusions are arranged bendable in the groove.
