Tile installation method and devices

Abstract

The invention relates to a tile installation method and devices. According to the invention, level guides (1) are provided on the ground and a pair of rules (2-2') are disposed transversely thereon, said rules being separated from one another by a distance that is slightly greater than the size of the tiles (3). The tiles (3) are fixed in place by pouring mortar (4) into the space defined therebetween (3) and using a rake (5) to spread the mortar and level same, said rake being suitably dimensioned such that the ends thereof rest on the above-mentioned rules (2-2'). Subsequently, a line of tiles (3) is placed between the rules (2-2'), with each tile being installed individually and a groove being formed in the mortar on the shared free side between said tile and the next. Once the tiles have been installed and levelled, one of the rules (2') is moved away such as to form a space together with the line of tiles (3) which is similar to that previously defined between the rules, in order to repeat the operation, i.e. to pour a new mass of mortar (4') between the rule (2') and the line of tiles (3) and to spread and level same with the rake (5) which rests on the rule (2') and on the line of tiles (3) already in place. Said cycle is repeated until the floor has been completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of installing ceramic tiles on a wrought or other type of floor, and a tool for carrying out said method. [0002] The purpose of the present invention is to achieve the optimum effect of fast and simple installation of tiles and tile finishing by almost unqualified workers. Background technique [0003] There are different types of tiles used for ground materials based on different materials, such as stone mill, marble, terrazzo, etc. However, they all have a common feature, stone mill requires highly skilled labor to install, because of the obvious complexity of this work . More specifically, tiling begins by establishing a horizontal reference or guide on which to slide a ruler to conveniently distribute the mass of mortar that acts to bond the tile to the floor, followed by the installation of the first To level the tiles, use a layer's rubber hammer to tap the tiles to keep them level and keep the level ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The next tile is moved to be installed close to the previous tile, which has been held in place with the aid of a paddle or similar, and a slot is made to allow the mortar to flow to the adjacent place so that no mortar gets between the two tiles when the tile is installed protruding, and when new tiles are installed, pressed on with the layer's hammer, or calibrated, said accumulated mortar can flow out and trickle down to the previous installed tile, causing it to move without being able to Does not re-correct the level of the previous tile

[0004] This method is obviously complex, tiring, slow and requires specialized workers who must bend or squat throughout the construction process, which has adverse long-term effects on their health
