Benefits of technology

[0021] The application of the finishing layer by means of glue allows to reduce the times and costs of producing the covering elements with respect to the state of the art.
[0022] These constructional characteristics also allow to achieve covering elemen

Problems solved by technology

A first disadvantage of such tiles is their high cost, caused both by the need to use a support made of wooden material of suitable consistency, and also by the technique for attaching the hide to said support.
The use of a wooden support and the attachment technique also constitute a constructional lim

Example

[0063] According to a first embodiment, the substrate 14 is made of substantially rigid material, for example plastic or metal, so that the covering element 110, according to its size, assumes the appearance of a tile or panel.

[0064] According to a variant, shown in FIG. 8, the substrate 14 is made of flexible material, such as for example a natural or synthetic rubber, so that the covering element 110 is deformable so as to adapt to the surface on which it is to be applied.

[0065] The substrate 14 made of flexible material and the presence of the intermediate grooves 15 allows to model the covering element 110 as desired, and to use it in order to cover, without any interruption in continuity, curved or angled surfaces too, for example relating to furnishing elements or cylindrical columns, with considerable accuracy and ease of application.

[0066] It is clear, however, that modifications and / or additions of parts may be made to the covering element 10 as described heretofore, wit...

Abstract

Covering element (10) for surfaces, comprising at least a support (11) made of synthetic material, which is at least partly covered by a finishing layer (12) of hide, leather, their by-products, fake hide, or fabric, natural or synthetic, attached on said support (11) by means of a glue (13).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention concerns a covering element, such as a tile, a strip, a spline, a tessera or suchlike, having a finishing consisting of a layer of hide, fake hide, leather, natural or synthetic fabric. [0002] The invention is able to be used particularly, but not exclusively, to cover floors and / or walls of buildings; for this reason, in the following description we shall refer to this specific application of the invention, although it can be used in various other fields, for example for covering furnishing elements, such as furniture and other objects. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Tiles are known, having a finishing consisting of a layer of tanned animal hide, or leather, of a fabric or other comparable material, used to cover floors and / or walls of buildings. [0004] Such tiles comprise a support made of multilayer wooden material on which the layer of hide is applied, by means of glue, clinching or nailing, and have a thickness of between ...
