Benefits of technology
The present invention is a method of manufacturing and installing a textured cementitious tile flooring product using sodium bicarbonate and a polyurethane caulking material. The method involves preparing a mold, introducing a cementitious material into the mold, agitating it to generate a random reaction at the interface with a sodium bicarbonate layer, and allowing it to harden into the final flooring product. In addition, the invention provides a deck flooring product that can be installed over adhesive and polyurethane joint sealant, and a flooring product that can be installed over radiant heat tubing. The technical effects include improved durability, flexibility, and aesthetic appearance of the flooring product.
Problems solved by technology
However, texturing a cement tile can be time-consuming or, where an automated process is involved, the pattern can be repetitious and hence less desirable.

Embodiment Construction
[0044]As is indicated above, the present invention is directed to providing a method of manufacturing and installing a textured cementitious tile flooring product. Sodium bicarbonate is used to texture the tile surface through reaction with certain reactive components in the cementitious material, and a polyurethane caulking material is employed during installation in order to provide flexible joints between tiles.
[0045]Turning to FIG. 1, a method 10 of manufacturing a flooring product or tile is disclosed. In the method 10, a mold is prepared in substantially the shape of the desired flooring product at 14 in a manner well known in the industry. The mold can be composed of steel, rubber, plastic, PVC or any other suitable material known to those skilled in the art as having the desired utility. Once the mold has been prepared, its inner surfaces can be optionally coated with a releasing agent such as oil or a similar lubricating agent at 16; not every mold composition will require ...

Abstract
A method for manufacturing and installing a textured cementitious tile flooring product, wherein sodium bicarbonate is used to texture the tile surface and a polyurethane caulking material provides flexible joints between tiles.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority from Canadian Patent Application No. 2,768,393 filed Feb. 22, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.TECHNICAL FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to tiles for use in flooring and related construction applications, and specifically to such tiles including cementitious materials.[0003]It is known in the building construction and remodelling industries to employ tiles of varying base materials for flooring and other purposes. For example, the tiles can be composed of ceramic, cement, porcelain or stone, and are available in many varieties of colour, texture, size and strength.[0004]Cement tiles have become a popular choice in the industry, due in part to the ability to easily introduce colour and texture into the material before it hardens into the final form, even mimicking more expensive stone products. Cement can also be provided with strengthe...
