Embodiment Construction

[0158]FIG. 1 shows a floor panel (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0159]The floor panel (100) has an upper surface (102), an opposed lower surface (104), opposed side edges (105) and opposed end edges, including a first end edge (106) and an opposed second end edge (108). The panel (100) tapers in thickness from the first end edge (106) to the second end edge (108) with a gradient of at least 0.1%. The gradient is a negative gradient configured to direct water or any other liquid towards the second end edge (108).

[0160]The floor panel (100) has a rectangular or square shape and is formed from concrete or plastic material and / or materials.

[0161]The panel (100) is provided in standard lengths of 1,800 mm, 2,100 mm, 2,400 mm, 2,700 mm, 3,000 mm or 4,000 mm extending between the opposed end edges (106, 108), and standard widths of 600 mm, 900 mm, 1,200 mm, 1,350 mm or 1,500 mm extending between the opposed side edges (105).

[0162]Likewise, the panel (100) can hav...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and floor panel for use in forming a graded floor, wet area, pathway or decking and to methods of use thereof. The panel has two opposed surfaces including a lower surface and an opposed upper surface. The opposed surfaces are interconnected by opposing edges, including opposed end edges and opposed side edges. The panel tapers in thickness from a first said end edge to an opposed second said end edge with a gradient ranging from about 0.1% to about 2.0%.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation in part of International Application No. PCT / AU2017 / 051314, filed Nov. 28, 2017, and claiming priority to Australian Application No. 2016904905, filed Nov. 29, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a flooring system including a floor panel for use in forming a graded floor or pathway and to methods of use thereof. In particular, the present invention concerns a preformed load bearing panel for use in forming a graded floor or pathway and to methods of use thereof.BACKGROUND[0003]Proper drainage is critical in any construction project, particularly in the building industry. Improper drainage can quickly lead to deterioration of building elements and costly repairs.[0004]For example, modern building and construction codes generally require that any wet area (e.g., bathrooms, laundries, en-suites and the like)...
