Corner module made of miter-cut porcelain stoneware slabs for inside and outside corners

Abstract

Corner module consisting of at least two miter-cut ceramic slabs, in particular made of porcelain stoneware, for forming an inside or outside corner with a predetermined angle, in particular 90°, 45° or rounded.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of modular interior design, in particular corner joints in kitchen and bathroom furniture, cladding systems or worktops, which consist of ceramic materials and are prefabricated at the factory as mitered elements. State of the art

[0002] Conventional corner solutions for ceramic cladding or furniture systems require time-consuming adjustments on site. Miter cuts must be made manually and often lead to inaccuracies or unstable structures. A standardized, modular corner solution does not yet exist – especially not for rounded corners. Description of the invention

[0003] The corner module according to the invention consists of several precisely miter-cut porcelain stoneware slabs, which are factory-connected or prepared for installation. Variants include inside or outside corners with 90°, 45° or rounded transitions.

[0004] For curves, a variety of small, wedge-shaped, or segmented miter strips can be used, which together form a curved corner shape. These modules can be pre-assembled at the factory or supplied as a set, with an adhesive, click, or magnetic connection.

[0005] The corner modules can be used as wall cladding, baseboard trim, furniture corners, or panel connections. They are preferably joined using PU adhesive, click systems, or form-fitting clips. Integrated support frames or positioning aids are available as options. Advantages of the invention - Time savings through factory production - Precise miter cuts for right angles and curves - Monolithic design without visible joints - Ideal for wall, furniture and panel coverings - Compatible with JOLLYCORE systems
