[0008] First embodiment The tile installation method according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. The following embodiment shows one aspect of the present disclosure, does not limit the present disclosure, and can be modified as desired within the scope of the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure. In the following drawings, the scale of each structure is different from the actual structure in order to make each structure easier to understand.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 1, the tile installation method according to this embodiment is a method in which tiles 2 are attached onto existing wallpaper 1 attached to a wall surface Wa inside a room without removing the wallpaper 1.

[0010] As shown in Fig. 1, existing wallpaper 1 is affixed to a wall surface Wa inside a room. As shown in Fig. 7, the wallpaper 1 is formed, for example, by bonding a backing paper layer 11 and a cover layer 12. The wallpaper 1 is attached to the wall surface Wa by a wallpaper glue or the like applied to the wall surface Wa. The cover layer 12 may be treated to be water-repellent or oil-repellent, for example. The wallpaper 1 may be formed of three or more layers.

[0011] As shown in Fig. 2, the position is determined. In order to make the area to be worked on clear, the area is marked out and the area is marked out by surrounding it, for example, in a substantially rectangular shape with masking tape 31 or the like. If the area to be worked on is large, the area may be divided and the area to be worked on at one time may be marked out.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 3, positioning is performed to determine the position where the mark 4 will be placed in the next process. Depending on the size of a roller 42, which is a tool for placing the mark 4 shown in Fig. 4, a measuring instrument 33 such as a ruler or tape measure is used to place a mark 34 at the position where the mark 4 will be placed, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 4, a mark 4 is put on the surface 1a of the cloth 1. A roller 42 is used in which a shape 41 corresponding to the mark 4 is formed on the surface as an uneven surface. The roller 42 is, for example, cylindrical with an axis in one direction. The roller 42 is rotatable around the axis. The worker can put marks 4 continuously in the left-right direction by applying ink to the surface of the roller 42 and rolling the roller 42 in the left-right direction toward the wall surface Wa with the axis of the roller 42 facing up and down. After putting a row of marks 4 continuously in the left-right direction, the worker puts marks 4 in the same way in the upper or lower row. If the axis of the roller 42 is oriented in the left-right direction and the roller 42 is rolled in the up-down direction toward the wall surface Wa, the marks 4 can be put continuously in the up-down direction.

[0014] 7, the mark 4 is placed on the upper side of the surface 1a of the cover layer 12 of the cloth 1. Alternatively, part or all of the mark 4 may be embedded in the cover layer 12 of the cloth 1 so as to penetrate therein.

[0015] The mark 4 is preferably a pattern having a shape such as a triangle, rectangle, polygon, circle, or a letter, number, etc. Examples of the mark 4 are shown in Figs. 11 to 13. In Fig. 11, a plurality of rectangular marks 4A are arranged at intervals in the short side direction. In Fig. 12, a plurality of rectangular marks 4A and 4B having different short side lengths are arranged alternately at intervals in the short side direction. In Fig. 13, a circular mark 4C, a square mark 4D, and a triangular mark 4E are arranged in three rows vertically and repeatedly in the left-right direction. The shape of the mark 4 is not limited to the above patterns and can be set appropriately.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 5, roughening is performed. Roughening refers to rubbing the surface 1a of the cloth 1 to turn the surface 1a of the cloth 1 into a wear surface 1b. For roughening, a tool such as an electric sander 36 provided with sandpaper 35 is used. At least a part of the surface 1a of the cloth 1 and at least a part of the marks 4 made on the surface 1a of the cloth 1 are scraped and removed on the wear surface 1b. The roughening may be performed by manually scraping the sandpaper 35.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 7, the mark 4 before roughening is designated as a mark 4X. As shown in Fig. 8, the mark 4 after roughening is designated as a mark 4Y. As shown in Fig. 14, the mark 4X before roughening is dark in color and has a clear shape. As shown in the upper half of Fig. 15, the mark 4Y after roughening is light in color and has a completely unclear shape, or has a part of its shape scraped off and is unclear.

[0018] 6, the worker confirms that the formation of the wear surface 1b is complete by roughening the area surrounded by the masking tape 31 when the markings 4 become lighter in color and less clear in shape. A sample of the wear surface 1b where the markings 4 have been scraped off to a state where the tile 2 can be attached may be prepared, and the completion of the formation of the wear surface 1b may be determined by comparing the sample with the sample.

[0019] Once it is confirmed that the mark 4 has been scraped off to the point where the tile 2 can be adhered, adhesive 21 for adhering the tile 2 is applied to the wear surface 1b of the cloth 1 as shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 9, the adhesive 21 is applied to almost the entire wear surface 1b so as to cover the mark 4Y. The tile 2 is adhered to the adhesive 21, and the tile 2 is attached by overlapping it on the cloth 1.

[0020] In the tile installation method, at least a part of the surface 1a of the existing cloth 1 is scraped away to form a wear surface 1b, which enhances adhesion to the adhesive 21 applied to the tile 2. The tile 2 can be easily attached to the existing cloth 1 without removing the existing cloth 1.

[0021] At least a part of the mark 4 on the surface 1a of the cloth 1 has been scraped off, causing the mark to fade in color and become unclear in shape, making it difficult to see. The timing when the roughening is complete and tiles 2 can be attached can be determined by visual inspection.

[0022] The mark 4 is a pattern having a shape. Completion of roughening can be determined from a change in the shape of the mark 4.

[0023] Before attaching the marks 4 to the surface 1a of the existing cloth 1, positioning is performed to determine the positions for attaching the marks 4. The positions of the marks 4 to be attached are made clear, and the marks 4 are prevented from being attached in duplicate or from missing marks 4.

[0024] The marks 4 are continuously placed on the surface 1a of the existing cloth 1 using a roller 42 having a concave and convex shape formed on the surface 4 corresponding to the marks 4. The marks 4 can be efficiently placed on the surface 1a of the existing cloth 1.

[0025] When roughening is performed, the completion of roughening when the worn surface 1b is formed can be determined by comparing with the sample, so that the completion of roughening can be easily determined.

[0026] Since roughening is performed using sandpaper 35, roughening can be performed quickly, improving workability.

[0027] Roughening removes the water-repellent, oil-repellent, and other treatments on the surface 1a of the cover layer 12 of the cloth 1, improving adhesion with the adhesive 21 and allowing the tile 2 to be attached firmly.

[0028] Second Embodiment The tile installation method according to the second embodiment will be described mainly with reference to Figures 16 to 18. In the embodiments described below, configurations corresponding to those in the above-described embodiments may be given the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof may be omitted.

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 16, no mark 4 is placed on the surface 1a of the cloth 1. As shown in Fig. 17, roughening is performed to form a wear surface 1b. Roughening is performed until at least a portion of the surface 1a of the cloth 1 is scraped off and it is determined that a tile 2 can be adhered thereto. As shown in Fig. 18, adhesive is applied to almost the entire wear surface 1b. The tile 2 is adhered to the adhesive 21, and the tile 2 is attached by overlapping it on the cloth 1.

[0030] In the tile installation method, at least a part of the surface 1a of the existing cloth 1 is scraped away to form a wear surface 1b, which enhances adhesion to the adhesive 21 applied to the tile 2. The tile 2 can be easily attached to the existing cloth 1 without removing the existing cloth 1.

[0031] By eliminating the need to attach the markers 4, the construction time required to install the tiles 2 can be shortened.

[0032] The state after the tile 2 is removed from the wall surface Wa will be described for the first and second embodiments. For comparison, the state after the tile 2 is removed from the wall surface Wa will also be described for the case where no roughening is performed and the case where the conventional wallpaper 1 is peeled off and the tile 2 is attached.

[0033] In the first embodiment shown in Fig. 10 and the second embodiment shown in Fig. 19, when an attempt is made to remove the tile 2 from the wall surface Wa, the cover layer 12 of the cloth 1 is adhered to the tile 2 side by the adhesive 21, and the tile 2 is separated at the interface between the backing layer 11 and the cover layer 12 of the cloth 1. As shown in Fig. 26, it can be seen that the cover layer 12 of the cloth 1 is adhered to the back side of the tile 2, and the backing layer 11 remains on the wall surface Wa side.

[0034] As shown in Figures 20 and 21, in a construction method that does not involve roughening, adhesive 21 is applied to the surface 1a of the wallpaper 1 and a tile 2 is attached to it. As shown in Figure 22, when an attempt is made to remove the tile 2 from the wall surface Wa, the adhesive 21 is found on the tile 2 side, and the backing paper layer 11 and cover layer 12 of the wallpaper 1 remain on the wall surface Wa side. This is because the cover layer 12 has been treated to be water-repellent and oil-repellent, and therefore the adhesive strength between the cover layer 12 and the adhesive 21 is weak, resulting in separation between the cover layer 12 and the adhesive 21. As shown in Figure 27, it can be seen that the adhesive 21 is found on the back side of the tile 2, and the backing paper layer 11 and cover layer 12 have not peeled off.

[0035] As shown in Figures 23 and 24, in the conventional construction method, the cover layer 12 of the wallpaper 1 is peeled off, adhesive 21 is applied to the backing layer 11, and the tile 2 is attached. As shown in Figure 25, when an attempt is made to remove the tile 2 from the wall surface Wa, cohesive fracture occurs in the backing layer 11, and the backing layer 11 is broken partway through the thickness direction, with a part of the backing layer 11 remaining on the wall surface Wa side and the remaining part of the backing layer 11 attached to the tile 2 side.

[0036] Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is not limited to the examples. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above examples are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the marks 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E have been described as examples of the marks 4, but the present invention is not limited to these. The marks 4 may be solidly painted over substantially the entire surface 1a of the cloth 1. It may also be possible to determine whether a mark 4 has been made or scratched off only by color, rather than by shape.

[0038] In the embodiment described above, the surface 1a of the cloth 1 is partially scraped off by roughening, but the present invention is not limited to this. The entire cover layer 12 and the backing layer 11 of the cloth 1 may be scraped off by roughening.

[0039] In the embodiment described above, the roller 42 is rolled to make the marks 4 continuously, but this is not limited to the above. The marks 4 may be made using a stamp with a concave-convex shape corresponding to the marks 4 and ink built in. The marks 4 may be made by pressing a stamp with a concave-convex shape corresponding to the marks 4 against an ink pad and then pressing the stamp against the surface 1a of the cloth 1.
