Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1359265A2] A base element (14), such as plywood, has a stainless steel plate (10) bonded to its upper surface with an overhang (15) allowing for application of a strip (20) of a sealing material therebelow to form a cavity sealed butt joint between tiles when they are laid side by side, usually as a floor surface. The base element (14) has tongues (17) and grooves (18) in respective edges to permit interengagement as expansion joints. A deformable, foamed plastics layer (22) may be bonded to the underside of the base (14) to allow for uneven substrate. <IMAGE>
