Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2845714A1] The module consists of an under-layer (C1) of a synthetic material with a high mineral filler content and a projecting edge (2) at the back to ensure accurate spaces for a grouting mastic or other material. The under-layer is covered with a decorative and protective layer (C2) of printed polymer film, and this can be covered with an optional further layer of protective polymer film or varnish. The module consists of an under-layer (C1) of a synthetic material with a high mineral filler content and a projecting edge (2) at the back to ensure accurate spaces for a grouting mastic or other material. The under-layer is covered with a decorative and protective layer (C2) of printed polymer film, and this can be covered with an optional further layer of protective polymer film or varnish. Variants of the design can include panels with the appearance of a number of assembled modules with gaps between them, or the projecting edges can have interlocking male and female joints. The modules have a total thickness of 4 - 8 mm and a weight of 8 - 16 kg/sq m; they can be fixed to a supporting surface by adhesive applied to points on their backs.
