Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention concerns a floor element where there is provided at least one
side wall around a floor surface integrated with the floor for abutting on a wall
in a room in which the floor element is applied, where a drain is provided in the
floor surface and where a drain stub is mounted in a drain area which in use is situated
at the lowest part of the floor surface.
[0002] The invention furthermore concerns a method for making a floor element where there
is provided at least one side wall around a floor surface integrated with the floor
for abutting on a wall in a room in which the floor element is applied, where a drain
is provided in the floor surface and where a drain stub is mounted in a drain area
which in use is situated at the lowest part of the floor surface.
Background of the Invention
[0003] The new wet room regulations require wet room precautions everywhere in the shower
booth. Presently, this is effected by applying a kind of rubber skin in a layer thickness
of about 2 mm, or by fitting a kind of plates. By the said means it will still be
difficult to ensure a 100% sealing at the joints, as e.g. the floor will always work
in a different way than the walls. It will also be difficult to ensure sealing between
floor and drain bowl/drain depression.
[0004] Various cast floors forming the bottom in wet rooms and in shower booths are known.
Such cast floors are cast on site. A drain with drain bowl is selected depending on
the shape of the room and/or shower booth. It is possible to mount a drain first and
then to cast the floor around the drain. Alternatively, a drain is mounted after casting
the floor. In both cases, a sealing joint is to be laid around the drain.
[0005] Moreover, sealing joints are to be laid at the edges of the room/shower booth where
the floor surface meets the wall surfaces.
[0006] It is a common problem in bathrooms or other wet rooms that the joints break apart.
The joints are often made of silicone. It is not uncommon that such joints will loose
adhesion to floor, wall or drain bowl after three to four years.
[0007] Home buyer's reports with marked deficiencies associated with shower booths or wet
rooms due to insufficient or defective sealing joints at the bottom of the shower
booths will thus appear very frequently.
[0008] Also, it is known with shower booth bottoms which are pre-cast in plastic, glass
fibre, steel or ceramics. Such bottoms may be put in place in a bathroom. Together
with walls and doors, the bottom will form a complete shower booth or shower cabinet.
This will usually be a loose item which may be quickly fitted and removed again. Use
of such construction usually necessitates that the floor upon which the bottom is
placed, is made according to common sealing requirements for a wet room. The design
is inexpedient, as interspaces appear between the bottom and the floor in the room.
Moreover, there will be a risk of leaks in pipes connecting a drain from the bottom
and a floor drain in the room.
[0009] Such pre-cast shower booth bottoms will usually be bowl-shaped, as a floor surface
and side wall extending up from the floor surface will be formed integrally. In such
bottoms there will be provided a hole in which a drain or drain bowl is usually retrofitted.
Thus there may be a risk of leaking in the rubber joint around the drain in such a
pre-cast shower booth bottom.
[0011] US 6,643,863 B1 represents the closest prior art and discloses all features mentioned in the introductory
paragraph.
[0012] This document does not disclose:
- that the floor element is cast in polymeric concrete
- that the drain is made integral with the floor element,
- that the floor surface includes a drain depression with a bottom
- that a drain stub is cast into the bottom of the drain depression,
- that the drain depression has an encircling wall.
[0013] Thus the known floor element does not provide a secured most loaded area with regard
to water in a bathroom, namely a shower booth.
Object of the Invention
[0014] It is thus the object of the present invention to indicate a floor element of the
type specified in the introduction which may be used as floor plate and as a shower
booth basin, and which simultaneously enables avoiding the drawbacks of the floor
designs that are cast on site and at the same time attain the advantages of prefabricated,
pre-cast shower booth bottoms.
[0015] Furthermore, it is desired to secure the most loaded area with regard to the water
in a bathroom, namely the shower booth, that the bottom and a section up along the
walls are 100% sealed so that the remaining precautions can be made much more easily.
Description of the Invention
[0016] According to the present invention, this is achieved with a floor element of the
type specified in the introduction, which is peculiar in that the floor element is
cast in polymeric concrete, that the drain is made integral with the floor element,
that the floor surface includes a drain depression with a bottom which is countersunk
relative to the remaining part of the floor surface which has an even fall towards
the drain depression, that a drain stub and/or a water trap is cast into the bottom
of the drain depression and that the drain depression has an encircling wall, the
upper edge of which being disposed with spacing above the surrounding part of the
floor surface, in order that the floor surface may be covered with a surface covering,
e.g. tiles, as the said spacing corresponds to the thickness of the surface covering.
[0017] The method according to the invention is peculiar in that the element is cast in
polymeric concrete, that the drain is made integral with the floor element, that the
floor surface includes a drain depression with a bottom which is countersunk relative
to the remaining part of the floor surface which has an even fall towards the drain
depression, that a drain stub and/or a water trap is cast into the bottom of the drain
depression, and that the drain depression has an encircling wall, the upper edge of
which being disposed with spacing above the surrounding part of the floor surface,
in order that the floor surface may be covered with a surface covering, e.g. tiles,
as the said spacing corresponds to the thickness of the surface covering.
[0018] By drain depression as used in the present application is meant any kind of depression
or recess. Thus it does not need to be an elongated drain recess. The drain depression
may be square, edged, round or have other shapes in which the drain stub is mounted.
The floor surface surrounding the drain depression will be at a level higher than
the bottom of the drain depression, so that water from the floor surface of the element
will run towards the drain depression and then via a fall in the drain depression
itself towards the drain stub/water trap which is cast into the bottom of the drain
depression. It is possible to make a water trap with so low installation height that
the entire water trap can be cast into the bottom, but it is also possible to let
a stub from a water trap pass through the bottom and have a drain bowl under the bottom.
[0019] Since the drain depression has a drain depression wall, the upper edge of which being
provided above the surrounding part of the floor surface, it becomes possible to make
a traditional surface covering with linoleum, tiles or other, only ensuring that the
drain depression wall has a thickness corresponding to the thickness of the surface
covering. Subsequently, it will be possible to place a grate element in the drain
depression, if desired. Such a grate element may be disposed on a recess in the drain
depression wall or rest directly on the bottom, so that the surface of the drain grate
will correspond to the upper edge of the wall and thereby the level of the floor surface
in the finished shower booth basin.
[0020] With a system according to the present invention, it will be possible to make a unit
cast in one with integrated drain so that a guaranteed sealing is ensured between
floor and drain stub/drain bowl and between floor surface and walls in the room where
the element is used. Moreover, one may also ensure a guaranteed sealed shower booth.
Thus there will be no risk that water draws down into the floor around drain stubs
or drain bowls or into the adjacent walls and give rise to damages due to moisture
and/or fungal growth. An element according to the present invention will be suited
for any type of building, but will particularly be suited for multi-storey buildings.
[0021] With a system according to the invention there is thus achieved an advantage known
from the prior art cast-in-one shower booth basins, but may at the same time it may
be used in a design in which the construction can be made, as it is known with common
cast floor constructions in wet rooms and in shower booths. The only difference will
be that the element is placed on the coarse concrete layer before casting the wearing
layer. Polymeric concrete is advantageous as it may be finished and surface coated
in a way similar to common concrete, if only treatment of the joints is performed.
Thus it will be possible to provide the floor element with tiles, if desired.
[0022] According to a special embodiment, the floor element according to the present invention
is peculiar in that around the floor surface there are provided several side walls
integrated with the floor for forming a bowl-shaped basin for the formation of a shower
booth basin.
[0023] By this new system it is ensured that the most loaded area with regard to the water
in a bathroom, namely the shower booth that the bottom and a section up along the
wall, preferably minimum 100 mm, are 100% sealed. This renders remaining precautions
much easier. A corresponding height of the side walls will, however, also be used
even if there is only one or two side walls for disposition against the walls in a
room where the element is used as a part of the floor surface of the room.
[0024] According to a particular embodiment, the element is peculiar in that the drain stub/water
trap is formed with a plastic stub which is surface coated on the part passing through
the bottom wall and cast therein. Here it is noted that the surface treatment will
primarily be provided in the form of grinding and coating with glue and sand which
ensure adhering to the polymeric concrete. By such a construction, a particularly
secure sealing of the drain is achieved, so that there is no risk of liquid seeping
out in the area around the drain.
[0025] The plastic stub is normally to be pretreated over a distance extending more than
20 mm, as such dimension would be sufficient thickness on the bottom wall in a floor
element, irrespective whether it is provided in the form of a floor plate or a shower
booth basin. Usually there may be used a stub with any diameter. Particularly advantageous
will be a standard diameter, e.g. 110 mm stub, which is cast on the bottom wall of
the element.
[0026] It is noted that the drain stub/water trap does not have to be located in a drain
depression, as the floor element can be made as a floor surface where there is a slope
towards the drain stub/water trap, which then will constitute the drain area itself.
Thus it will be possible to make the floor element as a traditional basin with a drain
disposed at the centre of the basin, or make the floor element with the drain at a
side wall or a corner of the floor surface of the floor element.
[0027] The side walls in the floor element may have any suitable height. It has appeared
sufficient to use a height between 100 and 200 mm. Sufficient height is hereby ensured,
where no seeping of water can occur in wet rooms. At the upper edge of the side walls,
there may be established a traditional connection to walls disposed above in a room
or side walls for a shower booth. Such walls may be provided as side walls that constitute
a part of the building construction, or may be separate, independent side walls on
a shower booth.
[0028] In order to make the element particularly applicable in connection with traditional
construction, according to an advantageous embodiment it is peculiar in that it is
adapted to be mounted on a coarse concrete layer for a surrounding floor, and that
the floor surface has a thickness corresponding to the wearing layer of the surrounding
floor in order to provide the same level for the floor surface of the finished floor
inside the element and on the surrounding floor. It will thus be possible to establish
floor surfaces in the element, e.g. in a shower booth and the surrounding floor in
the wet room at the same level. Alternatively, it is possible to provide different
levels between the floor surface of the element and the floor surface in the surrounding
room.
[0029] According to a further embodiment, the element according to the invention is peculiar
in that the internal surface of the element is surface treated, preferably by grinding
or sandblasting, to ensure adhering of a surface covering which is bonded/glued permanently
to the element. By such a design there is achieved a particularly secure bonding of
the surface covering, e.g. tiles, wet room vinyl or similar that may be fastened to
the element. Since the polymeric concrete in itself constitutes a cast-in-one, sealed
structure, there will be no special requirements to the sealing of the surface covering.
However, it will be advantageous to provide a secure attachment of such a surface
covering to the element.
[0030] When a floor is made around a drain by using a floor element according to the invention,
it will be preferred that a coarse concrete layer for a surrounding floor is cast,
that the cast floor element is mounted upon the coarse concrete, and that a wearing
layer is cast on the surrounding floor with a thickness so that the same level is
provided on the surface of the finished floor inside the floor element and on the
surrounding floor. By making the floor of the wet room in this way, it will in a particularly
simple way be possible to establish the same level for the surface on the floor in
the element and for a surrounding floor.
[0031] According to a further embodiment, the element according to the invention is peculiar
in that at the bottom of the drain depression wall at the top side of the floor surface,
drain holes are provided extending into a drain (the water trap) in order hereby to
drain away any water seeping down into the tile bonding, so that it is ensured that
this water is not trapped, thereby causing loose tiles and possibly sour odour of
moisture.

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0033] Firstly, it is to be noted that the accompanying drawing illustrates non-limiting
embodiments of the invention. Other embodiments will be possible within the scope
of the present invention as defined in the claims.
[0034] Figs. 1 and 2 show a shower booth basin 1. The shower booth basin has a floor surface
2 which is cast in one with side walls 3 for forming a bowl-shaped basin. At one side
of the floor surface 2 there is provided a drain depression 4 in which there is provided
a drain stub 5. The drain stub 5 will be a plastic stub which at the part 6 embedded
in a bottom wall 7 is surface treated by grinding and application of a mixture of
glue and sand. The drain stub may hereby adhere in a particularly secure way to the
polymeric concrete used for making the shower booth basin 1.
[0035] As it particularly appears from Fig. 1, the drain depression 4 is provided as an
elongated drain depression at one side of the shower booth basin and extending largely
in parallel with a side wall 3. The drain stub 5 is provided at the centre of the
drain depression, but may be provided at other positions. It is only to be ensured
that there is a drop towards the drain stub 5 on the bottom 8 of the drain depression
(Fig. 2). Furthermore, it is to be ensured that the floor surface 2 has a fall in
direction of the arrow 9, so that water can run towards the drain depression 4. There
are provided two rim areas 10 in the basin having a fall directed inwards against
the central part and in wards against the drain depression 4.
[0036] As it particularly clearly appears from Fig. 2, the drain depression has a drain
depression wall 11. The wall 11 has an upper edge 12 provided at a height 13 above
the surrounding part of the floor surface 2. Hereby it will be possible to apply a
surface covering in the shower booth basin. The surface covering will have a thickness
corresponding to the height 13.
[0037] As it appears from Fig. 2, a drain depression provided in the shower booth basin
will have a bottom side 14 located at a level which is lower than the bottom side
15 of the bottom wall 16.
[0038] As alternative to the drain depression, a drain stub 5 will be provided directly
in the bottom wall 16.
[0039] Figs. 3-5 show a second embodiment of a shower booth basin 1' having side walls 3
at the sides extending upwards so that they have an internal height of minimum 100
mm. The shower booth basin 1' has a drain depression 4 provided as an elongated drain
depression or trench 4 at one side of the shower booth basin and extending largely
in parallel with a side wall 3. There is a fall in the direction of the arrow 9. In
a corner area 17, there is intended an entrance to the shower booth, and the side
wall 18 may here be high or low or sloping to facilitate access, e.g. for wheelchair
users.
[0040] In Fig. 4 appears a sectional view according to the arrow IV-IV in Fig. 3. It appears
that the drain depression wall 11 around the drain depression 4 is provided with drain
holes 19 at the bottom of the basin or the floor surface 2. A fall in the floor surface
2 is formed between the drain holes 19, ensuring that water is conducted to the drain
holes and are not caught in tile bonding laid upon the sealed polymeric concrete.
This would otherwise cause the tiles to loosen, and sour odour may arise from the
still water in the tile bond.
[0041] In Fig. 5 appears a sectional view and an enlarged detail viewed according to the
arrow V-V in Fig. 3. It appears that the drain depression 4 has a drain depression
wall 11 along one side of a depression 20 in the bottom wall 16. The drain depression
4 may be provided with a stainless edge cast into the basin 1'. The height of the
wall 11 corresponds to the height of tile bonding and tile, and there will be drain
holes in the wall 11. An internal corner 21 for a grate 22 is formed in the wall 11
and in the side wall 4. At the bottom of the depression 20 there is embedded a drain
stub 5.
[0042] Figs. 6-7 show a further embodiment of an element according to the invention in the
form of a floor plate 23. The floor plate 23 has a side wall 3 and a largely rectangular
drain 24 which is disposed at the centre of the floor surface 4. Alternatively, the
drain 24 may be disposed close to the side wall 3. The floor plate 23 may have a side
length between 400 and 7000 mm, preferably about 500 mm, and the drain 24 may have
side length between 100 and 200 mm, preferably about 150 mm.
[0043] It appears that the sectional view in Fig. 7 is a drain stub 5 embedded in the bottom
wall 16. The drain stub can be integrated with a drain bowl 25 which is also embedded
in the bottom wall via a flange 26 in order to establish a secure sealing between
the floor and the drain bowl/drain stub. A grate 22 is provided above the drain bowl
25 as it rests on an internal corner in the drain depression wall 11 surrounding the
drain 24.
