[0001] The subject of the invention is a prefabricated mounting floor or wall panel intended
for installation in closed rooms, in particular in sanitary rooms, e.g. bathrooms.
The invention also relates to a system comprising a plurality of prefabricated finish
mounting panels intended for use in finishing of these rooms.
[0002] In the current state of technology, the basic technology for lining walls and floors
with ceramic tiles in closed facilities, i.e. in residential and commercial buildings
with all walls, ceilings and floors at the time of commencement of works, is their
laying on technological layers directly on the premises of the facility. Currently,
the wall and / or floor cladding consists of the following layers: plaster or screed
as the initial layer, waterproofing layer, tile adhesive layer, proper tiles, grouts
between the tiles.
[0003] The individual layers are applied manually, similar to the processing of ceramic
tiles, e.g. cutting, priming. Even in the case of simple solutions, the involvement
of specialists in the field of plaster and / or plasterboard and tilers is required.
Each of the above layers, depending on the detailed material, needs a time unit specified
by the manufacturer in order to obtain full functional properties. It ranges from
a few hours to several days, so the entire process from the base layer to the final
finish may take up to 1 month. A long period of finishing works is a significant inconvenience
of the construction or renovation process. Another inconvenience is the large amount
of waste that has to be removed from the assembly site, as well as noise and dust
resulting from cutting the materials.
[0004] In case of construction projects, e.g. hotels, dormitories in prefabricated technology
with a repeatable layout of rooms, bathroom prefabrication solutions for open facilities
are used. An open space is an object that has floors and walls, but no ceilings. Prefabrication
of bathrooms takes place in the production plant inside a metal structure, e.g. a
container, in accordance with the basic technology of lining walls and floors. The
whole structure resembles a container and is mounted from the top and then the ceiling
of a given floor is closed. The disadvantage of this method is the need to determine
the final arrangement of the bathrooms before starting the construction process.
[0005] The object of the invention is to eliminate the indicated drawbacks resulting from
the prior art. The aim of the invention is a structure and a system that significantly
speeds up assembly work in rooms and provides flexibility in the arrangement of rooms.
[0006] The essence of the invention is a prefabricated mounting panel comprising a structural
core connected on at least one side through a technological layer with a finishing
layer.
[0007] Preferably, the prefabricated mounting panel includes openings for connection to
another surface and to another panel.
[0008] Preferably, the construction core is a base plate, or a base plate connected to an
intermediate plate.
[0009] Preferably, the construction core is a chipboard or a multi-layer gypsum plasterboard,
a multi-layer board made of mechanically connected and glued two gypsum plasterboards,
MDF board, construction board, silicate board, concrete, reinforced concrete, wood-based
board.
[0010] Preferably, the construction core of the panel is in the form of a self-supporting
wall, where the core consists of two or more vertical ribs and at least four horizontal
reinforcement plates connected thereto , between which there is a filling, and on
the outer sides of the core (2a) there are intermediate plates. Preferably, two reinforcements
are provided at the bottom and top of the core and a horizontal longitudinal groove
is provided between the two upper reinforcement plates and the two lower reinforcement
plates .
[0011] Preferably, the intermediate plate of the prefabricated mounting panel is a gypsum
plasterboard.
[0012] Preferably, the technological layer of the prefabricated mounting panel is an adhesive
layer in the form of an adhesive.
[0013] Preferably, the technological layer of the prefabricated mounting panel comprises
a hydro-insulating layer applied to the core and applied thereto, an adhesive layer
in the form of an adhesive, preferably the technological layer also comprises a hydro-insulating
tape applied to the edges of the core.
[0014] Preferably, the finishing layer of the prefabricated mounting panel comprises ceramic
or stoneware or stone tiles with grouts therebetween.
[0015] Preferably, the corners of the core of the prefabricated mounting panel are provided
with mechanical or chemical reinforcements.
[0016] The invention also relates to a system of prefabricated mounting panels and / or
walls that comprises a plurality of prefabricated mounting panels. The single panel
comprises a construction core connected via a technological layer to the finishing
layer. The system also includes means for joining the panel to other surfaces and
for joining between the panels.
[0017] The advantage of the invention is the possibility of quick final assembly of the
wall and floor finishing of rooms, in particular bathrooms, directly to raw walls
and floors and to frame structures. The invention also has the advantage that it can
be used as a self-supporting structure, for example a finished partition wall within
a system of finishing mounting panels.

[0019] Embodiments of the Invention.
[0020] Fig. 1 shows in an illustrative way the idea of building a room with prefabricated
mounting panels 1, hereinafter referred to in short as panels 1. The system of panel
building of walls and floors consists in joining a number of panels 1 containing a
load-bearing construction core 2 and the required technological layers, such as primes,
waterproofing, adhesives, plasters and the finishing layer, in particular in the form
of grouted ceramic, stoneware or stone tiles or other top finishing layers. The panels
1, prefabricated according to needs and / or design, are joined at the installation
site to one another and to the unfinished surfaces of the walls and / or floors. The
panels 1 can also be applied to stud walls and to walls outside buildings.
[0021] Panel 1 (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7) comprises a plurality of
interconnected layers in the form of a construction core, panels, technological layers
and finishing layers .
[0022] The construction core 2 (Fig. 3) is a base plate 3, or a base plate 3 connected to
the intermediate plate 4, preferably the intermediate plate is a plasterboard. The
base plate 3 can be a single chipboard, OSB board (Oriented Strand Board) or multi-layer
OSB board, or a composite panel, or a multi-layer board made of mechanically connected
and glued two plasterboards, MDF board or any other construction board, for example
silicate, concrete, reinforced concrete board, wood-based board. The base plate 3
may be a combination of two or more of the above-mentioned boards. Construction core
2 is in a preferred embodiment self-supporting, i.e. it is strong and rigid enough
to be loaded with successive layers. The intermediate board 4 may be a plasterboard.
[0023] Construction core 2 in a preferred embodiment has holes 5 (Fig. 7) for mechanical
connection with the wall, e.g. in the form of a screw connection 16 or screws passing
through sleeves embedded in the core 2, and for mechanical connection with the second
construction core 2, e.g. in the form of a fastening connection 6. The mechanical
connection with the wall should be strong enough to allow transferring the weight
of the panel 1 to the existing wall 7. The clamping connection 6 may take the form
of a turnbuckle or other known connection allowing the adjustment of e.g. bolts and
spacers. In a preferred example the connection is removable in order to easily replace
the previously seated panel 1. The openings 5 are most preferably at the top and bottom
of the core 2 such that the openings 5 and the mechanical connections remain obscured
by them after the floor and ceiling panel is applied.
[0024] Technological layer 8 in its simplest example is an adhesive coating, e.g. glue 9
under the finishing layer 10, e.g. glue under tiles. In the example for sanitary rooms,
e.g. for bathrooms, the technological layer is also a hydro-insulating layer 11 beneath
the adhesive coating 9. The hydro-insulating layer 11 can be any known and used non-moisture
permeable coating, e.g. a liquid film or a non-woven fabric or insulating tape. The
hydro-insulating layer can also consist of many layers, depending on the needs and
conditions of the built room.
[0025] The finishing layer 10 is preferably ceramic tiles with a grout between them. The
finishing layer can be stoneware or stone tiles, also with a grout. The finishing
layer 10 can also be any other interior surface, such as a glass surface or a plastic
surface.
[0026] The edges of panel 1 in an exemplary embodiment have a seal 12 which seals the connection
to another panel 1. The seal 12 may also take the form of a gasket that can be attached
to the core 2. An example of a gasket is a flexible PVC gasket, e.g. type H 4 mm.
Another tight connection between the panels 1 can be sealing tapes and / or silicone
grouts at the joints of the panels 1.
[0027] The panel 1, in the example of mounting to the wall (Fig. 3), is positioned on the
wall or the floor by means of a leveling and plumbing system enabling the positioning
of the panel with an accuracy of 0.1 mm in relation to three axes, in particular by
means of positioning discs 13 and studs 14, fixed at the corners of the panel 1. The
space between the wall 7 and the construction core 2 can be filled with a filling
15, for example with polyurethane foam. In another example, the rear and bottom surfaces
of the construction core 2 have a surface that allows chemical bonding with the substrate
- a wall or a floor, in particular in the form of an OSB board, primed for connection
with a mounting foam.
[0028] The corners and edges of the construction core 2 of the panel 1, in an exemplary
embodiment, may have mechanical reinforcements, in particular by mechanical embedding
or gluing metal corners in the form of profiles made of aluminium sheet or galvanized
sheet or plastic, or chemical - soaked with hardening agents such as a chemical anchor,
preventing deformation dimensional or mechanical damage that may affect the accuracy
of connection with other panels 1.
[0029] Panel 1 may also have prefabricated openings and mounting means for connection to
other prefabricated modules that may contain decorative coatings. An example of such
additional modules are plasterboard modules according to application P.426380, which
modules can be used to cover electrical or plumbing and gas installations. Panel 1
may have prefabricated openings for accommodating other indoor objects, e.g. etc.
[0030] The panelled prefabricated confinement system comprises a plurality of prefabricated
panels 1 (Fig. 1) and means for joining and joining existing walls with the panels.
The means of connection between panels and walls are indicated in the description
of panel 1 (Fig. 3, Fig. 5-7) and at panel 17 (Fig. 4a, b, c).
[0031] The panel prefabrication system may also include a self-supporting panel 17 (Figs.
4a 4b, 4c) in the form of a wall. The panel 17 has a core 2a which consists of two
or more vertical ribs 18 made of chipboard, e.g. OSB boards or boards with similar
strength and technological properties, and at least four horizontal reinforcing plates
19 made of chipboard, e.g. OSB boards or boards with similar strength and technological
properties. The reinforcing plates 19 are connected to the ribs 18 and preferably
are provided at the bottom and top of the panel 17. The core 2a has a filling 20 between
the ribs 18 and the plates 19. The filling 20 can be made of polystyrene, polyurethane
foam, mineral wool or rock wool. Between the two upper reinforcement plates 19 and
the two lower reinforcement plates 19 there is a horizontal longitudinal slot 21 acting
as a groove for a corresponding connecting element, e.g. a tongue, for connection
to the ceiling and the floor. The core 2a of the panel 17 has on the outside attached
intermediate plates 4 in the form of plasterboards or boards of similar properties.
On one or both sides, the panel 17 has a technological layer 8 and a finishing layer
10 similar to the panel 1.
[0032] In a panel prefabrication system, the individual panels 1 and 17 include seals 12.
The seal 12 may also take the form of a gasket that can be attached to the core 2,
2a. An example of a gasket is a flexible PVC gasket, e.g. type H 4 mm. Another tight
connection between the panels 1, 17 can be sealing strips and / or silicone grouts
at the joints of the panels 1, 17.
