Tile made of stone or agglomerate or the like including means suitable for insertion on slippery surfaces

Abstract

It consists of a tile that is made according to criteria that permit it to be installed inside shower stalls or bath tubs or the like and in particular to be set on the base tray according to criteria that permit the tile to remain anchored in this position, offering advantages both from esthetic and practical standpoints. Basically tile ( 1 ) is made with at least one surface, and in particular the upper walking surface, which has been subject to a satin-finish or honing treatment that gives it anti-slip characteristics. In addition special fastening and shock-absorbing elements, indicated by number ( 2 ), are applied at the very least onto the lower support surface of tile ( 1 ), designed to adapt to the shower tray or other similar surface to permit the tile to be fastened and leaving a hollow space below for outflow of water.

1 . Tile ( 1 ) made of stone or agglomerate including means that permit it to be inserted on shower trays or the like characterized mainly by the fact of being made with at least one surface, and in particular the upper walking surface, which has been subject to a satin-finish or honing treatment that gives it anti-slip characteristics, and by the fact that special fastening and shock-absorbing elements ( 2 ) are applied at least on the support surface, designed to adapt to the shower tray or other similar surface to permit the tile to be fastened and leaving a hollow space below for outflow of water.  
   
   
       2 . Tile ( 1 ) made of stone or agglomerate for shower trays or the like, characterized by the fact that said fastening elements ( 2 ) can be composed of plugs made of elastic or flexible material having a certain amount of elasticity that gives them shock-absorbing capacity.  
   
   
       3 . Tile ( 2 ) made of stone or agglomerate for shower trays or the like, characterized by the fact that said fastening elements ( 2 ) can also be provided with adhesive surfaces so as to ensure maximum adhesion between shower tray and tile.  
   
   
       4 . Tile ( 1 ) made of stone or agglomerate for shower trays or the like, characterized by the fact that said fastening elements ( 2 ), which can be made of plastic with self-leveling, anti-slip and anti-algae characteristics, adapt to the surface of the shower tray giving greater safety and balance during use and prevent a whole series of well-known unpleasant accidents caused by the ease with which one may slip in showers.  
   
   
       5 . Tile ( 1 ) made of stone or agglomerate for shower trays or the like, characterized by the fact that all models of tiles have rounded corners and edges in order to prevent any possibility of bruises or cuts.  
   
   
       6 . Tile ( 1 ) made of stone or agglomerate for shower trays or the like, characterized by the fact that it can be produced in any shape of tile to conform to the base or the shower tray or the bath tub where they are to be applied either individually or in multiple modes.
