10 . A decorative building element for storage-purpose to be used inside the wall in areas with wet floors such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, gardens, Turkish baths, and spas including:
niche body with at least one profile channel, which is large for the corner profiles to be attached and moved easily, and which ensures that the height differences arising from the thickness of the surface coatings and the mortar applied to the coatings are prevented, waterproofing membrane integrated with the mentioned niche body to wrap around the application wall and provide a complete seal, and the profile suitable for the dimensions of the niche, which allows the profile tiling process to be done easily, without the need to cut the edges of the ceramics at an angle.
11 . A method for application of decorative building elements of claim 10 for storage-purpose to be used inside the wall in areas with wet floors such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, gardens, Turkish baths, and spa including the process steps of:
defining the place where the niche body will be built, emptying the space in the dimensions of the ready niche body on the wall,
placing the finished niche body into the prepared wall space, fixing the niche body to the wall,
adhering the waterproofing membrane in the niche body to the wall,
placing the profiles in the profile channels on the niche body, and
the process of surface tiling.
12 . The decorative building element of claim 10 , wherein the profile includes at least one escape space that allows the adjustment of the differences that may occur due to the thickness difference of the surface coatings and the thickness of the adhesive mortar during the application.
13 . The decorative building element of claim 10 , wherein the niche body includes at least one support element that makes the said niche body more robust and durable.
14 . The decorative building element of claim 10 , wherein the niche body includes inclined surface.
15 . The decorative building element of claim 14 wherein the inclined surface has a slope of 0.1-5°.
16 . The decorative building element of claim 15 wherein the inclined surface has a slope of 1.5°.
17 . The decorative building element of claim 10 including a waterproofing membrane integrated into the niche body, which provides waterproofing by overflowing the edges of the application area since its dimensions are larger than the size of the niche.
18 . The decorative building element of claim 10 including a profile channel that allows the differences that may occur due to the thickness of the adhesive mortar to be adjusted easily during the application.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
