Abstract: A roof tile comprising a decorative layer, having at least a ceramic body, and a support layer disposed below the decorative layer, wherein the roof tile comprises an upper edge, a lower edge which is opposite to the upper edge and two opposite side edges, said side edges being transversal to the upper edge, wherein said roof tile comprises at least one anchoring element for anchoring the roof tile to a structure or framework.

Abstract: A floor element for forming a floor covering, wherein the floor element comprises a decorative layer made of a ceramic material and a support layer arranged below this decorative layer, wherein the support layer comprises edges provided with coupling elements configured to realize a mechanical coupling with coupling elements of an adjacent floor element and wherein the floor element comprises an intermediate layer having a resin material and wherein said resin material comprises a modulus of elasticity greater than 0.1 GPa, preferably greater than 0.5 GPa, even more preferably greater than 1 GPa.

Abstract: The present invention relates to kiln car refractory furniture. In combination, (a) a kiln car having chassis that carries a platform; (b) a curb of a row of a plurality of hollow load-bearing refractory modules aligned along the periphery of the platform of the kiln car; and (c) an insulating amount of refractory insulation dispersed between the modules and laying over the platform of the kiln car. Each load-bearing hollow refractory module further comprises: (i) a hollow body formed of a refractory material having spaced walls and a top wall defining a hollow insulating space; (ii) at least one socket means for supporting a refractory post where the post in turn supports a load of refractory ware; (iii) a securing means for supporting the socket means spaced apart from the platform of the kiln car; and (iv) surfaces on the body adapted to interlock with surfaces on another abutting module.
