Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a metal tile for interior and exterior decoration for a building, and more particularly, to a metal tile for interior and exterior decoration for a building, which can be attached and constructed on the walls or bottoms of the building simply and firmly using mortar.

2. Description of the Related Art

In general, tiles which are attached and constructed on the inner or outer walls of buildings are ceramic tiles most of which are fabricated by mixing and molding pulverulent bodies made of natural clays, ores or synthetic inorganic materials and sintering the molded pulverulent bodies at a high temperature. The ceramic tiles are attached and constructed on the walls or bottoms of the building using mortar where cement, sand and water has been mixed.

Since these ceramic tiles have an excellent bonding strength with mortar in view of the features of the materials, respectively, they have merits that they can be attached and constructed on the walls or bottoms of the building conveniently.

By the way, since the ceramic tiles have a weak impact-resistant capability in view of the features of the materials, respectively, they can be easily broken even in the case of an external small impact. Accordingly, a considerably high carefulness is required in handling the ceramic tiles. Further, it is difficult to represent a variety of patterns in view of the feature of the fabrication of the ceramic tiles.

Meanwhile, an example of solving the above-described defects, metal tiles made of metal such as aluminum or stainless steel are provided.

In the case of the metal tiles, it is possible to allow a unique representation for a particular quality of color or texture on the surfaces of the metal tiles. Also, a variety of patterns and polishes can be represented on the surfaces of the metal tiles, in various methods such as porcelain enamel treatment, pulverulent coating, or scratch processing. Accordingly, the metal tiles have a high durability, an easy working efficiency, an easy cleaning, a small error in standard, and little possibility of damage.

However, since the metal tiles are of a weak bonding strength with mortar in view of the feature of the quality of the material, they should be attached and constructed by using adhesives or screws on the walls of a completely dried building. As a result, the conventional metal tiles cause much time and cost of constructing metal tiles to be consumed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a metal tile for interior and exterior decoration for a building which can be attached and constructed on the walls or bottoms of the building simply and firmly using mortar, to then make the states of the metal tiles attached and constructed on the walls or bottoms of the building stably maintained after construction of the metal tiles.

To accomplish the above object of the present invention, there is provided a metal tile for interior and exterior decoration for a building which can be attached and constructed on the walls or bottoms of the building, the metal tile comprising: at least one boding groove on the rear surface of the metal tile; and a gypsum board or sheet which is formed by filling a batter of gypsum having an excellent bonding strength with metal and mortar into the bonding groove and drying the filled batter of gypsum.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing the preferred embodiment thereof in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

FIGS. 1A and 1B are a perspective view showing a metal tile for interior and exterior decoration for a building according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a metal tile for interior and exterior decoration for a building according to the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A metal tile according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 2, a metal tile 100 according to the present invention can be used for interior and exterior decoration for a building. That is, the metal tiles 100 according to the present invention can be attached and constructed on the walls or bottoms 300 of the building. Here, the metal tile 100 includes at least one boding groove 110 on the rear surface of the metal tile 100, at the time of performing a forming work such as a molding or pressing work, and a gypsum board or sheet 120 which is formed by filling a batter of gypsum having an excellent bonding strength with metal and mortar 200 into the bonding groove 110 and drying the filled batter of gypsum.

A pattern portion 101 is formed on the front surface of the metal tile 100 so as to be appropriately adapted to an interior purpose. A scratch portion 102 of a net shape is formed on the rear surface of the metal tile 100 in order to improve a bonding strength with mortar 200.

Also, as being the cases, when the at least one bonding groove 110 is formed in the metal tile 100, at least one fixing protrusion 130 is formed on the bottom of the bonding groove 110. Accordingly, a gypsum board or sheet 120 which is formed by filling a batter of gypsum having an excellent bonding strength with metal and mortar 200 into the bonding groove 110 and drying the filled batter of gypsum can be more firmly fixed to and bonded with the bonding groove 110.

Also, as being the cases, a stop groove 111 is formed on the inner side wall of the bonding groove 110 of the metal tile 100. Accordingly, a gypsum board or sheet 120 which is formed by filling a batter of gypsum into the bonding groove 110 and drying the filled batter of gypsum can be more firmly fixed to and bonded with the bonding groove 110.

Also, it is preferable that the fixing protrusion 130 formed in the bonding groove 110 of the metal tile 100 is formed in the same height as that of the rear surface of the metal tile 100. As being the cases, the fixing protrusion 130 is formed in the height higher than that of the rear surface of the metal tile 100 so that the fixing protrusion 130 can be buried into the mortar 200.

The function of the metal tile 100 for interior and exterior decoration for a building having the above-described configuration will follow.

In the case that a metal tile 100 for interior and exterior decoration for a building according to the present invention is attached and constructed on the wall or bottom of the building, mortar 200 where cement, sand and water has been mixed is pasted on the rear surface of the metal tile 100. Then, the metal tile 100 is affixed on the wall 300 or bottom of the building, with the mortar 200 pasted on the metal tile 100 facing the wall 300 or bottom of the building. Accordingly, the metal tile 100 is completely attached and constructed on the wall 300 or bottom of the building.

Here, a solid-state gypsum board or sheet 120 filled in the bonding groove 110 of the metal tile 100 absorbs moisture of the mortar 200, and is attached to the mortar 200. As well, the mortar 200 is attached on the wall 300 or bottom of the building made of concrete. Thereafter, the mortar 200 is dried and thus the metal tile 100 is firmly bonded on the wall 300 or bottom of the building.

As described above, the metal tile for interior and exterior decoration for a building according to the present invention includes a gypsum board or sheet made of gypsum having a high bonding strength with respect to metal and mortar and formed on the rear surface of the metal tile. Accordingly, the metal tile can be conveniently and firmly attached and constructed using the mortar on the wall or bottom of the building which is completely dried or not. As a result, a working convenience and a construction accuracy of the metal tile can be enhanced.

As described above, the present invention has been described with respect to a particularly preferred embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and it is possible for one who has an ordinary skill in the art to make various modifications and variations, without departing off the spirit of the present invention.
