METHOD FOR MAKING CERAMIC TILES FOR QUICK FLOOR OR WALL APPLICATION

The method comprises the steps of: preparing a basic ceramic mixture with clay, aluminium and iron oxides, forming semifinished flat tile products by subjecting the ceramic mixture to pressure , firing the semi-finished product at temperatures such to transform it into a solid object having partly crystalline and partly glass structure. According to the invention, subsequent to the firing there are provided the steps of:
- arranging the fired tiles in line so that they have the rear face facing upwards,
- spreading a continuous or discontinuous layer of adhesive
substance of the pressure sensitive type, in fluid/pasty state, on the rear face of the tiles,
- applying a non-adhesive covering sheet on the layer of adhesive substance, said covering sheet being easily removable,
- conditioning the tiles within packaging containers for the
transfer thereof to sales/application points.
Due to the invention, it is possible to produce adhesive tiles in a quick, mechanised and inexpensive manner, through a simple adaptation, using relatively simple and inexpensive machines, of a conventional production plant.
