In the general building and furniture industries, but notably in naval and yacht applications, where lightweight marble linings and coverings are applied, problems arise, also of septic nature, due to water and other fluids stagnation, especially in and under linings and coverings of bathrooms and shower rooms. This invention presents a new product and method for solving the said problem. The product consists in lightweight marble slabs where the structural part is, for example, a high density polyurethane foam reinforced by a fiberglass cloth glued and "nailed" on it by epoxy resin and in a stratified high density polyurethane foam block reinforced in the same way. (The structural part of the lightweight marble could be done also with other materials, provided they are inherently waterproof and apt to be suitably reinforced). This invention presents also a method for preventing water and other fluids infiltration underneath the coverings and linings and, should the infiltration arise causing stagnation of liquids, proposing a way for eliminating their harmful and noxious effects. The latter being achieved by making the coverings and linings, of the floor and walls, easy to remove for inspection and to reinstall in place, by means of hooking and snapping devices. The feature of easily removing and reinstalling the linings and coverings in lightweight marble is new and has a wider scope and application. |
