Abstract

A lining unit has a bottom part and side parts standing upright starting at the bottom part, wherein the bottom part and the side parts are made of a water-tight film. The bottom part is formed in one piece with at least one side part, and the lining unit is formed in a pre-fabricated manner for lining a room, such as a wet room. The side parts completely border the bottom part and form a right or obtuse angle with one another in a cross section parallel to the floor and have different heights. At least a first and a second side part have a first height and a third and further side parts, including an opening side part, have a second height, with the first height corresponding to a multiple of the second height.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A lining unit ( 1 ) comprising a bottom part ( 4 ) and side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) standing upright assigned to the bottom part ( 4 ), wherein the bottom part ( 4 ) and the side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) are made of a water-tight film and wherein the bottom part ( 4 ) is formed in one piece with at least one side part ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ), wherein the lining unit ( 1 ) is further formed in a pre-fabricated manner for lining a room ( 2 ), wherein the bottom part ( 4 ) is dimensioned according to a surface of a floor of the room ( 2 ), and wherein the at least one side part ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) is dimensioned according to a surface of a wall of the room ( 2 ), wherein the side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) completely border the bottom part ( 4 ) and the bottom part ( 4 ) and the side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) each have an inner and an outer surface, wherein the inner surfaces are further formed with an adherence structure ( 35 ) for an attachment of tiles ( 32 ), wherein the side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) further form an angle with one another in a cross section parallel to the floor with respect to their inner surfaces or outer surfaces or merge in a rounded manner and have different heights (a, b), namely at least a first and a second side part ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) of the side parts have a first height (a) and a third and optionally further side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ), including an opening side part ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ), have a second height (b), wherein the first height (a) corresponds to a multiple of the second height (b). 
     
     
         2 . The lining unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the first height (a) exceeds half a dimension of a largest side length (d) of the bottom part ( 4 ), wherein the first height (a) is preferably at least approx. 1.50 m up to 2.50 m. 
     
     
         3 . A lining unit ( 1 ), for shape-corresponding lining of a room ( 2 ), comprising a film ( 3 ) of a thermoplastic material, wherein the lining unit ( 1 ), based on a state assembled in the room ( 2 ), has a bottom part ( 4 ) and side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) running orthogonally to the bottom part ( 4 ), wherein the bottom part transitions seamlessly into a respective side part ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) and wherein respective adjacent side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) are connected to one another via a side seam ( 10 ), in an area of a corner ( 9 ) of the bottom part ( 4 ), wherein the side seam ( 10 ) is formed by means of two rim areas ( 11 ,  12 ) of adjacent side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ), which are placed one on top of the other, wherein one of the rim areas ( 11 ,  12 ) is folded, so that the side seam ( 10 ) has a three layers. 
     
     
         4 . A lining unit ( 1 ), for the shape-corresponding lining of a room ( 2 ), comprising a film ( 3 ) of a thermoplastic material, wherein the lining unit ( 1 ), based on a state assembled in the room ( 2 ), has a bottom part ( 4 ) and side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) running orthogonally to the bottom part ( 4 ), wherein the bottom part transitions seamlessly into the respective side part ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) and wherein respective adjacent side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ) are connected to one another via a side seam ( 10 ), in particular in the area of a corner ( 9 ) of the bottom part ( 4 ), wherein the lining unit ( 1 ) has an insertion part ( 14 ) in a transition area ( 13 ) between the bottom part ( 4 ) and at least one of the side parts ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ), for forming an outer corner ( 15 ), wherein the insertion part ( 14 ) forms a subarea ( 16 ) of the bottom part ( 4 ) and a subarea ( 17 ) of the at least one side part ( 5 ,  6 ,  7 ,  8 ). 
     
     
         5 . The lining unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 4 , wherein the subarea ( 16 ) of the bottom part ( 4 ) formed by means of the insertion part ( 14 ) is connected to an adjacent subarea ( 19 ) of the bottom part ( 4 ) via a bottom seam ( 18 ). 
     
     
         6 . The lining unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 5 , wherein the bottom seam ( 18 ) is formed by means of two rim areas ( 20 ,  21 ) of the adjacent subareas ( 16 ,  19 ) of the bottom part ( 4 ), which are placed one on top of the other. 
     
     
         7 . The lining unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the film ( 3 ) is made of polyethylene. 
     
     
         8 . The lining unit ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the film ( 3 ) is laminated with a non-woven fabric ( 22 ).
