Benefits of technology

[0002]Buildings comprising a steel frame on which pre-formed panels are mounted may be erected quickly and more cheaply than buildings with brick or block facades.

Problems solved by technology

One of the problems with buildings constructed from pre-formed panels is that such panels can often be uninteresting aesthetically.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Referring to the drawings there is illustrated a composite cladding panel 1 according to the invention. The panel 1 comprises a steel skin or backing tray 2 and an external steel skin 3 with a layer of foam insulation material 4 such as a phenolic or polyurethane based foam material therebetween. The panel may be of any suitable type such as that described in our UK2325678A, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0025]One of the skins, in this case the external skin 3 has a plurality of mountings for fixing façade or cladding elements such as tiles 5 to the panel. The tiles may be brick, ceramic or the like to form a cladding for the panel. The mountings comprise rails 10 and fasteners 12 for fastening the rails 10 to the external skin 3.

[0026]Each fastener 12 comprises an internal clamping sleeve 15 and a bolt 16. One such fastening systems is that referred to in a Fablok (Trade Mark). A hole is first drilled through the skin 3 and the sleeve 15 is...

Abstract

The panel 1 comprises a steel skin or backing tray (2) and an external steel skin (3) with a layer of foam insulation material (4) such as a phenolic or polyurethane based foam material therebetween. One of the skins, in this case the external skin 3 has a plurality of mountings for fixing cladding elements such as tiles (5) to the panel to form a cladding. The mountings comprise rails (10) and fasteners (12) for fastening the rails (10) to the external skin (3). Each fastener (12) comprises an internal clamping sleeve (15) and a bolt (16). A hole is first drilled through the skin (3) and the sleeve (15) is inserted. On tightening of the bolt (16), the sleeve (15) splays and is clamped against the inside surface of the external skin (3), and the rails (10) are fixed to the panels. To enhance the peel strength of the composite panel a layer (30) of an adhesive is applied to the internal face of the external skin (3). The adhesive layer (30) is a pre-lay-down adhesive which is compatible with the material of the insulting core (4). The use of such an adhesive greatly enhances the peel strength of the panel and enables the panel to carry the additional load of the cladding tiles.

Description

INTRODUCTION[0001]The invention relates to a composite cladding panel of the type comprising an inner skin and an external skin with insulation foam material therebetween.[0002]Buildings comprising a steel frame on which pre-formed panels are mounted may be erected quickly and more cheaply than buildings with brick or block facades.[0003]One of the problems with buildings constructed from pre-formed panels is that such panels can often be uninteresting aesthetically. It is known to form such panels with various profiles and in various colours, however, there is still a need to provide an aesthetically different façade in some cases.[0004]This invention is directed towards providing a panel system which will address this need.STATEMENTS OF INVENTION[0005]According to the invention there is provided a composite cladding panel comprising an internal skin and an external skin with insulation material therebetween, one of the skins having a plurality of mountings for fixing tiles or the ...
