Method for finishing a substructure of a facade or a roof and fitting used.

The present invention relates to a method for finishing a substructure of a facade or a roof.

It is known for the finishing of a substructure of a facade or a roof, for example in the form of the inner leaf of the facade or of a roof, first to attach thermal insulation panels to each other on the substructure.

Thereafter, a finish is provided with a covering in the form of roof tiles, roof plates or the like in the case of a roof or in the form of decorative panels or plates against which masonry, plaster, or the like is applied in the case of a facade.

Before application from the coating is applied the substructure of it roof or facade first a supporting construction with slats or plates against which the

finish is provided.

According to a known technique, the insulation panels are placed between load-bearing wooden structures. This technique is not recommended because the supporting construction has considerable construction knots. Moreover, this technique has a rebel and significant risk of thermal bridges.

BE2017 / 5014

For this reason, continuous, uninterrupted insulation techniques are gaining ground, with the insulation panels joining together almost seamlessly.

For ventilated, insulated facades, today we distinguish two such continuous, uninterrupted techniques.

A first known continuous insulation technique uses a wooden framework in which the thermal insulation is applied in a first stage against or on the substructure and the wooden framework is then applied by means of adjusting screws.

Disadvantages of this first known technique are the following:

- ten different actions are necessary, which could lead to incorrect execution;

the technique is not convenient since it is very difficult to control and therefore also relatively labor-intensive and expensive;

- there are limitations to the technique, for example because a glued panel finish on the wooden framework is not recommended;

- the weight of the cover is completely absorbed by the adjusting screws, so that the weight of the cover has to be limited, which limits the freedom of choice of this cover.

A second known insulation technique with continuous uninterrupted insulation panels uses an aluminum frame with thermal break, whereby the supporting construction is provided by means of L3 provided for this purpose.

BE2017 / 5014 shaped brackets that are attached to the substructure with one leg and that pass through the insulation panels with the other leg to fix the supporting construction with battens or plates.

Weak points of this technique are the following:

- it is an expensive system and therefore lends less to the private market;

there is a real danger of creating thermal bridges as one has to cut out the insulation each time;

- the system is not suitable for slate finishing, ceramic finishing, etc.

The present invention aims to solve one or more of the foregoing and other disadvantages and weaknesses.

To this end, the invention relates to a method for finishing a substructure of a facade or a roof, in which first thermal insulation panels are fastened to each other on the substructure and then a covering is applied to a supporting construction in the form of slats, plates or the like fastened to the substructure, characterized in that the slats, plates or the like of the supporting structure are fixed to the substructure by means of one or more base plate fittings which are placed against the side of the insulating panels facing away from the substructure on the substructure and fitted with a control rod or screw with a head in the form of

BE2017 / 5014 a fastening element for the slats, plates or the like, in which the adjustment rods or adjusting screws can be moved relative to the base plate after placement of the accessories in order to align the slats, plates or the like of the supporting construction in a plane .

The method according to the invention is suitable for both new construction and renovation to insulate facades quickly, efficiently, continuously and durably.

The unique control system by means of the aforementioned fittings ensures that any facade can be aligned quickly and easily and is perfect for all ventilated facade applications.

The method is extra handy to align the supporting structure by screwing in and out the adjusting screws, for example using a drill with an adapted head to be able to grip the fastening elements. With the help of a ground laser, the support structure can be aligned very precisely and in a short time, which can save a considerable amount of time and also reduces man-hours.

In view of the simplicity of the method, there is also little risk of incorrect actions.

The facade composite, ceramic can be finished zinc, copper, applications, be in aluminum, concrete slab wood, plastic, fiber cement and with crepi, and

BE2017 / 5014 such more. The insulation panels form, as it were, a continuous insulation shield without thermal bridges.

The fittings can be easily attached to the substructure by screws that are screwed through holes provided in the base plate and through the insulation panels in the substructure.

Alternatively, the fittings may be bolted to a support lath which is placed against the side of the insulating panels facing away from the substructure and which is fixedly joined to the substructure by means of screws threaded through holes provided in the support lath and through the insulating panels in the substructure screwed on.

The method makes use of insulating panels which, along the length of one of their edges, are provided with a aforementioned support slat that is fixed in / on the relevant insulating panel and protrudes with a certain width over the aforementioned edge of the insulating panel to form a protruding lip.

Preferably, a laser is used for the alignment of the slats, plates or the like of the supporting construction, so that alignment can be carried out quickly and precisely.

The invention also relates to an accessory for use in the method according to the invention, wherein the accessory is composed of a base plate and of a

BE2017 / 5014 adjustment screw which can be screwed in and out with respect to the base plate in a direction perpendicular to the base plate and which is provided with a head in the form of a fastening element for fixing the slats, plates or the like of the supporting construction.

Such an attachment is very simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

It is sufficient to provide a threaded hole in the base plate, for example in the form of a nut that is welded to the base plate, where the adjustment screw can be screwed in.

The invention also relates to a combination of an attachment as described above and of a support slat, wherein the support slat is provided with a hole pattern with holes along two opposite edges which are at a fixed distance from each other such that the base plate of a attachment can be positioned on the support bar in such a way that holes of the base plate in position overlap with some holes of support bar.

That way the support bar and it attachment if necessary with the same screws on the substructure be attached. Preferably they are attachment and / or the support bar made of metal.

BE2017 / 5014

Insulation panels of the metal support lath are attached to the wall. The support slats then form a new fixed structure on which a non-ventilated finish (zinc, etc.) can be installed directly without the use of fittings.

In combination with the control profile, a ventilated wooden or metal supporting construction can be mounted very easily. This profile is designed in such a way that, depending on the weight of the facade cladding, it can be fastened in the metal support with 2 or 4 self-tapping screws. For very heavy facade cladding (concrete slab, stone strips, etc.), it is also possible to fix the control profiles via the pre-drilled screw holes in the metal support into the facade.

With the insight to better demonstrate the features of the invention, some preferred applications of a method according to the invention for finishing a substructure of a facade or of a roof and of a roof are described below, by way of example without any limiting character. accessory used therein, whether or not in combination with supporting lath, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

figure 1 schematically and in vertical section shows a facade finished according to the method of the invention;

figure 2 shows a front view according to arrow F2 of the facade of figure 1;

BE2017 / 5014 figure 3 shows a front view according to arrow F2 of the facade of figure 1, but without finishing, figure 4 schematically represents a perspective according to arrow F4 in figure 3;

Figure 5 shows the attachment on a larger scale

in figuu: r 4 with F5 is indicated, but then in a disassembled status r figure 6 a alternative embodiment from figure 3; figure 7 on larger scale shows the support bar That in figure 6 with F7 is indicated; figure 8 in frontal view a part from it attachment from figure 5 next to the support bar from figure 7; figure 9 on bigger one scale represents a cross-section according to line IX-IX in figure 6;

Figure 10 shows an alternative adjustment screw.

The finished facade 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is built up on a substructure 2 which in this case is formed by an inner leaf of a facade.

Insulated panels 3 are fastened to the substructure in a known manner, which connect with their edges 4 and 5, bottom edge 4 and top edge 5, respectively, and with their side edges, to form an almost closed insulating shell around the substructure 2 of facade 1.

Against the side 6 of the insulating panels remote from the substructure 2, an auxiliary part 7 according to the invention is used

BE2017 / 5014 applied as shown in Figure 5 and in the manner shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4 in case light finishing materials are used.

The accessory is composed of a base plate 8 and a control screw 9, preferably of metal.

The base plate 8 in this case is a Square base plate with a central screw passage 10 which in this case is formed by a nut 11 welded to the base plate 8 opposite a passage 12 in the base plate 8.

The base plate 8 is further provided with a first series of holes 13 near the corners of the base plate 8 at a fixed radial distance A from the central screw passage 10 and located at the corners of an imaginary square 14 shown in dashed line in Figure 8 with a side with length B.

A second series of holes 15 is provided in the base plate 8 at a fixed radial distance C from the central screw passage 10 which is smaller than the aforementioned distance A and which are located on the diagonals of the aforementioned square 14.

The base plate 8 is provided with reinforcements 16 radially extending with respect to the screw passage 10, for example in the form of punched recessed parts.

The adjusting screw 9 is formed by a threaded rod 17 which is screwed into the screw passage 12 and which is mounted on one

BE2017 / 5014 end is provided with a fastening element 18 which in this case is designed to fasten slats 19 and for this purpose is designed as a U-shaped pleated element with legs 20 extending parallel to the longitudinal direction XX 'of the threaded rod 17 all this so that a slat 19 can be attached between the legs 20

The use of such an attachment is very simple and is illustrated with reference to Figures 1 to 4 in the case of light finishing materials for finishing a facade or roof.

When the insulating panels 3 are mounted against the substructure 2, the fittings 7 with their holes 13 are arranged vertically one above the other against the insulating panels 3 and through screws 21 or the like through the holes 15 of the base plate 8 and through the insulating panels on the substructure 2 attached as shown in figure 1.

In addition, the adjustment screws of the placed

attachments or unscrewed to the fasteners 18 ten in comparison to each other to lines in the same flat, in this case in ssn vertical 25 flat, all this such that the slats 19 there in to be applied, together with this one there already in

be formed, form a flat aligned support structure 22 of, for instance, vertical or horizontal slats against which, for example, finishing plates or another covering 23 can be fastened against in a known manner.

BE2017 / 5014

Alignment is preferably performed using a laser, although other known techniques are also suitable.

Due to the fact that the supporting construction 22 is flat, the finished facade will automatically also be flat without the need for any other fitting or adjusting work. The covering 23 can be directly attached to the supporting construction 22.

For the most common heavier finishing materials 23, in most cases the fittings 7 are attached to the substructure 2 as shown in Figures 6 and 9 by means of a support slat 24 of metal or the like.

The support bar 24 then forms, as it were, a fixed structure which will absorb the forces exerted on the fittings 7 and distribute the forces of several attachments mounted on a support bar 24 better over the length of the support bar 24.

For this purpose, the supporting slat 24 is provided with holes 25 for the screws 21 with a hole pattern such that the fittings 7 can be aligned with their holes 13 opposite the holes 25.

The support slat 24 for this purpose has two series of holes 25, holes 25 'and holes 25 respectively, which are spaced apart from each other by two parallel lines of the support slat 24 along two parallel lines.

BE2017 / 5014 is equal to the aforementioned distance B between the holes 13 and for each series of holes 25 'and 25 an intermediate center distance E equal to half of the aforementioned distance B.

This allows the fittings 7 to be moved in aligned positions over half a width of the hole pattern of the holes 13 along the support slat 24.

In these aligned positions, the support slats 24 and fittings 7 may optionally be secured together with the same screws 21, although not necessarily.

The support slats 24 can form a seat at the location of the holes 25 for the head of the screws 21, so that the screws 21 with a countersunk head fit under the base plate 8 of the attachment 7.

In this case, alternatively, only the support slat 24 can be secured with the screws 21 in the substructure 2 and the fittings 7 can be screwed through their holes by means of self-tapping screws 26 or the like through the holes 15 in the base plate 8 in the support slat 24 as illustrated in figure 9.

The supporting slats 24 can still be provided with a corresponding series of holes 27 in order to make room for the nuts 11 of the fittings 7, if desired.

The support slats 24 can, in addition, be another aspect of the invention integrated in the insulation panels 3, the support slat 24 on the aforementioned side 6 of the

BE2017 / 5014 insulation panel 3 is attached and extends over the length of the bottom edge 4 of the insulation panel 3.

In the example shown, the support slat 24 with a certain width F protrudes over this edge 4 as a downwardly projecting lip 28 which can be arranged overlapping over an insulation panel 3 abutting this edge, the holes 25 being provided at the location of this lip 8 above one insulation panel 3 and the other holes 25 'at the adjacent insulation panel 3.

The supporting slats 24 thus always rest on two insulating panels 3.

The integrated support slats 24 can be provided along one edge with a perpendicularly folded lip 29 which is embedded in the material of the insulation panel 3 and provides greater stability.

If the insulating panels 3 are aligned with the hole pattern of their supporting slats 24 in vertical or horizontal direction, then it is easy to align the fittings 7 correspondingly vertically or horizontally by aligning them with their holes 13 to corresponding holes of the support slats 24 lying on a vertical or horizontal line.

The use of fittings 7 is applicable in ventilated applications where air gap 30 must be present between the insulation panels 3 and the cladding 23.

a ventilated

BE2017 / 5014

According to another aspect of the invention, such insulating panels 3 with integrated supporting slats 24 can also be used for non-ventilated applications without fittings 7 if the covering 23 is fitted against the insulating panels 3 without an air gap between the insulating and the covering. This is the case, for example, for a zinc finish. The holes 25 can then be used for mounting z clamp clips.

The invention is not only intended for the finishing of a facade, but is equally applicable to other substructures 2, such as a roof construction or the like.

It is clear that the adjusting screws 9 of the fittings 7 can be provided with fastening elements of various types, depending on whether the supporting construction is formed with slats, plates or the like. Fig. 10 shows an example of a control screw with a flat fastening element 18 which, as it were, extends in line with the threaded rod 17.

It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to aligning the supporting construction in a straight plane, but is also applicable for a curved plane.

It is clear that instead of a control screw 9, a depth-adjustable rod can also be used, which can for instance be held in its adjusted position with clamping means or the like.

BE2017 / 5014

The present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described as pre-described and shown in the figures, but a method according to the invention for finishing a substructure 2 of a facade or of a roof and of an accessory used therewith, whether or not in combination with supporting lath, all kinds of variations can be realized without departing from the scope of the invention.
