Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of building construction or renovation and more particularly provides an improved method and apparatus for constructing tacades.
  • existing facades such as those for the exterior walls of houses may comprise a brickwork veneer which, with new constructions may be erected immediately adjacent the interior structural members or, in the case of renovations of existing dwellings is normally disposed as a cladding over the pre-existing exterior surface which may be timber or fibreboard.
  • the brickwork although forming little if any, part ot the actual load bearing structure of the building is nevertheless self-supporting ana thus requires the provision of suitable foundations and -a substantial degree of expertise for its construction. The proper erection of such facades is therefore beyond the capabilities of the average handyman and requires the employment ot expensive skilled labour.
  • the channel member according to this invention is accordingly formed to provide one or more elongated lips for engaging in said grooves, preferably this member may comprise a central web to receive a fixing means such as a screw, rivet or nail with the lips formed along the upper and lower edges thereof.
  • a fixing means such as a screw, rivet or nail
  • the web is also shaped so that the lips operate to bias the tiles against the surface of the structure in an interlocking relationship.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of cladding tile according to this invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a preferred means of fixing the tile of Fig. 1 to a support surface;
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a preferred form of channel member according to this invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative means of fixing the tile of Fig. 1 to a support surface using the channel member depicted in Fig. 3;
  • Figs. 5 to 8 show further examples of the abovementioned cladding tiles affixed over a support structure
  • Fig. 9 shows a second embodiment ot a cladding tile according to th s nvention
  • Fig. 10 shows a second embodiment of a channel member according to this invention.
  • Fig. 11 shows the preferred means of fixing the tile shown in Fig. 9 to a support surface using the channel member of Fig. 10;
  • Fig. 12 shows a preferred form of spacing rib for use with this invention.
  • the tile is designated generally as 1 and comprises a planar surface 2 which forms the outer surface of the cladding and an inner face 3 adapted to engage with the channel member. More specifically face 3 is shaped to provide a pair of elongated grooves 5 extending along its length. Each of these grooves first extends inwardly of the tile at 5A and then transversely at 5B so as to form a ridge 5C on one side.
  • the surface areas 6 and 7 between and adjacent these grooves may also be shaped to a concavity to reduce the weight of the tile, and also accommodate any electrical cables or the like disposed along the support surface.
  • the upper edge of the tile as shwon in Figs.
  • 1 and 2 is of a stepped con iguration to form a tongue 8 having an outer surface 8A which is inclined towards the inner face 3 and terminates in the flat upper edge face 9.
  • This inclined surface 8A enables the tile to interfit with the lower undercut edge 10 of an adjacent identical tile as shown in Fig. 2 and also provides a neat and aesthetically pleasing recessed joint 11 therebetween.
  • This recess 11 can be filled with grout or cement if desired to produce the .
  • channel member 12 is shown in Fig. 2 as well as Fig. 3. It may be of any convenient length and is preferably formed as one piece from rolled mild steel sheet, extruded aluminium or plastic and comprises a central web 14 between curved edge portions 15 and 16.
  • the web may have spaced apart holes 16A * along its length to receive nails or screws for securing it in longitudinal strips across the face of a structure and may also be creased along a line 17 to form in profile a shallow f V' shape.
  • Each of the edge portions 15 and 16 are curved to terminate in parallel lips 18 and 19 which are angled outwardly and spaced apart a suitable distance such that they can simultaneously engage within the grooves 5 of adjacent tiles as best shown in Fig. 2.
  • additional holes may also be provided .
  • the novel and unique 'V shaped profile of the channel member and the outwardly angled lips have the effect of spring loading the lower portion of each tile inwardly against the support surface 19A. This enables each succeeding tile to be quickly and simply snap fitted in place over the lower one and also provides a smooth and solid outer surface for the facade.
  • Each succeeding row of tiles is fitted in place by first aligning it against the support surface 19A above the lower tile such that the lips 18 and 19 of the channel members extend part way into the respective upper and lower grooves 5 the lips to engage behind the ridges 5C and the undercut edge 20 of the tile to simultaneously ride up on the inclined surface 8A of the lower tile which has the effect of securely locking the tile in place by the spring .force of the lips.
  • FIG. 4 An alternative form of fixing an individual row of tiles in place using the same preferred forms of this invention is shown in Fig. 4.
  • the lips 18 and 19 of the channel member engage in the respective grooves of the same tile rather than extending between adjacent rows as described earlier.
  • This form of attachment may be advantageous along the upper and lower extremeties or a wall structure where only a single row of tiles or portion thereof need to be fixed in place.
  • FIGs. 5 to 8 Further illustrations of this embodiment of the invention are shown in Figs. 5 to 8.
  • the channel members 12 are first secured in longitudinal strips across the surface of the structure 20 and are spaced in accordance with the tile height.
  • the tiles may be subsequently snap fitted in place in either a stacked or staggered arrangement as described earlier.
  • Fig. 5 An alternative form of fixing an individual row of tiles in place using the same preferred forms of this invention is shown in Fig. 4.
  • the lips 18 and 19 of the channel member engage in the respective grooves of the same tile rather than extending between adjacent rows as described earlier.
  • FIG. 9 A second embodiment of a cladding tile and channel member according to this invention is shown in Fig. 9.
  • the exterior face of this tile is similar to that shown earlier. It comprises a planar exterior surrace 21 with the upper edge 22 being formed into a stepped configuration and the lower e ge un ercu o n er w an a acen e. e inner face 24 of this embodiment however omits the concavities 6 and 7 displayed in Fig. 1 and instead includes straight sided rectangular channels 25 and 26 which extend the length of the tile. It is envisaged that this configuration would facilitate the production of the tile from existing extrusion plant without expensive retooling costs.
  • channel member 26A which may be used to mount either of the cladding tiles depicted in Figs. 1 or 9 is shown in Fig. 10. It generally follows the basic shape of configuration of the member shown in Fig. 3, however the central crease 17 of the first embodiment is replaced by a shallow rounded trough 27 along the length of the member.
  • the upper and lower lips 28 and 29 have also been modified • and now comprise substantially planar* horizontal and angled segments 30 to 33.
  • Fig. 11 shows a further alternative arrangement for fixing the cladding tiles to a supporting surtace. While the channel members 26A support the rear faces of the tiles in a . they are vertically spaced so as to only engage across alternate tile joints 35. In order to prevent any looseness in the tiles or undulations in the external surface adjacent the intermediate unsupported joints 36 a spacing rib 37 may be disposed as shown between the inner face of the tiles adjacent their upper edge and the supporting surface 38.
  • Fig. 12 One preterred form of this rib is depicted in Fig. 12. It comprises a substantially planar top and rear surfaces 39 and 40 with the front surface curving outwardly towards the top to form .a concavity 41. This rib thus neatly abuts the cladding tile as shown in Fig.
  • the rib may be constructed of any suitable material such as plastic, rubber or metal and may be of any convenient length.
  • the cross-sectional dimensions may also be varied to ensure a suitable spacing behind the tiles for a flat external finish on the structure.
  • the cladding should- preferably simulate standard building brick constructions the particular shape, configuration and size of the channel member and tiles as well as the grooves therein may be modi f e accor ng to app cat on an or es gn pre erence .
  • the preferred material for the tiles is a ceramic and they are thus designed for production as a twin extrusion clearly a wide variety of other suitable weather resistant substances such as injection mouldable plastics may also be used.
  • cladding tiles of the type described herein may, when in the form of the twin extrusion shown in Fig. 13, be used to construct free standing panels. These can be constructed by the connection ot each twin extrusion end to end, to so align the cavities 42 within the twin extrusion by a suitable metal compression system passing through the aligned cavities. In this way, a single course of twin extrusion blocks can be assembled to form a beam for subsequent mounting in suitably arranged end restraints. Subsequent courses are assembled upon the previous course to form a panel of the desired height and width.
