Definitions

  • TILING This invention relates to tiling of the kind in which tiles are supported on battens. Such tiling systems are used as external cladding on buildings to provide, for example, a pitched roof or a shingled wall.
  • Another problem is that the tiles fail in use due to weathering.
  • Another major disadvantage is that the nails may corrode away (for example due to "acid rain”). Further, rain can sometimes penetrate tire tiling and rot the wooden battons. The tiles may also be broken by a workman walking on the roof.
  • tiling comprising tiles to be supported on battens, in which the tiles are made of plastics material and, in use, the tiles and the battens interlock with one another.
  • the tiles are supported on battens in such a way that the tiles are slidable along the battens during assembly but cannot be readily removed from the battens except by sliding them off an end thereof.
  • tiles are either mounted on a batten by being slid onto one end of a batten or snap-fitted onto a batten, and then slid along the batten until the whole batton is occupied by tiles abutting one another.
  • the tiles at the end of each row are then secured aginst sliding off by a suitable adhesive or by an edge strip.
  • Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of a tile and batten combination according to the invention, showing a single tile mounted on a batten; and
  • Figure 2 is a cross sectional view of a pitched roof having a cladding comprised by tiling acccording to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a tile 1 engaged on a batten 2.
  • Both the tile and the batten are formed by extrusion, and are made of a plastics material having suitably properties as regards mechanical strength, resistance to fire, and resistance to corrosion.
  • the cheapest material which we know of which has adequate properties _ - is U.P.V.C. (Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride).
  • the cross section of the tile 1 is such that it has a relatively wide central region 3 from which the tile tapers towards opposite edges thereof, i.e. a bottom edge 4 which will overlie the top edge of a tile mounted on a lower adjacent batten (not shown in Figure 1), and a top edge 5 by means of which the tile 1 is mounted on the batten 2.
  • Th tile 1 and batten 2 are formed with mutually interlocking parts.
  • the top edge of the tile is formed with a flange 6 comprised by a rearwardly directed wall 7 and a downwardly directed wall 8.
  • This wall 8 defines a continous longitudinal groove 9 between itself and the main body of the tile.
  • a second flange 10 Spaced from the flange 6 and parallel to it is a second flange 10 which extends from the rear surface of the tile and comprises a rearwardly directed wall 11 and an upwardly directed wall 12 which defines between itself and the main body of the tile a groove 13.
  • the batten 2 has a main body portion from which there extends an upper rail 14 and a lower rail 15.
  • the spacing between the rails and the size and shape of the rails is such that the only way of mounting the tile 1 on the batten 2 is to slide the tile onto one end of the batten so that the top flange 6 rides on the top rail 14 and the bottom flange 10 rides on ' the bottom rail 15.
  • the tile 1 may now be slid along the batten 2, being guided in its movement by the interlocking parts of the rail and batten. Of course, the tile cannot readily be disengaged from the batten except by sliding it off one end of the batten.
  • FIG. 2 shows a traditional inverted *V shape pitched roof 20 and only one face 16 of the roof will be described in detail as the other face 17 is identical to it.
  • Roof face 16 comprises tiling constructed of tiles 21 mounted on battens 22.
  • the battens 22 are made as U.P.V.C. extrusions and they extend horizontally one above the other In a slanting plane the angle of which corresponds to the pitch .of the roof.
  • These battens 22 are similar to- the batten 2 of Figure 1, but the battens are 'T' shaped with the head of the 'T' providing upper and lower rails corresponding to the rails 14 and 15 of the batten of Figure 1.
  • the battens 22 are mounted by the stem of the '1' on structural roof members 23.
  • the extruded U.P.V.C. tiles 21 are of generally the same shape as the tiles 1, having a wide central region which tapers upwardly and downwardly.
  • the shape of the main body of the tiles 21 may be regarded as a flattened parallelogram so that the upper and lower edges of the tiles have an apex angle of about 8°.
  • a row of tiles 21 is mounted on each of the battens 22 by the process of successively sliding tiles onto the end of the batten in interlocking engagement therewith.
  • the tiles are successively slid along the batten until it is full of abutting tiles, the process being rather like threading beads onto a string. It is of course necessary to secure the tiles at the two ends of each row against sliding off in order to provide a secure row of tiles which cannot readily be removed from their batten because of the interlocking engagement between tile and batten.
  • the tiles at the end of the row may be secured in place by a suitable adhesive such as expanding polystyrene adhesive foam which will also provide a seal against the weather.
  • the tiles of each row will be staggered by the width of one half tile from the tiles of the next adjacent row.
  • the advantage of the "flattened parallelogram" cross sectional shape of the tiles may be seen by observing the way in which the tiles of one row overlap the tiles of the next row.
  • a roof cap 24 is secured in place by using expanding polystyrene adhesive foam.
  • U.P.V.C. tiles are very sturdy, and are most unlikely to be damaged during transport, during fixing, or by workmen walking on the roof. They are easy to cut to width and are of very light weight. No mortar is needed, and the tiles can be fixed ver quickly and with little skill needed.
  • the tiling is so easy to use that it will enable "do-it-yourself" construction of garden huts or masts.
  • the invention is applicable to all tiling applications using battens, and is also applicable to any type of filing in as much as one aspect of the invention relates to a U.P.V.C. cladding tile for a roof or wall.
  • the tiles do not interlock with the battens. Accordingly to our invention, it is preferred to use an interlock between batten and tile such that the tiles can only be mounted on the battens by sliding them on at one end. However, it is also possible to provide a "snap together" interlock so that co-operating parts on the tiles and battens snap fit together.
  • a preferred alternative is to provide extruded U.P.V.C. edge strips which will hold the tiles in position.
  • a batten 2 be provided with rails 14 and 15 and the tile 1 with grooves 9 and 13, alternatively the rails may be on the tile and the grooves on the batten.

Abstract

Tuile extrudée (21) et volige (22) présentant des parties s'emboîtant l'une dans l'autre et composées d'U.P.V.C. (chlorure de polyvinyle non plastifié) résistant au feu, à la corrosion et aux fortes sollicitations mécaniques. Les tuiles (21) sont mises en place sur sur les voliges (22) par glissement sur des rails de guidage, ou positionnées par montage à déclic et retenues par des parties qui s'emboîtent. Un adhésif appliqué aux première et dernière tuiles sur la volige fixe solidement les tuiles et forme un joint d'étanchéité contre les intempéries. Dans une variante, on peut utiliser une bande de bordure en U.P.V.C. ou du type ''Dry Verge''.
