Definitions

  • the present invention relates to panels for building and especially to panels for use in the cladding of walls and roofs in buildings.
  • a method of forming a panel for use in the cladding of walls and roofs in buildings comprises the steps of providing a sheet of commercial quality steel or aluminium, embossing the sheet with a selected embossment pattern such that the sheet has strength properties between five and fifty per cent greater than those of the equivalent unembossed sheet, and applying further strengthening by profiling the embossed sheet and/or by incorporating one or more additional strengthening members.
  • a cladding panel for use in building construction comprises a metal sheet formation streng­thened by profiling and/or by the provision of one or more additional strengthening members, the sheet formation carrying structural embossment defining an array of deformations which have the faculty of strengthening the sheet.
  • the metal sheet is of substantially uniform thickness.
  • the present invention is also a panel made by the aforesaid inventive method.
  • the precise embossment pattern created by the structural embossing can take a variety of forms.
  • the embossing could create an array of separate individual deformations on the sheet or alternatively a series of elongate continuous deformations or corrugations could be provided extending parallel or at right angles to a deformation axis.
  • the array or said deformation axis is set at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the panel.
  • the deformation axis of the corrugations can be set parallel to the components longitudinal axis but alternatively it may be set transversely.
  • the individual deformations of the array pattern can have a variety of shapes in plan view. Thus these deformations could be of rectangular, circular, square or oblong shape in plan with other shapes possible. Further, deformations of different planar shape could be present in a particular array.
  • the structural embossment of the sheet improves the structural strength property of the metal sheet and hence of the complete panel enabling a thinner sheet to be used with a consequent saving in material and hence in cost, or alternatively, for a given wall thickness, increased structural strength is imparted to the panel.
  • Figs. 2 to 4 show different forms of sheet panel constructions 1A-1C which are especially usable as wall cladding for buildings or as roof sheeting.
  • the basic material for these constructions 1A-1C is metal sheeting 1 as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the sheeting 1 initially plain is firstly embossed with a suitable embossment pattern E (particular forms of these patterns are discussed later) so as to strengthen the sheet material.
  • the embossing is such as to improve strength characteristics of the sheeting by 5% to 50%, in comparison with the plain sheeting: it has been found that the range, particularly the latter, can be achieved without the need for the size (depth) of the individual deformations of the embossment E to be excessive and since the embossed sheeting 1 is further strengthened in manners to be described the strength provision of the particular embossment E will be found to be perfectly satisfactory.
  • the panel 1A of Fig. 2 is formed by profiling the embossed sheeting 1 of Fig. 1 using for example suitable profiling rollers, this profiling further strengthening the sheeting 1 and as will be appreciated the precise form of the profile can take a variety of shapes.
  • Fig. 3 shows a different strengthening arrangement: in this case the embossed sheeting 1 of Fig. 1 serves as an outer layer of a composite panel 1B which further includes a lower metal sheet layer 2 (embossed per Fig.1) with a core of insulating material 3 between the layers 1, 2.
  • Fig. 4 also shows a composite panel including an insulating core layer 3, and in this embodiment at least one of the outer metal sheet layers 4,5 is profiled, for example in the manner of Fig. 2.
  • structural embossment E is applied to at least one of the metal sheets 4, 5 so that the sheet in the non-profiled condition has equivalent structural strength to the embossed sheet 1 of Fig. 1.
  • a further possibility is to secure a strengthening sheet (embossed or non-embossed) directly to the profiled sheet 1A in Fig. 2, as shown by the dashed line 6 in Fig. 2. Where the sheet 6 is embossed the profiled sheet 1A could be non-embossed.
  • Figs. 2 to 4 can serve as cladding for building walls or as roof sheeting, and the manner of fitting can be by wall established techniques which need not be explained in detail here.
  • the panels could also be used as partitioning in building work.
  • the sheet material of the panel comprises commercial or profiling quality steel or aluminium.
  • Commercial or profiling quality steel would be satisfied by designations Z1 and Z2 of British Standards 2989 (1982) i.e. defined as low grade commercial or profiling quality steel.
  • the steel will be suitably coated and/or galva­nised.
  • the embossing E has the function of strengthening the sheet material and also strain hardening the material.
  • the embossing may be applied substantially over the full area of the sheet, but it would be possible for the embossing to be applied at only selected areas. Also, as an alter­native, the embossing could be such that different areas of the panel have different embossment patterns.
  • the actual embossment pattern can be chosen from a wide variety of different forms, and Figs. 5, 7 and 8 merely show examples.
  • the embossment applies an array of separate individual deformations 11, 12.
  • the deformations 11 are of oblong form in plan view while the deformations 12 are of smaller circular shape, the pattern arrangement being defined by an orthogonal series of lines K-K, L-L with each circular deformation 12 surrounded by four oblong defor­mations 11.
  • the spacing of the lines K-K, L-L specify the pitch of the deformation array, and pitch of 5 mm may be used for example.
  • the struc­tural embossing is achieved by a cold deformation using for example suitable embossment tool e.g. rollers, and it is a feature of the embossment that the orthogonal lines K-K, L-L are oblique to the rolling direction R.
  • suitable embossment tool e.g. rollers
  • the longitudinal axis of the sheet (extending vertically out of the plane of the paper in Figs. 1-4) will correspond with the rolling axis R so that the deformation array 11, 12 will be oblique to this longitudinal axis i.e. the orthogonal lines K-K, L-L will be oblique to this axis. It is also arranged that the thickness t (Fig. 6) of the sheet material remains substantially uniform over the area of the material even after the embossing process. It will be understood that deformations of other planar shape could be presented in the array of Fig. 5 for example deformations of rec­tangular or square form could be used.
  • Fig. 7 shows an embossment pattern similar to that of Fig. 5 but in this case two circular deformations 12 are surrounded by four oblong deformations 11.
  • Fig. 8 shows embossing E of corrugated form with nodes 13, 14 and the ratio of pitch P to valley depth H can be suitably chosen the corrugations shown in Fig. 8 being of micro profile form.
  • the axis of deformation (i.e. out of the plane of the paper in Fig. 8) of the profile can be arranged appropriately relative to the longitudinal axis of the panel.
  • the profile deformation axis may be arranged longitudinally to the panels longitudinal axis.
  • the embossment has the effect of increasing a structural strength property e.g. bending resistance of the sheet material by a value in the range 5 per cent to 50 per cent in comparison with the non-­embossed sheet material.
  • a plastics and/or galvanised coating is to be applied to the material the embossment may be carried out before or after the coating is applied.
  • the thickness of sheet may be within the range °25 mm to 5 mm for example and the panel can have any suitable dimensions.
  • the embossment increases the strength of the panel and this will enable thinner sheet material to be used thereby lightening the panel and consequently giving rise to a possible saving in cost since less metal is required.
  • varying quality of metal material may be utilised as the strain hardening and cold deformation of the material due by the embossment process mitigates against adverse effects created by the use of varying quality material.
  • the embossing deformations will increase the corrosion resistance of the sheet material.
  • Comparison tests were carried out on panelling based on Fig. 2 and a corresponding profiled panel without the embossment (ie a plain panel).
  • the embossed panel of the test utilised the embossment of Fig. 8 extending in the longitudinal direction of the panel.
  • the testing was carried out by supporting a section of panelling as shown in Fig. 9 ie on three edge supports S spaced by a distance 1.9 m apart, and loading the panels substantially uniformly by increasing amounts.
  • the deformations 11, 12 can be arranged to project so as to be visible externally and this improves the aesthetic qualities of the component.
  • the weather face if the profile, for example the surface with nodes 13, can be suitably coated with synthetic material.
