Abstract

The cladding consists of an outer layer (2) of polyester which is polymerised at high pressure, is rot-proof and self-cleaning, and an inner layer (3) of expanded polystyrene which is stuck to the back of the outer layer. The upper and lower edges of the outer layer are shaped so that each successive row engages with the one below it, i.e. by having a recessed upper edge (8) which receives the offset lower edge (9) of the next row to ensure that the outer surface is flat, regardless of faults in the support. The upper edge of the outer layer is used to receive fixings (13) which are concealed by the next row. The channel also has water drainage channels and outlets. The polyester used for the outer layer of the cladding is pref. made from 18 - 23% polyester resin. 7-10% glass fibres and 60-70% mineral filling, with colouring or other additive to ease separation from the mould. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention est relative à un parement en matériau composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade.The present invention relates to a facing made of composite material for producing a facade coating.

Elle trouvera son application dans le domaine de l'industrie du bâtiment lorsque l'on cherchera à réaliser des façades neuves ou que l'on souhaitera réparer et consolider des façades existantes en ayant accès au bâtiment par l'extérieur et l'intérieur.It will find its application in the field of the building industry when one seeks to realize new facades or when one wishes to repair and consolidate existing facades by having access to the building from outside and inside.

Le revêtement de façade sera par exemple appelé vêture quand il est fixé sur un support existant. Les vêtures sont en général posées directement sur tous supports bruts ou enduits, plan et verticaux mais en cas de mauvaise planéité de ces supports, on peut alors rapporter une ossature sur laquelle sera fixé le parement en matériau composite. Lorsqu'il y a interposition d'une ossature, on ne parle plus de vêture mais de la réalisation d'un bardage sur le bâtiment au moyen d'un revêtement isolant de façade.The facade cladding will for example be called cladding when it is fixed to an existing support. The clothing is generally placed directly on all raw or coated supports, flat and vertical, but in the event of poor flatness of these supports, it is then possible to add a framework on which the facing made of composite material will be fixed. When there is interposition of a frame, we no longer speak of cladding but of making cladding on the building by means of an insulating facade coating.

Ces revêtements ont toujours en général deux fonctions principales, isolation thermique et imperméabilité, qu'ils soient appliqués à des constructions neuves ou à la rénovation de constructions anciennes.These coatings generally always have two main functions, thermal insulation and impermeability, whether they are applied to new constructions or to the renovation of old constructions.

Parmi les vêtures connues aujourd'hui, si on obtient des résultats en matière d'isolation thermique, il existe de nombreux inconvénients notamment en ce qui concerne la facilité de pose sur le chantier car ces vêtures comportent des moyens de fixation sur la façade, en général, compliqués, réalisés par des rails sur lesquels on vient adapter des crochets permettant de fixer les différents éléments du parement sur le rail ou à la manière des tuiles sur un toit. On peut aussi utiliser des rails en T. Outre les difficultés de montage, ces vêtures ont un autre inconvénient emportant : elles sont inesthétiques puisque tous les crochets extérieurs sont très proéminents et visibles. Ces crochets peuvent être endommagés ou arrachés.Among the cladding known today, if results are obtained in terms of thermal insulation, there are many drawbacks in particular with regard to the ease of installation on the site because these claddings include means for fixing to the facade, general, complicated, made by rails on which we just adapt hooks to fix the different elements of the facing on the rail or in the manner of tiles on a roof. T-rails can also be used. Besides the mounting difficulties, these clothes have another important drawback: they are unsightly since all the external hooks are very prominent and visible. These hooks can be damaged or torn off.

Parmi les vêtures existantes, il y a de nombreuses possibilités pour le montage. Les revêtements isolants de façade utilisés sur le marché actuellement sont constitués de plusieurs éléments qu'il faut dessiner, concevoir, fabriquer et stocker selon le type de parement utilisé ou selon la zone de la vêture construite.Among the existing clothing, there are many possibilities for mounting. The insulating facade coatings used on the market today consist of several elements that must be designed, designed, manufactured and stored depending on the type of facing. used or according to the area of the built clothing.

Compte tenu de ces moyens de fixation par rails ou crochets, les vêtures connues, constituées par assemblage de différents éléments de parement, sont en général peu imperméables et il faut pour y parvenir mettre en oeuvre des joints qui risquent à la longue de se détériorer.Given these fastening means by rails or hooks, the known clothing, formed by assembling different facing elements, are generally not very impermeable and it is necessary to achieve this by using seals which risk in the long run deteriorating.

Il est également nécessaire que les matériaux mis en oeuvre aient une tenue aux chocs suffisante et qu'ils présentent des qualités d'auto-lavabilité pour faire disparaître les traces de graffitis réalisés par exemple à la peinture en bombe.It is also necessary that the materials used have sufficient impact resistance and that they have qualities of self-washability to remove the traces of graffiti produced for example with spray paint.

On a déjà construit aujourd'hui des vêtures ou bardages constitués à partir d'un parement extérieur réalisé en un matériau naturel ou synthétique. Sur ce parement est collé un panneau isolant d'une épaisseur suffisante, par exemple de quelques centimètres à plusieurs dizaines de centimètres. Les panneaux isolants le plus souvent utilisés sont en général constitués de polystyrène expansé collé derrière le parement extérieur.We have already built today cladding or cladding made from an exterior facing made of a natural or synthetic material. On this facing is stuck an insulating panel of sufficient thickness, for example from a few centimeters to several tens of centimeters. The most often used insulating panels are generally made of expanded polystyrene glued behind the exterior facing.

Dans les vêtures connues, les panneaux isolants de polystyrène expansé sont découpés sur leur périphérie pour s'imbriquer dans le panneau adjacent. Cette disposition est nécessaire compte tenu des systèmes de fixation utilisés mais elle présente quelquefois un inconvénient car cela risque de provoquer une surépaisseur importante et des défauts de planéité de revêtement sur toute la façade.In known clothing, the insulating panels of expanded polystyrene are cut on their periphery to nest in the adjacent panel. This arrangement is necessary in view of the fastening systems used, but it sometimes has a drawback as this may cause significant excess thickness and coating flatness defects on the entire facade.

Les parements extérieurs ont une surface plane mais lorsqu'ils sont posés avec les dispositifs connus pour réaliser un revêtement isolant de façade, on constate qu'il y a des différences de planéité, quelquefois importantes, avec les panneaux adjacents. Il est courant de voir dans certaines zones des défauts de planéité importants et cela est d'autant plus gênant qu'un oeil placé à la base du mur et regardant en l'air les perçoit très aisément sous une lumière rasante.The exterior facings have a flat surface, but when they are installed with the known devices for producing an insulating facade coating, it is found that there are differences in flatness, sometimes significant, with the adjacent panels. It is common to see in certain areas significant flatness defects and this is all the more annoying that an eye placed at the base of the wall and looking up in the air perceives them very easily under grazing light.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients et à cet effet, un de ses premiers buts est de fournir un parement en matériau composite utilisable dans l'industrie du bâtiment pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade, ayant une fabrication facile car le nombre d'éléments constituant le revêtement est réduit au minimum. Toutes les fonctions d'isolation, d'emboîtement, de fixation et de drainage seront concentrés dans chaque élément de parement constituant le revêtement isolant de façade et un seul type d'élément pourra être mis en oeuvre.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and for this purpose, one of its first aims is to provide a facing made of composite material usable in the building industry for the production of a facade cladding, having an easy manufacture because the number of elements constituting the coating is minimized. All the insulation, interlocking, fixing and drainage functions will be concentrated in each facing element constituting the facade insulating coating and only one type of element may be used.

La pose d'un tel parement en matériau composite en sera donc facilitée, que l'on cherche à réaliser une vêture fixée sur un support existant ou un bardage fixé sur un support rapporté. La pose sera très facile puisque la structure est simple et que les moyens de fixation ne mettent pas en oeuvre ni de rails fixés sur le mur, ni de crochets adaptés sur le parement fixé sur le rail.The installation of such a facing in composite material will therefore be facilitated, whether one seeks to produce a cladding fixed on an existing support or a cladding fixed on an added support. Installation will be very easy since the structure is simple and the fixing means do not use either rails fixed to the wall, nor suitable hooks on the facing fixed on the rail.

Un autre but du parement en matériau composite utilisable dans l'industrie du bâtiment pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade selon l'invention est d'assurer une très bonne imperméabilisation et une protection de la façade vis-à-vis des eaux de pluie recueillies sur la face externe du parement ou vis-à-vis des eaux de condensation sur la face interne tournée vers le bâtiment.Another object of the facing made of composite material usable in the building industry for the production of a facade covering according to the invention is to ensure very good waterproofing and protection of the facade against water from rain collected on the external face of the facing or vis-à-vis condensation water on the internal face facing the building.

Un autre but du parement en matériau composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade selon l'invention est d'avoir une bonne tenue aux chocs. L'état de surface du parement aura également des qualités de résistance et sera de préférence imputrescible et auto-lavable.Another object of the facing made of composite material for the production of a facade coating according to the invention is to have good impact resistance. The surface finish of the facing will also have resistance qualities and will preferably be rot-proof and self-washable.

Un autre avantage du parement en matériau composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade selon l'invention est que les moyens de liaison ont une surface et un volume très réduits et qu'ils seront donc cachés par les parements adjacents. L'état de surface extérieur du revêtement constitué d'une multitude de parement aura donc une très bonne planéité et un fini impeccable très plan, sans aucune aspérité ni crochet.Another advantage of the facing made of composite material for the production of a facade covering according to the invention is that the connection means have a very reduced surface and volume and that they will therefore be hidden by the adjacent facing. The exterior surface finish of the covering, made up of a multitude of siding, will therefore have very good flatness and an impeccable, very flat finish, without any roughness or hook.

Un autre objet du parement en matériau composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade selon l'invention est que les moyens de liaison des parements entre eux sont solidaires du parement extérieur résistant et ne sollicitent pas le panneau isolant plus épais en polystyrène expansé qui, lui, a une résistance plus faible.Another object of the facing made of composite material for the production of a facade covering according to the invention is that the means for connecting the facing between them are integral with the resistant outer facing and do not stress the thicker insulating panel made of expanded polystyrene which , it has a lower resistance.

Un autre but du parement en matériau composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade selon l'invention est de réaliser une excellente planéité au moyen de panneaux isolants en polystyrène expansé rapprochés bout à bout sans aucun assemblage ni interpénétration des panneaux les uns dans les autres.Another purpose of facing in composite material for the realization of a facade coating according to the invention is to achieve an excellent flatness by means of insulating expanded polystyrene panels brought together end to end without any assembly or interpenetration of the panels into one another.

Un autre avantage du parement en matériau composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade selon l'invention est que chaque parement extérieur, lorsqu'il est emboîté dans les quatre parements adjacents, a une surface rigoureusement plane sans surépaisseur ni défaut. Les surfaces contigues de tous les parements adjacents sont les plus près possible les unes des autres pour améliorer l'isolation et l'imperméabilité aux eaux de pluie dans les zones verticales ou horizontales de raccordement des parements.Another advantage of the facing made of composite material for the production of a facade covering according to the invention is that each external facing, when it is fitted into the four adjacent facing, has a strictly flat surface without excess thickness or defects. The adjoining surfaces of all adjacent facings are as close as possible to each other to improve the insulation and impermeability to rainwater in the vertical or horizontal areas of connection of the facings.

Un autre but du parement en matière composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade est de mettre en oeuvre des blocs de panneaux isolants non découpés sur leur périphérie pour réaliser la liaison, ce qui donne une bien meilleure isolation et une meilleure liaison des parements.Another purpose of the facing in composite material for the production of a facade covering is to use blocks of insulating panels not cut on their periphery to make the connection, which gives a much better insulation and a better connection of the facing. .

Un autre avantage du parement en matériau composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade est de réaliser des moyens de liaison et un parement extérieur avec des panneaux isolants rapprochés bout à bout permettant de mettre en oeuvre une façade avec une surface extérieure visible de matériaux plats et une surface minimale pour les joints entre chaque parement, ce qui est intéressant notamment sur le plan esthétique et sur l'isolation.Another advantage of the facing made of composite material for the production of a facade cladding is to produce connecting means and an outer facing with insulating panels brought together end to end making it possible to implement a facade with a visible external surface of materials flat and a minimum surface for the joints between each facing, which is particularly interesting from an aesthetic and insulation point of view.

  • un parement extérieur en polyester moulé polymérisé à haute pression, imputrescible, auto-lavable,

caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte :
  • des moyens d'emboîture en rive haute en retrait constitués par une rainure dans laquelle s'engage une languette disposée sur la rive basse du parement adjacent, ces moyens d'emboîture assurent une bonne planéité de la vêture et réduisent les défauts de support,
  • des moyens de fixation invisibles du parement à travers le panneau isolant, sans rail ni crochet, disposés en rive haute du parement dans une zone en retrait rendue invisible par la pose du parement adjacent,
  • les panneaux isolants de chaque parement étant rapprochés bout à bout sans assemblage pour assurer une meilleure planéité du revêtement sur toute la façade.

La vêture isolante selon l'invention est réalisée à partir de petits éléments préfabriqués, associant un parement extérieur moulé par exemple réalisé en polyester HDC "composé à haute durabilité" et d'un panneau isolant usiné soit en polystyrène, soit en laine de roche.The insulating cladding according to the invention is produced from small prefabricated elements, associating a molded external facing, for example made of HDC polyester "high durability compound" and an insulating panel machined either from polystyrene or from rock wool.

Chaque parement est associé aux parements adjacents par emboîtement en traverses haute et basse et il est fixé à la structure porteuse par des fixations métalliques traversantes disposées aux rives hautes et dont les têtes sont cachées par le débord des parements supérieurs.Each facing is associated with the adjacent facing by interlocking in high and low crosspieces and it is fixed to the supporting structure by metal through fasteners arranged at the high edges and whose heads are hidden by the overhang of the upper facing.

Le parement peut être utilisé pour réaliser un revêtement isolant de façade vertical ou une toiture.The facing can be used to make an insulating coating for a vertical facade or a roof.

Le composé polyester choisi aura des qualités de haute durabilité et sera imputrescible et auto-lavable. On a obtenu de bons résultats en polymérisant sous haute pression et température un composé polyester chargé de la manière suivante :

  • résine polyester 18 à 23 %
  • fibre de verre 7 à 10 %
  • charges minérales 60 à 70 %
  • adjuvant et colorant pour notamment faciliter le démoulage et donner au produit toutes les teintes souhaitées.
The polyester compound chosen will have high durability qualities and will be rot-proof and self-washable. Good results have been obtained by polymerizing under high pressure and temperature a polyester compound charged in the following manner:
  • polyester resin 18 to 23%
  • fiberglass 7 to 10%
  • mineral charges 60 to 70%
  • adjuvant and colorant in particular to facilitate demolding and to give the product all the desired colors.

Selon les qualités de parement recherchées, l'épaisseur du parement extérieur polymérisé à haute pression pourra être de quelques millimètres. Si cette épaisseur n'est pas suffisante pour obtenir une bonne tenue aux chocs, on pourra alors renforcer par exemple les zones exposées par un tissu de verre qui sera mis en oeuvre avant le moulage du polyester.Depending on the desired facing qualities, the thickness of the high pressure polymerized outer facing may be a few millimeters. If this thickness is not sufficient to obtain good impact resistance, the exposed areas can then be reinforced, for example, by a glass fabric which will be used before molding the polyester.

Le parement selon l'invention pourra naturellement être réalisé dans plusieurs dimensions mais il sera toujours de préférence de même structure et de même forme, ce qui facilitera la fabrication et la pose.The facing according to the invention can naturally be produced in several dimensions, but it will always preferably be of the same structure and the same shape, which will facilitate manufacture and installation.

Le polyester pourra naturellement être remplacé par toute autre résine thermodurcissable qui pourra être adaptée à l'application.The polyester can naturally be replaced by any other thermosetting resin which can be adapted to the application.

Il peut s'agir par exemple de résine polyester non saturée.It may for example be unsaturated polyester resin.

Le poids au mètre carré des éléments standards, pour la mise en oeuvre d'une vêture avec une épaisseur usuelle d'isolant, par exemple 60 millimètres, est raisonnable puisqu'il est compris entre 8 et 10 kilogrammes.The weight per square meter of standard elements, for the implementation of a cladding with a usual thickness of insulation, for example 60 millimeters, is reasonable since it is between 8 and 10 kilograms.

Le parement selon l'invention présente également une très bonne isolation ainsi qu'une très bonne étanchéité. Ces résultats sont obtenus au moyen des emboîtures spécifiques à l'invention et du réseau de drainage mis en oeuvre pour collecter les eaux de pluie ou les eaux de condensation.The facing according to the invention also has very good insulation as well as very good sealing. These results are obtained by means of the sockets specific to the invention and the drainage network used to collect rainwater or condensation water.

Les vêtures selon l'invention peuvent être posées directement sur tous types de supports bruts ou enduits, plan et verticaux et en cas de mauvaise planéité, sur une ossature rapportée en bardage.The clothes according to the invention can be put on directly on all types of rough or coated supports, flat and vertical and in the event of poor flatness, on a framework attached to the cladding.

Le résultat de surface obtenu est très bon, ce qui permet de réduire au minimum l'entretien. Les parements sont auto-lavables.The surface result obtained is very good, which makes it possible to minimize maintenance. The facings are self-washable.

Si un élément était accidenté, l'invention permet également de remplacer un élément isolé sans démontage des éléments adjacents.If an element were damaged, the invention also makes it possible to replace an isolated element without dismantling the adjacent elements.

En se référant aux figures 1 à 3, qui montrent vu en coupe verticale de face et en coupe horizontale un élément standard qui constitue le parement de base (1) en matériau composite utilisable dans l'industrie du bâtiment. Le parement (1) est composé d'un parement extérieur (2) et d'un panneau isolant (3) par exemple réalisé en polystyrène expansé. Le panneau isolant (3) est collé, par exemple au moyen d'une colle type hot-melt derrière le parement extérieur (2).Referring to Figures 1 to 3, which show seen in vertical section from the front and in horizontal section a standard element which constitutes the base facing (1) of composite material usable in the building industry. The facing (1) is composed of an outer facing (2) and an insulating panel (3), for example made of expanded polystyrene. The insulating panel (3) is glued, for example by means of a hot-melt type adhesive behind the external facing (2).

Ce parement extérieur (2) sera d'une faible épaisseur de quelques millimètres à quelques dizaines de millimètres et sera réalisé en un matériau moulé et de préférence polymérisé à haute pression pour le rendre résistant, imperméable, imputrescible et auto-lavable. On pourra naturellement choisir parmi tous les matériaux disponibles celui le mieux adapté au bâtiment ou à la vêture à mettre en oeuvre.This external facing (2) will be of a thin thickness of a few millimeters to a few tens of millimeters and will be made of a molded material and preferably polymerized at high pressure to make it resistant, impermeable, rot-proof and self-washable. Of all the materials available, we can naturally choose the one best suited to the building or the cladding to be used.

La conception du parement extérieur (2) a été réalisée pour répondre à différentes fonctions : d'imperméabilité, de tenue aux chocs, d'isolation thermique, mais également d'emboîture sur les parements adjacents. Chaque parement selon l'invention doit également être fixé sur la façade avant que la pose du parement adjacent ne vienne masquer cette fixation.The design of the exterior facing (2) was carried out to meet different functions: waterproofing, impact resistance, thermal insulation, but also interlocking on the adjacent facing. Each facing according to the invention must also be fixed on the facade before the installation of the adjacent facing comes to mask this fixing.

Chaque parement (1), qui sera mis en oeuvre sur une vêture, aura donc une structure identique mais il sera au préalable très étudié en ce qui concerne la nature de ses matériaux, ses dimensions et ses formes. On a ainsi par exemple schématisé à la figure 2 une forme rectangulaire qui pourrait naturellement être tout à fait différente, carrée ou polygonale.Each facing (1), which will be used on a piece of clothing, will therefore have an identical structure, but it will be very carefully studied as regards the nature of its materials, its dimensions and its shapes. There is thus for example shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2 a rectangular shape which could naturally be entirely different, square or polygonal.

Sur une même façade, on pourra naturellement conjuguer différentes formes d'éléments dans ses dimensions ou dans la nature du matériau qui le compose mais chaque élément aura toujours une structure similaire à celle représentée à la figure 1 avec un système d'emboîture, de fixation et de drainage.On the same facade, we can naturally combine different forms of elements in its dimensions or in the nature of the material that composes it, but each element will always have a structure similar to that shown in Figure 1 with a socket system, fixing and drainage.

Le parement extérieur (2) présente soit une surface lisse, comme représenté à la figure 1 donnant l'aspect d'un marbre ou d'un granit, soit une surface structurée d'aspect pierre, ardoise ou tuile.The exterior facing (2) has either a smooth surface, as shown in FIG. 1 giving the appearance of marble or granite, or a structured surface of stone, slate or tile appearance.

Le parement extérieur (2) comprend une zone centrale (4) délimitée par une rive haute (5) et une rive basse (6). La partie centrale (4) est en saillie par rapport à une zone (7) disposée dans la rive haute sur toute la longueur du parement. Entre la zone en retrait (7) et la partie centrale du parement, on a aménagé une rainure (8) sur toute la longueur de la rive haute.The exterior facing (2) comprises a central zone (4) delimited by a high bank (5) and a low bank (6). The central part (4) protrudes from a zone (7) arranged in the upper bank over the entire length of the facing. Between the recessed area (7) and the central part of the facing, a groove (8) has been provided over the entire length of the upper bank.

La rive basse (6) comporte également sur toute sa longueur une languette (9) de faible hauteur. En se référant aux figures, on voit que les dimensions de la languette et de la nervure sont très petites par rapport aux dimensions totales du parement (1) mais qu'elles sont sensiblement égales.The lower bank (6) also includes over its entire length a tongue (9) of low height. Referring to the figures, it can be seen that the dimensions of the tongue and of the rib are very small compared to the total dimensions of the facing (1) but that they are substantially equal.

C'est en utilisant des moyens de liaison de faible hauteur de cette nature que l'on parvient à réaliser une vêture revêtement isolant de façade qui présente différents parements assemblés avec des joints de faible dimension qui auront, au niveau de joints verticaux, la dimension des rainures (8) et languettes (9).It is by using low-profile connecting means of this nature that it is possible to produce a cladding insulating facade coating which has various facings assembled with small joints which will have, at the level of vertical joints, the dimension grooves (8) and tongues (9).

On a représenté à la figure 4 trois parements identiques à assembler sur un mur (10). Les zones centrales (4) ont des surfaces très importantes par rapport aux joints horizontaux (11 et 12). Chaque parement (1) est assemblé sur le mur (10) en commençant par les parements inférieurs. Le premier élément inférieur sera solidarisé sur le mur par un moyen de fixation schématisé en (13) et qui pourra être par exemple un clou ou vis en acier galvanisé et fixé dans des chevilles en polypropylène dans le mur. Le moyen de fixation (13) vient en appui sur la rive haute (7) et traverse le panneau isolant (3). La fixation de chaque parement (1) est réalisée sans rail ni crochet dans la rive haute (7), c'est-à-dire dans une zone en retrait de la surface (4). La tête (14) du moyen de fixation sera rendue invisible par la rive basse du parement adjacent situé au-dessus.FIG. 4 shows three identical facings to be assembled on a wall (10). The central zones (4) have very large surfaces compared to the horizontal joints (11 and 12). Each facing (1) is assembled on the wall (10) starting with the bottom facing. The first lower element will be secured to the wall by a fixing means shown schematically in (13) and which may for example be a nail or screw made of galvanized steel and fixed in polypropylene dowels in the wall. The fixing means (13) comes to bear on the upper bank (7) and passes through the insulating panel (3). The fixing of each facing (1) is carried out without rail or hook in the upper edge (7), that is to say in an area set back from the surface (4). The head (14) of the fastening means will be made invisible by the low bank of the adjacent facing situated above.

Lorsque le parement inférieur aura été correctement posé, par exemple au moyen de plusieurs vis (13) sur la zone (7), on pourra alors procéder à la pose du parement supérieur immédiatement adjacent. Cette pose sera réalisée par exemple au niveau du joint (12) en réalisant une emboîture sur la rive haute (5) qui sera en retrait. On voit à la figure 4 comment on monte l'élément supérieur adjacent en engageant la languette (9) dans la nervure (8). Cet engagement, sur toute la longueur du parement, constitue une emboîture qui permet de solidariser deux parements adjacents et qui permet également de masquer les moyens de liaison (13). Cette emboîture permet d'assurer une bonne correction de la planéité de la vêture et de réduire les défauts du support (10).When the lower facing has been correctly installed, for example by means of several screws (13) on the area (7), it will then be possible to install the immediately adjacent upper facing. This installation will be carried out for example at the joint (12) by making a socket on the upper bank (5) which will be set back. We see in Figure 4 how to mount the adjacent upper element by engaging the tongue (9) in the rib (8). This engagement, over the entire length of the facing, constitutes a socket which makes it possible to join two adjacent facing and which also makes it possible to hide the connecting means (13). This socket makes it possible to ensure a good correction of the flatness of the covering and to reduce the defects of the support (10).

Les moyens de fixation au mur sur la rive haute du parement ainsi que la rainure sur la rive haute qui coopère avec la languette de la rive basse du parement adjacent permettent d'obtenir des moyens de fixation cachés et de petites dimensions, autorisant des joints (11 et 12) de faible épaisseur.The means of attachment to the wall on the upper edge of the facing as well as the groove on the upper edge which cooperates with the tongue of the lower edge of the adjacent facing make it possible to obtain hidden attachment means and of small dimensions, allowing joints ( 11 and 12) of small thickness.

Les moyens d'emboîture et les moyens de fixation autorisent également le rapprochement bout à bout des panneaux isolants (3). Dans sa partie inférieure (15) le panneau isolant (3) est réalisé sur toute l'épaisseur de l'isolation choisie qui pourra être par exemple de 20, 40 ou 120 millimètres. Pour parvenir à une bonne isolation thermique, cette épaisseur est maintenue sur toute la hauteur à l'exception d'une petite zone (16) correspondant à la zone (7) de la rive supérieure. Ce retrait est faible et il n'a pas de conséquence sur les qualités thermiques de la vêture dans son ensemble.The socket means and the fixing means also allow the end-to-end bringing together of the insulating panels (3). In its lower part (15) the insulating panel (3) is produced over the entire thickness of the selected insulation which may for example be 20, 40 or 120 millimeters. To achieve good thermal insulation, this thickness is maintained over the entire height with the exception of a small zone (16) corresponding to the zone (7) of the upper bank. This shrinkage is low and it has no consequence on the thermal qualities of the clothing as a whole.

Chaque panneau (3) est rapproché du panneau adjacent de façon à les disposer sensiblement bout à bout afin que leurs extrémités (15 et 16) se touchent presque et que leur écartement soit compris entre 0 et 4 millimètres par exemple.Each panel (3) is brought closer to the adjacent panel so as to arrange them substantially end to end so that their ends (15 and 16) almost touch and their spacing is between 0 and 4 millimeters for example.

Il est préférable de liaisonner les parements dans les zones rigides des parements extérieurs plutôt que par des assemblages ou des découpes au niveau des panneaux isolants, ce qui est d'une construction et d'une mise en oeuvre plus faciles et améliore la planéité de la surface réalisée.It is preferable to bond the facings in the rigid areas of the exterior facings rather than by assemblies or cutouts at the level of the insulating panels, which is of easier construction and implementation and improves the flatness of the surface achieved.

Pour améliorer le caractère imperméable, on a prévu de réaliser sur chaque parement extérieur au niveau de sa surface interne et avant de coller les panneaux isolants, des rainures par exemple verticales régulièrement espacées. Ces rainures permettront d'évacuer les eaux de condensation et d'infiltration éventuelles. La dimension des rainures, leur nombre et leur pas pourront naturellement largement dépendre de la vêture mise en place. Le drainage constitué par le réseau de rainures n'a pas été représenté sur les dessins.To improve the impermeability, provision has been made to make on each external facing at its internal surface and before gluing the insulating panels, regularly spaced, for example vertical grooves. These grooves will evacuate any condensation and infiltration water. The size of the grooves, their number and their pitch can naturally largely depend on the clothing installed. The drainage formed by the network of grooves has not been shown in the drawings.

Lorsque les moyens de fixation et les moyens d'emboîture de plusieurs éléments adjacents ont été mis en place, pour la réalisation des joints horizontaux, on pourra verticalement utiliser des butées (17) qui viendront coopérer avec une languette (19) verticale de l'élément adjacent.When the fixing means and the fitting means of several adjacent elements have been put in place, for the production of the horizontal joints, it will be possible vertically to use stops (17) which will come to cooperate with a tongue (19) vertical to the adjacent element.

Le réseau de drainage constitué par les rainures verticales derrière chaque parement sera évacué tel que représenté à la figure 5 par un profil spécial (20) présentant un orifice d'évacuation (21). On pourra également naturellement mettre en oeuvre différents types d'évacuation s'adaptant à la configuration de la vêture réalisée.The drainage network formed by the vertical grooves behind each facing will be evacuated as shown in Figure 5 by a special profile (20) having a discharge opening (21). We can also naturally implement different types of evacuation adapting to the configuration of the clothing produced.

On a ainsi réalisé une vêture facile à monter et facile à construire et les panneaux isolants seront assemblés sur les parements extérieurs sur la chaîne de montage en usine.An easy-to-assemble and easy-to-assemble garment has thus been produced and the insulating panels will be assembled on the exterior facings on the assembly line in the factory.

Naturellement, d'autres mises en oeuvre de la présente invention, à la portée de l'Homme de l'Art, auraient également pu être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de celle-ci.Naturally, other implementations of the present invention, within the reach of those skilled in the art, could also have been envisaged without departing from the scope thereof.
