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 in composite material for producing a coating of facade.

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 construction industry when trying to achieve new facades or that we wish to repair and consolidate existing facades with access to the building by 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 clothing when it is fixed on an existing support. The clothes are generally placed directly on any raw support or plaster, flat and vertical but in case of bad flatness of these supports, we can then add a framework on which will be fixed the facing in composite material. When a framework is interposed, we no longer speak of clothing but the realization of a 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 usually have two main functions, thermal insulation and waterproofing, whether applied to new buildings or to the renovation of old buildings.

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 important : elles sont inesthétiques puisque tous les crochets extérieurs sont très proéminents et visibles. Ces crochets peuvent être endommagés ou arrachés.Among the clothes known today, if we achieves thermal insulation results it there are many disadvantages especially with regard to the ease of installation on the site because these clothes include fixing means on the facade, in general, complicated, made by rails on which we come adapt hooks to fix the different elements of facing on the rail or in the manner of tiles on a roof. You can also use T-rails. assembly difficulties, these clothes have another drawback important: they are unsightly since all outer 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 clothes, there are many possibilities for mounting. The coatings facade insulators currently used on the market are made up of several elements that must be drawn, design, manufacture and store according to the type of siding 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.Taking into account these means of fixing by rails or hooks, known clothing, assembled by assembly of different facing elements, are generally few waterproof and it is necessary to achieve this by implementing seals which may deteriorate over time.

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 disparaítre les traces de graffitis réalisés par exemple à la peinture en bombe.It is also necessary that the materials put have sufficient impact resistance and they have self-washable qualities to make disappear traces of graffiti made for example at the spray paint.

On a déjà construit aujourd'hui des vêtures ou bardages constitués à partir d'un panneau constituant la surface externe du parement, réalisé en un matériau naturel ou synthétique. Sur ce parement est collée une plaque isolante d'une épaisseur suffisante, par exemple de quelques centimètres à plusieurs dizaines de centimètres. Les plaques isolantes le plus souvent utilisées sont en général constituées de polystyrène expansé collé sur la face interne du panneau.We have already built clothes today or cladding made from a panel constituting the external surface of the facing, made of a natural material or synthetic. On this facing is stuck a plate insulation of sufficient thickness, for example a few centimeters to tens of centimeters. The plaques most often used insulators are generally made of expanded polystyrene glued on the inside of the panel.

Dans les vêtures connues, les plaques isolantes de polystyrène expansé sont découpées sur leur périphérie pour s'imbriquer dans la plaque adjacente. 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 plates of expanded polystyrene are cut on their periphery to nest in the adjacent plate. This provision is necessary taking into account the fixing systems used but it sometimes has a disadvantage because it may cause significant excess thickness and coating flatness defects on the entire facade.

Les panneaux 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 panels have a flat surface but when installed with devices known to make an insulating facade coating, we see that there has differences in flatness, sometimes significant, with adjacent panels. It is common to see in some areas of significant flatness defects and this is all the more more annoying than an eye placed at the base of the wall and looking in the air perceives them very easily under a grazing light.

Il est connu de l'état de la technique le brevet WO-A-8403320 qui divulgue un parement utilisé dans l'industrie du bâtiment pour la réalisation de revêtements de façade tels que vêture. Un panneau extérieur, constituant la face externe du parement, au contact sur une plaque isolante, dispose sur sa partie supérieure d'une rainure dans laquelle s'emboíte une languette disposée sur la partie inférieure d'un second panneau adjacent au premier. Les moyens de fixation du panneau sont situés sur la partie supérieure de celui-ci dans une zone de retrait et traversent la plaque isolante. Ces moyens de fixation sont rendus invisibles par la pose d'un second panneau adjacent au premier. Les plaques isolantes sont positionnées bout à bout pour assurer une bonne planéité de l'assemblage des panneaux entre eux.The patent is known from the state of the art WO-A-8403320 which discloses a facing used in the building industry for the production of coatings facade such as clothing. An exterior panel, constituting the external face of the facing, in contact with an insulating plate, has on its upper part a groove in which fits a tab arranged on the lower part a second panel adjacent to the first. The means of panel fasteners are located on the top of this one in a recess area and cross the plate insulating. These fixing means are made invisible by the installation of a second panel adjacent to the first. The plaques insulators are positioned end to end to ensure good flatness of the assembly of the panels together.

Ce dispositif ne dispose cependant d'aucun moyen d'évacuation des eaux de condensation et de ruissellement, ce qui endommage et dégrade assez rapidement le revêtement et les plaques isolantes.However, this device has no means evacuation of condensation and runoff water, which damages and degrades the coating fairly quickly and the insulating plates.

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'emboítement, 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 disadvantages and for this purpose one of his first goals is to provide a composite material facing usable in the building industry for the realization of a coating facade, easy to manufacture because the number of elements constituting the coating is minimized. All the functions of insulation, interlocking, fixing and drainage will be concentrated in each element of facing constituting the insulating facade coating and a only one type of element can 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 it will therefore be facilitated, that we seek to achieve a cladding fixed on an existing support or cladding fixed on reported support. The installation will be very easy since the structure is simple and that the fixing means do not not in work nor rails fixed on the wall, nor hooks adapted 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 purpose of facing in composite material usable in the building industry for the realization of a facade coating according to the invention is to ensure a very good waterproofing and protection of the facade vis-à-vis rainwater collected on the external face of the facing or vis-à-vis the condensation water on the face internal 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 panneau aura également des qualités de résistance et sera de préférence imputrescible et auto-lavable.Another purpose of facing in composite material for the realization of a facade cladding according to the invention is to have good impact resistance. The state of panel surface will also have strength 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 panneaux adjacents. L'état de surface extérieur du revêtement constitué d'une multitude de panneaux aura donc une très bonne planéité et un fini impeccable très plan, sans aucune aspérité ni crochet.Another advantage of material siding composite for the realization of a facade coating according to the invention is that the connecting means have a surface and very reduced volume and that they will therefore be hidden by adjacent panels. The external surface condition of the coating made up of a multitude of panels will therefore have a very good flatness and a very flat impeccable 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 panneau résistant et ne sollicitent pas la plaque isolante plus épaisse en polystyrène expansé qui, elle, a une résistance plus faible.Another object of the facing in composite material for the realization of a facade cladding according to the invention is that the means of connecting the facings between they are integral with the resistant panel and do not stress not the thicker insulating plate of expanded polystyrene which 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 plaques isolantes en polystyrène expansé rapprochables 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 cladding according to the invention is to achieve excellent flatness by means insulating plates of expanded polystyrene which can be brought together end to end without any assembly or interpenetration of panels inside each other.

Un autre avantage du parement en matériau composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade selon l'invention est que chaque panneau, lorsqu'il est emboíté dans les quatre panneaux adjacents, a une surface rigoureusement plane sans surépaisseur ni défaut. Les surfaces contiguës de tous les panneaux adjacents sont positionnés le 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 material siding composite for the realization of a facade coating according to the invention is that each panel, when fitted in the four adjacent panels, has a surface rigorously flat with no excess thickness or defects. The contiguous areas of all adjacent panels are positioned as close as possible to each other to improve insulation and impermeability to rainwater in the vertical or horizontal areas of connection of siding.

Un autre but du parement en matière composite pour la réalisation d'un revêtement de façade est de mettre en oeuvre des blocs de plaques isolantes non découpées sur leur périphérie pour réaliser la liaison, ce qui donne une bien meilleure isolation et une meilleure liaison des parements.Another purpose of facing in composite material for the realization of a facade cladding is to put using blocks of insulating plates not cut on their periphery to make the connection, which gives a much better insulation and better bonding of siding.

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 panneau avec des plaques isolantes rapprochables 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 material siding composite for the realization of an eastern facade cladding to make connection means and a panel with insulating plates can be brought together end to end to implement a facade with an exterior surface visible from flat materials and a minimal surface for joints between each facing, which is interesting especially on the aesthetic level and on the insulation.

L'invention sera bien comprise en se référant à la description ci-après d'un mode d'exécution non limitatif illustré par les dessins qui en font partie intégrante, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une coupe verticale d'un élément de parement en matériau composite selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de face d'un élément de forme rectangulaire,
  • la figure 3 est une coupe horizontale du parement en matériau composite selon l'invention,

  • la figure 5 est une vue de détail d'un parement en matériau composite avec un départ au niveau du linteau.
The invention will be better understood by referring to the description below of a nonlimiting embodiment illustrated by the drawings which form an integral part thereof, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical section of a facing element made of composite material according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a front view of an element of rectangular shape,
  • FIG. 3 is a horizontal section of the facing made of composite material according to the invention,
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view of an insulating facade covering assembled and produced from several facings of composite material,
  • Figure 5 is a detail view of a facing of composite material with a start at the lintel.

La vêture isolante selon l'invention est réalisée à partir de petits éléments préfabriqués, associant un panneau moulé par exemple réalisé en polyester HDC "composé à haute durabilité" et d'une plaque isolante usinée soit en polystyrène, soit en laine de roche.The insulating covering according to the invention is produced from small prefabricated elements, combining a molded panel for example made of HDC polyester "composed of high durability "and a machined insulating plate either polystyrene, or rock wool.

Chaque parement (1) est associé aux parements adjacents par emboítement en traverses haute et basse et il est fixé à la structure porteuse par des fixations métalliques traversantes, disposées aux rives supérieures (5) du panneau (2) sur la zone de retrait (7), et dont les têtes (14) sont cachées par le débord des parements supérieurs.Each facing (1) is associated with the facing adjacent by interlocking in high and low crosspieces and it is fixed to the supporting structure by fixings through metal, arranged on the upper edges (5) of the panel (2) on the withdrawal zone (7), and whose heads (14) are hidden by the overhang of the upper facings.

Le parement (1) peut être utilisé pour réaliser un revêtement isolant de façade vertical ou une toiture.The facing (1) can be used to make a vertical façade insulating coating 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 (1) recherchées, l'épaisseur du panneau (2) 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 facing qualities (1) sought, the thickness of the panel (2) polymerized at high pressure may be a few millimeters. If this thickness is not sufficient to obtain good impact resistance, so strengthen for example the exposed areas with a fabric of glass which will be used before molding the polyester.

Le parement (1) 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 (1) according to the invention may naturally be realized in several dimensions but it will preferably always have the same structure and the same shape, which will facilitate manufacturing and installation.

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

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

Le poids au mètre carré des éléments standards, pour la mise en oeuvre d'une vêture avec une épaisseur usuelle d'isolant (3), 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 clothing with a thickness usual insulation (3), for example 60 millimeters, is reasonable since it is between 8 and 10 kilograms.

Le parement (1) selon l'invention présente également une très bonne isolation ainsi qu'une très bonne étanchéité. Ces résultats sont obtenus au moyen des emboítures 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 (1) according to the invention has also very good insulation as well as very good sealing. These results are obtained by means of sockets specific to the invention and of the drainage network used to collect rainwater or water from condensation.

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 raw or coated supports, plan and vertical and in case of bad flatness, on a frame reported in siding.

Le résultat de surface obtenu est très bon, ce qui permet de réduire au minimum l'entretien. Les panneaux (2) sont auto-lavables.The surface result obtained is very good, this which minimizes maintenance. The signs (2) 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 was damaged, the invention allows also 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 panneau (2) et d'une plaque isolante (3) par exemple réalisée en polystyrène expansé. Le plaque isolante (3) est collée, par exemple au moyen d'une colle type hot-melt sur la face interne du panneau (2).Referring to Figures 1 to 3, which show seen in vertical section from the front and in horizontal section an element standard which constitutes the basic facing (1) of material composite usable in the building industry. The facing (1) consists of a panel (2) and a plate insulating (3) for example made of expanded polystyrene. The insulating plate (3) is glued, for example by means of a hot-melt type glue on the inside of the panel (2).

Ce panneau (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 panel (2) will be of a thin thickness of a few millimeters to a few tens of millimeters and will be made of a molded and preferably polymerized material at high pressure to make it resistant, waterproof, rot-proof and self-washable. We can naturally choose the best material from all available materials suitable for the building or the cladding to be used.

La conception du panneau (2) a été réalisée pour répondre à différentes fonctions : d'imperméabilité, de tenue aux chocs, d'isolation thermique, mais également d'emboíture sur les panneaux (2) adjacents. Chaque parement (1) 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 panel (2) was carried out for respond to different functions: waterproofing, holding shock, thermal insulation, but also of interlocking on the adjacent panels (2). Each facing (1) according to the invention must also be fixed on the facade before the installation of the adjacent facing does not hide this fixation.

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 implemented on a clothing, will therefore have an identical structure but it will be at much studied prior regarding the nature of its materials, its dimensions and its forms. We thus have by example shown schematically in Figure 2 a rectangular shape which could of course 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'emboíture, 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 panneau (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 panel (2) has either a smooth surface, as shown in Figure 1 giving the appearance of a marble or granite, a structured surface with a stone appearance, slate or tile.

Le panneau (2) comprend une zone centrale (4) délimitée par une rive supérieure (5) et une rive inférieure (6). La partie centrale (4) est en saillie par rapport à une zone (7) disposée dans la rive supérieure (5) 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 supérieure (5) dans la zone de retrait (7).The panel (2) includes a central zone (4) bounded by an upper bank (5) and a lower bank (6). The central part (4) projects from a zone (7) arranged in the upper bank (5) over the entire length of siding. Between the recessed area (7) and the central part of the facing, a groove (8) has been arranged on the entire length of the upper bank (5) in the area of withdrawal (7).

La rive inférieure (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 (8) sont très petites par rapport aux dimensions totales du parement (1) mais qu'elles sont sensiblement égales.The lower bank (6) also has on its entire length a tongue (9) of low height. In se referring to the figures, it can be seen that the dimensions of the tongue and rib (8) 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 means of linking low height of this nature that we manage to achieve an insulating facade cladding that presents different facings assembled with weak joints dimension which will have, at the level of vertical joints, the dimension of the grooves (8) and tongues (9).

On a représenté à la figure 4 trois parements (1) 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 zone en retrait (7) et traverse la plaque isolante (3). La fixation de chaque parement (1) est réalisée sans rail ni crochet dans la zone en retrait (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 inférieure (6) du panneau (2) adjacent situé au-dessus.FIG. 4 shows three facings (1) identical to assemble on a wall (10). The central areas (4) have very large surfaces compared to the joints horizontal (11 and 12). Each facing (1) is assembled on the wall (10) starting with the lower facing. The first lower element will be secured to the wall by a fixing means shown schematically in (13) and which may be by example a galvanized steel nail or screw fixed in polypropylene dowels in the wall. The fixing means (13) comes to bear on the recessed area (7) and crosses the insulating plate (3). The fixing of each facing (1) is made without rail or hook in the recessed area (7), that is to say in an area set back from the surface (4). The head (14) of the fixing means will be made invisible by the lower edge (6) of the adjacent panel (2) located 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 emboíture sur la rive supérieure (5) qui sera en retrait (7) sur le panneau (2). 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 panneau, constitue une emboíture qui permet de solidariser deux parements adjacents et qui permet également de masquer les moyens de liaison (13). Cette emboíture 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 using several screws (13) in area (7), we can then proceed with the installation of the upper facing immediately adjacent. This pose will performed for example at the joint (12) by making a fits on the upper bank (5) which will be set back (7) on the panel (2). We see in Figure 4 how we climb the adjacent upper element by engaging the tongue (9) in the rib (8). This commitment, over the entire length of the panel, constitutes a socket which allows to join two adjacent siding which also hides the connecting means (13). This socket ensures a good correction of the flatness of the clothing and reduce the defects of the support (10).

Les moyens de fixation (13) au mur (10) sur la rive supérieure (5) du panneau (2) ainsi que la rainure (8) sur la zone en retrait (7) de la rive supérieure (5) qui coopère avec la languette (9) de la rive inférieure (6) du panneau 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 fixing (13) to the wall (10) on the upper edge (5) of the panel (2) as well as the groove (8) on the recessed area (7) of the upper bank (5) which cooperates with the tongue (9) of the lower edge (6) of the adjacent panel provides means of attachment hidden and of small dimensions, allowing joints (11 and 12) thin.

Les moyens d'emboíture (8, 9) et les moyens de fixation (13) autorisent également le rapprochement bout à bout des plaques isolantes (3). Dans sa partie inférieure (15) la plaque isolante (3) est réalisée 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 (5). Ce retrait est faible et il n'a pas de conséquence sur les qualités thermiques de la vêture dans son ensemble.The fitting means (8, 9) and the means of fixing (13) also allow end-to-end approximation end of insulating plates (3). In its lower part (15) the insulating plate (3) is made on all the thickness of the selected insulation which can be example of 20, 40 or 120 millimeters. To achieve a good thermal insulation, this thickness is maintained on full height except for a small area (16) corresponding to the area (7) of the upper bank (5). This shrinkage is low and has no impact on thermal qualities of the whole garment.

Chaque plaque (3) est rapprochée de la plaque adjacente 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 plate (3) is brought closer to the plate adjacent so as to arrange them substantially end to end so that their ends (15 and 16) almost touch each other and their spacing is between 0 and 4 millimeters per example.

Il est préférable de liaisonner les parements (1) dans les zones rigides des panneaux (2) plutôt que par des assemblages ou des découpes au niveau des plaques (3) isolantes, 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 siding (1) in the rigid areas of the panels (2) rather than by assemblies or cutouts at the plates (3) insulating, which is a construction and works easier and improves the flatness of the surface carried out.

Pour améliorer le caractère imperméable, on a prévu de réaliser sur chaque panneau (2) au niveau de sa surface interne et avant de coller les plaques isolantes (3), 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, we have planned to perform on each panel (2) at its internal surface and before gluing the insulating plates (3), evenly spaced vertical grooves, for example. These grooves will evacuate the condensation water and possible infiltration. The size of the grooves, their number and their step will naturally be largely depend on the clothing used. Drainage made up by the network of grooves was not represented on the drawings.

Lorsque les moyens de fixation (13) et les moyens d'emboíture (8, 9) de plusieurs éléments adjacents ont été mis en place, pour la réalisation des joints (11, 12) horizontaux, on pourra verticalement utiliser des butées (17) qui viendront coopérer avec une languette (19) verticale de l'élément adjacent.When the fixing means (13) and the means socket (8, 9) of several adjacent elements have been set up, for the realization of the joints (11, 12) horizontal, stops can be used vertically (17) which will cooperate with a vertical tongue (19) of the adjacent item.

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 grooves vertical behind each facing will be evacuated such that 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 plaques isolantes (3) seront assemblées sur les panneaux (2) sur la chaíne de montage en usine.We thus produced an easy-to-assemble garment and easy to build and the insulating plates (3) will be assembled on the panels (2) on the assembly line in factory.
