Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a building element for sealing a hole of a foil of an underroof of a roof structure in which hole a rectangular support structure for a window frame structure having a specific configuration and specific dimensions is mounted and through which hole access is established from the surroundings into the interior space defined below the roof structure, and with a rim part defining a central rectangular aperture of a configuration and a perimeter substantially corresponding to the configuration and perimeter of the hole, and a collar part integrally connected to and extending substantially perpendicular from the rim part and circumferentially encircling the mentioned central rectangular aperture, the rim part and the collar part being made from weather-proof materials, and the rim part being adapted to be arranged in substantially co-planar relationship relative to and in facial contact with the foil of the underroof so as to arrange the central aperture of the rim part in registration with the hole of the foil of the underroof and so as to arrange the collar part extending upwardly from the rim part.
  • the roof is most often built from a supporting wooden roof structure including rafters and laths on which tiles or roofing plates are mounted.
  • a so-called underroof or undercover produced from a hermetic sealing and water impermeable foil, most often a plastic foil is used.
  • the tiles may be made from clay or concrete material and may constitute corrugated tiles
  • the roofing plates may be made from slate, clay, concrete or metal materials, such as steel, copper or aluminium sheet material.
  • the fundamental realization for the present invention is that for the same reasons which underlie the wish for providing water and water vapour resistant, water impermeable and water vapour permeable underroof foils, there is in case of such underroof foils a need for a compatible building element which further advantageously offers the same advantages regarding water impermeability and water vapour permeability as the underroof and, thus, in connection with chimneys, windows, venting channels, plumbing tubings etc. offers the same technical advantages as the underroof foil itself.
  • a building element of the above-mentioned kind which building element is in accordance with the teachings of this invention characterized in that the rim part and the collar part are made from reversible water vapour transmitting plastic foils comprising a water and water vapour resistant, water impermeable and water vapour permeable barrier layer.
  • barrier layers characteristic of the building element according to the present invention demonstrating water and water vapour resistance, water impermeability and water vapour permeability may be realized by using any of the underroof foils described in the two publications mentioned above or alternative suited foil materials. It is preferred, however, that the barrier layer is made from a monolitic, hydrophil and during swelling water vapour absorbing and transmitting plastic material having a water vapour permeability, measured according to DIN 53122 at 38° C and a relative humidity of 90% at a foil thickness of 0.15 mm, of at least 1000 g/ (m 2 x 24 hours).

  • this plastic material may be mentioned thermoplastic polyurethane materials, which are also preferred in this connection, since these materials have a high tensile strength and breaking elongation and demonstrate a considerable abrasion strength and resistance to chemicals and water as well as resistance to UV.
  • the water vapour permeability may be adjusted or controlled by introducing more or less hydrophil groups in their polymer framework.
  • the first thermoplastic polyurethane material may be mixed with a smaller amount, preferably 0-10 weight per cent, and more preferably 0.5 weight per cent, of one or several other thermoplastic polyurethanes as a master batch containing additives usual in the field, such as processing means and UV stabilizers and further possibly filling materials and white/coloured pigments.
  • the used additives may also be mixed direct with the used first thermoplastic polyurethane material. All used additives are well-known to those skilled within the art of plastic foils and need not be specified.
  • the plastic material used for the plastic foil according to the invention comprises 90-100 weigth per cent, preferably 95-100 weight per cent, of a first thermoplastic polyurethane material and 0-10 weight per cent, preferably 0-5 weight per cent, of one or several other thermoplastic polyurethane materials in combination with additives usual in the field and possibly filling materials, pigments and/or coloured pigments.

  • These improved polyurethanes are sold under the commercial names Estane® 58237 and Estane® 58245 (B.F. Goodrich Company, Cleveland, Ohio, USA). According to the manufacturer "58245" has a water vapour permeability about 50% higher that "58237", but is a somewhat softer material.
  • the Estane® materials are extremely resistant to water penetration as, having a thickness of 25 ⁇ m, they are able to resist a water pressure of a water column of over 10 m.
  • the materials are according to the sales leaflets of the firm especially suited for application in the textile industry such as for cover on textiles for sports wear. However, nothing has been mentioned or implied regarding their applicability for building purposes.
  • the first thermoplastic polyurethane material is Estane® 58237 and/or Estane® 58245.

  • the choise of material is not particularly critical to the invention as long as the demands as to water and water vapour resistance and impermeability are met.
  • high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon and polyester materials may, however, be mentioned.
  • a presently preferred plane stabilizing structure is an open wire mesh of polypropylene split fibres and of a mesh width of 0.1-5 cm.
  • the thickness of the reversible water vapour transmitting plastic foil of the building element according to the invention may be varied within quite broad limits as demands for mechanical strength, water vapour permeability and the material price of the foil are balanced against each other.
  • the thickness is generally in the area of 0.002-0.5 mm and preferably 0.1-0.2 mm.
  • the water vapour permeability of the reversible water vapour transmitting plastic foil is as mentioned above at least 1000 g/(m 2 x 24 hours). It is preferably over 1200 g/(m 2 x 24 hours) and particularly at least 1400 g/(m 2 x 24 hours).

  • an open wire mesh of split fibres of polypropylene and of a mesh width of 1 cm is arranged as a plane stabilizing structure and subsequently a thin layer of a melt of the same Estane® materials is arranged as a cover, since an area of the former foil corresponding to the collar part 324 is kept uncovered by the open split fibre wire mesh or the open split fibre wire mesh is instead subsequently removed from the said area.
  • the element is made from this foil in a configuration as shown in Figs. 7 and 8 defining an outer configuration measuring 1950 mm x 1178 mm and the collar part being made from the above-mentioned area of the foil.
  • the foil sections 315 and 319 each measure 1178 mm x 150 mm
  • the aperture defined by the outer edge of the collar part 324 measures 1398 mm x 778 mm
  • the height of snow-guide defined by the plate elements 330, 332 and 334 i.e. the height of the triangularly shaped snow-guide from the upwardly protruding collar part 324 measures 70 mm
  • the triangularly shaped plate element 330 measures 20 mm above the plane defined by the top foil section 318 of the rim part 322.
