Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cladding system and more particularly to panels for use in cladding a wall.
  • Cladding is also used to provide a finish to timber walls, and to timber and metal frame structures. Cladding represents a much cheaper option than the building of a solid stone or brick wall and is also much quicker to complete than these traditional alternatives.
  • a cladding panel which is adapted to be attached to a support frame secured to a wall, in overlapping relationship with the panels above it on the framework.
  • the panels are secured to the framework by means of integral clips. If necessary, the cladding panels can be secured to the frame by riveting, bolting or screwing.
  • WO00/43607 describes a wall panel system comprising a set of interlocking panels, where each panel comprises a tongue and a groove arranged to mate with a tongue and groove on respective adjacent panels.
  • FR2548711 describes a thermally insulating cladding system comprising a set of overlapping panels, each panel comprising an exterior facing material mounted on an insulating base.
  • a panel for use in cladding a wall comprising:
  • the base member is provided with means for securing the base member to a wall. More preferably, this means comprises one or more passageways extending through the base member from the first to the second surface. The passageways are arranged in use to receive screws, bolts, nails or other fixings. The passageway(s) extend through a region of the base member which in situ is hidden by an overlapping portion of a neighbouring base member.
  • the base member comprises cement reinforced with wood filaments.
  • other materials may also be used to form the base member.
  • the base member is elongate having a plurality of brick facing members secured to one of its surfaces, wherein in use the panel simulates a portion of a brick wall.
  • Each brick facing member is dimensioned and secured to the base member so that one edge of the facing member is aligned with an edge of the base member, and a predefined gap exists between the edge of the brick facing member and the step of the face to which it is attached.
  • said gap is the gap between brick facing members secured to adjacent base members. This gap can be filled with grout to further simulate the appearance of a brick wall.
  • the loose fit provides a space which is able to accommodate dirt and other debris and prevents these from causing a misalignment of neighbouring panels.
  • the loose fit also prevents the base members from splitting or cracking which might occur if the fit is too tight.
  • a loose fit also enables easy removal of panels from a wall.
  • a corner panel may be provided for cladding a corner section of a wall.
  • the corner panel comprises two of the panels as described above, secured to one another at a right angle, or any other suitable angle.
  • a method of cladding a solid wall using a multiplicity of panels comprising:
  • each panel is attached to the wall by a screw, bolt, nail or other fixing which passes through a hole formed in the base member of the panel, into the wall.
  • each panel is oriented such that the fixing members are located above the facing members of the panel.
  • a cladding panel suitable for cladding a solid wall will now be described. Whilst it is envisaged that the main use of these panels is for cladding an external wall, the panels may also be used for cladding internal walls and also for cladding other surfaces such as roofs and floors.
  • the cladding panel 1 comprises a solid and rigid base member 2 which is preferably formed of a cement based structural board reinforced with engineered wood filaments.
  • This material may be for example Pyrok TM manufactured by Cape Calsil Systems Limited of Middlesex, England.
  • a solid sheet having a rectangular cross section may be machined to provide the base member 2 illustrated in Figure 1 or alternatively the structure may be pre-formed by suitably moulding the cement based material.
  • the upper or first surface 3 of the base member 2 is provided with a step 4 at some predefined distance l from the topmost edge of the base member 2.
  • the height of this step h is approximately one half of the thickness of the base member 2.
  • the lower or second surface 5 of the base member 2 is also provided with a step 6 which again has a height h approximately equal to one half of the thickness of the base member 2.
  • the step 6 in the lower surface 5 is located at the same distance l from the bottom-most edge of the base member 2 as the step 4 in the upper surface 3 is from the topmost edge.
  • the step 4 provided in the upper surface 3 is at a right angle to the planar surface of the base member 2
  • the step 6 provided in the lower surface 5 slopes backward into the rise of the step 6 so as to form a V-shaped recess 7 in the step 6.
  • the topmost edge 8 of the base member 2 is tapered at substantially the same angle as the recess 7 in the step 6.
  • a series of rectangular facing blocks 9 are secured to the upper surface 3 of the base member 2 using an adhesive (e.g. a gap filling weather resistant liquid adhesive and setting agent).
  • these blocks 9 are made of the same material as conventional building bricks and, when viewed from the front, have dimensions similar to those of conventional bricks.
  • the thickness of the blocks 9 is only a fraction of the thickness of a conventional brick (e.g. 20% or 1.5cm).
  • the facing blocks 9 are secured to the upper surface 3 of the base member 2, above the step 6 formed in the lower surface 5 of the base member 1, with their bottom-most edges aligned with the bottom-most edge of the base member 1.
  • a gap of predefined distance g exists between the topmost edge of the brick facing blocks 9 and the step 4 in the upper surface 3 of the base member 2.
  • a similar gap g is provided between the brick facing blocks 9 attached to the base member 2.
  • a number of holes 10 extend through the base member 2 between the topmost edge of the base member 2 and the step 4 in the upper surface 3.
  • a panel 1 which is approximately 1 metre in length, two or three such holes 10 are provided, the holes 10 being equally spaced from one another.
  • Figure 2 illustrates how the fixing holes 10 are used to secure a series of panels 1a to 1c to a solid wall 12. The first panel 1a is aligned with its longitudinal axis to the horizontal, with the fixing holes 10 lying above the brick facing blocks 9. Screws 13 are then inserted through the fixing holes 10 into the wall to secure the panel to the wall 12. Once the first panel 1a has been fixed to the wall 12, a second panel 1c is located above the first panel 1a in the same orientation.
  • the panel 1b is lowered until the tapered edge region 8 of the first panel 1a is fully located within the recess 7 provided in the lower step 6 of the base member 2 of the second panel 1b. It will be appreciated that in this position the second panel 1b will be effectively held against the wall 12 and there is minimal risk of the panel falling 1b off the wall. This is important as it minimises the danger to the worker fixing the cladding to the wall, who may be working at a substantial height above the ground. There is no need for the worker to hold the second panel 1b with his hand while securing screws through the fixing holes in the second panel. In the same way, the third panel 1c is secured in overlapping relationship with the second panel 1b.
  • Figure 3 illustrates panels 15, 16 suitable for cladding a corner section of a building.
  • the principles of the construction of the corner panel, and of the method of fixing the corner panel to a wall, will be evident in the light of the above description.
  • Embodiments of the present invention provide a cladding system which can be very easily put in place against any type of wall, especially a solid wall such as might be constructed from timber, concrete blocks, and the like.
  • a cladding system which can be very easily put in place against any type of wall, especially a solid wall such as might be constructed from timber, concrete blocks, and the like.
