Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a firebreak roof divide system for preventing the spread of fire between adjacent structural members and more particularly to a barrier for use in a gap between a roof and a party wall of a building.
  • GB Patent No. 2 082 647 shows a particularly effective barrier for sealing the gap between two structural members of a building.
  • the problem to be solved by the present invention is to reduce the overall size of such a barrier and facilitate its efficient storage and transportation.
  • the present invention provides a barrier for use in a gap between a roof and a party wall of a building to prevent the spread of fire, the barrier comprising a channel section for mounting on top of the party wall dividing two areas of the building and for receiving a barrier element which extends upwardly to abut the roof to seal the gap between the wall and the roof, a wing mountable on each side of the channel section, wherein the wings are formed as v-sections and are adapted to receive roofing felt from both sides of the building. Supplying the channel section and wings as separate parts reduces the overall size of the barrier and alleviates difficulties associated with their transport and storage.
  • the channel section comprising a base and two side walls, rests on its base on a gasket layer of mineral wool fixed to the top of the party wall, preventing smoke from spreading under the barrier into the adjoining building through small gaps between the top of the party wall and the base of the channel section.
  • the wings of the barrier are formed as v-sections. This allows stacking of the sections during both storage and transport thus reducing the floor space required for them.
  • one web of the wing includes an attachment means on its free end for mounting the wing onto a side wall of the channel section.
  • both webs of the wing include an attachment means on their free end for mounting the wing onto either side wall of the channel section.
  • An attachment means on both webs of the wing allows one part to be mounted on both side walls of the channel section. This reduces the number of parts to be manufactured thus reducing the overall cost of the barrier.
  • the barrier element is provided by a block of mineral wool in the form of a cockscomb vertical brush.
  • the channel section is provided by a number of separate overlapping sections or parts. Division of the channel section into parts reduces the difficulties encountered during installation and removes problems associated with handling, transporting and storing unnecessarily long sections of construction material.
  • the channel section comprises an eaves section, a main section and a ridge section.
  • the eaves channel section has a crinkle portion incorporated to allow the installer to tilt it to the required angle to a fascia board and guttering to suit specific requirements.
  • the ridge channel is formed with a crinkle portion to allow a user to bend the section over a ridge at the top of a roof and down along the pitch on the opposite side. This allows a continuous section of channel to extend around the ridge of the roof.
  • the wings can be manufactured from polyvinyl chloride, aluminium or steel.
  • a chimney unit is provided at the junction between an upper portion of the party wall and a chimney for receiving the channel section and wings which are mounted on this portion of the party wall.
  • the chimney unit comprises a tray and a wall extending around a substantial portion of the perimeter of the tray defining a gap, the tray having an outlet located adjacent the perimeter wall opposite the gap and a flexible pipe attached to the outlet underneath the tray.
  • the chimney unit is mounted on the gasket layer with the outlet adjacent the chimney wall and the gap facing towards the ridge of the roof for receiving the channel section and wings which are mounted on this portion of the party wall.
  • the tray receives water from the wings that has leaked through the tiles unto the felt and passes it towards the outlet. It is passed back onto the felt at the side of the chimney via the flexible pipe.
  • the channel section is of a dovetail cross-section with a wider base and a narrower opening.
  • the barrier 1 is mounted in a gap between a roof 2 and a party wall 3 of a building to prevent the spread of fire and or smoke.
  • the barrier 1 comprises a channel section 4 mounted on top of the party wall 3 dividing two areas of the building and receiving a barrier element 5.
  • the barrier element 5 extends upwardly to abut the roof 2 sealing the gap between the wall 3 and the roof 2.
  • Two wings 6 are mounted one on each side of the channel section 4 and receive roofing felt 7 from both sides of the building.
  • the channel section 4 and wings 6 are mounted on a layer of gasket 8, which is mounted on the top of the party wall 3.
  • the top of the party wall 3 is levelled with a layer of mortar 9.
  • the roofing felt 7 is cut along the centre line of the party wall 3 to allow the channel section 4 and wings 6 to be mounted on the gasket layer 8.
  • the wings 6 of the barrier 1 are formed as v-sections. Battens 10 are fitted to the rafters 11 by nails 12 and terminate at the edge of the rafter 11 adjacent to the party wall 3.
  • the barrier element 5 is provided by a block of mineral wool in the form of a vertical brush cockscomb inserted into an opening of the channel section 4.
  • the roofing felt 7 is rolled back into the wings 6 of the barrier 1 thereby allowing any water which has leaked through the tiles to drain down the wings 6 and into the guttering (not shown).
  • link battens 13 are fixed to the timber battens 10 bridging the party wall 3 and providing a further layer of protection against the spread of fire and smoke.
  • the link battens 9 have two attachment plates 14 and a connecting arm 15.
  • a vertical groove is cut in the barrier element 5 at the relevant position to receive the connecting arm 15 and the attachment plates 14 are nailed to the timber battens 10.
  • the barrier element 5 is also cut across in line with the top edge of the timber battens 10 in order to allow installation of tiles or slates.
  • FIG 8 there is shown a tile link batten 13 having two attachment plates 14 and a connecting arm 15. A number of holes 16 are punched in the attachment plates 14 for receiving nails (not shown).
  • FIG. 9 there is shown a slate link batten 17 having two connecting arms 18 and two attachment plates 19.
  • the attachment plates 19 contain pre-formed holes 21 for receiving nails (not shown).
  • the batten 17 also includes timber grounds 20 for slate fixing.
  • a party wall 3 having a layer of gasket 8 mounted thereon.
  • a mineral wool eaves block 31 extends to abut a fascia board 32 and soffit board 33 to maintain the integrity of the seal between the two buildings.
  • saw cuts 34 are made in the fascia board 32 and soffit board 33 and a fascia plate 35 and a soffit plate 36 are inserted into the corresponding saw cuts 34.
  • FIG. 12 there is shown a party wall 3 including a chimney 41.
  • a 100mm concrete block 42 is laid either side of the chimney 41 forming recesses 43 for holding trimmer boards 44 either side of the 100mm concrete block 42.
  • the trimmer boards 44 are supported by further rafters 45 on either side of the party wall 3.
  • FIG. 13 there is shown a party wall 3 supporting a chimney unit 51 having the channel section 4 and wings 6 mounted therein.
  • the chimney unit 51 comprises a tray 52 and an outlet 53 fixed underneath the chimney unit 51.
  • a flexible pipe 54 is attached to the outlet 53 and extends down through the recesses 43 onto the sarking felt on the side of the chimney 41.
  • a chimney unit 51 having a tray 52 and an outlet 53.
  • the unit 51 also includes fixing flaps 61 in order to hold the wings 6 securely in place.
  • Rain water that leaks through the tiles and into the wings 6 via the roofing felt 7 is collected by the tray 52 and passed back onto the felt 7 at the side of the chimney 41 through the outlet 53 and flexible pipe 54.
  • FIG. 15 there is shown a channel section 4 and two wings 6.
  • the wings 6 are provided as v-sections and one web 71 of the wing 6 has a two pronged fork 72 on its free end for mounting onto the side walls 73 of the channel section 4.
  • FIG. 16 there is shown a second embodiment of attachment means provided by two lugs 81 extending out and up from each side wall 82 of the channel section 4.
  • a flange 83 extending out and down from the free end of one web 84 of the v-section is formed for engagement with the lugs 81.
  • a channel section 4 comprising of an eaves section 91, two overlapping main channel sections 92 and one overlapping ridge section 93, each carrying suitably formed wing sections 6.
  • the eaves channel section 91 has a crinkle portion 94 incorporated to allow the installer to tilt it to the required angle to a fascia board and guttering.
  • the ridge channel section 93 is also formed with a crinkle portion 95 to allow a user to bend the section over a ridge at the top of a roof and down along the pitch on the opposite side.
  • the third embodiment shown in Figure 19 is similar to the second embodiment shown in Figure 16 except that the channel section 104 is tapered downwardly so as to provide a channel of a dovetail shape cross-section with a wider base 105 and a narrower opening 106 so as to provide a better fit for a barrier element (not shown) mounted in the channel 104.
  • Two generally V-section wings 184 are engaged with the channel section 104 in the same manner as the second embodiment. However, the two wings 184 do not have any flanges as shown in Figure 16 .
