- the known building elements or building panels substantially exist in two types.
- there is the so-called open-shell building element wherein only at one flat side of the building element or building panel a basic board is applied and wherein the other flat side, namely, the open side, substantially is formed by the insulation material itself, and, on the other hand, the closed or sandwich building element, wherein a top board is provided at the second flat side, such that the insulation material is located in the space between the basic board and the cover board.
- open-sided roof elements and closed or sandwich roof elements reference is made to EP 0 978 601 and EP 1 162 050 .
- the invention relates to building elements or building panels of the closed type, which can be applied as roof elements.
- building elements of the type which is at least composed of a basic board and a top board for providing batten laths thereon, wherein insulation material is located between said basic board and said top board, and wherein said basic board is provided with one or more ribs.
- Such building elements or building panels are already widely known and may be realized, for example, as an insulating self-supporting roof element.
- roof elements may be provided with their basic board on a simply constructed roof framework, for example, a roof framework only with girders. After installing such roof elements, these mostly also are provided with roof laths, which in their turn support the roof tiles or other roof cladding.
- the roof element fulfils the function of a traditional insulated roof underlay.
- said basic board forms the interior covering of the respective roof construction or that the basic board is provided with such interior covering.
- roof elements are pre-fabricated to size for a house.

- insulation elements are known of another than the above-mentioned type, wherein then only one board is applied and wherein the reinforcement ribs present are not attached to the basic board, but come into contact with a web-shaped sealing film or entirely are embedded in the insulation material, respectively.
- the side of the roof element which is directed inward during installation is formed by the insulation material or possibly by a sealing film provided on the insulation material, whereas in the case of CH 670 673 , the inwardly-directed side is formed by the basic board.
- a sound-insulating roof construction wherein strip-shaped insulation material is provided between carriers, which as such are composed of a lath and a strip provided thereon.
- the so-called acoustic strip is composed of a material which absorbs vibrations, such as of coconut material.

- the building elements of the invention are self-supporting.
- This property may result in very simple constructions.
- Figure 1 represents a building element 1, more particularly a roof element or roof panel, having the characteristics of the present invention.
- the roof element 1 of figure 1 is composed of a basic board 2 and a top board 3, between which insulation material 4 is located.
- said boards 2-3 in this case, the basic board 2 only, are provided with ribs 5.
- use is made of three ribs 5, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the oblong building element 1.
- the insulation material 4 for example, use can be made of cellulose-based material.
- the insulation material 4 as such can be composed of a plurality of layers, whether or not consisting of the same material. Such multi-layered composition of the insulation material 4 is not represented here.
- batten laths 6 for example, may be glued onto the top board 3, as it is the case here, or can be attached thereto by means of nails or screws. Of course, a combination of said attachment techniques is possible, too.
- batten laths 6 can be provided in all embodiments of the present invention, whether or not already during the production of the building element 1. They do not necessarily, as is the case in the example, have to be provided in positions which correspond to said ribs 5.
- the batten laths 6 extend perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the element 1.
- the batten laths 6 preferably are attached to the element only when it already has been incorporated in the roof construction.
- the building element 1 of figure 1 shows various particular characteristics.
- a first particular characteristic consists in that the top board 3, in accordance with the invention, is acoustically uncoupled from the basic board 2. This feature is obtained in this case in that the top board 3 is in contact with the insulation material 4 only. Thus, the top board 3 is connected to the basic board 2 in an elastic manner. Hereby, it is obtained that sound waves, which reach the top board 3 and penetrate into the building element 1, have to propagate substantially, if not exclusively, via the insulation material 4.

Description
- This invention relates to building elements or building panels, as well as to a kit comprising such building elements.
- The known building elements or building panels substantially exist in two types. On the one hand, there is the so-called open-shell building element, wherein only at one flat side of the building element or building panel a basic board is applied and wherein the other flat side, namely, the open side, substantially is formed by the insulation material itself, and, on the other hand, the closed or sandwich building element, wherein a top board is provided at the second flat side, such that the insulation material is located in the space between the basic board and the cover board. For examples of open-sided roof elements and closed or sandwich roof elements, reference is made to
EP 0 978 601 andEP 1 162 050 - More particularly, the invention relates to building elements or building panels of the closed type, which can be applied as roof elements. Namely, more particularly this relates to building elements of the type which is at least composed of a basic board and a top board for providing batten laths thereon, wherein insulation material is located between said basic board and said top board, and wherein said basic board is provided with one or more ribs.
- Such building elements or building panels are already widely known and may be realized, for example, as an insulating self-supporting roof element. In this respect, reference is made, for example, to
EP 0 450 731 orEP 1 253 257 - The building elements of the above-mentioned type, which are known from the state of the art, show an excellent heat-insulating effect, however, are less suitable for acoustic insulation.
- From
CH 601 598 DE 34 37 446 , insulation elements are known of another than the above-mentioned type. Herein, only one board is used. Moreover, in this case only a single reinforcement rib is attached on this basic board. Such insulation elements have a limited carrying capacity. In both documents, the height of the reinforcement rib is kept smaller than or equal to the thickness of the insulation material, and said basic board is directed outward. WithDE 34 37 446 , said reinforcement rib, in order to obtain a better acoustic insulation, is constructed of two layers, namely, a first layer consisting of an insulation material having a limited carrying capacity, for example, of hard foam, and a second layer consisting of a material with a high pressure resistance. The insulation elements are connected to the truss by means of long nails, which are driven through the carrying board and the reinforcement ribs. This attachment manner partially eliminates the acoustic insulation of the two-layered reinforcement ribs, as said basic board now is connected to the truss via the rigid nails. - From
DE 200 16 828 U1 , an insulation element of the above-mentioned type is known, wherein the top board is acoustically uncoupled from the basic board. The acoustic uncoupling is obtained in this case in that they are connected via ribs which are composed of two layers, namely, a first layer, which consists of an insulating material, and a second layer, which consists of a material having a high pressure strength. The compartments bordered by the ribs and the basic and top boards are filled with insulation material. Such element provides only a limited acoustic uncoupling.DE 200 16 828 U1 discloses all features of the preamble ofclaim 1. - From
NL 1009690 - From
DE 41 01 234 , an insulation element is known of another than the above-mentioned type, wherein only one board is applied and no use is made of reinforcement ribs, but still of a plurality of attachment laths, which are embedded in the insulation material. To this aim, these laths extend in the transverse direction of the insulation element. Such insulation element has a limited carrying capacity. When using the building element, the basic board is fixedly attached to the truss, for example, by means of screws or nails. - From

WO 01/16440 US 3,782,049 discloses blocks for forming a wall, comprising foamed plastic material in between two boards. Both boards are provided with wood strips at their internal sides. These wood strips show the disadvantage that they do not provide sufficient rigidity to the building element to enable their use in roof constructions. The blocks comprise openings which are to be filled with concrete. - From
WO 2008/139179 floor panels are known that basically consists of two layers with an insulation material there between. The bottom layer may be provided with stiffening ribs. - With the intention of obtaining an improved acoustic insulation, in particular with building elements or building panels of the above-mentioned type, the present invention, relates to novel building elements as defined in the appended claims, which, due to their inventive characteristics, contribute to an increased sound resistance, or, in other words, to an increased acoustic insulation and/or to an increased strength of the element. According to various preferred embodiments, the invention offers a solution for one or more disadvantages of the building elements of the state of the art.
- The invention relates to a building element for a roof construction according to
claim 1 , wherein this building element is at least composed of a basic board and a top board for providing batten laths thereon, wherein insulation material is located between said basic board and said top board, and wherein said basic board is provided with one or more ribs, and wherein said basic board and top board are acoustically uncoupled. As a result of said boards being acoustically uncoupled, sound waves impacting on one of the two boards, for example, on the board directed outward in the roof construction, will propagate to a lesser extent to the other board, for example, to the board directed inward in the roof construction. Such acoustic uncoupling may be realized in a variety of ways. For example, it may be provided for that the two boards are connected to each other via compressible material only. By "compressible material", material is intended which is more compressible than the material of said ribs. According to the present invention, such acoustic uncoupling of both boards is achieved in a practical manner in that the basic board is connected to the top board substantially via the insulation material. By this, it is intended that the pressure stiffness of the building element, under pressure load perpendicularly to one of the boards, substantially is determined by the pressure stiffness of the insulation material. Preferably, the basic board is connected to the top board exclusively via the insulation material. Herein, it is obtained that a pressure load perpendicularly to one of said board is transferred to the other of said boards substantially or exclusively via the insulation material and thus not, or principally not, via said ribs. Said ribs, however, may serve as a reinforcement with a possible bending load or torsion load, and thus in this manner contribute to the stiffness of the element. For example, the ribs limit a possible sagging of the element and may determining for the maximum obtainable bridging of such building element. Preferably, at least one of said boards is attached to the insulation material by means of a flat glue connection. - According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the possible distance between said rib and the basic board differs from the possible distance between said rib and the top board. Herein, said distance is seen in cross-section of the building element and measured perpendicularly to one of said boards. It is clear that according to this preferred embodiment, said possible distance possibly may be non-existent or may be as good as non-existent. By the arrangement of the present preferred embodiment, an acoustic uncoupling can be combined with a good bending stiffness. As the material of the ribs is situated closer to one of the boards, a larger moment of inertia during bending is obtained.
- Preferably, the building element of the invention is oblong, and preferably said ribs extend in the longitudinal direction of the building element. Preferably, two or more of such ribs are applied, wherein these ribs preferably are located internally in the building element and thus do not form a lateral edge thereof, although this is not excluded. Preferably, the insulation material, at least for a part thereof, is located between said two or more ribs. Preferably, such ribs consist of wooden beams preferably having a rectangular cross-section. Of course, it is not excluded to work with another material than wood, and/or that another cross-section for these ribs is opted for, such as a cross-section similar to the cross-section of an I-profile. Preferably, between the ribs a lateral distance of at least 30 centimeters and still better of at least 40 centimeters is maintained.
- According to a preferred embodiment, said rib, or said two or more ribs, are attached to said basic board without intermediate insulation material. The ribs concerned may be attached, for example, by means of nail, screw and/or glue connections and/or by any other attachment means. By the direct attachment of the ribs to at least one of the boards, namely, without intermediate insulation material, it is obtained that the ribs, under a bending load, can absorb the applied forces in a good manner. Moreover, according to this preferred embodiment, a simple construction of the building element is achieved. As is evident from the above, according to the invention, the ribs concerned preferably are connected directly to said basic board. The ribs concerned are not at all connected to the top board, although it is possible that they are connected to the insulation material, for example, laterally, for example, by means of a glue attachment, wherein the insulation material then in its turn can be connected directly or indirectly to the top board. Such lateral connection of the ribs with the insulation material, however, hardly has any influence on the acoustic properties of the building elements or on the pressure strength or pressure stiffness of the building element. However, this lateral connection of the ribs with the insulation material may have a positive influence on the stiffness of the building element during bending and/or torsion.
- According to the invention, the top board is separated from One or more of said concerned ribs by an air chamber. Possibly, instead of air also another material can be applied, which is more compressible than said insulation material, such as a gel or a liquid, which is located, for example, in a closed deformable receptacle.
- Preferably, at least the basic board and/or at least the top board substantially consists of wood-based board material, such as a multiplex board, OSB board (Oriented Strand Board), a wood particle board, a wood fiberboard, such as MDF or HDF (Medium Density Fiberboard or High Density Fiberboard). Other board materials are possible, too, such as flax particle board, sandwich-type plasterboard, concrete fiberboard, gypsum fiberboard or silicate board. The material applied for the basic board and/or the top board may show the feature that it is made waterproof and/or fire-retardant, such as can be the case with wood particle board. The top board and the basic board preferably have a thickness of at least 6 millimeters and still better of at least 8 millimeters. Possibly, the top board can be made thicker than the basic board.
- Preferably, as insulation material a cellulose-based insulation material or an insulation material based on wood fiber is applied. Cellulose-based insulation materials are renowned for their good acoustic insulation value; moreover, they also have an acceptable up to very good thermal insulation value. The cellulose-based insulation material either can be provided dry in the building element, as a separate layer, or can be provided in the building element as a viscous liquid substance, after which it was hardened or dried. Insulation materials based on wood fiber also show good acoustic insulation values in combination with an acceptable up to very good thermal insulation value. Preferably, so-called wood fiber insulation boards are used. Herein, the wood fibers, for example, may be connected to each other by means of a polyolefin. It is also possible that this insulation material is provided with fire-retardant additives, such as with one or more inorganic nitrogen-containing mineral acids. For example, the houtFlex insulation boards marketed by the company HOMATHERM® are highly suitable for application in the building elements of the present invention according to all of its aspects.
- Of course, instead of cellulose or wood fiber, also other insulation materials may be used, such as flake foam, which comprises, for example, foam flakes connected by means of polyurethane, wherein these foam flakes are obtained, for example, as a waste product in the production of mattresses or couches.
- Possibly, also the typical thermally insulating materials can be used, such as an insulation foam chosen from the series of polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, expanded polystyrene phenol insulation, perlite, vermiculite and glass foam, or an insulation material chosen from the series of mineral wool, such as glass wool or rockwool, wood wool, flax wool, sheep's wool and feathers, such as duck feathers or the like. In the case of glass wool, a significant fire-retardant effect is obtained, and in the case of an insulation material of animal origin a very environmentally-friendly building element is obtained.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the building element of the invention has an acoustic resistance (Ra) of at least 40 dB(a) and/or at least a thermal resistance (Rc) of 4 m2K/W. Such insulation values can be obtained with an insulation material on the basis of cellulose, wherein this insulation material as such has a thickness between 10 and 20 centimeters.
- Preferably, at least one of said boards, preferably the board directed outward in the roof construction or the top board, is realized heavier than the other of said boards. Making this board heavier results in a better acoustic resistance. For example, as the outwardly-directed board, a board can be applied having a thickness of 12 millimeters or more, such as a board of 18 millimeters or more, whereas the other board is realized thinner. As already mentioned, it is possible that, amongst others, the inwardly directed board is finished at the respective side with decorative material, for example, with a laminate layer, laths or the like.
- According to another preferred embodiment, it is the board directed inward in the roof construction or the basic board, which is made heavier than the other of the aforementioned boards. Making this board heavier results to a reduced emission of transferred sound. For example, as an inwardly directed board, a board can be applied having a thickness of 12 millimeters or more, such as a board of 18 millimeters or more, whereas the other board is made thinner. The inwardly directed board further may be made heavier by the presence of decorative material, intended for interior finishing. The inventor has booked good results with a 12 millimeter basic board, which further also had been provided with a sandwich-type plasterboard as interior finish. By such element, sound reductions of 50 dB(A) can be achieved.
- According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the building element is oblong and is provided with two or more ribs extending in the longitudinal direction of said basic board, wherein insulation material is located between said ribs, and wherein, viewed in a cross-section of the building element, there is a difference between the height of at least one of the ribs and the thickness of the insulation material, wherein the height of said rib is smaller than the thickness of the insulation material and wherein the possible distance between said basic board and said rib is smaller than one half of said difference. Herein, said distance is viewed in cross-section of the building element and measured perpendicular to said board. It is clear that according to this preferred embodiment, said possible distance may be non-existent or as good as non-existent. Preferably, said possible distance is smaller than 40% or still better smaller than 30% of said difference.
- Preferably, the building elements of the invention are self-supporting. This means that such building elements can form a self-supporting construction, or, in other words, in such construction are able to carry their own weight without any considerable deformation. This property may result in very simple constructions. With the intention of better showing the characteristics of the invention, hereafter, as an example without any limitative character, some preferred embodiments are described, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 17 represents a cross-section according to the line XVII-XVII represented infigure 16 . -
Figure 1 represents abuilding element 1, more particularly a roof element or roof panel, having the characteristics of the present invention. - The
roof element 1 offigure 1 is composed of abasic board 2 and atop board 3, between whichinsulation material 4 is located. Herein, said boards 2-3, in this case, thebasic board 2 only, are provided withribs 5. In the example, use is made of threeribs 5, which extend in the longitudinal direction of theoblong building element 1. In respect to theinsulation material 4, for example, use can be made of cellulose-based material. Possibly, theinsulation material 4 as such can be composed of a plurality of layers, whether or not consisting of the same material. Such multi-layered composition of theinsulation material 4 is not represented here. - The
top board 3, which is intended for being directed outward in a roof construction, is provided withbatten laths 6 attached thereto, which batten laths also extend in the longitudinal direction of theelement 1. The batten laths 6, for example, may be glued onto thetop board 3, as it is the case here, or can be attached thereto by means of nails or screws. Of course, a combination of said attachment techniques is possible, too. Such battenlaths 6 can be provided in all embodiments of the present invention, whether or not already during the production of thebuilding element 1. They do not necessarily, as is the case in the example, have to be provided in positions which correspond to saidribs 5. In roof constructions in which the longitudinal direction of thebuilding elements 1 is parallel to the width of the roof construction, it is, of course, possible that the batten laths 6 extend perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of theelement 1. In such case, the batten laths 6 preferably are attached to the element only when it already has been incorporated in the roof construction. - The
building element 1 offigure 1 shows various particular characteristics. A first particular characteristic consists in that thetop board 3, in accordance with the invention, is acoustically uncoupled from thebasic board 2. This feature is obtained in this case in that thetop board 3 is in contact with theinsulation material 4 only. Thus, thetop board 3 is connected to thebasic board 2 in an elastic manner. Hereby, it is obtained that sound waves, which reach thetop board 3 and penetrate into thebuilding element 1, have to propagate substantially, if not exclusively, via theinsulation material 4. By using anacoustic insulation material 4, such as wood fiber insulation board, a high absorption of the sound waves in thebuilding element 1 can be obtained, such that the possible remaining sound emitted by thebasic board 2 can be restricted. - The connection of the
top board 3 with saidinsulation material 4 is in this case at least partially, and here even entirely, obtained in that thetop board 3 is glued flat onto theinsulation material 4. -
Figure 2 clearly shows a second particular characteristic of thebuilding element 1, namely, that thebasic board 2, in accordance with the invention, is connected to thetop board 3 via theinsulation material 4, and that in other words, theribs 5 thus do not connect these boards 2-3 directly, as this is the case with the sandwich elements from the state of the art, for example, with the elements ofEP 0 450 731 ,EP 1 253 257EP 1 162 050top board 3, as is the case here, is connected to saidinsulation material 4 by means of aglue connection 7. Preferably, thelower board 2 is also connected to thisinsulation material 4 at least by means of aglue connection 7. In the example, saidglue connection 7 with theinsulation material 4 is not performed over the entire surface of the boards 2-3, but is interrupted at the height of theribs 5. The large surface of the boards 2-3 in self-supportingelements 1, however, results in a sufficient strength of theglue connection 7 with theinsulation material 4 in order to take up, for example, possible wind loads. - It is clear that the pressure strength or pressure stiffness of the represented
element 1, under a load perpendicularly to one of the boards 2-3, is determined substantially by the pressure strength or pressure stiffness of theinsulation material 4, and thus not or practically not by the pressure strength or pressure stiffness of the appliedribs 5. According to the invention, an elastic connection between the boards 2-3 is obtained. -
Figure 2 also represents that theribs 5 are connected to thebasic board 2 and preferably also to theinsulation material 4 located in between by means ofglue connections 7. However, theseglue connections 7 have little or no influence on said pressure stiffness or pressure strength of theelement 1, but indeed a positive influence on the resistance against possible bending and/or torsion loads. - From
figure 2 , a third particular preferred characteristic becomes clear, namely, that the distance x1 between theribs 5 and thebasic board 2 is non-existent or as good as non-existent and is smaller than the distance x2 between theseribs 5 and thetop board 3. In the example offigure 2 , theribs 5 namely are connected to thebasic board 2 via aglue connection 7, whereas no connection, but indeed and in accordance with the invention, anair chamber 8 is present between theseribs 5 and theupper board 3. This property leads to an improved acoustic insulation in combination with a good bending stiffness. - From the above, it is clear that the
building element 1 offigures 1 and 2 also shows a fourth particular preferred characteristic, namely, that there is a difference between the height H of theribs 5 and the thickness D of theinsulation material 4, wherein the height H of theribs 5 is smaller than the thickness D of theinsulation material 4 and wherein the possible distance x1 between saidbasic board 2 and theribs 5 is smaller than one half of said difference. In this case, this possible distance x1 is non-existent or almost non-existent, as theribs 5 are attached directly onto thebasic board 2 by means of aglue connection 7. In respect to the height H of theribs 5, it is also noted that these do not necessarily all have to be of the same height, however, preferably all have such a height that an acoustic uncoupling betweentop board 3 andbasic board 2 remains possible. - It is noted that a building element or
roof element 1, such as the one offigure 1 , in practice may show a length L which may be a plurality of times the width B thereof. The length L can be provided according to the size of the roof construction and preferably is between 2 and 8 meters, whereas the width B of theelement 1 depends on the number ofribs 5 theroof element 1 is showing, wherein a width B situated between 60 and 150 centimeters is preferred. Herein, the overall height A of aroof element 1 preferably can be chosen between 7 and 25 centimeters. The overall thickness D of theinsulation material 4 then corresponds thereto. - Said
basic board 2 and/ortop board 3 may be chosen, for example, from the series of wood particle board, sandwich-type plasterboard, plaster fiberboard, multiplex board, OSB board (Oriented Strand Board) and silicate board. - Said
ribs 5 or strips preferably consist of wood, such as spruce wood or pine wood, and preferably extend over the entire length L of theroof element 1. Preferably, eachrib 5 in longitudinal direction consists of a single piece and preferably has a thickness of 20 to 45 millimeters. Instead of being composed of a single piece, one or more of saidribs 5, in the longitudinal direction thereof, also can be composed of a plurality of parts, for example, by attaching shorter ribs to one another. Such attachment can be performed by means of a so-called finger joint. For an example of such technique, reference is made to the already namedEP 1 162 050basic board 2 and/or thetop board 3 also can consist of parts joined together. - It is expected that by means of a
building element 1, such as that fromfigure 1 , wherein such acoustically uncoupledtop board 3 is provided, an acoustic resistance value of Ra=44 dB(a) can be achieved, whereas a thermal resistance of Rc=4 m2K/W is achieved, whereas from experiments with a quasi identical, however, not uncoupled element, constructed according to the state of the art, namely, wherein the ribs connect the basic board and the top board, an acoustic resistance value of Ra=35 dB(a) only is resulting. Thus, the acoustic uncoupling of the invention provides for a very significant improvement of the sound-insulating properties of buildingelements 1. -
Figure 3 represents a variant, whereinribs 5 are attached to thebasic board 2 as well as to thetop board 3. Herein, it is obtained that the connection between thetop board 3 and theinsulation material 4 can resist wind loads even better. Possibly,such building element 1 also shows an improved bending and/or torsion stiffness. It is clear that thiselement 1 also shows the already above-mentioned particular characteristics. -
Figure 4 represents a deviating variant of abuilding element 1 and does not pertain to the invention, wherein the configuration of theribs 5 is such that thebasic board 2 and thetop board 3 show comparable, if not identical mechanical properties. Thus, in the example, this relates to an entirely symmetrically constructedbuilding element 1, wherein on thebasic board 2 as well as on thetop board 3,ribs 5 are provided. In the present case, the ribs of thebasic board 2 are separated from theribs 5 of the top board by anair chamber 8, which provides for said acoustic uncoupling. It is clear that good results of acoustic uncoupling may also be obtained with other materials, which are situated at the locations of theair chamber 8 represented in the drawings. According to the invention a material can be applied which has a smaller pressure strength of pressure stiffness than saidribs 5 and theinsulation material 4. For example, a material with a still smaller pressure strength or pressure stiffness than theinsulation material 4 itself. It is clear that the building element offigure 4 illustrates some of the characteristics of the present invention. -
Figure 5 shows a deviating variant of abuilding element 1 and does not pertain to the invention , wherein theribs 5 are not directly attached to thebasic board 2 or thetop board 3, but are situated in the mass of theinsulation material 4. Such element as well shows all particular characteristics mentioned herein above, however, in comparison to theelements 1 offigures 1 through 3 results in a lesser bending stiffness. - It is noted that with the
building elements 1 of the invention it is not necessary to work exclusively withglue connections 7 for connecting the boards 2-3 and/orribs 5 with theinsulation material 4. One or more connections can have been realized by theinsulation material 4 itself. This may be the case, for example, when working with polyurethane, which, in the production of thebuilding element 1, is foamed on one of the boards 2-3, between both boards 2-3 and/or between theribs 5. During testing, the connection obtained between foamed polyurethane and particle board has proven stronger than a separate glue connection between particle board and, for example, glass wool. One or more connections can have been realized by mechanical connecting means, such as by means of barbs, which grip into the insulation material. It is clear that all these connecting techniques can be combined with each other. -
Figure 6 represents another variant, wherein a heavytop board 3 is applied, wherein thistop board 3 preferably is made heavier than saidbasic board 2. For example, OSB board having a thickness of 18 mm or more could be used. Furthermore, theelement 1 is made identical to thebuilding element 1 represented infigures 1 and 2 and thus shows the same particular characteristic as theelement 1 from those figures. By means ofsuch element 1, an acoustic resistance value of Ra=50 dB(a) can be achieved. It is clear that also particularly effective acoustic resistance values can be obtained when the basic board is made heavier than the top board. -
Figure 7 represents a deviating variant of a roof element and does not pertain to the invention. Such roof element can be applied, for example, in a roof construction having the characteristics of the second aspect of the invention mentioned in the introduction. Herein, in this case, this relates to anelement 1 which is realized almost identical to theelement 1 fromfigures 1 and 2 , however, which is not provided with atop board 3. From the further detailed description, it will become clear thatsuch element 1 also can result in an inventive roof construction having a good sound-insulating effect.Such element 1 is particularly interesting for renovating existing roof constructions, wherein these roof constructions, for example, already comprise a cover consisting of boards, or any other roof floor, roof underlay or underlay board, which is provided on the truss, for example, on the outer side thereof. Such formwork, roof floor, roof underlay or underlay board prevents deformations of the insulation material in this deviating variant, when the insulation material is applied as a contact side with the existing roof construction. -
Figure 8 represents how theroof element 1 fromfigure 1 can be applied in aroof construction 9. Herein, it can be started from a relativelysimple roof framework 10, such as represented, wherein a limited number ofgirders 11 is used, onto which then theroof elements 1 are attached. As represented, the further roof covering 12 then can be provided on theseroof elements 1. For example, as represented here, roof tiles can be provided after roof laths 13 have been provided. Herein, the roof laths 13, in the example, are attached to the batten laths 6 or battens. Although in the example thebuilding elements 1 extend with their longitudinal direction from the gutter to the ridge, it is possible, according to a variant ofsuch roof construction 9, to place thebuilding elements 1 such that they extend with their longitudinal direction in the width of theroof construction 9. This is crosswise to the orientation of theseelements 1 represented here. It is clear that with such crosswise orientation, the orientation of the remaining portions of the roof construction, such as the batten laths, the roof laths and the girders, preferably is performed unaltered, such as represented infigure 8 . -
Figure 9 clearly represents the composition of theroof construction 9 fromfigure 8 . As is clear from the larger representation offigure 10 , it is possible to attach thebuilding elements 1 on theroof framework 10 without eliminating the acoustic uncoupling of thetop board 3 and thebasic board 2. To this aim, for example, U-shaped clamps 14 can be used, which are beaten with one extremity into theribs 5 and with another extremity are beaten through thebasic board 2 into theroof framework 10 orgirders 11. In order to render therib 5 accessible, in the case offigure 10 , locally ahole 15 is provided in thetop board 3. This may be realized, for example, by means of a holesaw.Such holes 15 may or may not be provided already during the production of thesebuilding elements 1. Instead of using such hook-shapedclamps 14, also two interconnected screws or nails can be used, of which one engages in therib 5, whereas the other penetrates into theroof framework 10 orgirder 11. In such case, the connection between the screws or nails can be realized, for example, by driving the respective screws or nails through a common connection element, which preferably is situated above saidrib 5. Said holes 15 preferably are made air-tight again after attaching theclamps 14, for example, by placing caps therein. -
Figure 9 shows thatpossible seams 16 between theroof elements 1 mutually can be finished both longitudinally as well as transversely, for example, by filling them with aninsulation material 17, such as polyurethane foam. Such finishing also maintains the acoustic uncoupling betweentop board 3 andbasic board 2. -
Figure 11 represents a variant, wherein mechanical coupling means 18 are provided on the sides of theroof elements 1. In the example, the edges are provided with a profile, for example milled, in such a manner that they allow realizing a connection of atongue 19 in a groove 20 among twoadjacent building elements 1. Here, too, the remainingseam 16 is finished further with aninsulation material 17, such as polyurethane foam. -
Figure 12 shows how thebuilding elements 1 offigure 7 , that do not pertain to the invention, can be applied for obtaining aroof construction 9 having a good sound-insulating effect. Theroof construction 9 comprises a separately provided board-shapedcovering 21, which is attached onto theroof framework 10 or thegirders 11. This can be the case, for example, when renovating an existing roof construction. Thebuilding elements 1 fromfigure 7 are fixed thereon by directing them with theirbasic board 2 outwards. Due to the presence of the board-shapedcovering 21, the risk of impressing or other deformation of the insulation material is minimized, by which an optimum sound reduction can be maintained. In the obtained result, thebasic board 2 of thebuilding element 1 is acoustically uncoupled from the board-shapedcovering 21. -
Figure 13 represents that also in the case of thebuilding elements 1 offigure 7 , it is possible to prevent an acoustic coupling between thebasic board 2 and the separate board-shapedcovering 21. In the example offigure 13 , this is realized in that the nails or screws 22 applied are connected to thebasic board 2 via a compressible material 23. To this aim, for example, a material 23 can be used having a compressibility which is closer to that of theinsulation material 4 than to that of theribs 5. -
Figure 14 represents another view on a roof construction, which is very similar to that offigure 10 . In this case, however, use is made of alternative attachment means instead of the U-shaped clamps 14 represented infigure 10 . In this case, the attachment means comprise ascrew 24 and abracket 25, which in this case engages in therib 5 as well as in theinsulation material 4. Further, thehole 15 here is sealed again with acap 26. Further, it is noted that in the example, the batten laths 6, instead of vertically above theribs 5, here are provided on the top board at a certain horizontal distance from theseribs 5, such that theholes 15 do not have to interrupt these battenlaths 6. -
Figure 15 shows that thetop board 3 of thebuilding element 1 can be provided with holes, via which theribs 5 are locally accessible to the attachment means 14-24-25.Figure 15 also shows that to this aim preferably the batten laths 6 are provided on thetop board 3 at a position where they are shifted over a certain horizontal distance in respect to theribs 5. Preferably, with such building element also caps 26 are supplied, which fit into said holes 15. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention abuilding element 1 is disclosed, more particularly for roof constructions, wherein thisbuilding element 1 is at least composed of abasic board 2 and atop board 3, between whichinsulation material 4 is located, and wherein said basic board 2-3 is provided with one ormore ribs 5, and wherein at least one of saidribs 5 is free from contact with at least one of saidtop board 3, and wherein thetop board 3, is provided with at least onehole 15, by which therib 5 can be reached. Preferably, eachrib 5 has been made accessible by means ofsuch hole 15 at least at one location. Still better, one or more of allribs 5 have been made accessible 0.5 to 5 times per meter by means ofsuch hole 15. It is clear that therespective holes 15 preferably are positioned at least partially vertical above saidribs 5. Preferably, saidtop board 3 is provided with batten laths 6, wherein these battenlaths 6 preferably are positioned on a location which is displaced horizontally in respect to saidribs 5, such that they do not have to be interrupted in order to reach theribs 5. Said holes preferably have a shape of which the diameter of the smallest inscribed circle is situated between 20 and 50 millimeters. The invention further also relates to a kit which comprises at least a building element according to the invention, wherein additionally the top board is provided with at least one hole via which the rib can be reached, and in that said kit moreover comprises at least onecap 26, which can be applied for sealing said holes 15. Preferably,such caps 26 allow obtaining a water- and/or air-tight sealing of thehole 15. Preferably, this relates to synthetic material caps, which effect such sealing already by fitting into the holes. Preferably, the kit of the invention also comprises attachment means, such as the above-mentioned attachment means. -
Figure 16 represents a further particular possibility, which can be applied in thebuilding elements 1 of the invention. Herein, at least theside 27 of thebuilding element 1, which is intended to be directed towards the roof gutter in theroof construction 9, thus, away from the ridge of the roof, is provided with aportion 28 which minimizes or even excludes the risk of a possible sliding off of thetop board 3. As in some preferred embodiments, thetop board 3 is connected to theinsulation material 4 by means of aflat glue connection 7 only, this risk is real. -
Figure 17 clearly represents that in this case astrip 29, for example, a wooden lath, is attached transversely on theribs 5. Thisstrip 29 forms a stop for a possible sliding off of saidtop board 3. Between thisstrip 29 and thetop board 3 in this case also apiece 30 of compressible material is provided. - It is clear that such means, which minimize the risk of the
top board 3 sliding off, can comprise astrip 29 and/or a piece of compressible material, which extend transversely over theribs 5, such as it is the case in thefigures 16 and 17 . - Generally, it is also noted that said
ribs 5, in the production ofsuch building element 1, do not necessarily have to be provided on the respective board 2-3 prior to adding theinsulation material 4 to thebuilding element 1. It is also possible to provide recesses in or between theinsulation material 4, in which recesses theribs 5 afterwards can be fixed. For example, a technique similar to the technique known fromEP 0 978 601 can be applied. - Further, it is also noted that where a
basic board 2 and/or atop board 3 is mentioned, these preferably, however, not necessarily, are intended to be directed outward, inward, respectively, in theroof construction 9. - Further, it is clear that the
building elements 1 of the invention can comprise any number ofribs 5 and that this number can vary from one to five or more, wherein theseribs 5 preferably all extend in the longitudinal direction of thebuilding element 1. Preferably, theribs 5 have a rectangular cross-section, wherein they are attached with one of the smallest sides of this cross-section on saidboards ribs 5 in thebuilding elements 1 of the invention cannot be compared to roof laths 13, battens 6, attachment laths or the like. Moreover, preferably they have a larger cross-section than such laths, roof laths 13 or battens 6. Contrary to laths, roof laths 13 orbattens 6, theribs 5 which are applied in thebuilding elements 1 of the invention, preferably show at least the feature that they are free or almost free from deformation by bending when they have a length of more than 5 meters and support their own weight. Preferably, theribs 5 applied according to the invention have at least a cross-section which is larger than 10 square centimeters and still better is larger than 20 square centimeters. It is known that laths, roof laths 13 andbattens 6 generally have a section which is smaller than 8 square centimeters. According to the invention, theribs 5, seen in cross-section, have a height H which is at least one half of the overall thickness A of thebuilding element 1. However in embodiments not pertaining to the invention, this is not necessarily so. For example, in the case of a building element similar to the building element offigure 4 , this may also be less than one half of the overall thickness A. Preferably, theribs 5, in such case, too, have a height H which is at least one fourth and still better one third of the overall thickness A of thebuilding element 1. - The present invention is in no way restricted to the embodiments described herein above; on the contrary, such building elements and roof constructions can be realized according to various variants, without leaving the scope of the present invention, as defined by the appended claims. So, for example, is it possible to apply the invention with so-called curved building elements. These are characterized in that said basic board and/or top board are curved according to an arc with a radius of, for example, 2 to 10 meters, and this preferably around an axis which is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the building element. These building elements are suitable, for example, as an acoustic roof element in a roof construction which has a certain rounding. Preferably, such roof elements extend with their longitudinal direction in the width of the roof construction.
