Definitions

  • the present invention relates to spacing means for use in attachment of facing panels such as drywall panels to structural walls, in particular to brick or masonry structural walls of commercial or domestic buildings.
  • the invention also relates to methods for providing facing panels such as drywall panels on structural walls, particularly structural walls that may be subject to settlement following repair of subsidence damage.
  • Damage to brick or masonry walls, particularly crack formation, may arise from subsidence of the ground supporting a wall or its foundations. Following repair of such damaged walls, for instance by strengthening of foundations by pumping of grout into the ground below the wall, and/or application of ties to the wall itself, further settlement or movement of the wall may still occur as the repaired ground settles or dries out. Typically, such further settlement following repair of the structural wall may lead to significant movement over several years following repair.
  • Interior rooms are typically lined with plaster. It is now conventional to provide a facing panel such as a drywall, which may be skimmed with plaster to give a smooth finish, as the internal wall surface for domestic or commercial buildings.
  • a facing panel such as a drywall
  • plaster For structural walls, wooden studding is usually affixed to the brick or masonry of the structural wall to form a skeleton or framework to which drywall panels are then fastened.
  • a further object of the invention is to obviate the need for post-repair monitoring of settlement.
  • a further object of the invention is to enable full repair, including structural repair, drywall replacement and replacement of interior fittings and fixtures, to be effected more rapidly, after subsidence damage to a building has occurred.

  • a second aspect of the invention provides a method for attaching a facing panel substantially parallel to a face of a wall, wherein spacing means attaching the facing panel to the wall are arranged to hold the facing panel at a substantially fixed distance from the face yet to permit relative movement between the wall and the drywall in a direction substantially parallel to the face.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un moyen d'espacement pour fixer un panneau de cloison sèche à un mur, lequel moyen d'espacement autorisant un mouvement latéral, mais non un mouvement perpendiculaire, entre le mur et le panneau de cloison sèche. Cela permet de fixer des panneaux de cloison sèche à des faces internes de murs structurels réparés suite à des dégâts liés à un affaissement, même si un affaissement plus approfondi du mur structurel est toujours en cours. Le moyen d'espacement absorbe le mouvement relatif provenant du tassement post-réparation, de telle sorte que la fissuration et les dégâts de la cloison sèche sont rendus minimaux. Des équipements et des raccords peuvent être fixés à la cloison sèche, comme pour des cloisons sèches classiques. L'appareil et le procédé permettent la réalisation de réparation et décoration intérieures de bâtiments, qui ont été réparés de façon structurelle suite à l'affaissement, juste après les réparations structurelles et sans besoin de surveiller le tassement post-réparation ou d'attendre la fin d'un tel tassement.
