Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a perimeter sealing component for attaching floor and wall insulations to corners of a room.
  • the invention further relates to a method for manufacturing of such a perimeter sealing component.
  • floor insulation systems are incorporated into building designs to minimize floor impact noises and airborne sound transmissions. Creating airspace between the structural and isolated floors, while decoupling the two floors, effectively controls noise transmission.
  • An optimal sound insulation is achieved when the top floor surface (e.g. the parquet flooring or concrete top layer) is fully isolated from the building structure and non-structural components, such as duct work and piping of an under floor heating.
  • perimeter insulation strip In order to improve the sound insulation between the floor and the walls of a building, it is customary to leave a gap between an edge of the floor construction and a perimeter wall, the gap being filled with a so called perimeter insulation strip.
  • the material used for the perimeter insulation strip requires being flexible in order to permit an expansion of the floor construction, and thus, flexible foam materials have conventionally been used.
  • These flexible perimeter insulating strips conventionally exhibit a single strip, which is arranged along the whole perimeter of a wall.
  • a problem arising in connection with the conventional perimeter insulating strips is that the strips have to be bend into the shape of the corners of a room, so as to be arranged along the whole perimeter of the walls. This has been found to cause capillary channels through which concrete can leak from the top floor (i.e. fluid concrete top layer) to the construction floor, resulting in a physical connection between the two layers of the floor. Needless to say that this physical connection between the different layers of the floor construction causes a substantial decrease of the sound insulation of a building, that is of the contact insulation.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide for a perimeter sealing component, which can be installed easily and quickly, without having to bend the perimeter sealing strip around corners of the room.
  • the present invention concerns a perimeter sealing component for attaching floor and wall insulations to corners of a room, the perimeter sealing comprising a first portion extending in a first direction, wherein the first portion has a first surface, which is adapted to be attached to a first wall of the room.
  • the perimeter sealing component of the present invention further comprises a second portion extending in a second direction, which is different from the first direction.
  • the second portion also has a first surface, which is adapted to be attached to a second wall of the room.
  • the perimeter sealing component comprises a substantially rigid, predefine shape, which is adapted to cover the corner of the room.
  • the present invention relates to a separately fitted perimeter sealing component having a pre-define shape, which fits perfectly into the corner areas of a room.
  • the perimeter sealing component of the present invention is furthermore adapted to be attached to floor and wall insulations, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the perimeter sealing component comprises a third portion being attached to the first and second portions.
  • the third portion is adapted to be attached to a floor of the room.
  • the third component may extend substantially horizontally from the first and second portions of the perimeter sealing component, so as to align with the substantially horizontal floor of the respective room.
  • substantially horizontal means that the third portion extends in the same direction as the floor of a room, which is frequently far from being perfectly horizontal.
  • the third portion of the perimeter sealing component may further be fitted with an adhesive layer, which is disposed on a first surface of the third portion, which is adapted to be in contact with the floor of the room. Therefore, the third portion is preferably self-adhesive, and this easily connectable to the floor construction of a room.
  • the first and second portions of the perimeter sealing component are formed as substantially vertical portions.
  • substantially vertical refers to the fact that the first and second portions are constructed so as to conform to the walls of a building, which are often far from being perfectly vertical, as has already been described in connection with the substantially horizontal third portion.
  • the substantially horizontal first and second portions may have a height of 5 cm to 8 cm, so as to cover the complete height of conventional flooring constructions.
  • at least the first and second portions comprise an adhesive layer on their first surfaces. Consequently, the first and second portions can easily be attached to the first and second walls of the room, by means of the adhesive layer.
  • the adhesive layer maybe made from a pressure sensitive adhesive such that the inventive perimeter sealing component simply needs to be pushed against the corners of a room in order to obtain a perfect fit.
  • the perimeter sealing component further comprises a liner, preferably a cover tape, disposed on top of the adhesive layers. That is, before the perimeter sealing component is attached to the corners of a room, the liner, which protects the adhesive layer during transport, is striped of by the user.
  • the perimeter sealing component maybe made of a soft foam material.
  • the perimeter sealing component maybe made of polyurethane foam, which was cut and heat-sealed into its pre-defined shape.
  • the invented perimeter sealing component is preferably constructed in such a manner that the second direction of the second portion is substantially particular to the first direction of the first portion.
  • the second portion is preferably arranged orthogonally to the first portion of the perimeter sealing component.
  • the first and second portions can be connected to each other such that two different perimeter sealing components are constructed.
  • the first and second portions maybe arranged to each other in such a manner that the perimeter sealing component is adapted to fit into an inner corner or onto an outer corner respectively.
  • the present invention further relates to a sound insulation for the flooring area of a room.
  • the inventive sound insulation comprises a plurality of floor insulations, wall insulations and at least one inventive perimeter sealing component.
  • the wall insulations which can be constructed as perimeter insulating strips, are attached to the at least one perimeter sealing component at at least one corner of the room.
  • the inventive sound insulation comprises several perimeter sealing components for each corner the room. Consequently, each piece of wall insulation is attached to two perimeter sealing components at their first and second end portions.
  • the wall insulations are attached to the at least one perimeter sealing component by means of at least one adhesive tape.
  • the at least one adhesive tape maybe used to attach and cover adjacent edges of the wall insulations and the perimeter sealing component.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the inventive perimeter sealing component.
  • the method comprises the following steps:
  • the inventive perimeter sealing component can be produced from commonly available perimeter insulating strips, which are attached along a miter joint. Therefore, the method of the present invention provides for a simple and cost efficient way of producing the advantageous perimeter sealing components.
  • the first and second perimeter insulation strips are connected to each other by means of heat sealing.
  • the heat sealing maybe performed for a period of 45 to 60 minutes, so as to provide a mechanically strong and waterproof joint, which prevents undesirable leakage of fluid material there through.
  • the cutting angle is chosen to be between 40° and 50° with respect to a longitudinal axis of the first and second strips. Consequently, the first and second strips can be attached to each other at a right angle, so as to fit perfectly into the corners of a room.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show first and second embodiments of the inventive perimeter sealing component 10, 20.
  • the first embodiment of the perimeter sealing component 10 is adapted to be attached to an outer corner

  • the first portion extends in a first direction, which is different from a second direction of the second portion 12, 22.
  • each of the first and second portions 11, 21, 12, 22 comprises a first surface, which is adapted to be attached to first or second walls of the room. It should be noted that Figures 1 and 2 only show the second surfaces of the first and second portions 11, 12, 21, 22 which are opposite to the first surfaces thereof.
  • the perimeter sealing component comprises a substantially rigid, pre-defined shape, which is adapted to cover a corner of the room.
  • first and second portions 11, 12, 21, 22 of the perimeter sealing component 10, 20 are permanently fixed to each other along said miter joint.
  • the perimeter sealing components 10, 20 shown in Figures 1 and 2 each comprise a third portion 13, 23, which is attached to the first and second components 11, 12, 21, 22.
  • the third component 13, 23 is adapted to be attached to the floor of the room.
  • the third portion 13, 23 extends substantially horizontally from the first and the second portions 11, 12, 21, 22 of the perimeter sealing component 10, 20.
  • the third portion 13 according to the first embodiment of the perimeter sealing component 10 extends around the first and second portions 11, 12 of the perimeter sealing component 10.
  • the third portion 23 of the perimeter sealing component 20 according to the second embodiment extends directly in between the first and second portions 21, 22.
  • the perimeter sealing component 10 of the first embodiment is configured to fit an outer corner
  • the perimeter sealing component 20 of the second embodiment is configured to fit an inner corner of the room.
  • the first and second portions are constructed as substantially vertical portions, preferably with a height of 5 cm to 8 cm.
  • the height and direction of the first and second portions 11, 20, 21, 22 are adapted to the particular circumstances of the floor construction.
  • Figures 1 and 2 further show that at least the first and second portions 11, 12, 21, 22 may comprise an adhesive layer 14, 24 on their respective first surfaces.
