Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insulating module for mounting on the façade of an existing building and a method for post-insulating an existing building by means of one or more insulating modules.
  • the present invention also relates to a modular system for post-insulation and/or facade renovation of an existing building.
  • This post-insulation can be performed e.g. by manually mounting vertical posts and transversal beams on the building envelope. Insulation material is then placed in between these posts and beams, and facade cladding is applied at the outermost, constituting the new building envelope of the building.
  • the invention relates to an insulating module for mounting on the façade of an existing building.
  • the insulating module comprises an inner wall including a transversal roof metal profile and a transversal foundation metal profile between which a number of intermediate metal profiles extend.
  • the insulating module also comprises an outer wall including a transversal roof metal profile and a transversal foundation metal profile between which a number of intermediate metal profiles extend, and wherein an outside surface of the outer wall is provided with façade cladding.
  • the inner wall and the outer wall are mutually fixed at the transversal metal roof profiles and the transversal metal foundation profiles so that a cavity is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall.
  • Forming both the inner wall and the outer wall of the insulating module from metal profiles is advantageous in that it enables that both walls easily can transported around and be assembled in situ. This reduces the transportation cost and ensures a fast in situ assembly.
  • providing the outer wall with façade cladding is advantageous in that it hereby is possible to form a closed space inside the insulating module hereby lowering the thermal conductivity of the wall, and as the same time increasing the soundproofing quality of the insulating module and protecting the original facade of the building better.
  • One big drawback with forming the insulating modules from metal profiles is that metal typically is an excellent thermal conductor and the risk of unwanted conducting of heat in or out of the building is therefore increased.
  • air is a pour thermal conductor and by forming a cavity between the inner wall and the outer wall so that the two walls are only mutually connected at the transversal metal roof profiles and the transversal metal foundation profiles ensures that such an insulating module has a very low thermal conductivity - particularly in light of its weight, cost and thickness.
  • roof and foundation in e.g. the transversal roof metal profile and the transversal foundation metal profile refers to the roof end and the foundation end of the building on which the insulating module is mounted or is to be mounted - i.e. roof refers to upper end and foundation refers to lower end.
  • the inside surface of the inner wall comprises a vapour barrier.
  • Forming a vapour barrier on the inside surface of the inner wall is advantageous in that the risk of moisture build-up or condensing inside the existing building construction is hereby reduced.
  • the inside surface of the inner wall and/or the outside surface of the outer wall comprises a fire-resistant layer.
  • a fire-resistant layer - such as gypsum boards, metal sheets, slate, concrete plates or other - is advantageous in that it reduces the risk of fire spreading and reduces the damage of a fire.
  • the façade cladding is a fire-resistant layer.
  • the insulating module comprises brackets for mounting the module on a building façade.
  • Providing the module with brackets is advantageous in that it hereby is easier to mount the module.
  • the outer sheathing comprises façade cladding.
  • Providing the outer surface of the outer wall with façade cladding is advantageous in that it hereby is possible to provide the outside of the wall with desired qualities and look.
  • the metal profiles are interconnected by connection means.
  • connection means - such as screws, nails, rivets, welding, adhesive, interlocking geometry or other - is advantageous in that it ensures simple assembly and a more rigid structure.
  • the metal is steel.
  • thermal insulation means is arranged inside the cavity.
  • thermal insulation means inside the cavity is advantageous in that it reduces the thermal conductivity through the insulating module.
  • thermal insulation means is arranged between the metal profiles of the inner wall and between the metal profiles of the outer wall.
  • thermal insulation means between the metal profiles of the inner wall and between the metal profiles of the outer wall is advantageous in that it reduces the thermal conductivity through the insulating module.
  • each metal profile of the inner wall and the outer wall comprise identification means enabling that each unique metal profile can be uniquely identified.
  • Enabling unique identification of each unique metal profile is advantageous in that it hereby is possible to deliver the wall as an assembly kit in that the wall hereby easily can be assembled in situ according to a premade plan in which the assembly order and the specific placement of the specific metal profiles is laid out. There is therefore no need to measure the profiles as they can easily be identified from their identification means.
  • identification means is in this context to be understood as any kind of label, tag, inscription, marking, embossing, stamping, RFID tag, EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) or any other kind of manual or electrical means capable of holding information regarding the specific profile type.
  • the metal profiles are U-profiles.
  • Forming the metal profiles as U-profiles is advantageous in that a U-profile is strong, rigid and easy to manufacture.
  • a majority of the intermediate metal profiles of the inner wall is displaced in relation to a majority of the intermediate metal profiles of the outer wall as seen in a direction perpendicular to the inner wall.
  • the wall After the wall has been assembled the wall will most likely be filled with insulation material. And to ensure that this material gets into all nooks and corners of the inside of the wall this insulation material could advantageous be blown-in granular insulation material such as shredded paper, Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA), Styrofoam beads or similar insulation material suited for being injected into the inside of a metal profile cavity wall structure.
  • insulation material such as shredded paper, Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA), Styrofoam beads or similar insulation material suited for being injected into the inside of a metal profile cavity wall structure.
  • the transversal roof metal profile of the inner wall is parallel with the transversal roof metal profile of the outer wall and wherein the transversal foundation metal profile of the inner wall is parallel with the transversal foundation metal profile of the outer wall.
  • Forming the roof and foundation profiles parallel is advantageous in that it provides for parallel inner and outer walls and thus a constant thickness of the insulating module.
  • the transversal roof metal profile of the inner wall is parallel with the transversal foundation metal profile of the inner wall and wherein the transversal roof metal profile of the outer wall is parallel with the transversal foundation metal profile of the outer wall.
  • Forming the roof and foundation profiles parallel in each wall is advantageous in that ensures flush wall that are easier to install.
  • the intermediate metal profiles extends perpendicular in relation to the transversal roof metal profiles and the transversal foundation metal profiles.
  • Forming the intermediate metal profiles perpendicular to the transversal roof metal profiles and the transversal foundation metal profiles is advantageous in that the intermediate profiles hereby will be substantially vertical in the finished erected wall - which in turn will ensure that the intermediate metal profiles will be able to carry more weight of the superjacent roof structure or superjacent floor/storey.
  • the invention also relates to a method for post-insulating an existing building by means of one or more insulating modules.
  • the method comprises the steps of:
  • Forming the insulating module from metal profiles ensures a strong, thin and inexpensive module which easily and quickly can be assembled on site by means of a premade assembly instruction in that such a wall can be made of relatively few profiles - due to the double hull wall design. And by forming the inner and outer wall so that they in respect to thermal conductivity substantially is only connected at the two opposing edges - hereby forming an substantially continuous cavity between the inner and outer wall - is advantageous in that thermal condition through the insulating module hereby is reduced even if metal is an excellent thermal conductor.
  • the module would be constructed directly on the building façade. And all the other steps could also be performed in different order.
  • the insulation module is connected to the building through brackets.
  • the method further comprises the step of substantially covering an inside surface of the inner wall with an inner sheathing.
  • an inner sheathing to the inside surface of the inner wall - i.e. the surface facing into the building - is advantageous in that it can aid in providing rigidity to the wall structure, it can act as a vapour barrier and/or a fire-resistant layer and it can act as a barrier for insulating material in the wall.
  • the method further comprises the step of substantially covering an outside surface of the outer wall with an outer sheathing.
  • an outer sheathing to the outside surface of the outer wall - i.e. the surface facing away the building - is advantageous in that it can aid in providing rigidity to the wall structure, it can act as a vapour barrier and/or a fire-resistant layer and it can act as a barrier for insulating material in the wall as well as giving the building the desired façade look etc.
  • the method further comprises the step of arranging thermal insulation means inside the cavity.
  • Arranging thermal insulation means inside the cavity after the inner and outer walls have been erected and fixed is advantageous in that this will further reduce thermal conductivity of the wall.
  • the method further comprises the step of arranging thermal insulation means between the metal profiles of the inner wall and between the metal profiles of the outer wall.
  • Arranging thermal insulation means between the metal profiles of the inner wall and between the metal profiles of the outer wall after the inner and outer walls have been erected and fixed is advantageous in that this will further reduce thermal conductivity of the wall.
  • the method further comprises the step of providing identification means to metal profiles.
  • the insulating module is an insulating module according to any of the previously mentioned insulating modules.
  • the present invention further relates to using a modular system of the type initially mentioned, distinctive in that the bottom face and the upper face comprise a transversal roof metal profile for a front wall and a transversal roof metal profile for a back wall of a module, which transversal roof metal profile comprises a profile, preferably a U-profile or an angle profile, having a horizontal flange in use as well as at least one vertical flange in use,
  • the profiles are manufactured in advance and in well-defined lengths, depending on the size of the module(s) to be manufactured.
  • Long profiles can be composed of several profile units, e.g. to form a sufficiently wide module, so that the new facade that appears after an external post-insulation or facade renovation of a building can meet the wishes of the builder and/or architect for the appearance of the new facade of the building.
  • the modules are placed against the external wall of a building and fixed using brackets to the existing external wall, e.g. a concrete wall, brick wall or similar.
  • the modules can be assembled as pre-fabricated units at the factory with insulation layers as well as wind and water-resistant cladding, so that they merely have to be fixed against the external wall of the existing building at the construction site. This reduces the time consumption for the work at the construction site significantly, which reduces the total costs for the building renovation. Furthermore, assembly of the modules at the factory is independent of the weather at the construction site, which increases the certainty that the building renovation does not exceed the deadlines set as a result of poor weather.
  • Insulation, wind and water-resistant building envelope and/or external facade cladding can be mounted at the factory or at the construction site, as described in more detail below.
  • the modules can be assembled at the construction site, which renders a particularly flexible solution involving great security of supply, as the supplier or the builder merely need to stock a few different parts in order be able to manufacture modules of varying size and with varying thicknesses of the insulation layer in the module. For instance, it is possible to change the thickness of the insulation layer by merely using a wider or smaller edge profile, without it being necessary to wait for the procurement of other modules.
  • the width of the edge profile defines the depth of the module and thus the thickness of the layer of insulation used for the post-insulation of the building.
  • the edge profile has a back side, to which the transversal roof metal profile for the front wall and the transversal roof metal profile for the back wall are fixed.

  • the excellent insulation properties of the plate material i.e. low thermal conductivity, as expressed in a low ⁇ value, will contribute to reducing or eliminating the risk of thermal bridges occurring in the wall. This is due, among other things, to the edge profile insulating the connection between the framework of guide profiles in the modules and angle brackets which fix the modules to the existing external wall. Thereby, a thermal bridge cannot occur through the modules.
  • the edge profile is preferably provided with indents for angle brackets. These indents are perpendicular to the grooves and protrusions and are placed with predefined mutual distance. The depth of the indents is adapted to the angle brackets used to fix the modules to the external wall of the building, so that the depth of the indents measured from the bottom face of the grooves substantially corresponds to the material thickness of the angle brackets.
  • Foamed PVC in plate shape is well suited as material for the edge profile, as it has excellent insulation properties and low thermal conductivity, low combustibility, high strength and low weight and furthermore absorbs negligent amounts of moisture.

  • the resilient engagement between a tab and a hole can be combined with a nailing together or other form of fixing. However, it may turn out that several assemblies do not require supplementing by the fixed coupling.

  • thermal bridges are avoided in the wall structure. As there are gaps between the front wall and the back wall, and as posts located in the gap between the front wall and the back wall are displaced in relation to each other, the risk of thermal bridges is reduced.

  • the first tab is folded around a folding line in the horizontal flange, so that it is perpendicular to the horizontal flange. This makes the tabs face downwards, depending on whether the transversal roof metal profile is used for the sill or for the head.
  • the system according to the invention is distinctive in that the hole in the first tab is a rectangular hole.

  • the system according to the invention is distinctive in that the second tab in the second guide profile is S-shaped and adapted to engage with the hole in a first tab.
  • An S-shape on the first tab achieves a resilient effect in a particularly simple way. When the S-shape is folded partly out of the plane from the flange, it will be possible to fold it to such a position that it establishes a larger or smaller resilient force and thus safe engagement.
