Definitions
- This invention relates to an insulated building structure provided with a room side building frame and to a hanger for such a structure.
- One aim of the present invention is to provide an insulated building structure having a hanger system which facilities installation in the real conditions encountered on a building site and/or which is quicker to install.
- the present invention provides an insulated building structure as defined in claim 1. Additional aspects of the invention are defined in other independent claims. The dependent claims define preferred and/or alternative embodiments.
- the invention provides an advantageous system for circumstances in which it is desired to provide thermal and/or acoustic insulation on the room side of a building structure such as a wall, roof or ceiling by using a hanger to retain a plasterboard or wood board surface spaced from the building structure and providing the intervening cavity with thermal insulation.
- the present invention provides:
- the building structure may comprise a roof, notably an inclined roof and in particular roof rafters. Alternatively, it may comprise a wall, for example an external wall, or a ceiling.
- the building structure may be part of a residential house.
- the insulated building structure may be provided during renovation of an existing building, for example to improve thermal insulation of the building or during replacement of part of the building structure. Alternatively, it may be provided when initially constructing the building.
- room side of the building structure is used herein to indicate the inside side of the building as opposed to the outside of the building.
- the room side of the building structure is the loft side of the building structure as opposed to the side which will be outside the finished building.
- the layer of thermal insulation maintained on the room side of the building structure may be mineral wool or rigid foam, for example polyurethane or polystyrene; it is preferably mineral wool insulation. It may have an uncompressed thickness which is ⁇ 10cm, ⁇ 12cm or ⁇ 15cm and/or ⁇ 40cm, ⁇ 35cm or ⁇ 30cm.
- the length of the hanger, particularly the length of the hanger rod, may be selected according to the thickness of the thermal insulation; hangers of different length may be provided, notably for use with different thicknesses of thermal insulation.
- the thermal insulation may comprise glass mineral wool, notably having a density which is ⁇ 10 kg/m 3 or ⁇ 15 kg/m 3 and/or which is ⁇ 50 kg/m 3 or ⁇ 45 kg/m 3 . It may comprises rock mineral wool, notably having a density which is ⁇ 25 kg/m 3 or ⁇ 30 kg/m 3 and/or which is ⁇ 180 kg/m 3 or ⁇ 150 kg/m 3 .
- the layer of thermal insulation may have a thermal conductivity A which is less than 40 mW/m.K and/or which is at least 20 mW/m.K.
- additional thermal insulation and/or layers of thermal insulation is provided, for example an addition layer of thermal insulation, notably mineral wool, provided between rafters of a building structure.
- the hanger comprises a rod having a building attachment at one of its end and a batten attachment at its other end.
- the rod is preferably substantially straight and made to be substantially non-deformable under the loads it is intended to support. It may comprise a metal rod, notably a steel rod; it may be circular in cross and may have a diameter which is ⁇ 5mm and/or ⁇ 15mm.
- the building attachment of the hanger which is intended to be secured to the building structure may be a continuation of the rod. It is preferably secured directly to the building structure, for example by being embedded in the building structure without any additional fixing.
- the building structure comprises a wooden frame or a wall, for example a brick or concrete wall
- the building attachment may be configured to be embedded directly in the frame or wall.
- the building attachment may comprise a threaded portion adapted to be screwed directly in to the building structure, notably a self-tapping threaded section which does not require pre-drilling of the building structure.
- a threaded portion is preferably configured to avoid or minimise snagging when it passes through the desired insulation material.
- the threaded portion is adapted to pass through mineral wool, it is preferable that the thread is smooth to avoid snagging.
- the threated portion may comprise a knurled shoulder adapted to provide a bore in the building support adapted to the diameter of the hanger rod; this ensures a desired fit, for example a slight compression fit, between the bore and the rod and may be used to improve stability of the hanger at the building support.
- the batten attachment is adapted to have a batten secured to it so that the hanger supports the batten and secures the batten at the building structure spaced from the building structure by the hanger rod.
- the batten attachment may comprise a plastics material; it may be injection moulded.
- the hanger may comprise a thermal break to avoid or reduce the hanger providing a thermal bridge; a plastics batten attachment may provide an advantageous thermal break in the hanger, particularly when the rod is metal.
- the batten may be a metal batten, notably a steel or galvanised steel batten; it may comprise a planar batten face against which a sheet building material may be arranged and webs which project from opposite edges of its face to form a substantially U shaped cross section. Each web may further comprise an arm projecting inwards.
- the batten is a furring, for example a furring adapted to have sheet building material secured to it by screws.
- the furring may be a F45, F47 or F60 type furring.
- the batten attachment is configured to facilitate attachment and securing of the intended batten.
- the batten may comprise a furring groove, notably an annular furring groove, adapted to receive and retain the inwardly projecting arms of the furring, for example in a sprung fit and/or clip fit arrangement.
- Such annular furring grooves may be intended to be arranged in a plane which is parallel to the planar face of the furring.
- the tilting connection between the batten attachment and its rod may be used to compensate for any imperfect alignment of the rod.
- the batten attachments of each hanger arranged at a building structure should be coplanar.
- the term imperfect alignment of the rod of the hanger means an alignment which is different from its nominal desired alignment or its nominal desired alignment with respect to the building structure, notably:
- the hanger is preferable configured to support a weight of at least 50kg, preferably at least 70kg, more preferably at least 90kg. It may be configured such that it is not rated to carry a weight of greater than 200 kg.
- the building sheet material adapted to be secured to the battens may comprise wall boards, ceiling boards, sheets of plaster board or wooden sheet material, for example sheets of chip board, fibre board, plywood or orientated strand board.
- the vapour barrier membrane is preferably secured to the hangers without being pierced, for example by being clipped to the hangers, notably by being clamped against the head of the hangers by a batten which is secured to the hanger.
- the vapour barrier may be a plastics membrane notably comprising a sheet of polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polyester or combination thereof; it may comprise a metallised plastics sheet; for example having an aluminium coating. It may comprise a reinforcing scrim, grid of spunbound fabric, for example a glass fibre mesh.
- the membrane may have:
- the attachment between the rod and the batten attachment of the hanger is preferably positioned at or close to the batten attachment, for example at a distance which is ⁇ 30 mm, notably ⁇ 20 mm or ⁇ 10 mm from the batten attachment. Tilting of the batten attachment preferably does not affect the orientation of the portion of the hanger between the building structure and attachment between the rod and the batten attachment.
- the attachment between the rod and the batten attachment is positioned at or close to the room side surface of the thermal insulation; in such a configuration, tilting of the attachment portion causes little of no displacement of the rod with respect to the thermal insulation.
- attachment between the rod and the batten attachment of the hanger is provided by a ball and socket connection.
- the ball and socket may have interacting convex and concave contact surfaces which may be spherical or part spherical.
- attachment between the rod and the batten attachment is provided by a deformable connection; tilting of the deformable connection may comprise elastic deformation or plastic deformation.
- the connection may comprise a resilient connector, for example a spring; it may comprise an elastomer, for example of rubber or of elastomeric material.
- the rod is provided with a connector adapted to be used to rotate the rod about its axis, notably using a screwdriver or electric screwdriver, to secure the rod to the building structure.
- the connector is preferably accessible when the batten attachment is assembled with the rod. This allows attachment of the rod to the building structure when the batten attachment and the rod are already assembled together.
- the insulated building structure comprises, notably in the following order, from the outside side of the building to the room side of the building structure:
- Fig 1 shows a prior art arrangement of a building structure, in this case spaced, inclined rafters 1001 of an inclined roof of a loft of a residential house.
- the room side of the structure is finished with sheets of plasterboard 1002 which are screwed to a room side building frame provided by a series of parallel, steel furring battens 1003.
- the structure is constructed by sequentially:
- the present invention provides an improved arrangement for providing such room side building frames.
- the hanger 1 shown in Fig 2 comprises a rigid metal rod 3 having a screw threaded building attachment 5 at one end and a batten attachment comprising a head 10 at its other end.
- the screw threaded building attachment 5 is configured to allow it to be screwed through a layer of mineral wool thermal insulation without snagging directly into the building structure, notably in to a wooden rafter or beam.
- the head 10 of the batten attachment comprises an injection moulded plastics material; it is secured to the rod 3 by a ball and socket joint, the ball 9 being integral with and provided at one end rod 3 and the socket being provided as part of the head 10.
- An opening 25 in the head 10 allows access to a torx cross-headed connector 23 to rotate the rod about its axis, notably using an electric screwdriver, to screw the threaded attachment end 5 of the rod into the building structure.
- the head 10 also comprises an annular furring groove 13 in which the arms 17 of a furring batten 19 are receivable, to secure the furring 19 to the head 10 of the hanger 1, notably as a spring fit. Only a portion of the furring 19 is illustrated in Fig 2 .
- a vapour impermeable membrane 13 Prior to attaching the furring 19 to the head 10, a vapour impermeable membrane 13 is generally arranged over the head 10 so that this is subsequently held in place against the head 10 by the furring 19.
- the ball and socket attachment between the head 10 and the rod 3 of the hanger 1 allows the head to tilt in any direction with respect to the axis 15 of the hanger 1.
- This tilting of the batten attachment 10 of one of a series of hangers allows for compensation of any imperfect alignment of an individual hanger rod, for example due to the rod being screwed in to the building structure such its axis 15 is not perpendicular to the building structure or to the desired plane of the room side building frame to be formed by the battens 19.
- a protrusion 21 of the head 10 interacts with ball 9 to limit the permissible tilt of the head 10.
- a ball and socket connection between the head 10 and the rod 3 of the hanger is configured with a ball portion 123 provided as part of the head 10 and a plastics socket portion 109 secured to the rod 3, in this example being secure as a snap fit on the rod around a retaining ring 112. Interaction between a stop portion 121 of the socket portion 109 and the head 10 limits the amount of possible tilt of the head 10 with respect to the rod 3.
- a cross-headed connector (not shown) at the socket end of the rod 3 is accessible prior to attachment of the head 10 to screw the rod into the building structure.
- the head 10 is attached to the rod 3 through a deformable connector 220 which allows the head 10 to tilt with respect to the axis 15 of the rod 3.
- the deformable connector 220 in this example is a resilient connector provided by a spring.
- the tilting of the batten attachment head 10 of one or more hangers 1 facilitates correct alignment and positioning of a furring.
- Possible misalignment of, notably, the angle of the rod of an individual hanger for example if the rod is not perfectly perpendicular with respect to its rafter, is compensated for by tilting of the hanger head 10 so that the furring grooves of an imperfectly angled hanger rod are aligned to be coplanar with those of the hangers in its row when its furring is attached.
- This increases the acceptable degree of tolerance when installing each hanger and thus facilitates construction of the system. This is illustrated in Fig 5 which shows three spaced hangers each secured to spaced rafters (the spacing is not shown to scale).
- the rod 3 of the middle hanger is imperfectly aligned as it is not perfectly perpendicular with respect to the rafter (the axis is not parallel with respect of the left and right hangers).
- the tilting of the batten attachment head 10 of the middle hanger compensates misalignment of the angle of the rod and allows correct alignment and positioning of a batten.
- Fig 6 shows insulation material provided by batts of glass mineral wool 50 vertically assembled as a compression press fit between rafters 51 at the inside of an inclined roof.
- the rafters 41 provide a building structure to which a room side building frame will be attached.
- Fig 7 shows a laser source 52, for example attached to a tripod or to the building structure, arranged to project a horizontal laser beam indicating the desired position of the later installed batten attachment head of each hanger 1 of a horizontally extending row of hangers.
- the laser is also used to indicate the positions at which spaced markings 53 are provided on the two opposed lateral walls at the predetermined position and distance from the rafters 51. Alternatively, the position of the desired markings may determine by measuring from the building structure using a ruler.
- Fig 8 shows the positioning of the first of a plurality of glass mineral wool batts or rolls which together form a layer of thermal insulation 60 positioned against the rafters 51 on the room side of the rafters.
- This can be considered as a second layer of thermal insulation which is installed, working horizontally in the Fig 8 example, over the first series of insulation batts 50.
- This second thermal insulation layer is installed starting from the bottom end of the inclined roof and working progressively towards the top end of inclined roof, each subsequent insulation batt being positioned against the rafters above the previously installed batt. Horizontal installation of the thermal insulation layer reduces the amount of non-useable offcuts.
- the batts of the second layer are held in place by retaining straps (61, 61', 61", 61"') which are stapled to the underlying rafter 51 and aligned with the left edge of the rafter 51.
- a retaining strap is stapled to a rafter at a position corresponding to the lower edge of the insulation batt; the lower edge of the insulation batt is then positioned so that it lies against the rafters; the retaining strap is then passed over the front surface of the insulating batt and used to help push the insulating batt into position against the rafters; the retaining strap is held tight so that it partially compresses the insulation batt and is then stapled to the rafter 21 at a position corresponding to the top edge of the insulation batt.
- the retaining strap may be fixed at the purlin, as illustrated in Fig 9 .
- One retaining strap is used per rafter and the position of the retaining strap provides an indication of the position of the rafter underneath, in this example the left edge of the strap indicating the position of the left edge of the rafter.
- the straps temporarily hold the batts in place without their room side surfaces bulging below their desired position; this facilitates subsequent operations; notably, it allows subsequent positioning of the laser beam close to the room side surface of the batts without bulging of a batt cutting the laser beam.
- Use of the straps may not be required with all type of insulating materials; for example, some press-fit rock mineral wool slabs are sufficiently stiff to remain in place without the need for straps.
- Fig 10 shows the completed layer of insulation material covering the underlying rafters and held in place by a series of straps. The compression of the insulation material is not illustrated.
- a plurality of spaced hangers 1 are screwed into the rafters through the layers of thermal insulation 60 from the room side of the building structure.
- the laser source 52 is again positioned so that the horizontal laser beam is aligned with the pre-set markings 53 and thus indicates the desired position of the batten attachment head of each hanger 1 of a horizontally extending row of hangers.
- the first hanger of a horizontal row of hangers is secured to a rafter of the building structure by being screwed through the layer of thermal insulation from inside the loft into an underlying rafter.
- the desired position is the intersection between i) the laser beam and ii) the position of the underlying rafter which is indicated by the strap.
- the hanger 1 is screwed into the underlying rafter to a depth at which the laser beam intersects a depth indicator, for example a depth indicator provided on the electric screw driver being used.
- a depth indicator for example a depth indicator provided on the electric screw driver being used.
- the laser beam intersects with the hanger, thus providing a visual indication that the hanger is suitably positioned.
- the remaining hangers of the row are then attached in a similar way.
- the laser beam is then repositioned to indicate the desired position of the next horizontally extending row of hangers, and so on.
- each hanger head 10 The use of the laser beam to indicate the desired position of each hanger head 10 along the horizontal row of hangers and the desired distance of each hanger head 10 from its rafter facilitates co-linear horizontal alignment of each hanger head in a row and coplanar alignment of each hanger head 10 of the system.
- the straps are removed so that the thermal insulation is held in position against the rafters by the heads of the hangers.
- gentle pulling on a strap is generally sufficient dislodge its staples and remove the strap which may subsequently be re-used. Removal of the straps releases the compression of the glass mineral wool batts which expand to provide a substantially planar front surface. Alternatively, the straps may be cut to release any compression but left in place.
- horizontal furring battens 19 are then secured to each horizontally extending row of hanger heads with a vapour barrier membrane 30 positioned between the furring 19 and the glass wool batts.
- the furrings 19 comprise arms that snap-fit into the furring grooves of each hanger head 10 with the membrane 30 being clamped between the furring and the hanger head 10 without being pierced.
- vapour barrier membrane 30 The edges of the vapour barrier membrane 30 are then sealed, for example by being taped to an adjacent portion of vapour barrier membrane or to an adjacent wall, purlin or other building structure. This provides a vapour barrier between the room side of the loft and the external roof. Similarly, any joints between adjacent pieces of the vapour barrier membrane are joined and sealed, for example use adhesive tape.
- the furrings 19 provide a room side building frame attached to and spaced from the underlying rafters of the building structure with an intervening layer of thermal insulation. Sheets of plasterboard (not shown) are subsequently screwed to the building frame provided by the furrings. The space separating the sheets of plasterboard (or other building sheets) and the insulation may be used for the passage of, for example, electrical cables.
- the tilting of the batten attachment head 10 of one or more hangers 1 facilitates correct alignment and positioning of a furring.
- Possible misalignment of, notably, the angle of the rod of an individual hanger for example if the rod is not perfectly perpendicular with respect to its rafter, is compensated for by tilting of the hanger head 10 so that the furring groove of an imperfectly angled hanger rod is aligned to be coplanar with those of the hangers in its row when its furring is attached. This increases the acceptable degree of tolerance when installing each hanger and thus facilitates construction of the system.
