  • Region 605 is defined by a plurality of interconnect elongate struts that collectively define a containing frame having the cage-like structure.
  • a set of lengthwise and widthwise extending struts 604b define a perimeter footprint of the retainer 600 with the lengthwise and widthwise struts 604b connected via corner struts 604c that together define a cuboidal open cage structure defining internal cavity region 605.
  • the structure is supported by a set of bracing struts 604a that extend between struts 604b and across side faces of the retainer 600 and a rear face 800.
  • An opposed contact face 801 of retainer 600 is generally open and is not obstructed by support struts 604a. Accordingly, with pad 107 located within cavity 605, the majority and in particular at least 80 or 90%, of the planar pad front face 108 is exposed for contact against the underside surface 502 of adaptor plate 500.
  • Retainer 600 is releasably mountable at adaptor plate 500 via a set of attachment clips that project from retainer contact face 801.
  • retainer 600 and in particular lengthwise and widthwise extending struts 604b comprises fingers 602 that project outward from and perpendicular to front face 108.
  • Each finger 602 comprises a barb 603 directed inwardly towards pad front face 108.
  • the length of each finger 602 is greater than a thickness of adaptor plate 500 so as to allow barbs 603 to be resiliently biased against and to hook over the raised adaptor plate edges 504 at plate face 501. Accordingly, with pad 107 housed within the cage-like retainer 600, pad 107 may be releasably clipped into contact with the bracket 100 via the mating of the retainer 600 onto adaptor plate 500 that is in turn secured to foot 101.
  • the configuration of figures 5 to 7 is advantageous to provide thermal isolation of bracket 100 and composite board 203 via the intermediate positioned adaptor plate 500 and pad 107.
  • Adaptor plate 500 also assists with the thermal isolation of bracket 100 and board 203 by providing an additional body of relatively low thermal conductivity between bracket 100 and board 203.
  • the configuration of adaptor plate 500 and retainer 600 and in particular the cage-like structure of retainer 600 is advantageous to impart sufficient structural strength to the insulation layer 107 and to avoid loading induced deflection of the insulation layer assembly when mounted in position within a rainscreen system of figures 2 to 3 . That is, the retainer 600 and the adaptor plate 500 when coupled together are capable of transmitting load from the bracket 100 to the board 203 via attachment bolts 200. Accordingly, the subject invention is advantageous to provide both the desired structural attachment strength whilst achieving the desired thermal isolation of the various components of the rainscreen system of figures 2 to 3 .
  • Example materials of the thermal isolating pad 107 are detailed below. The following examples are not limiting and the subject invention includes other alternative specific implementations having constituent materials that differ from those indicated. The relative concentrations of the constituent materials may also be selected to suit specific applications.
  • Pad 107 comprises a material composition comprising components having thermal insulation characteristics including in particular silica particulate based materials.
  • the material of pad 107 comprises at least one fibrous component.
  • pad 107 comprises a foil cover provided at one or both faces.
  • Table 1 - composition of pad 107 comprising CryogelTM Z available from Aspen Aerogels, Inc., MA 01532, USA. Chemical name CAS No.
  • Bracket 100 comprising pad 107 according to the subject invention is advantageous to provide thermal performance enhancement over existing bracketry arrangements.
  • the thermally isolating characteristic of the subject bracket 100 is achieved, in part, as the contact surface area of pad rear face 109 is at least equal to or greater than rear face 104 of foot 101 such that no part of foot 101 is capable of contacting the support substrate onto which bracket 100 is mechanically attached.
  • pad 107 is capable of compression in use as bracket 100 is secured to the support substrate (board 203) via attachment bolts 200 without any reduction in the thermal conductivity resistance of pad 107.
  • the present pad 107 is further advantageous to provide the desired structural performance and in particular to withstand shear and torsional forces transmitted through bracket 100 when bracket 100 is installed within an external cladding system according to figures 2 and 3 . That is, bracket 100 due to the choice of material of pad 107 is not configured to deflect appreciably in a vertical plane due to shear loading and also not to twist about its longitudinal axis due to torsional forces. Bracket 100 achieves the desired minimal deflection during use as it comprises a single pad only mounted at one end of the bracket. In one implementation, the pad comprises a density in a range 0.16 g/cm 3 to 0.2 g/cm 3 .
  • pad 107 comprises at least one fire retardant component.
  • pad 107 further comprises a material composition comprising silica particulate based components having thermal insulation characteristics and at least one fibrous component including for example fibrous glass.
  • the fire retardant may comprise a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide, aluminium oxide, aluminium oxide hydroxide, or compounds including aluminium, phosphorous, nitrogen, antimony, chlorine, bromine, magnesium or zinc.
  • the fire retardant comprises a clay within a polymer matrix including at least one organomodified clay.
  • the clay comprises a montmorillonite.
  • the fire retardant component comprises an inorganic compound such as antimony (III) oxide (Sb 2 O 3 ).
  • Table 2 Composition of pad 107 comprising PyrogelTM XT-E available from Aspen Aerogels, Inc., MA 01532, USA.

  • pad 107 is configured to withstand high temperature environment typically associated with a fire.
  • the fire retardant is included at a concentration of 1 to 20% by weight.
  • the flame retardant is configured to provide a pad 107 that does not disintegrate or decompose when exposed to temperatures of up to 650 °C.
  • bracket 100 is configured to exhibit no or only minor deflection under loading (as would typically be encountered when bracket 100 is mounted within the cladding systems of figures 2 and 3 ) during and following exposure to fire.
  • bracket 100 to satisfy further international standards such as EN 13501 (BR 135) - Fire Performance of External Thermal Insulation for Walls of Multistorey Buildings.
  • bracket 100 comprising a material of example 2 (PyrogelTM) is capable of satisfying the (BR 135) BS 8414 and EN 1364-1/2 test criteria.

  • Example 3 is a variation of example 2 in which pad 107 comprises at least one fire retardant component in addition to comprising silica particulate based components having thermal insulation characteristics and at least one fibrous component including for example fibrous glass.
  • the fire retardant may comprise a silicate, belite, calcium monosilicate, calcium hydrosilicate, calcium metasilicate, calcium orthosilicate, grammite, or Ca 2 SiO 4 .

  • pad 107 is configured to withstand high temperature environment typically associated with a fire.
  • the fire retardant is included at a concentration of 1 to 30% by weight.
  • the flame retardant is configured to provide a pad 107 that does not disintegrate or decompose when exposed to temperatures of up to 650 °C.

  • bracket 100 comprising a material of example 3 (SpaceloftTM) is capable of satisfying the (BR 135) BS 8414, and EN 1364-1/2 test criteria as an A2 rating and ASTM E 84 fire test as a Class A rating.
  • pad 107 does not comprise a foil cover provided at one or both faces.
  • the present fire retardant pad 107 according to examples 2 and 3 is advantageous to withstand shear and torsional forces transmitted through bracket 100 (when mounted within an external cladding system according to figures 2 and 3 ) and not to deflect appreciably in a vertical plane due to shear loading and also not to twist about its longitudinal axis due to torsional forces during and after exposure fire at high temperatures of up to 650 °C.
  • Such a configuration is achieved as the pad 107 does not disintegrate and maintains substantially its pre-fire physical and mechanical characteristics and composition.
