Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fastening system for fastening sandwich-structured composite panels to a support structure.
  • a fastening system for fastening sandwich-structured composite panels to a support structure.
  • Sandwich-structured composite panels are fastened to the support structure by screws.
  • thick sandwich-structured composite panels are used as thermally insulated façade cladding panel elements, partition wall panel elements or ceiling panel elements.
  • the thickness of the panel may be e.g. 230 mm.
  • the length of the screw is usually about 30...40mm longer than the thickness of the panel. Long screws are needed for fastening the panels to the support structure since the screw extends through and beyond the whole thickness of the panel, and when tightened, the screwhead abuts against the outer surface of the panel. Long screws have a drawback that they are costly.
  • the objective of the invention is to alleviate the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the present invention provides a fastening system for fastening sandwich-structured composite panels to a support structure.
  • the fastening system comprises a sandwich-structured composite panel comprising a first face skin of sheet metal, a second face skin of sheet metal, and a core made of thermally insulating material arranged between the first face skin and the second face skin. The first and second face skins are attached to the core.
  • the fastening system further comprises a fastener for fastening the sandwich-structured composite panel to the support structure.
  • the fastening system comprises an installation hole formed through the first face skin and the core, and an elongated sleeve insertable into the installation hole.
  • the sleeve is made of non-metallic, galvanically isolating and thermally insulating material.
  • the sleeve comprises a tubular portion having a first end and a second end.
  • the sleeve has a hollow interior defined by a side wall of the tubular portion.
  • the sleeve further comprises a bottom wall at a second end and a collar flange encircling an open mouth at the first end.
  • the sleeve has a length extending in the installation hole from the first face skin towards the second face skin.
  • the sleeve forms an installation guide for the fastener which is insertable into the interior and fastenable through the bottom wall. When the sleeve is in the installation hole, the collar flange abuts against an outer surface of the first face skin. The fastener being fastened to the support structure presses the second face skin against the support structure.
  • the technical effect of the invention is that the fastening system enables easy and fast panel installation with short and cheap screws.
  • the sandwich-structured composite panel can be provided by factory-made installation holes.
  • the sleeve can be installed into the installation hole either in the factory or on the site.
  • a short fastener is attached through a pre-manufactured hole in the bottom of the sleeve into the support structure.
  • the pre-manufactured hole may be drilled or punched, for example.
  • the sleeve is equipped with a collar flange round the outer face skin in order to enable wind suction load transfer to the support structure. Because the length of the sleeve matches exactly with the panel thickness, there is no risk for failures in the outer face skin during fastening.
  • the sleeve has a length corresponding to a combined thickness of the core and the first face skin, whereby when the sleeve is in the installation hole, the bottom wall abuts against an inner surface of the second face skin.
  • the fastener is at least one of a metal screw, a wood screw, a self-drilling screw, a self-tapping screw, a concrete fastener.
  • the sleeve is made of plastic-based material.
  • the core comprises foamed polyurethane.
  • the core comprises polyisocyanurate (PIR).
  • the core comprises mineral wool.
  • the core may be a board of foamed polyurethane, polyisocyanurate or mineral wool or any combination thereof.
  • the sandwich-structured composite panel is a façade cladding panel element, or a partition wall panel element, or a ceiling panel element.
  • the fastening system comprises a flashing to cover a seam between two sandwich-structured composite panels which are adjacently next to each other, the flashing having two parallel longitudinal edges both of the edges having an overbent portion forming a U-shaped groove.
  • the flashing is attached by the aid of the collar flanges of the sleeves.
  • the collar flange comprises a stepped flange portion insertable to said U-shaped groove for attaching the flashing.
  • the fastening system comprises a cap attachable to the mouth of the sleeve.
  • the cap has a cap flange portion extending over and beyond the periphery of the collar flange of the sleeve.
  • the flashing is attached by the aid of the cap flange portions, the cap flange portions being insertable to said U-shaped groove for attaching the flashing.
