Definitions

  • the present invention relates to door arrangements for wet areas, such as bathrooms or other spaces exposed to great moisture.
  • wet areas or spaces such as bathrooms, toilets etc., often comprise some kind of means for water supply, e.g. tap, shower etc., plumbing or they are some other way exposed to great humidity and/or moisture.
  • water insulation is a layer, e.g. vapor barrier, arranged between the inner surface (e.g. tiles), that is exposed to the area, and other structures of the building.
  • piping In most modern wet areas, piping is installed inside the wall structures and, thus, it is not visible to the area.
  • the piping may include manifold(s) and other components, such as water meter etc., which may require maintenance and inspection time to time. Therefore, the user must have access to these components without breaking the water insulation of the area while meeting all requirements of water safety.
  • An objective of the present arrangement is to provide a watertight maintenance door for wet areas.
  • the present invention provides a door arrangement for wet areas, comprising a frame and a door, wherein the frame is annular component having an outer rim and an inner rim, wherein the inner rim forms an opening, and the outer rim comprises a top surface for receiving a sealing membrane foil for forming a waterproof connection between the door arrangement and a wet area surface; and the door comprises an inner surface and an outer surface so that when the door is closed, the outer surface is exposed to the environment and the inner surface is against the frame and the opening.
  • the arrangement comprises a sealing strip and a circumferential protrusion, which protrusion forms an inner area having the same or greater area as the opening, and the sealing strip is configured to correspond the form of the protrusion so that the protrusion is arranged to be against the sealing strip for forming a watertight connection between the door and the frame when the door is closed.
  • the advantage of the arrangement is that it provides an easy maintenance access inside the water insulated wall structures without breaking the water insulation.
  • the protrusion is arranged on the frame surrounding the opening, and the sealing strip is arranged on the inner surface of the door so that the protrusion is extending from the frame against the sealing strip on the door when the door is closed.
  • the protrusion is arranged on the inner rim of the frame.
  • the protrusion is a flange around the opening, which flange is bended from the frame towards the door.
  • the protrusion is arranged on the inner surface of the door and the sealing strip is arranged on the frame so that the protrusion is extending from the inner surface against the sealing strip on the frame when the door is closed.
  • the door comprises at least one projection arranged on one edge of the door, which projection is in parallel direction as the inner surface of the door.
  • the frame comprises at least one slot arranged to receive the projection of the door for fastening the door to the frame.
  • door comprises more than one projection and the frame comprises the same number of slots arranged to receive each projection.
  • the door comprises at least one opening, wherein the opening is at the proximity of the opposite edge to the projection(s).
  • the door comprises more than one opening, wherein the openings are at the proximity of the opposite edge to the projection(s).
  • the frame comprises a threaded hole or holes which are located so that the opening or openings of the door are aligned with the hole or holes when the door is closed.
  • the door is fastened to the frame with captive panel screws, which are fastened to the threaded hole(s) through the opening(s) of the door.
  • the frame comprises two components
  • the frame component comprises a bended section arranged to surround the door, when the door is closed.
  • a slot or the slots are arranged at the frame component.
  • the door arrangement for wet areas comprises a frame 100 and a door 200 attachable to the frame, which are presented separately in figures 1 and 2 respectfully to illustrate the features of the components more clearly.
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate one possible embodiments of the frame and the door, and other embodiments and optional and/or additional features are described herein.

  • the frame may be fastened to the wall of the wet area, for example bathroom wall, with construction glue and/or with mechanical attachment, e.g. screws. Then, the sealing membrane foil is applied over the top surface 104 and to the wall to form a watertight connection between the wall and the frame.
  • the frame 100 comprises a circumferential protrusion 105 around the opening 103, which protrusion is extending from the frame towards the door, when the door is fastened to the frame, i.e. the protrusion is perpendicular to the top surface 106 of the frame.
  • the protrusion 105 forms an inner area having the same or greater area than the opening 103, i.e. the protrusion is at the inner rim 102 or between the inner rim 102 and the outer rim 101.
  • the form of the protrusion 105 corresponds the form of a sealing strip arranged on the door, and the protrusion is pushed against the sealing strip on the door, when the door is closed, for forming a watertight connection between the frame and the door.
  • the circumferential protrusion 105 may be arranged on the inner rim 102 of the frame 100.
  • the protrusion 105 may be for example a flange around the opening 103, which flange is bended from the frame 100 in perpendicular direction, i.e. towards the door 200 when the door is closed.
  • the circumferential protrusion may be separate rigid component fastened to the frame around the opening 103.
  • the frame may comprise an annular bended section 108 arranged to surround the door, when the door is closed, i.e. the bended section 108 is arranged around the opening 103 and between the inner rim 102 and the outer rim 101, and the door 200 is placed at the center of the bended section 108 to close the opening 103.
  • the axial cross-section of the bended section 108 at one side of the opening may have s certain shape. It may be for example arched or angular.
  • the shape of the bended section 108, in front view, may be rectangular or circular and it may correspond to the shape of the door 200 and/or the frame 100.
  • the frame 100 may be formed of one piece or it may be formed of several pieces.
  • the frame may comprise two components, an annular membrane 106 for attaching the door arrangement to the surface, e.g a wall, of the wet area, and a frame component 107 for fastening the door to the frame.
  • the annular membrane 106 comprises the inner rim 101 and the top surface 104 for receiving the sealing membrane foil as described earlier.
