Definitions

  • the present teachings relate to a wall panel assembly, a modular building unit, and to a method of mounting a window assembly to a wall panel assembly.
  • Modular buildings are prefabricated buildings that are formed from one or more modular units. These modular building units are manufactured in a factory away from the building site, and then transported to the building site so as to be assembled into a modular building. The modular building units are constructed so as to be capable being attached side-by-side, end-to-end, or stacked, which enables modular buildings to be produced having a variety of shapes and styles using a single repeatable modular building unit.
  • Each modular building unit is typically formed from a floor assembly, a roof assembly and one or more wall panel assemblies.
  • one or more wall panel assemblies of the modular building unit may be provided with an opening such that a window assembly can be mounted to the wall panel assembly.
  • Traditional arrangements for mounting windows to modular wall panels can be complex, and so time consuming, to install.
  • known arrangements for mounting window to modular wall panels require the windows to be clamped between inner and outer faces of the wall panels, which may limit the thickness of the of the wall panel assembly.
  • the present teachings seek to overcome or at least mitigate one or more problems associated with the prior art.
  • a wall panel assembly for a modular building unit, the wall panel assembly comprising: a wall panel comprising first and second wall panel members defining a space therebetween, and an opening through the first and second wall panel members for receiving a window assembly therein, wherein the opening defines a plurality of opening edge faces extending around said opening; at least one connecting member extending at least partially along each opening edge face; and a mounting arrangement mounting each connecting member to a respective opening edge face, wherein each connecting member comprises a substantially planar mounting surface at least partially covering the respective opening edge face for mounting a window assembly thereon.
  • This arrangement enables a window assembly to be mounted to the inner edge of an opening rather than being clamped between the inner and outer faces of the wall panel. This has been found to facilitate mounting of a window assembly to a wall panel assembly regardless of the thickness of the wall panel to which the window is to be mounted. Additionally, the use of the connecting members has been found to increase the speed at which the window assembly can be installed. Moreover, the use of connecting member has been found to help to reduce thermal bridging between the first and second wall panel members.
  • Each connecting member may be spaced apart from the first and/or second wall panel members.
  • This arrangement helps to reduce thermal bridging between the first and second wall panel members, and so through the wall panel assembly.
  • Each connecting member may comprise an elongate body defining first and second opposing elongate edges, and the first and second elongate edges may be spaced apart from the first and second wall panels.
  • This arrangement helps to reduce thermal bridging between the first and second wall panel members.

  • the insulating material may comprise polyurethane, for example a polyurethane foam, and/or polyisocyanurate, for example a polyisocyanurate foam.
  • the insulating material may provide structural support to the wall panel, e.g. to the first and second wall panel members.
  • the insulating material may act as a structural support member of the wall panel.
  • Each connecting member may comprise an elongate body defining first and second opposing elongate edges, and the second elongate edge may be castellated so as to define a plurality of enlarged regions and at least one reduced diameter region.
  • This arrangement helps to reduce thermal bridging between the first and second wall panel members.
  • the mounting arrangement may comprise an aperture through each connecting member in each enlarged region for receiving a fastener therethrough to mount the connecting member to the respective opening edge face.
  • This arrangement helps to reduce thermal bridging between the first and second wall panel members.
  • the mounting arrangement may comprise an anchor embedded in each respective edge face that is arranged to align with a corresponding aperture.
  • This arrangement facilitates placement, attachment and securing of the connecting members on the edge faces of the openings.
  • the enlarged regions may be spaced apart from the elongate ends of each connecting member.
  • This arrangement helps to reduce thermal bridging between adjacent connecting members, and so between the first and second wall panel members.
  • the mounting arrangement may comprise a male connector on the connecting member or opening edge face and a female connector on the other of the connecting member or of the opening edge face.
  • This arrangement facilitates placement and attachment of the connecting members on the edge faces of the openings.
  • the male connector may be provided on each connecting member and the female connector is provided on each opening edge face.
  • the female connector may be provided as an elongate groove on each opening edge face, and the male connector may be provided as an elongate rib extending from an underside of the connecting member so as to be received in the elongate groove.

  • Each connecting member may comprise an elongate body defining first and second opposing elongate edges, and the elongate rib may be provided in the form of an arm extending from the first elongate edge of the connecting member.
  • the groove may be spaced apart from the first wall panel member by a distance in the range 1-9mm, optionally in the range 2-8mm, optionally in the range 3-7mm, optionally in the range 4-6mm, for example approximately 5mm.
  • This arrangement helps to ensure a minimum spacing between the first edge of the connecting member and the first wall panel which helps to reduce thermal bridging between the first and second wall panel members.
  • the elongate rib may extend along an elongate length of the connecting member and may terminate a distance away from opposing ends of said connecting member.
  • This arrangement helps to reduce thermal bridging between the first and second wall panel members.
  • the mounting arrangement may comprise a plurality of apertures through each connecting member for receiving a fastener therethrough to mount the connecting member to the edge face, and the mounting arrangement may comprise an anchor embedded in each respective edge face that is arranged to align with a corresponding aperture.
