FR2588585A1 - Method for an exposed timber frame construction with a thin wall - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for an exposed timber frame construction in which the space between the structural elements 1 is filled with a thin wall 3 which may be covered beforehand with a paint, coating or decorative facing 4 and is installed, during the mounting operations, in a rebate 2 made in the timber framing elements and comprising, on the external side, a rectangular enlargement 5 with a base sloping inwards 6 receiving a sealing compound 7. The method according to the invention is intended for building permanent or leisure residences.

Description

 The present invention relates to a visible wood frame construction method.

 The constructive principle known as "timber framed" or "half-timbered" traditionally combines a wooden structure, generally hardwood, with a filling of various materials (daub, quarry, bricks, tuilots, etc.) made after elevation of the framework.

 In addition to the high cost of carrying out this filling, its major drawback is that it favors the penetration of rainwater by the days which are inevitably created between itself and the wood subject to significant dimensional variations.

 The method according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this disorder while significantly lowering the cost of construction. I1 consists in implementing during the assembly of the structure inside a rebate practiced in the elements of the wooden panel, a thin wall: for example quality-exterior particle board or autoclaved cement fiber board or exterior quality plywood panel, etc ..., possibly coated beforehand with a paint, a coating or a decorative thin coating.

 The rebate receiving the panel will be of a width such that it can be included without excessive play and of a depth allowing its maintenance over time taking into account the dimensional variations of the elements of the structure.

 According to a preferred embodiment, the rebate has a widening in the upper part on the outer side of rectangular shape with base sloping inwardly intended to facilitate penetration of the panel and called to receive a sealant.

 According to a variant, the triangular enlargement is located on the inside. I1 aims to promote penetration of the panel, the latter then being placed in a mastic bath.

 Figure 1 shows, in section, the method according to the invention.

 Figure 2 shows, in section, a variant of this process.

 FIG. 3 represents an example of application of the method.

 In Figure 1 is a wooden frame element (1) having a rebate (2) called to receive during assembly a thin wall (3) optionally coated beforehand with a paint, a coating or a decorative facing (4). On the outside, the rabbet comprises a rectangular widening (5) with an inwardly sloping base (6) intended to facilitate penetration of the wall and in which a sealing mastic (7) is used.

 In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the triangular enlargement (8) is made on the inside. I1 aims to facilitate the penetration of the wall (3) which is therefore placed in a mastic bath (9).

 The method according to the invention is intended for the realization of permanent or leisure habitats, it lends itself remarkably well to prefabrication in the workshop.

Claims (3)

 1) A method of construction with an exposed wooden frame, characterized in that the filling between the elements of the structure (1) consists of a thin wall (3) optionally coated beforehand with a paint, a coating or a decorative facing (4) and implemented during assembly in a rebate (2) formed in the elements of the wooden panel and comprising on the outside a rectangular enlargement (5) with a base sloping inwards (6) which receives a sealant (7).  2) Method according to claim 1 characterized in that the widening of the rebate is of triangular shape on the inner side (8), the wall then being placed in a mastic bath (9).  3) Method according to claim 1 or claim 2 characterized in that the wall is implemented on the outside and inside side.
