2_ 16 151 6 0 METHOD FOR THE CREATION OF EXPANSION JOINTS UNITING BUILDING
PANELS.
SPECIFICATION
The invention relates to a method for the creation 5 of the expansion joints uniting building panels, particularly plaster-fibre panels, where the panels are mounted on a wall sub-frame of wood or metal, and wherein the expansion joints are filled with a hardenable material.
It is known to connect building panels and particularly plaster-fibre panels at their expansion joints in such a way that the approximately Smm wide joints between the edges of the building panels are filled as far as is possible, after the panels have been appropriately brought together and fixed, with a so-called filler, particularly a plaster filler material, and, in further working steps, are pointed up. Such fillers are previously mixed and then, with the help of a tool, particularly a trowel, are laid into the joints. With this known method however, the expansion joints then as a rule represent the weakest points in the wall structure and have a lower tensile strength than the building panels themselves. In order to achieve the required tensile strength for the joints, with this known method, it is necessary to insert additional elements to increase the tensile strength of the joints. Thus, glass wool binders or the like are stuck on in order to increase the tensile strength of the joints. In order to achieve a surface on which coatings can be deposited, such as paint, plaster skim coats, wallpaper or foils, an additional smoothing process is then very often necessary, in order to provide at least the joint regions with a uniform base. Apart from the lower joint tensile strength, such a method is consequently very costly in 2 terms of materials and time. C4 It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of the type first referred to above in which just by the introduction of the hardenable material into the expansion joints one achieves a sufficient joint tensile strength, and consequently a sufficiently rigid connection between the building panels, whereby the costs in terms of materials, work and thus time can be substantially reduced. Also, with the method of the invention, it is possible to achieve a simple smoothing of the surface of the joints without special additional time being necessary. The disadvantages of the aforementioned known method are consequently avoided to a substantial degree.
This is achieved in accordance with the invention by the fact that at each expansion joint a trail of a single-component reaction adhesive is deposited on one edge face of the one building panel mounted on the wall construction and defining the expansion joint, and thereafter the edge face of the second building panel which defines the expansion joint is urged towards the edge face provided with the trail and is fixed in alignment therewith, with the reaction adhesive foaming and hardening to produce complete filling of the expansion joints under the action of moisture from the building panels and from the ambient atmosphere.
By this means the connection process is substantially simplified. The reaction adhesive can be deposited in a simple manner from conventional containers, for example cartridges, so that any mixing or pre-preparation of filler material or the like is unnecessary. The foaming leads with certainty to a complete filling of the expansion joints and also to the back-filling and consequently adhesion at the back of the building panels in the contact region, for 3 unnecessary. The foaming leads with certainty to a complete filling of the expansion joints and also to the back-filling and consequently adhesion at the back of the building panels in the contact region, for example in a support region, even if the joint space is initially not completely filled and if gaps or irregularities have been left between the faces of the panels and the wall sub-frame. The adhesive mass expelled outwardly from the expansion joint likewise hardens and forms a small bead projecting beyond the joint. This bead finally can be removed surprisingly easily, for example with the aid of trowel, since the adhesion of the adhesive is as a rule substantially smaller on the panel surface than on the panel edge.
is The adhesion and the cohesion of the hardened reaction adhesive is, as has been shown, so good in spite of the foam structure that high joint tensile strength is achieved, of the order of magnitude of that of the panel tensile strength (for example 2 to 3 N/mm2 for plaster-fibre panels), which, with such wall constructions, has the effect of a plate over the whole panel surface. The whole wall surface produced by the connecting process according to the invention comprises a uniformly rigid joint which is of particular significance in relation to stresses imposed by movement, heating effects or other forces. The inclusion of additional means to increase the joint tensile strength is completely unnecessary. Moreover, it has been shown that, even if there are some small irregularities in the adhesive external surface in the joint region after breaking away any hardened adhesive, the application of very small amounts of a suitable special material will give a smooth surface for the application of paint, plaster skim coats, wallpaper, foils or the like, although it is usually the case that 4 the invention are also suitable for fire protection structures.
overall therefore, the aforementioned method of connection according to the invention is essentially simple and made easy, and it is achieved without requiring additional means in the expansion joints to achieve sufficient joint tensile strength, as well as providing surfaces favourable for subsequent use.
In order to achieve the aforesaid properties and advantages, it has proved to be particularly advantageous if moisture- cros s- linking, polyurethanebased adhesives are used as the reaction adhesive.
Since as a rule the method of connection according to the invention is carried out with upright building panels, it is also of advantage, according to a further preferred feature of the invention, if an adhesive is used to which a filler or fillers are added in order to reduce or avoid drop formation on the vertical surfaces.
In order that the invention may be fully understood, one presently preferred embodiment will now be described in more detail by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawing. The drawing shows only one section, sufficient to understand the invention, through a wall construction with a wall subframe of wood and with plaster-fibre panels as building panels mounted thereon. In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view through a portion with two building panels supported by a wall sub-frame during the carrying out of the method according to the invention, and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view through a portion of the wall structure with plaster-fibre panels mounted on both sides of a wooden wall sub- frame support, after the foaming and hardening of the adhesive introduced into the expansion joints.
Referring first to Fig. 1, the plaster-fibre panels 1 and 2 which are shown on a support 3 are to be connected to each other at their expansion joint. For this purpose, the plaster-fibre panel 1 is first mounted on the support 3 in the desired position. Next, a trail 5 of a s ingle- component reaction adhesive, particularly a moisture-cross-1 inking, i.e. moisture reactive, polyurethane-based adhesive, is deposited on the edge face 4 of the plaster-fibre panel 1 which defines one side of the expansion joint. Then the edge face 6 of the second plaster-fibre panel 2 which defines the expansion joint is urged in the direction of the arrow 7 against the edge face 4 of the plaster-fibre panel 1 which is provided with the trail 5 and is fixed there in alignment on the support 3. The reaction adhesive forming the trail 5 foams under the action of moisture from the plaster-fibre panel 1 and from the ambient air until there is complete filling of the expansion joint, accompanied by hardening of the adhesive.
The state thus achieved is shown in Fig. 2 for two expansion joints produced on opposite sides of the support 3. As shown, any flash 8 which may be squeezed outwardly from the expansion joints can thereafter be removed very easily by a suitable tool, for example with a simple trowel. The foaming of the reaction adhesive in the expansion joint leads with certainty to a complete filling of the joint and in given cases also to back-filling and consequently adhes ion at the back of the plaster- fibre panels in the contact zone on the support 3.
The expansion joint link thus created leads to a homogeneously rigid overall connection of the building panels, particularly plasterfibre panels, on the 6 particular wall sub-frame, so that the entire wall surface has a uniformly rigid structure. It has been shown that the connecting method according to the invention can also be used for fire-protection structures, for example with F 30 to F 90 walls and the like.
The reaction adhesive which is introduced, and which in the first method step forms the trail 5 shown in Fig. 1, can suitably contain an additive or additives which serve to reduce or prevent drop formation on the vertical surfaces.
The trail 5 of adhesive may be of any appropriate cross-sectional shape. A bead of adhesive, as shown in the drawing, may be used, although a trail with a rounder or a flatter cross-section may alternatively be used.
In the described embodiment a wall subframe of wood in the form of the support 3 has been described. However, the method of the present invention gives just the same results, properties and advantages also with wall sub-frames of metal. Non-aligned joints can also be united according to the method of the invention.
