Abstract
Window and door apertures in externally insulated metal-framed building walls are formed and filled by fixing a closure member 2 within pre-formed aperture, so as to extend outwardly to the outer surface of the insulation 5, and then attaching the door or window frame 4 to the closure member by means of various connecting devices, thus ensuring that the closure member and frame are rigidly connected. <IMAGE>
Description
Inprovements in or relating to forming and filling apertures in i:etal-framed buildings
This invention relates to forming and filling apertures in panels used as modular units in the assembly of metal-framed buildings.
In our U.K. patent specification 2,119,828B we have described and claimed a wall for a metal-framed building in which a load-bearing framework of galvanised steel is sandwiched between layers of sheet material and the outer layer, of insulating material, is able to pass water vapour outwardly to a cavity between the insulation and an outer-ost clawing wall. This insulating layer is preferably held to the fratiework by means of a stand-off as described in UK Patent application 8710492.
There are however a number of residual problelts associated with such a metal-franed wall construction such as location and joining of adjacent panels, drainage of any condensed moisture from within the panel, the fitting of doors and windows into the frame and eaves arrangements.
In our co-pending patent application 87.22039 we have described a building panel for a rnetal-franed building comprising a load-bearing structural framework of metal members with alayer of vapour-permeable insulation material on the outer surface of the framework; characterized in that the panel is enclosed within a peripheral rectangular frame attached to the metal framework members, which frame serves to hold the insulation to the framework, to prevent the ingress of moisture and to facilitate location and inter-fitting of adjacent panels.
It is an object of the present invention to form and fill openings in such a load-bearing metal-framed building panel e.g. for the insertion and fixing of door or window frames into the wall of such a building.
This invention consists in a method of forming and filling an aperture in a wall of a n,etal-framed building, having a layer of vapour-permeable insulation material on its outer surface, comprising forming an aperture of suitable size to take a door or window-frame, fixing a closure-member to a metal frame-member to extend outwardly to the outer surface of the insulation, and attaching the door - or window-frame to the closure-member either directly or indirectly.
Preferably the closure member is a plastics extrusion of generally right-angled section.
Preferably the door or window frame member is attached to the closure-member by means of a connecting piece which may be generally linear or right-angled in shape.
Preferably the insulation material is held to the metal frame member by means of a plug and socket type stand-off connector as described in our UK patent application No.8710492.
The invention will now be further described by reference to the accompanying 6 figures of diagrammatic drawing in which;
FIGURE 1 shows a method of fixing a window jamb within an aperture in a steel-framed building.
FIGUhE 2 shows a method of fixing a window head into a steel framed building
FIGURE 3 shows method of fixing a window-cill into an aperture in a steel-framed building.
FIGURE 4 shows an alternative method of fixing a window-head into an aperture in a steel-framed building.
FIGURE 5 shows another method of fixing a window head into an aperture in a steel-framed building, and
FIGURE 6 shows yet another alternative method of fixing a window head into an aperture in a steel-framed building.
Similar numerals will be used for similar parts in all 6 drawings.
With reference to all 6 figures, the steel-frame member is designated 1, the extruded plastics closure member is designated 2, the connecting-piece (where present) is designated 3 and the door or window-frame member is designated 4. In all figures also the thermal insulation layer is designated 5, a vapour-permeable membrane is designated 6 and the stand-off used to retain the insulation is designated 7. A wall-tie attached to 7 is designated 8 and the outer cladding wall is designated 9. The inner surface of the steel frame is normally faced with plaster-board (designated 10).
With reference first to FIGURE 1, a steel-fran,ed building member, designated 1, acts as the underlying structural member. Screwed to member 1 is the closure-member 2 of generally right-angled sectional shape. Screwed in turn to 2 is connector-piece 3 which is then attached by screws or bolts to the door or window-frane nember 4 to be supported in the aperture in the steel frame. On the outer surface of 1 is fixed a layer of insulation material 5 which is faced on its outer surface by a vapour-permeable membrane 6 held in place by stand-off 7 to which is attached wall-tie 8 thus allowing the outer cladding wall, of brick - or block-work, 9 to be tied to the main steel-framed load-bearing structure.The inwardly-facing surfaces of the steel-frame are faced with plaster board 10 as shown.
Turning to Figure 2, which is largely self-explantory, the window head member 4 is attached to closure member 2 by means of connecting-piece 3 by means of screws or equivalent fixing means.
Turning to Figure 3 the window cill member 4 is attached to steel-frame 1 by means of closure member 2 and connecting-piece 3.
Turning to Figure 4, steel france 1 has attached thereto closure member 2, connecting piece 3 which is clipped to 2, by means of clip 11, and which, in turn, is screwed to window-head component 4.
The space between window head 4 and the wall 12 above it may be packed as required.
Figure 5 shows another way of connecting closure-member 2 to connecting - piece 3 by means of clip 11 with a screw passing through a hole in 2 and into the window - head member 4.
Finally, Figure 6 shows how closure member 2 can be attached directly to the window frame-head member without the use of the interconnecting piece 3 which is shown on Figures 1 to 5.
Claims (7)
1. A method of forming and filling an aperture in a wall of a
metal-framed building, having a layer of vapour-pernleable insulation material on its outer surface, comprising forming
an aperture of suitable size to take a door or window-frame,
fixing a closure-member to a metal frame-member to extend
outwardly to the outer surface of the insulation, and
attaching the door - or window-frame to the closure member
either directly or indirectly.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the closure member is a
plastics extrusion of generally right-angle section.
3. A method as claimed in claims 1 or 2 wherein the frame is
attached to the closure member by means of a connecting-piece.
4. A method as claimed in claim 3 wherein the connecting-piece is
linear or right-angled.
5. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the insulation is
attached to the metal frame by means of plug-and-socket type
stand-offs.
6. A metal-framed building wall having a door or window-frame
inserted therein by a method according to any one of claims 1
to 5.
7. A method of inserting a door or window-frame in a metal-framed
building substantially as hereinbefore described.
