Abstract

An architectural moulding comprises a body comprising a layer of bulk filler material 42, there being a colouring agent present throughout the bulk filler material layer. Preferably there is another layer of material 41 which is capable of closely moulding around the surface features of a mould so that the architectural moulding can, for example, be configured to represent wood or stone material.

Description

ARCHITECTURAL MOULDING AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE ThEREOF The present invention relates to the field of building materials, and particularly, although not exclusively ,to an improved architectural moulding and a method of production thereof.
It is known to provide intricately shaped architectural mouldings, such as cornices, ceiling roses, coving and the like, comprising a bulk material, for example gypsum or plaster, and a reinforcing agent embedded within the bulk material, the reinforcing agent comprising horse hair, hessian, or glass fibre matting, in order to give strength and rigidity to the bulk material.
In the fitment of interiors for marine vessels, such as ferries, cruise liners etc there is a problem with conventional architectural fittings, for example shelving, wooden panelling, door furnishings and door fittings, that during a fire a large amount of heat may be produced in a confined space due to the fittings burning. In passenger vessels, particularly of the luxury cruise liner type, for reasons of aesthetics, there is a high use of wood for interior fitments. The wood has a high calorific value which results in generation of a large amount of heat during intense fire conditions.
The calorific value of an interior architectural feature is also of importance in publicly accessible buildings such as, for example, public houses.
Additionally, in marine application, weight of the fittings is also a consideration in their use, and generally the lighter the fittings the better, since the weight, especially above the water line may affect stability and performance.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an architectural moulding comprising: a body comprising a layer of bulk filler material wherein a colouring agent is present throughout the bulk filler material layer.
By providing colouring throughout the filler material, a natural material such as wood or stone may be accurately reproduced as an architectural moulding comprising the bulk filler material.
Preferably, the colouring agent is distributed substantially uniformly throughout the body. The existence of a colouring agent throughout the bulk filler material enables a coloured three-dimensional surface texture of a natural material to be accurately reproduced on the outer surface layer.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided an architectural moulding comprising a body comprising a later of bulk filler material, the body having an outer layer comprising a hardener agent.
By providing a hardened outer surface, the body of the architectural moulding may be made of relatively thin dimension.
Preferably, said outer surface layer material is capable of being cast is a substantially fluid form, and then setting to a solid form.
Preferably, said outer surface layer comprises said hardener agent mixed with said bulk filler material.
Preferably, said hardener agent is capable of mixing with said bulk filler material. The hardener agent may be mixed with the bulk filler material prior to setting of the outer surface layer.
Preferably, said outer surface layer material is capable of closely forming around features of dimension in the range 0.1 mm to 2mm.
Preferably, said hardener agent comprises a polymeric material.
Preferably, said outer layer comprises a substantially non-combustible material.
Preferably, the moulding comprises a reinforcing material, such as a mineral material, eg. fibre glass sheeting. This may give rigidity to the moulding and allow a relatively thin body in the form of a sheet or panel.
For example a combined thickness of body and outer layer may be in the range 2mm to 25mm. This may allow relatively thin sheet or panel materials, eg plywood, to be accurately copied. Relatively thin mouldings may have an advantage of light weight.
Preferably, said bulk filler material is settable from a mouldable form to a solid form.
Preferably, said bulk filler material comprises a substantially noncombustible material.
The bulk filler material may comprise gypsum or plaster.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing an architectural moulding, the method comprising mixing a bulk filler material with a colouring agent and introducing the bulk filler material into a mould.
Preferably, said colouring agent is miscible with said bulk filler material, such as to substantially uniformly colour said bulk filler material throughout said bulk filler material throughout said bulk filler material.
According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing an architectural moulding, the method comprising the steps of: (i) introducing a first layer of material into a mould said first layer comprising a hardener agent; and (ii) introducing a second layer of a bulk filler material to the mould, such that said first layer forms an outer surface to said second layer, said first layer being capable of forming to a hardness greater than a hardness of said second layer.
Preferably, said first layer comprises a minor proportion of said moulding and said second layer comprises a major proportion of said moulding.
Preferably, in said step (i) above, said first layer of material comprises a hardener agent capable of bonding with said bulk filler material.
Preferably, the method comprises the step of introducing a reinforcing agent to the bulk filler material, whilst the bulk filler material is in fluid form.
Preferably the method further comprises the step of, when the moulding is removed from the mould, wiping an outer surface of said moulding, said outer surface previously in contact with the surface of said mould, with a fluid staining agent.
By providing a light weight filler material and a non-combustible reinforcing and filler material, the calorific value of the architectural moulding may be low, as compared with a natural material.
The outer surface may be stained using a paint, by dragging or wiping a cloth or the like holding the paint, over the outer surface. This may produce the effect of introducing the paint to pores or recesses in the outer surface, in combination with the colouring of the filler material, a surface which realistically mimics stone, wood or other natural material.
For a better understanding of the invention, and to show how embodiments and specific methods of the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows schematically a first architectural moulding according to a specific embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 shows in cross section, a structure of a second architectural moulding according to second specific embodiment of the present invention; and Figures 3 to 5 describe steps of a specific method of manufacturing an architectural moulding.
Referring to Figures 1 to 5 of the accompanying drawings, an architectural moulding and a method of manufacturing the same are as follows: Firstly, a mould is taken from a natural material of which it is required to make an architectural moulding copy. For example the mould could be the mould from a cornice, a piece of coving material, a ceiling rose, or in particular a slab of stone material or a panel of wood. Whilst intricate mouldings, such as cornices, covings may be reproduced by the method, herein after, since a primary application of the specific method is the replacement of natural materials such as wood panelling or stone surfaces by an architectural moulding, the specific method will be described in relation to mouldings which represent wood panelling or stone surfaces.
The mould 30 comprises a rubber, latex, or similar flexible material which is introduced to a surface of the natural material, for example to the surface of a panel of wood or the like. The rubber, latex or similar flexible mould material is introduced to the panel in fluid form, such that the mould material contacts intimately the surface of the panel. As the mould material sets solid, the surface detail of the panel is faithfully reproduced in the mould material. When set, the solid mould material is flexible and can be removed from the panel, leaving a faithful imprint of the panel including an imprint of all the surface detail of the surface of the panel.Such detail may include features of the scale as small as 0.1 mm to lmm or so width, and is capable of showing the grain on a panel of wood, or the intricate individual grains of sand of, for example, a sandstone material.
Once the mould 30 is removed from the panel, the mould is placed level, such that the surface detail features are positioned on the floor of the mould 31. The mould in this position is shown in cutaway cross section in Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings.
A first layer of material, 41 which is capable of closely moulding around the surface features of the mould floor and which is capable of setting from a fluid state to a solid state, is coated over the floor 31 of the mould.
The first layer of material preferably comprises a hardener agent. The hardener agent may comprise for example, a polymeric liquid resin which may set from a liquid or gel-like state to a solid.
The material of the first layer may comprise the hardener agent alone, but preferably comprises the hardener agent mixed with the bulk filler material. Preferably the first layer material is mixed with a colouring agent.
Following forming of the first layer, a second layer, of bulk filler material 42, for example gypsum mixed with water is poured in fluid state into the mould, on top of the first material. This stage is shown in Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings.
A colouring agent is mixed with the bulk filler material prior to casting in the mould. For example a brown paint which matches the basic material colour of the wood panel to be reproduced may be thoroughly mixed with the bulk filler material whilst in fluid form such that the colour is distributed uniformly throughout the filler material.
A reinforcing material 43, for example a glass fibre matting may be laid into the mould, on top of the filler material, whilst the filler material is still fluid. The reinforcing material sinks into the filler material and becomes embedded in the still fluid filler material. Further layers of fluid bulk filler material and reinforcing material may be cast on top of the first filler material and first reinforcing material layer, to give structure shown in Figure 5 of the accompanying drawings.
The architectural moulding is then left to set, wherein the filler material hardens and becomes rigid as reinforced by the reinforcing material, and the first layer hardens to give a hardened outer layer which accurately reproduces the surface texture of the floor of the mould.
After setting, the flexible mould is removed from the architectural moulding.
At this stage, the moulding may be of a substantially uniform colour throughout, for example a basic brown colour where the moulding represents a wood panel. The hardened outer surface layer of the moulding is then coloured to give a realistic finish, by wiping a paint ladened cloth or roller across the outer surface of the moulding. For example where the architectural moulding is being configured to represent a wood panel, the base colour of the filler mix may be a light brown colour whereas the colour of paint wiped over the outer surface may be a darker brown or black. The darker coloured paint settles in the pits and crevices of the outer surface layer of the moulding, the combination of which gives a realistic wood grain effect which may be almost indistinguishable from the surface of natural wood.
The afore described specific method may have an advantage of producing an architectural moulding in sheet form, which, because it has reinforcing material and a hardened outer layer, can be produced in relatively thin sheets, for example a thickness around 2 to 25mm. The resultant embodiment moulding, since it contains a mineral based filler material may be particularly useful in marine interior decor applications since the filler material may have a lower specific density than hard wood, and may have a lower calorific value. Thus, the architectural moulding may have the advantage of providing a surface finish which is virtually indistinguishable from natural wood, whilst being incombustible in a fire, and having lighter weight than a comparably dimensioned panel of natural wood.
Further, as the colouring is present throughout the body of the moulding, if the moulding becomes dented or chipped, the damaged portion will not stand out, but will still have a basic colour of the material which the architectural moulding mimics.
As another example, where the architectural moulding is configured to represent stone, using the above specific method a mould is taken as described previously, from a stone panel or stone slab. An architectural moulding is cast substantially as described above, except a base colour mixed into the filler material is varied, for example to a sand colour where the intention is to mimic sand stone.
The surface of the architectural moulding may be coloured by wiping a darker coloured paint across the surface as described previously, to effectively mimic the stone surface. Additionally, it is found that the surface of an architectural moulding configured to represent stone may be sand blasted and behaves very similar to natural stone when sand blasted, producing cavities and wearing away under the sand blasting process in a manner very similar to natural stone. As the colour is present throughout the body of the material, pits and crevices formed in the surface and body of the architectural moulding are presented in the same basic sandy colour as the outer surface, and realism compared with the natural stone material is maintained and enhanced through sand blasting. An example of a sand blasted moulding in cut away view is shown in Figure 2 of the accompanying drawings.
