Description
A BUILDING PANEL ASSEMBLY
The present invention relates to a building panel assembly for use in the construction of buildings.
Many modern timber-framed buildings are constructed with interconnected structural insulated panels (known by the acronym SIPs) Such panels generally comprise an inner core of insulating nialenal such as expanded polystyrene or polyurethane sandwiched between a pair of outer "skins" usually made from oriented strand board. The boards typically laminated to the core under pressure to form a structurally rigid building panel In constructing a building with SIPs the panels are connected together at their edges iii a horizontal andlor vertical direction by an interlocking tongue and groove arrangement. More specifically, the edges of the oriented strand boards extend beyond the inner core so as to define a peripheral channel around the panel that is designed to interlock with a tongue extending from the periphery of an adjacent panel. The tongue is provided simply by inserting an elongate wooden beam in the channel, the beam having depth greater than that of the channel such that it projects above the channel depth, and fixing it in place by nails or the like. The extending tongue can then be received in the channel of an adjacent, co-planar SIPs panel in an interlocking engagement and nailed in place.
The assembly of interlocking SIPs panels on site in this manner is labour intensive and requires accurate cutting and fitting of the tongues and fixing of the panels to each other. Moreover, SIPs panels are prone to damage oii-site, particularly at the exposed corners and peripheral edges. In addition to parts of the OSBs cracking or breaking away from the panel, one common source of damage is the ingress of water or moisture into the edges of the OSB which can cause swelling, warping or bowing.
It is an object of the present invention to obviate or mitigate the aforesaid disadvantages.
According to the present invention there is provided a building panel assembly compnsing a pair of panel members separated by an inner insulating core and a peripheral rigid frame extending around and fixe(l to at least part of the panel members, the frame defining a pair of rebates each receiving an outer portion of a respective panel member, the frame having an inner portion that extends between the panel members, and an outer portion that extends outwards from the panel members, the outer portion defining a channel.
The panel assembly of the present invention has improved rigidity, structural integrity and load hearing capacity, able to withstand the usual axial, bending and racking loads association with buildings and can be used, for example, to construct a floor, wall or roof of a building.
The frame ensures the panel assemblies are easy to interconnect both horizontally and vertically in an accurate and secure manner by using the channel defined in the frame. The arrangement allows accurate assembly and quicker and cheaper construction.
The provision of the frame in a protective material reduces the susceptibility to damage of the panel members including reduced susceptibility to damage caused by ingress of fluids or moisture.
Conveniently the panel assembly can be pre-assembled in an off-site location such as a factory. This allows better quality control in that any defective panels can be intercepted before delivery to the site.
The channel provides a female connection for inter-engagement with a male connector that may be defined on a second panel or may be a separate member.
The insulating core may be bonded to the panel members.
The frame may extend all the way around the panel members. The frame may have first and second side surfaces, each defining one of the pair of rebates. The depth of each rebate is preferably substantially equal to the thickness of each panel member such that each panel member is substantially flush with an adjacent surface of the frame.
The panel members may be substantially parallel and have outwardly facing surfaces that may be substantially planar.
The inner portion of the frame may be in contact with the insulating core.
The panel members may be fixed in said rebates by any suitable fixing means such as screws or the like or an adhesive.
The frame may comprise one or more extruded frame members The members may be interconnected at corners which may be half1apped Joints.
The frame may be made from a composite material such as a recycled plastics material that may be combined with particulate wood matter such as wood flour, pulp, chips, sawdust or the like. It is ideally durable and hard-wearing as well as environmentally friendly.
The panel members niay be oriented straiid board.
The insulated core may be made from an expanded plastics material which may be a foamed polyurethane or polystyrene.
The frame is preferably rigid and the panel assembly is a stand-alone component.
A connector may be provided in said channel of said frame and may be in the foni of an elongate beam extending along the channel. The beam may be made from the same material as the frame.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there may be provided a plurality of building panel assemblies as defined above, the panel assemblies being inter-connected at adjacent edges by an elongate connector beam received in channels of both panels.
According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for constructing a building panel assembly according to any preceding claim, comprising the steps of constructing the frame, placing the panel members in the frame such that their edges reside in said rebates on each side of the frame and a clearance is defined between the panel members and at least partially filling the clearance with the inner core of insulating material.
The inner core material may be a plastics based material that may be introduced into the clearance between the panel members under pressure and allowed to expand into the clearance.
A specific embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a partially constructed building of multiple building panel assemblies in accordance with the present invention; Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectioned view perpendicular to the general plane occupied by the building panel assembly of the present invention; Figure 3 is a perspective view of a corner part of a frame of the building panel assembly of figure 2; Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the area indicated by reference A in figure 1; Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the area indicated by reference B in figure 1; Figure 6 is an enlarged view of the area indicated by reference C in figure 1; and Figure 7 is an enlarged view of the area indicated by reference D in figure 1; Referring now to the drawings, an exemplary, partially formed, building structure shown in figure 1 is constructed from a plurality of interconnected building panel assemblies 10 that are shown in more detail in figures 2 and 3. A corner of the structure is shown with first and second walls II, 1 2 extending perpendicularly to each other.
The walls are shown as having first and second tiers 13, 14 of panel assemblies 10 with a window opening 15 in the first tier 13. Four regular panel assemblies 10 and two modified panel assemblies 10' above and below the window opening 15 make up the first tier of the partially constructed first wall whereas only two panel assemblies of the second tier are shown. A horizontal ring beam 16 comprising a panel assembly structure in accordance with the present invention separates the first arid second tiers 13, 14.
Each panel assembly 10, 10', 16 is a modified form of a structural insulated panel and has a generally rectangular configuration with front and rear outwardly-facing planar surfaces 1 7, 1 8 and comprises an inner core 1 9 of insulating material such as expanded polystyrene or polyurethane (although any suitable material may be used) flanked by parallel panels 20 of oriented strand board that are bonded to the core material 19. The onented strand board (OSH) panels 20 extend beyond the core 19 on all sides to define a channel 21 in which a peripheral frame 22 is received.
The peripheral frame 22 (shown most clearly in figures 2 to 5) is designed to provide accurate interconnection with adjacent panel assemblies 10 and has an inner portion 22a that extends into the channel 21 defined between the OSB panels 20 and an outer portion 22b that extends outwardly therefrom. Each building panel frame 22 is constructed from four elongate Iranie members 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d one on each edge of the panel and each being in the form of an extruded composite plastics-based beam.
The extruded material comprises a combination of recycled plastics and wood flour, pulp or chips (or the like). The members 22a, b, c, d are joined at the corners by half-lapped joints (as shown in figure 3) and a suitable adhesive and each defines an inwardly-facing surface 23 (of the inner portion) in contact with the core material 19 at the bottom of the channel 21 between the OSB panels, an outwardly-facing surface 24 (of the outer portion) that defines a further channel 25 for inter-engagement with an adjacent panel assembly, and side surfaces 26 which each have a rebate 27 for receipt of the peripheral edges of the OSB panels 20. The depth of the rebate 27 corresponds substantially with the thickness of the panel 20 such the outer surface of the panel is flush with the side surface 26 of the frame 22 (best seen in figure 2).
Adjacent panel assemblies 10, 10', 16 are interconnected at vertical or horizontal edges of the franies 22 by using elongate locking beams 28, 29. Figure 4 shows a horizontal locking beam 28 received in the channel 25 defined on the outer surface 24 of the frame 22. The top half of the beam 28 protrudes above the frame 22 for connection to a second panel assembly disposed vertically above the first. The second panel assembly is presented such that the channel 25 in the peripheral frame 22 slots over the protruding part of the beam, preferably in a friction fit. Horizontally adjacent panels are similarly interconnected by a vertical locking beam 29 that extend from the channel 25 of the frame 22 as shown in figure 5. The interconnection may be further supported by adhesive or other fixing means including screws. The locking beams 28, 29 can he niade of any suitable material including, in particular, the same material as the frame 22.
The panel assemblies 10, 10', 16 are delivered to the site in pre-assembled formed. Since the material of the frame 22 is durable to withstand rough handling and rigid to provide structural integrity it serves to protect the oriented strand board panels from damage whilst improving the load bearing performance of the panel assembly. The modular nature of the panel assemblies allows them to be connected together in a secure and accurate manner without the need for good joinery skills. This dc-skills the construction process and enables it to he performed at a more rapid rate, thereby saving on construction costs. Moreover, there is little waste generated in the construction process on site.
In (he example structure shown in figure 1, the first tier 13 olpanel assemblies 10'are connected to a floor 30 using a pressed steel sole plate 31 which is shown in detail in figure 6. The sole plate 31 is typically 3mm thick and formed to define a ridge 32 that is received in the channel 25 of the frame 22. The vertical corner of the building structure of figure 1 is secured by a vertical corner locking plate 33 of similar construction. A ridge 34 defined by the plate 33 is received in the channel 25 of the frame 21 of the panel assemblies lOon the second wall 12 and a laterally extending web 35 is screwed or otherwise connected to the OSB panels 20 of the first wall 11 The panel assemblies 10, 10', 16 are manufactured in a factory environment by first assembling the extruded frame members 22a,b,c,d into a rectangular frame 22 and bonding them at the corners with a suitable adhesive. The side surfaces 26 are pre- drilled at the rebate 27 so as to provide fixing holes for the OSB panels.
Meanwhile, the OSB panels 20 are cut to a predetermined shape and then fitted to the frame 22 on each side. The edges of the panels 20 are received in the rebates 27 and then screwed into place using the pre-drilled holes so that they are spaced apart by a predetermined amount. The partially assembled panels are then supported in a steel foaming casket (not shown) where they are filled with the core material 19 by conventional foaming technology that allows the material to expand into the space between the panels 20.
The assembled structure is easy to clad on the outside with a brick or other cladding system and the inside can be plastered directly or lined with plasterboard panels or the like.
l'he panel assembly of the present invention provides improved ngidity, structural integrity and load bearing capacity, able to withstand the usual axial, bending and racking loads association with buildings and can be used, for example, to construct a floor, wall or roof of a building. The loads are dispersed across the entire surface area of each panel assembly. In addition the panel assemblies provide good thermal performance, are air-tight and are environmentally friendly.
It will be appreciated that numerous modifications to the above described design may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended cJainis. For example, the panels may he constructed from any suitable material oilier than oriented strand board such as, for example, plywood or cernentite, The insulating core material may he of any suitable type including paper, cardboard or other paper-based products, straw or other suitable plant-based material.
