Description
A FINISHING MATERIAL AND
�A�ELATED CONSTRUCTIONAL ARTICLE This invention relates to a finishing matenal, in particular but not exclusively, a finishing material for use in building construction, and a related constructional article.
During construction of a building pre-constructed finishing substrates, such as plasterboard panels, polystyrene panels, and fibreboard panels, are secured to stud walls, block work, or ceiling joists to define finished walls and ceilings.
Often it is necessary to fix secondary items, such as socket boxes and light fittings, to the finishing substrates using one or more fastening members, such as screws. However, the core of the finishing substrates is weak, and so offers poor retention of a screw and little resistance to axial withdrawal of the screw.
As a result it is necessary to insert an intermediate fastener into the finishing substrate to receive and support a screw and improve the retention and resistance to axial withdrawal of the screw The need for such intermediate fasteners adds to the complexity of installing secondary items, and so increases the time needed to install these items and the cost of doing so.
There is a need, therefore, for an improved finishing material and a related constructional article each of which obviates the need for an intermediate fastener According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a laminated finishing material, for use in building construction, comprising: a pre-constructed finishing substrate; and a planar support member bonded with the finishing substrate, the support member being engagable with a screw passing through the finishing substrate to retain the screw relative to the finishing substrate and prevent axial withdrawal of the screw from the finishing substrate.
The inclusion of a planar support member bonded with a finishing substrate reinforces the finishing substrate to allow for retention of a screw without the need for an intermediate fastener. As a result a user is able to insert a screw through the finishing substrate and into the support member to prevent axial withdrawal of the screw, and so allow the secure fixing of a secondary item to the laminated finishing material According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided an unattached constructional article comprising a pre-constructed finishing substrate defining at least one face having bonded thereto a support member in the form of a generally rigid sheet which in use of the article engages and grips part of a fastening member, inserted through the finishing substrate so as to retain the fastening member and prevent its withdrawal from the finishing substrate.
The constructional article shares the advantages of the laminated finishing material, and is also portable, i.e readily moveable from one location to another.
Preferably the pre-constructed finishing substrate is one of a plasterboard panel, a polystyrene panel, and a fibreboard panel. Such panels are widely used in building construction, and so the provision of a finishing material and a constructional article including such a panel, in which it is possible to secure a screw so as to prevent axial withdrawal of the screw, without the need for an intermediate fixture or secondary processing, drastically reduces the time and cost of fixing secondary items in a building.
Optionally the support member is mechanically bonded with the finishing substrate.
Preferably the support member is chemically bonded with the finishing substrate.
in a preferred embodiment of the invention the support member is bonded with the finishing substrate by an adhesive.
Such arrangements provide a convenient manner of bonding the support member with the finishing substrate such that a user need carry out no secondary processing steps.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention the laminated finishing material includes a support member having a plurality of perforations, each perforation being engagable with a screw passing through the finishing substrate to retain the screw relative to the finishing substrate and prevent axial withdrawal of the screw from the finishing substrate.
Optionally the unattached constructional article includes a support member in the form of a generally rigid, perforated mesh sheet one or more perforations of which in use of the article each engages and grips part of a fastening member, inserted through the finishing substrate so as to retain the fastening member and prevent its withdrawal from the finishing substrate.
The inclusion of one or more perforations in the support member provides at least one possible retention site for receiving and retaining a screw or other fastening member without the need for any secondary processing steps by a user The support member may include a uniform arrangement of perforations. As a result of such a configuration a user is readily able to determine the positioning of the perforations, and so is readily able to engage a screw with a given perforation to retain the screw in a desired location.
Optionally the perforations are arranged in rows with each row being offset from the or each adjacent row. Such an arrangement allows for a dense packing of the perforations, thereby further increasing the likelihood of a user being able to engage a screw with a perforation in a desired location.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention the support member includes a plurality of uniform perforations. The provision of a plurality of uniform perforations ensures that each of the finishing material and the constructional article is useable with screws of a predefined range of sizes.
In a further preferred embodiment of the invention one or more perforations differs in size from the other perforations. The inclusion of such a feature allows for tailoring of different regions of the finishing material and the constructional article to receive and engage screws of a given size according to the fixing requirement.
Preferably the support member is thinner than the finishing substrate.
Optionally the support member is at least ten times thinner than the finishing substrate.
The foregoing features help to allow use of the laminated finishing material and the constructional article alongside conventional pre-constructed finishing substrates with negligible difference between the extent to which the laminated finishing material and the constructional article protrude from a support surface such as a stud or ceiling joist, and the extent to which a conventional finishing substrate protrudes from the support surface.
There now follows a brief description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 shows a perspective view from a first side of a laminated finishing material and an unattached constructional article according to embodiments of the invention; and Figure 2 shows a perspective view from a second side of the finishing material and the unattached constructional article shown in Figure 1.
