Abstract

A pre-assembled thermal panel unit 10 for attaching to the exterior of a building, the panel having a cladding layer 12 mounted on a thermal insulation layer 14. The cladding layer may have a brickwork, or block, tile or clay finish. The brickwork may use brick slips so as to appear as a conventional brickwork array for the exterior surface of a building. The insulation layer 14 has a plane outer face to which the cladding layer is affixed preferably via an adhesive layer 22. The panel includes a rigid backing layer 18 on which the insulation layer and cladding layer are carried. A method for modifying a building using the thermal panel unit is also disclosed, wherein the panel is attached to the external surface of the building and the cladding layer becomes the new external surface.

Description

Buitding Insutation The present invention relates to building insulation and methods for insulating buildings.
Energy efficient buildings rely at least in part on effective heat insulation. It is known to provide cavity wall insulation between the inner and outer skin of an external wall of a building. However, providing existing housing stock with such insulation is not always practical or possible, particularly with buildings of single skin construction.
An object of the invention is to provide an alternative method or material for insulating buildings, particularly, but not exclusively, for insulating existing buildings, i.e. for retro-fit applications.
According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a thermal insulation panel for the exterior of a building, the panel having a cladding layer and a thermal insulation layer, wherein the cladding layer is mounted on the thermal insulation layer and has an outer surface intended to define an exterior surface of a building.
The panel is advantageous in that it can be provided in pre-assembled form, for direct application to an existing building, e.g. by bonding the pre-assembled panel to the existing exterior surface of a building (whereby the cladding layer becomes the exterior surface of the building, with the insulation layer interposed between the cladding layer and the pre-existing exterior surface of the building).
The panel is of particular advantage for use with existing single skin buildings and other buildings for which the use of cavity wall insulation is either impractical or not possible. However, the panel may also be used in addition to conventional cavity wall insulation, or in other forms or methods of construction.
Another aspect of the invention provides a method of modifiying a building, the method including the steps of: mounting a cladding layer and thermal insulation layer to a pre-existing exterior surface of a building, whereby the cladding layer becomes the exterior surface of the building, with the thermal insulation layer interposed between the cladding layer and the pre-existing exterior surface of the building, for the purpose of improving the thermal insulation characteristics of the building.
A further aspect of the invention provides a method of construction, the method including the steps of: mounting a cladding layer and thermal insulation layer to pre-existing brick-or block work of a building, whereby the cladding layer becomes an exterior surface of a building, with the thermal insulation layer interposed between the cladding layer and the pre-existing brick-or block work, for the purpose of improving the thermal insulation characteristics of the building.
A still frirther aspect of the invention provides a thermal insulation system for a building, the system having a cladding layer and a thermal insulation layer, wherein the cladding layer is mounted on the thermal insulation layer and has an outer surface intended to define an exterior surface of a building, for incorporation in the outer skin of a building.
Other aspects and preferred features of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is made, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a thermal insulation panel, in partially complete form (for illustrative purposes); and Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the panel in Figure 1.
Figures 1 and 2 show a thermal insulation panel 10, which includes a cladding layer 12 mounted on a supporting layer of thermal insulation 14. In use, the outer surface of the cladding layer 12 is intended to define an exterior surface of a wall or building, e.g. with the thermal insulation layer 14 interposed between the interior of a building and the cladding layer 12.
The insulation panel 10 is preferably in the form of a pre-assembled unit, e.g. the cladding layer 12 is applied to the insulation layer 14 prior to incorporation in a building. The pre-assembly may take place on site or at a remote location.
In this embodiment, the cladding layer 12 consists of brick slips 16, applied in rows, to a layer of adhesive 22 on the thermal insulation layer 14. This gives the appearance of a conventional brickwork finish. In other embodiments, the cladding layer may incorporate one or more of brick-, block-, or tile-type elements (instead of, or in addition to the brick slips 16), in an array which gives a conventional exterior' appearance.
As can be seen most clearly in Figure 2, the insulation layer 14 has a plane outer face (i.e. the outer face of the insulation layer 14 is devoid of significant projections or the like), to which the cladding layer 12 is readily applied, irrespective of orientation. In the case of a brick-or block-type cladding array, the array can be pointed before or (more usually) after the panel 10 has been incorporated in a building.
The panel 10 preferably includes a backing layer 18 on which the insulation layer 14 is mounted. The backing layer is preferably a rigid backing board (e.g. made of GRC) on which the insulation layer 14 and cladding layer 12 is carried, so that the panel is generally self-supporting and readily transferable as a pre-assembled unit (e.g. in transit from a remote assembly location), prior to incorporation in a building or wall.
Advantageously, the backing layer 18 has a plane face 20, so that the panel 10 can be readily mounted adjacent an existing plane surface of a building, e.g. a pre-existing external wall.
The panel 10 is advantageous in that it can be provided in pre-assembled form, for direct application to an existing building, e.g. by bonding the pre-assembled panel 10 to the existing exterior surface of a building (whereby the cladding layer becomes the exterior surface of the building, with the insulation layer interposed between the cladding layer and the pre-existing exterior surface of the building). The panel 10 is preferably secured to the existing wall or building surface using mechanical fixings.
The panel 10 is of particular advantage for use with existing single skin buildings and other buildings for which the use of cavity wall insulation is either impractical or not possible. However, the panel 10 may also be used in addition to conventional cavity wall insulation, or in other forms or methods of construction.
