Description
A BUILDING COMPONENT FOR COLLECTING CONDENSATION
The present invention relates to a building component for collecting condensation and in particular to a building component for collecting condensation forming on an inner surface of a building component in contact with an atmosphere containing vapour.
Building components such as bay windows, roofs and dormer units can be entirely or partly pre-fabricated from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) or similar material. The prefabricated components can be braced internally with intermittent timber supports to provide structural strength and to accommodate thermal insulation and provide grounds for fixing an internal plasterboard lining. The GRP material often acts as an external cladding to provide resistance to water ingress and provide protection from the elements.
In new dwellings air tightness has to be improved to meet modern building regulations, which means ventilation in dwellings is reduced. This leads to an increased risk of condensation occurring where moisture laden air contacts a cold surface such as the Is inside surface of the cold GRP or similar material. This warm air contains moisture vapour which condenses on the cold surface leading to mould growth and damage to the fabric and finishes of the building in the surrounding area. Furthermore, as the condensation often forms in a concealed location, it continues undetected and untreated further exacerbating the damage caused. The problem of moisture collecting on vertical or inclined components will cause the moisture to drain down along the vertical or inclined component seeping into materials below. If these components are visible, unsightly staining can occur as well as the degradation and decay of the material collecting the moisture over time.
A common building method to prevent this problem from occurring is to install a vapour barrier of polythene material to the inner surface of the insulation layer prior to fitting the plasterboard lining. This prevents warm moisture laden air coming into contact with the cold surface. However, problems exist at locations where the polythene vapour barrier overlaps, and at difficult to access junctions, for example vertical wall! horizontal ceiling junctions. It is practically impossible to completely seal these areas and make them fully vapour proof. Another problem with this procedure is the method in which the vapour barrier is fixed to the timber ribs. Builders use staples or nails to fix the polythene vapour barrier to the insulation or timber, which pierces or rips the vapour barrier making it defective. As a result of all of these problems, vapour can pass through the vapour barrier and insulation into contact with cold surfaces forming condensation.
It is an object of the present invention to address the problem of condensation forming on cold surfaces of building components in difficult to access areas which are not visible during normal use.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a building component having a surface contactable with a volume of atmosphere carrying a vapour, the surface being capable of reaching a temperature where vapour in the atmosphere is condensed upon contact with the surface of the building component, the building component having means for removing condensate or other liquid off the surface of the building component.
Preferably, the removing means comprising the surface of the building component Is having a means for diverting condensate or other liquid off the surface to a predetermined location for disposal.

Is Ideally, the channel extends along a bottom portion of the upright surface.
Preferably, the channel extends along the entire length of the bottom portion of the upright surface.
Ideally, more than one channel is provided on the upright surface of the building component. Advantageously, this allows a number of channels where the configuration of the building component defines a large or complex surface requiring additional runs of channels.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings Is which shows by way of example only one embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the invention. In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a flat roof dormer embodiment of the apparatus; Figure 2 is a first detail view of a portion of the dormer of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a second detail view of a second portion of the dormer of Figure 1; Figure 4 is front elevation view of the flat roof dormer of Figure 1; Figure 5 is section view taken along the line C-C of figure 4; Figure 6 is a detail view of a portion of the section view of figure 5; Figure 7 is front elevation view of the flat roof dormer of Figure 1 and 4; and Figure 8 is a schematic view of a condensation diverter arrangement.
In the drawing, there is shown a building component indicated generally by the reference numeral 1 having a surface 2 in contact with a volume of atmosphere inside a building 3 carrying a vapour. The surface 2 is capable of reaching a temperature where vapour in the atmosphere is condensed upon contact with the surface 2 of the building component 1. As shown in Figure 8, the outside temperature can be -5°C whilst the internal temperature can be 21°C so the surface temperature will be significantly lower than the air temperature inside the building. It will of course be appreciated that these temperatures are provided as exemplary only to provide an example of an outside/inside temperature gradient acting across a building component 1 to create the conditions for condensation of vapour.
The surface 2 of the building component 1 has an arrangement 4 for diverting condensates or other liquid such as rain water off the surface to a predetermined location for disposal. The rain water can seep in through a leak in the building component 1 as a result of a manufacturing fault or damage during transport or installation.
Advantageously, the condensate 5 collecting on the surface 2 of the building component 1 is removed by the design of the building component 1 itself. This self draining functionality significantly improves the technical function of the building component 1. It reduces the risk of damp, staining or degradation of materials proximal to the surface 2 of the building component 1 as a result of condensation.
Is In an aspect of the invention not illustrated in the drawings, the arrangement 4 for diverting the condensate 5 has an inclined surface provided on a normally horizontal or substantially horizontal surface. The inclined surface is provided as at least part of a ceiling or a floor or shelf feature of a building component 1. Advantageously, the inclined surface prevents the local collection of condensate 5 on normally horizontal surfaces thereby avoiding all of the associated damp, staining or material degradation problems.
The arrangement 4 for diverting the condensate 5 has a channel 6 shown as an inclined channel 6 in the drawings provided along at least part of an upright surface 2 ot the building component 1. It will of course be appreciated that a level channel 6 with an opening 14 at one end of the channel is also suitable for acting as the diverting arrangement 4. The arrangement 4 for diverting the condensate 5 is integrally formed with the building component 1. Advantageously, this allows the design of the component 1 to be pre-formed in the factory providing manufacturing efficiencies. In an alternative arrangement not shown in the drawings, the arrangement for diverting the condensate 5 is fixed to the building component 1 before, during or after installation of the building component 1. Advantageously, this allows an installer freedom to locate the diverting arrangement on the surface 2 of the building component ito suit conditions at the specific building installation.
The channel 6 for diverting the condensate 5 is integrally formed with the building component 1. Alternatively, the channel 6 for diverting the condensate 5 is fixed to the building component 1 before, during or after installation of the building component 1. Again, this allows an installer a greater degree of freedom for installing the channel 6 to accommodate bespoke conditions at the specific building installation. The channel 6 extends along a bottom portion 9 of the upright surface 2. In the flat roof dormer 1 shown in the drawings, the inclined channel 6 extends along the entire length of the bottom portion 9 of the upright surface 2 along both sides of the dormer 1.
In a further embodiment not shown in the drawings, more than one channel can be provided on the upright surface 2 of the building component 1. Advantageously, this allows a number of channels 6 where the configuration of the building component 1 defines a large or complex surface 2 requiring additional runs of channels 6. The channels 6 may be located on the upright surface 2 at vertically spaced apart locations. Advantageously, this allows a number of drainage positions where the surface area 2 is large or complex.
Referring to the drawings and now specifically to Figure 8, the channel 6 has a base portion ii in direct contact with and protruding laterally from the upright surface 2. The channel 6 has an upright wall i2 for guiding the condensate 5 along the channel 6. The upright wall 12 extends upwardly from the base portion 11, preferably from the end of the base portion ii. The upright wall 12 is spaced apart from the upright surface 2 by the base portion ii. The building component 1 has a conduit 14 see Figures 3 and 6 for transferring condensates from the inside to the outside of the building component 1. The conduit 14 is a through bore or weep hole 14 as commonly known in the building industry. The lower end of the channel 6 is in fluid communication with the conduit 14 for transferring the condensate 5 from the inside to the outside of the building component 1.
The building component 1 has a spacer arrangement, not shown in the drawings, for spacing an insulation layer, not shown, apart from the surface 2 carrying the arrangement 4 for diverting condensate 5 or other liquid. The building component 1 can also have a breather membrane, not shown, between the surface 2 having the arrangement 4 for diverting condensate 5 or other liquid and the insulation layer. The building component 1 may have an integral layer of insulation.
The spacer arrangement is least partly provided by the arrangement 4 for diverting the condensates or other liquid. An outside surface 15 of the upright wall 12 acts as the spacer for the insulation to abut against. The building component 1 shown in the drawings is a flat roof dormer 1 although it will of course be appreciated that the building component 1 can be provided by any of a range of modern building components with a prefabricated outer cladding where the interior of the building component 1 can come in contact with an atmosphere carrying a vapour. Examples of building components of this type are bay windows, various prefabricated roof structures, prefabricated pods or cabins and a variety of dormer units.
The building component 1 has a pre-fabricated outer weather proof structure 21. The internal surface 2 of the pre-fabricated outer weather proof structure 21 has the arrangement 4 for diverting condensate 5 or other liquid off the surface 2 to a predetermined location for disposal. The condensate 5 or other liquid is disposed of outside the building onto the slates 23 or tiles or is delivered into an internal liquid collection system where it is not possible to provide weep holes 14 for example.
The pre-fabricated outer weather proof structure or shell 21 of the building component 1 is manufactured from a composite material. The composite material is manufactured from a polymeric matrix reinforced with fibres. The pre-fabricated outer weather proof structure 21 of the building component 1 is manufactured from fibre reinforced polymer FRP, carbon fibre reinforced plastic CFRP or glass reinforced plastic GRP. The FRPs include wood comprising cellulose fibers in a lignin and hemicelluloses matrix. The matrix is a thermoplastic composite such as a shod fibre thermoplastic, a long fibre thermoplastic or a long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. Alternatively, the matrix is a thermoset composite.
Alternatively, the pre-fabricated outer weather proof structure 21 of the building component 1 is manufactured from an aramid and carbon fibre in an epoxy resin matrix.
