Definitions

• This invention relates to an external plaster facing and a method of making such a facing.
• the present invention relates to an improved external plaster facing and a method of making such a facing and more particularly an external plaster facing with a ventilating gap between the wall and the inner or rear side of the facing tiles.
• the primary features of the invention are recited, and the dependent claims recite fea ⁇ tures of preferred embodiments.
• a distinguishing quality among others of the external plaster facing according to the invention is that it can be produced in a simple manner and using well-tried components materials available on the market.
• Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a portion of an external facing embodying the invention
• Fig. 2 is an elevational view, drawn to a smaller scale, of the facing portion shown in Fig. 1, the plaster layer being removed over a portion of the figure so that the facing tiles behind the plaster layer can be seen.
• the external facing or facade lining is provided on a wall 11 of a building.
• Horizontally spaced-apart, fixedly secured support bars 12 are attached to the wall and comprise flanges 13 which project from the wall and are provided along their free, outwardly directed verti ⁇ cal edges with uniformly spaced-apart, upwardly directed hooks 14.
• the hooks 14 of the support bars 12 support facing tiles 15 of stone material in a manner such that these facing tiles form a monolayer which covers the wall 11.
• the flanges 13 of the support bars constitute spacer members which keep the rear side of the facing tiles 15 at a certain distance from the wall so that there is an air gap between the wall and the layer of facing tiles.
• the facing tiles 15 In their upper portion, the facing tiles 15 have a re ⁇ bate 16 which extends along the upper edge on the front side and the depth of which approximately corresponds to one-half of the thickness or depth of the tiles. In their lower por ⁇ tion the tiles have a downwardly projecting lip 17 the thick ⁇ ness of which corresponds to the depth of the rebate.
• the facing tiles 15 are hooked up from above on the hooks 14 and the lower portion of the lip 17 extends from above into the rebate 16 of the next lower tile to slightly overlap this tile.
• the suspension of the tiles 15 on the hooks 14 is also designed such that the tiles also have a freedom of movement relative to one another and relative to the wall 11 in the horizontal direction and parallel to the wall. As is indi ⁇ cated in Fig. 2, a small gap may also exist between hori ⁇ zontally neighbouring tiles 15.
• the illustrated support bars 11 and facing tiles 15 are known in the art.
• a layer 18 of plaster is applied to the front side of the layer of facing tiles 15.
• This layer of plaster also fills the gaps between the lower edge of the lip 17 and the lower wall or ledge of the rebates 16.
• the gaps may be com ⁇ pletely filled so that the layer of plaster is even through- out the front side as is shown in Fig. 1 at the upper gaps.
• the filling may also be incomplete so that a depression of greater or lesser depth is formed at the gaps as is shown in Fig. 1 at the lowermost gap. Such incomplete filling may be utilized to provide a desired effect on the appearance.
• the plaster may be reinforced by means of reinforcing netting or unbonded reinforcing fibres (not shown) as is known in the art.
• the plaster may be a plaster mixture available on the market, such as lime-cement plaster mixture (LC-stuff) . Be ⁇ cause the facing tiles are relatively small, however, it may be preferable to use a slightly elastic plaster mixture, such as a polymer plaster mixture, so that the danger of the plaster cracking between the facing tiles because of relative movements of the tiles will be reduced.
• LC-stuff lime-cement plaster mixture
• polymer plaster mixtures are also available on the market.
