Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a building system and method of construction of the type providing a wall cavity and a monolithic surface finish.
  • the invention has been developed primarily for use in the construction of domestic dwellings. However, it will be appreciated the that the invention is not limited to this particular field of use, being readily adaptable to commercial, industrial and other forms of building construction.
  • Modern residential housing construction is typically in the form of full masonry, timber framing with attached cladding, or a combination of masonry and timber framing such as brick veneer.
  • Masonry construction in exterior walls may take the form of solid single skin masonry such as concrete, stone or brickwork, or multi-skin masonry such as double brick or cavity brick construction.
  • Multi-skin masonry has the advantage of providing a gap to separate the capillary moisture transfer from one skin to the other. It also allows for water drainage through the provision of weepholes and flashing at horizontal junctions, at openings and at the base of the wall to divert the water to the outside of the building.
  • Multi-skin masonry also provides superior thermal installation characteristics.
  • One such method involved the inclusion of a drainage plane material such as building wrap between the frame or sheathing and the EPS substrate panel, which provides an improvement on bonding the EPS directly to the sheathing.
  • a further improvement was to profile the back of the foam substrate panel or install battens prior to panel installation, so as to provide a space for water drainage and potentially ventilation.
  • one known construction technique involves attaching a cement or fibre cement sheet material to a timber frame, over a pliable building membrane or building wrap. Intermediate layers of sarking or building paper, as well as bracing panels, insulating panels, fire rating panels, and the like may additionally or alternatively be included. A textured or rendered finish is then applied to the fibre cement sheet substrate, so as to create an effectively continuous monolithic appearance similar to that of rendered brickwork. The render may optionally be paint finished to a desired colour or surface texture.
  • Such techniques have been relatively successful in providing the desired aesthetics and architectural flexibility in a cost-effective manner.
  • the invention provides a cavity wall system including: a wall structure; a plurality of outer wall cladding panels; and a plurality of discrete mounting elements for mounting the cladding panels a predetermined distance away from the wall structure so as to form a substantially flat exterior wall surface and a substantially uninterrupted internal wall cavity between the cladding panels and the wall structure; the mounting elements being sized and arranged so as to allow substantially uninterrupted fluid flow throughout the cavity; and the system further including moisture control means defining a moisture control plane to minimise migration of liquid moisture from the cavity into the wall structure.
  • the invention provides a method of forming a cavity wall, said method including the steps of: forming a wall structure; providing a plurality of outer wall cladding panels; and mounting the cladding panels a predetermined distance away from the wall structure with a plurality of discrete mounting elements to form a substantially flat exterior wall surface and a substantially uninterrupted internal wall cavity between the cladding panels and the wall structure; sizing and arranging the mounting elements so as to allow substantially uninterrupted fluid flow throughout the cavity; and providing moisture control means to define a moisture control plane adapted to minimise migration of liquid moisture from the cavity into the wall structure.
  • the invention provides a cavity wall formed in accordance with the method of the second aspect of the invention as described above.
  • the wall structure is formed from concrete or masonry, and the moisture control plane is formed by a coating of sealant or moisture resistant paint on the cavity side of the structure.
  • a relatively dense or moisture-impervious concrete or other formulation is used for the wall structure itself, such that an additional coating of sealant or paint is not required.
  • a pliable building membrane is used to cover and seal the wall structure, and in this case, the membrane itself forms the moisture control plane.
  • the wall structure is formed from a timber frame
  • the moisture control plane is formed by a substantially waterproof pliable building membrane that is preferably permeable to moisture vapour, or a plurality of overlapping membranes, covering the outer or cavity side of the frame.
  • the membrane or membranes are preferably breathable or permeable to water vapour, to enable the underlying frame to dry in the event that it does become damp or wet as a result of water or moisture ingress.
  • the moisture control means defining the moisture control plane may take the form of a separate coating, covering, layering or membrane, whether individual or composite in nature, or may be inherent in the composition of the wall structure itself.
  • the moisture control plane serves to redirect liquid water within the cavity downwardly for easy escape to the outside of the structure individually or in combination with flashings, while permitting migration of water in vapour form through the moisture control plane so as to facilitate drying of the underlying wall structure.
  • the membrane includes an outer reflective surface, or a supplementary sarking membrane having a reflective outer surface is provided, to enhance the thermal insulation characteristics of the wall.
  • outwardly directed reflective surfaces are applied to both the cavity side of the cladding panels and the cavity side of the wall structure, using suitable paints, coatings, sarkings and/or membrane materials.
  • supplementary spacers are included to maintain the internal wall cavity between the pliable building membrane and the cladding panels, and to reduce wind-induced movement of the membrane, particularly between the framing members.
  • these supplementary spacers minimise any "flapping" of the membrane under high or variable wind conditions.
  • a lower periphery of the cavity includes an opening to permit drainage of liquid from the cavity and venting of the cavity.
  • an upper periphery of the cavity includes a vent that permits venting of the cavity.
  • the exterior wall surface defined by the cladding panels constitutes a substrate supporting at least one outer finishing layer.
  • the outer finishing layer conceals the edges between adjacent cladding panels and any exposed portions of the mounting elements to provide a monolithic finish over the exterior wall surface.
  • the outer finishing layer is applied by rendering or textured coating, and is optionally sealed, primed, painted or a combination thereof to produce an outer surface finish resembling that of monolithic masonry construction.
  • the cladding panels are formed substantially from fibre cement sheet.
  • the exterior surface of each cladding panel is preferably coated with an outer finishing layer such as render or paint, and the interior surface of each cladding panel is preferably covered with a carbonation reducing coating, so as to reduce differential carbonation within the fibre cement panel.
  • the substrate panels can be formed from other materials such as EPS, of sufficient strength and thickness to span between the respective mounting elements.
  • the exterior wall surface is coated with a sub-layer of render, a reinforcing mesh layer over the sub-layer, and an external finishing layer over the reinforcing layer.
  • the mounting elements include both mounting members and termination members. These members can be formed from materials of sufficient strength to support the intended dead and imposed live loads, including shaped metals, extruded or processed plastics, and the like.
  • the invention provides a mounting member for use in the cavity wall system and method as described above, the mounting member including: a mounting portion adapted for attachment to a wall structure; a spacing portion adapted to space at least one associated cladding panel outwardly from the mounting portion by a predetermined distance corresponding to the intended depth of an internal wall cavity; and at least one positioning portion adapted for connection to the associated cladding panel; the mounting member being adapted, in conjunction with a plurality of like members, to support and position a plurality of cladding panels in substantially contiguous each to edge relationship at the predetermined distance away from the wall structure, thereby to form a substantially flat exterior wall surface and a substantially uninterrupted internal wall cavity between the cladding panels and the wall structure.

  • the top strip also includes an alignment flange 75 extending generally outwardly from the outer positioning flange 73 for supporting and aligning an applied exterior wall surface coating.
  • the top strip further includes a perforated flange 76 extending upwardly away from the U-shaped channel 72 generally orthogonally from the support surface. The perforated flange 76 extends sufficiently upwardly to provide for trim cover mouldings 77 and also provides for a perforated area for ventilation to the termination.

  • the termination member can also be located at other peripheral edges of the external wall surface and at horizontal junctions such as window openings, door openings, mid-storey junctions, flashings and control joints.
  • the termination member is well suited for setting out an external wall surface, supporting cladding panels, forming a wall cavity, permitting drainage from a wall cavity, providing ventilation to a wall cavity, and providing a screed and levelling guide for applying outer finishing layers to the external wall surface.
  • the mounting elements also include off-stud joiners 6. As shown in Figure 2, one preferred embodiment of this element takes the form of an H-sectioned joiner.
  • the joiner receives and aligns the longitudinal edges of adjacent cladding panels in substantially contiguous relationship, and retains the adjoining panels in coplanar alignment even when the joins do not directly overlie the frame members.
  • the material strength, gauge, profile and spacing of the mounting elements are such that when the mounting elements are installed with strong durable fasteners they are well suited to withstand very high wind loads.
  • the cavity wall system also allows the fixing of bracing elements (not shown) to the frame 1 to resist shear or racking loads on the wall from wind, seismic or similar loads on a building.

  • fibre cement bracing panels are fastened directly to the frame 1.
  • the mounting elements are provided in various sizes to allow for the space taken up by the bracing panels and to maintain the substantially flat exterior wall surface 7.
  • Fire rating performance can also be incorporated into the cavity wall system.
  • water-resistant fire-resistant gypsum boards (not shown) are installed onto the frame under the building membrane 3.
  • the cavity wall system provides a vented cavity that is well suited to reduce the tendency to generate cyclic wind pressures in the wall cavity 8. This also reduces the flapping of the building membrane 3 that results from these cyclic wind pressures.
  • a wall structure is initially constructed.
  • the wall structure is in the form of a building frame and the outer surface of the frame is covered with a flexible, substantially waterproof building membrane using conventional materials and techniques.
  • the membrane is ideally breathable or permeable to water vapour, to facilitate drying of the underlying frame or wall structure in the event of water or moisture ingress.
  • a series of starter strips are then installed along a lower edge of the frame, at a level corresponding to the lower edge of the wall.
  • a first run of fibre cement cladding panels is then positioned along the bottom edge of the frame, with the bottom edges of the cladding panels being located and captively retained by the respective starter strips.
  • each panel is vast positioned, the upper edge is engaged with a first series of mounting members, which are successively fastened to the respective underlying framing members.
  • the bottom edge of each cladding panel in the first run is secured by one or more of the starter strips, and the top edge is secured by one or more of the first row of mounting members.
  • the panels are joined to each other where necessary with respective off-stud joiners.
  • a second run of cladding panels is installed in a similar manner, with the bottom edge of each panel in the second row being located by the respective positioning surfaces on the first row of mounting members, and the upper edge of each panel in the second row being located by the respective positioning surfaces of a second row of mounting members.
  • the external cladding surface forms a substrate, to which is preferably added a base layer of render, a layer of reinforcing mesh over the base layer, an outer layer of render over the reinforcing mesh, and a top coat of paint or textured finish, to provide the desired aesthetic such as that reminiscent of monolithic masonry construction.
  • the render applied directly to the external cladding surface is forced into the small spaces between the edges of adjacent cladding panels and between the cladding panels and mounting elements. This conceals the edges and any exposed portions of the mounting elements to give a generally continuous and flat monolithic external finish. This also reduces the tendency for the cladding panels to deform, drum or rattle in response to wind, seismic or other loads on the wall.
  • cladding panels Concealing the cladding panels allows the panels to be of different sizes and shapes, so cladding panels can be cut to fit the particular dimensions and features of the underlying wall structure. This enhances design flexibility, reduces labour and material costs, and minimises wastage of off-cuts.
  • the construction technique of the present invention allows fast and efficient drainage of water downwardly through the cavity and out through the apertures in the starter strips. At the same time, moist air is able to circulate freely in substantially any direction within the cavity around the mounting members, and out through the top or bottom apertures. These apertures also prevent the accumulation of pressure within the cavity, either as a result of thermal expansion or wind forces, which otherwise have the potential to force entrapped water through openings in the membrane and into the framing members.
  • the moisture control plane ensures that any liquid moisture within the wall cavity is prevented from migrating into the underlying wall structure.
  • This method of construction also allows for the installation of the mounting elements and the associated cladding panels in one pass.
  • the installation of the mounting elements and the associated cladding panels effectively occurs simultaneously.
  • This provides an advantage over prior art methods where mounting elements such as battens are fastened to the building frame in a first pass and the cladding panels installed in a subsequent second pass. This improvement can result in significant reductions in installation time and cost.
  • the use of discrete mounting elements can also result in significant material savings when compared with prior art mounting elements such as elongate timber battens or steel profiled sections.
  • the invention thus provides a cavity wall system, which is efficient and cost-effective to construct, allows great design flexibility, provides highly desirable aesthetics pronounced of more costly construction techniques, provides superior thermal insulation characteristics, provides substantially improved drainage and water management and is significantly more durable in adverse weather conditions relative to comparable known methods of building construction.
  • the invention represents a practical and commercially significant improvement over the prior art.
