Detailed Description of the Drawings
Referring to the drawings and initially to Figs. 1 to 7 thereof, there is illustrated a flooring system according to the invention comprising a preformed composite panel of the type having a first sheet 2, a second sheet 3 and a core 4 of insulating material between the first and second sheets 2, 3 and a floor 5. The sheets 2, 3 are typically of steel material and the core 4 is of polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam material which fills the space between the sheets 2, 3. In this case one of the sheets is a generally flat top sheet 2 and the other (3) of the sheets is a profiled bottom sheet 3. An underlay 6 is generally provided between the floor 5 and the sheet 2. The underlay 6 may be an acoustic barrier layer or may include such an acoustic barrier layer.
The sheet 3 is profiled to define a plurality of channels 7 extending longitudinally along the length of the panel. In the case of an intermediate or upper floor a generally planar facing such as plasterboard 8, or plywood or the like is applied over the profiled sheet 3, bridging the channels 7. For ease of fitting, generally support battens 9 are mounted to and extend transversely of the profiled sheet, bridging the channels 7. Any suitable fixing means such as fixing clips may then be used to fix the facing 8 to the battens 9.
The channels 7 define passageways for services which may be a services duct or conduit 11 for electrical, plumbing, air conditioning/ventilation or other services. Services 11 are installed into the channels 7 which provides an unobstructed and defined passageway for the services. The form of the channels 7 ensures accurate location and alignment of any services accommodated therein. The services ducts/conduits are readily mounted in the channels 7 after the floor is installed. They can also be readily accessed for service, maintenance, replacement or re-mounting by simply removing the facing panels in this case.
In use, the panels 1 are supported between walls 20, 21, in this case an external wall 20 and an internal wall 21. The panels 1 have a large span of typically at least 5 meters, thus the panels can be used to provide constructional floors over a large expanse without the requirement for intermediate supports. This is very advantageous as it facilitates flexibility in the living space. A large unobstructed area is provided which can then be readily subdivided to suit a particular requirement or design by using, for example, partitioning. Such partitioning (because it does not have a structural support function) can be readily dismantled, re-assembled or re-built to suit a new design or specification for the living space. The fact that the main service ducts are hidden and located above the space again facilitates such re-arrangement.
Referring to Figs. 5 to 8, the preformed composite panels 1 used in the flooring system of the invention are shown in more detail. The profiled sheet 3 has a plurality of generally trapezoidal formations 30 each having a generally flat base part 31 and a pair of upwardly extending and diverging side walls 32. Stepped back intermediate portions 33 are located between the trapezoidal formations 30. For enhanced structural strength the side walls 32 of the trapezoidal formations are of stepped form. Transversely extending reinforcing ribs 35 are provided in the intermediate portions 33 to again enhance structural performance.
The profiled sheet 3 has a first side overlap portion 40 on one side and a second side overlap portion 41 on the opposite side. The first overlap portion 40 is substantially free of insulating core 4 and the side edge of the insulating core at the first overlap portion has a first inclined wedge face 43. At the second side overlap portion 41 the side edge of the insulating core has a second inclined wedge face 44 which is oppositely directed to the first inclined wedge face 43 so that the wedge faces 43. 44 of adjacent like panels are interengagable on assembly.
The generally flat sheet 2 may have a first overlap portion 50 on one side and a second overlap portion 51 on the opposite side. The first overlap portion 50 comprises an outer male projecting part 52 and an inner recess part 53. The second overlap portion
51 comprises an outer recess part 54 and an inner male projecting part 55 which are interengagable with the outer male projection 52 and the inner recess part 53 of an adjacent like panel, on assembly.
Various alternative constructions of composite panels to suit various requirements used in flooring systems of the invention are illustrated in Figs. 8(a) to 8(c). In one case (Fig. 8(a)) there is no engagement features formed in the sheet 2.
Referring to Fig. 9 there is illustrated an alternative flooring system of the invention. Parts similar to those of the flooring system described above are assigned the same reference numerals. In this case, a cementitious or other suitable flowable material is applied over the top sheet 2 and a covering 61 may be applied over the material 60, when set. To facilitate bonding key features may be formed in or provided on the top sheet 2. The cementitious layer 60 may have suitable reinforcements. In another arrangement as illustrated in Figs. 10 to 13 the panels are laid so that the profiled sheet 3 is uppermost and the generally flat sheet 2 is lowermost. A top layer 10 of a flowable material such as concrete is provided to which a covering 71 may be applied.
The flooring system of the invention has the advantage of providing a floor of excellent structural integrity that includes insulation, and the facility to accommodate services. This eliminates the need for the user/installer to separately obtain and to lay insulation. In addition the floor system of the invention has the advantages of improved ease of installation.
The flooring system of the invention has the further advantages that it provides an integral passageway for services. It facilitates ease of location and installation of services and provides means for alignment of the services.
The engagement features of the panels facilitate a high quality joint having a high levels of insulation, fire performance. The arrangement of the wedge faces of the insulating core at the joint and overlap and the other features described above also provide for high mechanical strength.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in construction and detail.
