Definitions

• the invention relates to a system for cladding buildings, typically walls such as building facades.
• the walls of the building are clad with panels of a insulating material, typically polystyrene, which are usually fixed by anchors and are arranged adjacent to one another to form a continuous covering.
• a insulating material typically polystyrene
• Sheets of plastic netting are stretched and fixed onto the panels to produce a surface which will support the rendering that will be spread throughout the surface, These sheets of netting will be covered with a layer of rendering which adheres to the underlying polystyrene panels and which can be further worked to obtain a desired finish, such as smoothing and colouring.
• the main aim of the present invention is to make available a system for realising overcoat-type claddings which is simple and rapid, in order to shorten working times and expenditure of manpower, with a consequent cost reduction.
• the invention provides a system for cladding structures which comprises a plurality of prefabricated panels arranged adjacent to one another in reciprocal contact, and means for fastening for fixing the prefabricated panels to the building structure, in order to form a modular covering; each prefabricated panel comprising a slab made of a heat insulating material, a flat net stretched and fixed on the slab, and a layer of rendering spread on the flat net and stably fixed to the slab.
• the prefabricated panels can be made in a separate place using dedicated tools and manpower which enable a reduction in the production costs, while at the worksite the realisation of the cladding requires only the laying of the prefabricated panels, thus considerably reducing necessary work-time.
• figure 1 is a portion of a cladding obtained using the system of the invention
• figure 2 is section II-II of figure 1
• figure 3 is a plan view of a prefabricated panel according to the invention
• figure 4 is section IV-IV of figure 3
• figure 5 is a perspective view of the prefabricated panel of figure 3
• figure 6 is an exploded view of a prefabricated panel belonging to a cladding of the invention
• figure 7 is a plan view of a prefabricated panel in a further embodiment thereof.
• the system for cladding building structures of the present invention comprises a plurality of prefabricated panels 1, which are laid on a building structure, in the example a wall 10, in order to form thereon a modular cladding 100.
• the laying of the prefabricated panels 1 comprises their arrangement side-by-side in reciprocal contact, each being fastened to the wall 10, preferably by use of usual nylon anchors 11 (see figures 2 and 6).
• the prefabricated anchors 1 are all the same, and are factory-made using dedicated tools and manpower which advantageously leads to their mass production, shortening times and containing costs.
• Each prefabricated panel 1 comprises a slab 2 made of a heat-insulating material, a flat net 3 stretched and fastened to the slab 2 and a layer of rendering 4 spread on the flat net 3 and stably connected to the slab 2.
• both the slab 2 and the layer of rendering 4 have good transpiration characteristics, in the sense that they are substantially permeable to vapour, in order to prevent condensation from forming on the panels 1.
• the slab 2 is flat and exhibits a substantially rectangular plan shape, in order to make the side-by-side arranging of the panels 1 forming the cladding easier, faster and more flexible.
• the slab 2 further exhibits a projecting rib 20 which develops along two consecutive sides thereof, and a housing channel 21 having a same profile as the rib 20 and running along the two remaining sides (see figures 3 and 5).
• the channel 21 of each flat slab 2 strikingly receives the projecting rib 20 of another, adjacent slab 2, giving the cladding 100 a structural continuity (see figure 2).
• the slab 2 must be sufficiently light to facilitate laying the panels 1 and for realising a cladding 100 which does not place an excessive weight on the wall 10, and which exhibits good mechanical characteristics in order to be able to support its own weight and the weight of the net 3 and the layer of rendering 4.
• the slab 2 is preferably made of polystyrene having a density comprised between 20 and 35 kg/m , breadth comprised between 2 cm and 20 cm and a shape which can vary between 55x100 cm and 70x140 cm.
• it can be made of polyurethane or cork.
• the flat net 3 is applied on the slab 2, which flat net 3 functions as a reinforcement for the overlying layer of rendering 4, and is of the type usually used in construction work, generally a plastic material (PVC).
• PVC plastic material
• the flat net 3 is cut into a predetermined shape, and is then stretched and fixed to the respective slab 2.
• the flat net 3 is fixed by spay-gluing of a special grout.
• a special material for rendering, in paste-form, is then laid on the flat net 3, which bonds to the net 3 and the underlying slab 2, in order to solidify and realise the desired layer of rendering.
• This material for rendering is preferably constituted by a mixture comprising a grout having characteristics of porosity, and a special glue, generally a transparent resin suitable for gripping onto the flat net 3 and the slab 2.
• the channels 22 are filled with the paste material so that after drying there is a bond which prevents the sliding of the layer of rendering 4 on the slab 2.
• the material used for the layer of rendering 4 is also, after dilution in water, advantageously used for the grouting stage when fixing the flat net 3 to the slab 2.
• the flat net 3 exhibits a projecting limb 30 extending outwardly from the slab 2, while the layer of rendering 4 covers a limited surface of the slab 2, so as to leave thereon a free strip 23.
• the limb 30 projects from two consecutive sides of the edge of the slab 20, and the free strip 23 is adjacent to the remaining sides of the edge.
• the projecting limb 30 of each of the panels 1 at least partially covers the free strip 23 of the adjacent panels 1 (see figure 6).
• a modular cladding 100 which comprises a plurality of rendered areas, each constituted by a layer of rendering 4, which are separated among themselves by free strips 23 lacking in rendering and covered by limbs of flat net 3 (see figure 1).
• the free strips 23 are then covered with a layer of rendering material, preferably of the same type as the rendering used for the manufacture of the prefabricated panels 1, in order to make the facade on view uniform.
• a layer of rendering material preferably of the same type as the rendering used for the manufacture of the prefabricated panels 1, in order to make the facade on view uniform.
• the flat net 3 of each of the panels 1 extends up until it also covers the free strip 23.
• the free strip 23 of each one thereof is covered by two superposed limbs of flat net 3, of which one limb belongs to the same prefabricated panel 1, while the other limb belongs to the adjacent prefabricated panel 1.
