Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of building systems and, in particular, to systems incorporating the use of improved materials for insulating a section of a building.
- a building section including:
- a cladding member connected in fixed relation relative to the sub-structure; and an elongate, flexible insulating element, the insulating element having at least one insulating segment which is substantially incompressible, wherein the insulating element is disposed between the sub-structure and the cladding member for damping energy transfer between the cladding member and the sub-structure.
- substantially incompressible is used herein to define at least one insulating segment of an insulating element which substantially resists compression during and after fixing between a sub- structure and a cladding member when
- cladding member is intended to include all internal or external wall, floor and ceiling covering panels and planks or opening covers such as windows and door frames, as may be secured to a structural frame to define a building envelope.
- the substantially incompressible characteristic of the at least one insulating segment results in this segment substantially maintaining its geometric shape when the cladding member is being connected to the sub-structure by fasteners which pass through the insulating element.
- the at least one insulating segment provides support to the cladding member when the cladding member is being secured to the substructure. It will be appreciated that this enables cladding materials such as fibre cement panels to be nailed or screwed to the sub- structure using conventional power tools and the like by providing rear support to the material.
- the substantial incompressibility of the at least one insulating segment helps facilitate the erection of a building section having a substantially continuous cladding surface at the abutting edges of adjacent cladding members.
- the substantial incompressibility of the at least one insulating segment also helps to inhibit over driving fasteners when using conventional hand and power tools.
- the insulating element reduces the transfer of thermal energy between the cladding member and the sub- structure. In other preferred embodiments, the insulating element reduces the transfer of acoustic energy between the cladding member and the sub-structure. Preferably, the insulating element reduces the transfer of both thermal and acoustic energy between the cladding member and the substructure. In some embodiments, the damping of energy transfer between the cladding member and the sub-structure is primarily effected by the at least one substantially incompressible insulating segment. In other embodiments, the damping of energy transfer is achieved by the combination of the substantially incompressible insulating segment or segments and the remaining segment or segments of the insulating element.

- the insulating element (or the at least one insulating segment) has a thermal conductivity of less than 0.1 W/m-K.

- the frame members 3 may be made from timber or metal such as steel.
- the frame 2 may be a section of any suitable building frame including a wall frame, a sub-floor frame, a ceiling frame and a roof frame.

In addition, it is to be understood that certain frames may be inclined, rather than being arranged to lie in a substantially vertical or horizontal plane.
- each cladding panel 4 preferably spans two or more of the frame members 3.

- Each strip of foam tape 7 is adhered directly to the respective frame member 3 by the layer of adhesive 9.

- the panel 4 is then secured in the desired position such that each strip of foam tape 7 is disposed between the frame 2 and the associated panel 4.
- at least some of the fasteners 5 pass through the foam tape 7.
- the adhesive 9 works in combination with these fasteners to securely hold the strip of foam tape 7 relative to the cladding member 4 and frame 2.
- the foam tape 7 forms a thermal break for damping thermal transfer between the cladding panels 4 and the frame 2 to reduce thermal losses through the wall section 1.
- the insulating element again primarily provides thermal insulation.
- the insulating element primarily provides acoustic insulation.
- the foam tape can provide both thermal and acoustic insulation for the building section 1 and therefore reduce energy losses. It will be further appreciated that the foam tape 7 may also provide a degree of moisture management for the building section.
- the foam tape 4 is close- fittingly disposed between the frame 2 and the cladding panel 4.
- the frame 2 includes an elongate intermediate support member in the form of a top-hat batten 10.
- the top-hat batten 10 has a base 11, two webs 12 extending from the base 11 and a flange 13 associated with the distal end of each web 12.
- the top-hat batten 10 is arranged to extend substantially parallel to a vertical frame member 3 such that the base 11 overlies the associated frame member 3.
- the base 11 of the top-hat batten 10 is securely fastened to the associated frame member 3 and the cladding panel 4 is fastened to the webs 12 of the top-hat batten 10.
- a strip of foam tape 7 is sandwiched between the frame member 3 and the base 11 of the top-hat batten 10.
- a strip of foam tape 7 is also sandwiched between each web 12 and the cladding panel 4.
- the three strips of foam tape 7 act in combination to provide the desired insulation for damping energy transfer through the building section 1.
- a strip of foam tape 7 may be disposed between the base 11 and the associated frame member 3 only, with no foam tape being applied between the webs and the cladding panel 4.
- the flexiblility of the insulating foam tape 7 advantageously enables the tape to be wound along its longitudinal axis to form a spiralled roll 14 of the self-adhesive insulating tape 7 for storage prior to use. It will be appreciated that such a roll 14 of self-adhesive insulating tape 7 is compact, convenient to store and easily handled during installation as a thermal break.
- a building section 1 having an elongate, flexible insulating element which enables adjacent cladding panels to lie in substantially the same plane such that the edges of adjacent panels are not raised relative to one another.
- the invention represents a practical and commercially significant improvement over the prior art.
