Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of construction and space utilization engineering and to insulation elements, such as insulation boards used therein, as well as to wall and floor systems and the like comprising the same, for example to raised floor systems.
- An interior panel unit useful for floor installations is known from the United States patent US 5, 184,438.
- a readjustable floor system is known from the United States patent US 4,852,315.
- a support module system for use in floor structures is known from the published international patent application WO 99/64694.
- the Inventor's earlier inventions include a protective structure, which has been described in the published international patent application WO 98/17357, and a joint arrangement for use in connection with protecting plates, which has been described in the published international patent application WO 98/46830.
- the European patent application EP 0 488 312 A1 describes a system floor, which is applicable to installing for example cables for use in office automation and which has its base constructed on a base sheet of synthetic resin by pouring concrete in corner props at the base sheet corners, and in a central prop in the middle of the base sheet. After the concrete has hardened, the base sheet is turned upside down. The corner props filled with concrete and the central prop filled with concrete take up the weight of a floor to be laid on top of the base sheet.
- the published Japanese patent application 03-107058 describes a floor base, consisting of steel strips or strips of synthetic resin in a side-by-side arrangement.
- the resulting grid has its crossover points fitted with columns of fixed height.
- the floor base can be implemented by means of a perforated plate and columns of fixed height.
- a similar type solution has also been disclosed in the published international patent application WO 99/64694, wherein the injection molded support members of fixed or variable height are interlinked with a grid.
- An object of the invention is to provide a versatile and easy-to-use insulation board, which would enable i.a. a thermo-economically sensible raised floor or the like to be assembled quickly and conveniently, even for just a temporary service, such as for the duration of concerts or the like on top of a lawn or the ice in an ice hockey arena, but also for a longer-term service as a structural building element.
- an insulation element such as an insulation board, according to claim 1.
- the insulation element according to the invention is characterized by what is presented in claim 1.
- the floor system according to the invention is characterized by what is presented in claim 13.
- the insulation element has its first surface comprising pedestals with a top surface appropriate for supporting a floor panel to be laid on top of the pedestals.
- the insulation board comprises a substantially continuous surface present between the pedestals.
- the insulation board comprises pedestals also on a second surface opposite to the first surface, the pedestals of said second surface being adapted to raise a bottom edge of the insulation board's continuous surface higher up than what is an installation level for the insulation element.
- One of the benefits of this is e.g. that between the surface and the installation level is left a space for example for ventilation and demoisturization, and/or for additional insulation.
- a narrow gap is in some cases particularly beneficial from the standpoint of ventilation, while a larger gap is convenient in terms of additional insulation.
- the continuous surface and pedestals are fabricated in one piece with a single process from at least one heat insulating material.
- the pedestals and the substantially continuous surface have such a mutual layout that between the pedestals onto the substantially continuous surface across the insulation board can be laid installation cables and, in addition, possibly also installation hoses or tubes.
- the floor system or the like such as a raised floor system, contains several insulation boards as claimed above (functioning essentially as support foundations), which are linked to each other and on top of which is laid at least one panel type component for establishing a raised floor.
- the pedestals of an insulation board make up a substantially closed surface.
- the insulation board turns out to be a structure with its heat insulation improved with respect to floor support foundations disclosed in published patent publications EP 0 488 312 A1 , JP 03-107058 and WO 99/64694.
- the insulation board's pedestals and the closed surface established by the substantially continuous surface and the at least one panel type component attachable to the insulation board make up therebetween a substantially closed air space, which on the one hand increases heat insulation in and of itself, but which on the other hand can be used as an installation space for a possibly required additional heat insulator.
- the space left between the pedestals also enables ventilation of a resulting interspace to be provided effectively, thus achieving the removal of moisture coming for example from a concrete floor or the like and thereby the prevention of moisture and mold damage.
- the ventilation can also be used for ventilating radon emitted from the ground.
- the pedestals offer also a distinct advantage in temporary solutions, such as for construction systems built for example in connection with concerts, wherein the pedestals provide a sufficient space between a floor structure to be constructed and for example a grass lawn, whereby the lawn does not become trampled except at pedestals at the most, and hence shall not be ruined.
- the pedestals when constructing e.g. on the ice of an ice hockey venue, the pedestals keep the insulation board off the ice surface, whereby the insulation board surface does not freeze into attachment with the ice (pedestals with a small surface area disengage from the ice surface considerably more easily than a surface the size of an entire board).
- a space which is established by means of pedestals and left between a board and an installation surface, enables, as pointed out elsewhere in this document, tubes and wires and the like to be laid inconspicuously and in safety between the floor and the installation surface.
- the insulation board according to the invention turns out to provide not only thermal but also acoustic insulation.
- the insulation board provides for increased space utilization. This refers to the efficient use of individual facilities (for example ice hockey arenas, concert halls, conference or banquet facilities) or areas (for example sports fields) for various practices.
- a raised floor system is constructible as a warm floor more easily in comparison with the solutions disclosed in published patent applications EP 0 488 312 A1 , JP 03-107058 and WO 99/64694.
- a primary reason for this is that the substantially closed air space and a possibly employed additional heat insulator make up effective thermal insulation.
- the pedestals are constructed from at least one heat insulating material, the sensation of draft resulting from a cold floor can be eliminated more easily with the use of a raised floor as the insulation board type support foundation is also in itself a poor conductor of heat.
- the raised floor can be laid directly on top of a basic cast concrete slab or elements of a building without requiring additional insulation or surface layers.
- the raised floor constitutes at the same time an installation flooring. This represents a major saving in construction costs.
- the insulation board Being fabricated in a single piece, the insulation board holds together and most of all the distance between pedestals remains constant. In addition to this aspect, it is even more important that, by virtue of a single-piece fabrication practice, the insulation board is better in terms of remaining heat-proof. If the substantially continuous surface and the pedestals were to be constructed from different materials, it would be difficult in changing temperature conditions to obviate the deterioration of heat tightness resulting from dissimilar thermal expansion behaviors thereof.
- the insulation board's pedestals are adapted at the bottom edge thereof to terminate in a bottom edge of the continuous surface, enabling the construction of a support foundation such that it is installable in a form-fitting manner on its installation base, for example on a concrete or other raw floor, hence enabling to restrict more effectively the access of cold air under the insulation board without any extensive cold space developing under the insulation board.
- the pedestals When the pedestals are adapted to raise a bottom edge of the continuous surface higher than what is the insulation board installation level, it will be possible to reduce the conduction of heat from the insulation board to its installation base or vice versa. This improves outdoor service options for the insulation board, and for example its service as an ice arena cover panel.
- the pedestals When at least some of the pedestals include or make up at least one mounting element, the result is an increased versatility of the support foundation.
- the mounting element is or comprises an attachment hole or thread present on top of a pedestal for an insert attachment, especially for a bolt or screw attachment, or an insert, particularly an attachment bolt or screw, present on top of the pedestal.
- the mounting element is or comprises a groove, which is present on top or extends onto the top of a pedestal, and which extends from at least two edges of a pedestal to its interior, and which makes up at least one channel. This makes it possible to secure the insulation boards or support foundations more easily to each other.
- the insulation board may comprise also such a mounting element which facilitates fitting an insulation board or systems made up thereof with various features and devices, such as partitions, doors, electrical and lighting solutions, HVAC equipment and features, as well as other fixtures.
- the mounting element is or comprises a groove or channel for the laying of an installation cable, hose or tube. This facilitates finding the installation cable, hose or tube in a fully installed floor, since the location of pedestals is much easier to find in a fully installed floor.
- the mounting element comprises at least one laterally form-limited retaining element, especially a dovetail joint and/or a matching part therefor. Hence, this provides an ability to carry out the interlinking of support foundations in a simple manner.
- the mounting element is or comprises at least one groove or slot present on at least one wall of a pedestal for retaining the edge of a floorboard.
- This enables possibly not only a raised floor, a wall or the like but most of all a floor panel to be fastened without drilling holes and possibly even without tools. This enables floor panel damage to be avoided, whereby the same floor panel is more capable of being reused in various situations.
- not having to perforate the floor panel provides an improved ability to prevent moisture or water from ending up within the floor panel.
- the mounting element is or comprises at least one tablet type element for changing the friction coefficient a pedestal's surface with respect to the friction coefficient of the pedestal's own surface for either decreasing or increasing the static friction of a panel type element to be set on top of a support foundation.
- Increasing the static friction provides an ability to construct a more stationary floor.
- Decreasing the static friction provides an ability to construct a floor that can be offset in lateral direction with a lesser force.
- the pedestals of an insulation board are in such a configuration that the insulation board is stackable with another similar insulation board by turning one of the insulation boards upside down and by offsetting this across a distance substantially about equal to the width of one pedestal, whereby the pedestals become interfaced and stabilize a resulting stack at least against a push or pull applied laterally to the stack, a capability is provided of stowing insulation boards in a small space while not in use or for example during transport.
- the insulation boards are additionally in such a configuration that, in the area between pedestals, between the continuous surfaces of each superimposed support foundation is left a distance which enables an insulation board to be picked up from the stack by means of the forks of a forklift, it is by using the insulation boards transportable in a relatively small space that the assemblage raised floor can be assembled in a mechanized fashion. Hence, it becomes easier to cover large spaces, for example ice hockey arena floors, for temporary service.
- the insulation boards are fixed to each other by using a retaining element set in a channel of side-by-side and/or corner-to-corner insulation boards, such that the panel type component prevents a removal of the retaining element from an installed floor system or the like, a capability is provided of better avoiding an inadvertent removal of the retaining element from the installed floor or the like.
- the mounting element is or comprises a groove or slot on at least one wall of at least one pedestal for retaining the edge of a floor panel, and when at least some of such insulation boards are fixed by a panel type component relative to each other to become immovably stationary, a capability is provided of implementing a floor system or the like without removable retaining elements or with fewer removable retaining elements.
- the insulation board may comprise, in at least one of its edge zones, a feature for establishing a firebreak in the process of attaching insulation boards to each other, wherein the feature comprises a substantially incombustible material, such as metal, concrete or stone, and/or a fire retarding material different from the insulation board material in terms of its fire characteristics.
- the firebreak may comprise for example a fireproofed penetration.
- the firebreak has a height equal to that of the insulation board.

- the pedestals are depicted in the form of pedestals 203, but the pedestals can be implemented by using any of the above-described pedestals (or combinations thereof) jointly with the substantially continuous surface 101 .
- the insulation board 1800 has inter-pedestal partitions 1801 , 1802, which enable a compartmentalization of the insulation board. Some partitions 1801 , 1802 or parts thereof are removed or added for carrying out electrical, data or most generally for example HVAC cabling procedures in a compartmentalized manner. Thus, in the event of a possible (for example water) leak, the spill is controllably contained in its own compartment or does not have access to another (for example electrical) compartment.
- the support foundation 1800 lends itself to constructing any of the above-described raised floor systems in a compartmentalized, chuted and/or channeled configuration

- the ventilation element can be for example a fan 2001 b, either a blower or an exhauster, included in the cover solution 2003 of some insulation board and most preferably adapted to circulate air within channel systems left between the pedestals.
- the system consisting of insulation boards may preferably comprise make-up air elements 2001 b in at least one second insulation board, from which the make-up air is either exhausted (in case the ventilation element 2001 a is an exhauster) or by way of which the air to be circulated is removed from the channel system (in case the ventilation element 2001 a is a blower).
- a ventilation element 2002 can be mounted not on a cover solution but on an end 2004 of the insulation board (FIG. 20B), in case this is more beneficial for example from the standpoint of space efficiency and functionality.
- the pedestals for insulation boards can be designed in such a way that the airflow produced by ventilation elements can be guided effectively along channel systems established in a space between pedestals.
- the insulation board can be formed for example as early as in its fabrication process with deflector elements for guiding in a desired manner the airflow produced by ventilation elements.
- the ventilation element may also be just a hole, a grating 2003, 2004, a valve or the like, or a combination of these and a mechanized solution (blowing/exhausting), which enable sufficient and appropriate ventilation to be provided for example for the elimination of moisture and/or radon or the like.
- Figs. 21A-21 E illustrate some tongue-and-groove solutions 2100 according to one preferred embodiment of the invention, which have been discussed even earlier in this document.
- An objective of the tongue-and-groove solution is both to align individual insulation boards more precisely with each other when being assembled together and at the same time to improve heat insulation particularly in a direction perpendicular to the insulation board by eliminating the formation of direct heat bridges.
- the tongue-and-groove solution consists most preferably of male tongues and female grooves, which can be arranged for example on alternating sides of the insulation board or by providing two adjoining edges with male tongues and the other two edges with female grooves.
- Figs. 21 D and 21 E show various tongue- and-groove solutions for the insulation board in a view from above.
- the presently described insulation boards can also be fabricated in various shapes and sizes as determined for example by dimensions obtained in advance from a space to be constructed, whereby the construction of various floor, wall or the like systems from insulation elements of the invention is particularly expedient and effortless.
