Description

Frame construction profile for closure of an opening in a construction wall, frames made of such profiles, windows or doors having such frames and a method of fastening such windows or doors, in insulating section of the walls
The present invention relates to frame construction profiles for closure of an opening in a construction wall, frames made of the profiles and window or door having such frames, as well as a method for fitting such windows or doors, especially in thermo- insulating section of the construction wall.
At present, passive buildings, characterized by minimal heat losses, focus an attention of societies and authorities of majority of industrialized countries of the world, especially those located in moderate and polar climate zones. With an aim of limiting heat losses, modernization of an old building stock, including apartment and office buildings, is widely carried out, while in new buildings more and more popular is filling of windows and doors within insulation section of external walls. In subtropical and equatorial climate zones analogous solutions protect against heat entry into building's interior space, especially when air-conditioning is installed.
Thus far, actual window and door frames are fastened to jambs of window and door openings in construction walls in such a way that a fitting gap is situated perpendicularly to the construction wall axis. It provides a direct connection between an inner space and an external environment. Such a direct connection is disadvantageous because of heat losses and poor wind-, sound- and moisture-proofness of a window or door. An improvement may be achieved by sealing and covering the fitting gap with an insulation layer, however complete elimination of heat losses is not possible. Examples of the up-to-date systems of fitting the actual window or door frames are shown in the accompanying drawings Fig. la and Fig. lb.
There are also problems with finishing works around openings already closed with fitted windows or doors. These questions have already been solved in the prior art in accordance with publications Nos. CN 104033070 and CN 105275309. The solutions disclosed in the two publications are illustrated in the enclosed drawings Fig.lc to Fig. Id. However, the solutions - although making the fitting work at the building construction site significantly more efficient, do not contribute to minimalization of heat losses and do not ensure sufficient air/wind- and sound-proofness.
Inadequate sealing of the fitting gaps around actual window and door frames performed at the building construction sites, results in heat losses that are especially intensive around windows and doors that are fitted while using the known fitting means. Such losses are still significant - although reduced, when windows and doors are fitted within thermo-insulating section of outer walls.
It is an aim of the invention to provide a solution that allows to eliminate or reduce the indicated disadvantages of fitting windows and doors in openings in construction walls and to reduce material costs and costs of labour performed at the building construction sites related to window and door fitting, also in case of modernization, aiming to minimize heat losses, such modernization consisting of insulation of the building outer walls, exchange of windows and fitting the new windows within thermo-insulating section of the walls.

Detail description of the invention
In further part of the present description and claims terms that follow have the meaning indicated below, unless other meaning clearly results from the context of their use:
The term construction wall" is to mean a construction of a monolayer structure, that usually does not need to be provided with thermo-insulating section, i.e. such a structure as an inner wall within a building, both a partition wall and a load-bearing wall, an outer wall of a building that does not need an insulation or thermo-insulating section either for a climate reasons, or due to an intended use of the building, as well as a construction of a multilayer structure, in particular an outer wall of a passive building in various climate regions (zones), covered either externally with an insulation when located in cool climate regions, or internally with thermo-insulation when located in warm and hot climate zones.
The term „actual frame" of a closure of an opening in a construction wall, is intended to denote an actual frame of window, internal door, external door, balcony door, and the term„window" is to denote both a window provided with one or more movable window sashes and a fix-type window, while the term„door" is to denote one leaf or multiple leaf door: internal, external, balcony door, including tilting or sliding ones.
The term supporting frame" refers to a novel solution of the present invention and is to mean a frame adjusted in terms of dimensions and shape to a given opening in a construction wall, which frame at the manufacturing stage - i.e. off the construction site, is permanently assembled with an actual frame of a window or door intended to form a closure of the opening, the frame allowing to fit the window or door into the opening in an outer wall of the building, in particular a passive building,while operating for the inner space of the building, thus without necessity of using external scaffoldings.
The term„mechanical connection" denotes any connection chosen from among friction fit connection, connection by means of screw, rivet, flat anchor, mounting strip, corner tiles and bars and other fasteners.
The term„chemical connection" it to be understood as meaning a connection by means of glue, a sealant, adhesive or by thermal bonding having sufficient tensile and shear strength, which chemical connection may be additionally strengthened by a mechanical connection.
The term „fitting gap" is to denote a space between a construction section (structure) of a construction wall and a supporting frame or an actual frame for a closure of an opening in the construction wall. In the up-to date solution known from the prior art, a fitting gap is situated perpendicularly to the construction wall axis, within the open area of the opening in the construction wall and within the construction section (structure) of the wall. According to the present invention, an essential part of the fitting gap is situated in a plane parallel to the axis of the wall, i.e. in parallel to the outer or inner surface of the wall. In the solution according to the present invention, the fitting gap is not rectilinear and its outlet is situated between the construction section and thermo-insulating section of the construction wall.
The term„thermo-insulating section" of a construction wall covers both such a section preventing loss of heat from the heated in-door facility in a passive building in particular, as well as a section preventing transmittance of an external heat to an inner space of cooled (air-conditioned) premises. The term„insulation layer" is used herein to denote a thermo-insulating material layer mounted on external surfaces of the walls of the building subjected to modernization in order to minimize heat losses by means of decreasing an overall heat penetration of the building external walls.
Up-to-date, as the main cause of inadequacy of sealing of the fitting gap around window or door, difficult conditions prevaling at the building construction sites should be mentioned, both the climate and technical conditions, as well as those related to the workers. Inadequacy of sealing of the fitting gap in turn is the main cause in the prior art of the heat escape from the inner space of the heated premises having closures of openings in the construction walls fitted in a traditional way, even when the external insulation layer partially covers an actual window or door frame.
The solution according to the invention, based on use of the supporting frame having the now proposed construction, to which supporting frame at the stage of manufacturing, preferably out of the building construction site, an actual frame of a closure of an opening in a construction wall is permanently connected, provides the following advantages:
- it ensures situating of an essential part of the window or door fitting gap in a position parallel to the construction wall axis, such a position resulting in minimization of heat transmittance between the inner space of the premises and the external environment, after covering the supporting frame with a thermo-insulating material layer;
- it ensures a significant stiffening of window or door construction (structure) and thus allows a possibility of elimination of inner metal reinforcement or other form of reinforcement of the actual window or door frame, and in turn it results in a possibility of significant increase of thermal insulating parameters of the frame, especially when the thus obtained hollow space therein with thermo-insulating material;
- it allows for an elimination of external reinforcements of actual window or door frames, and thus for reduction of window or door manufacturing costs;
- it allows for easier window or door fitting, within a shortened time and thus reduces the costs related to work done at the building construction site;
- it results in a significant reduction of costs of window or door fitting within the insulation, due to elimination of fixing supporting consoles or other supporting constructions used thus far in such window or door fitting.
- it eliminates the necessity of using external scaffoldings at the stage of fitting windows or doors;
- it significantly reduces a risk of faulty sealing of the fitting gap resulting from a change of the fitting gap shape and change of localization of the actual window or door frame in relation to the construction section (structure) of the construction wall: In majority of the known systems of fitting windows within the area of insulation, the window together with the sealing is inserted into a previously installed construction necessary for window installation within the area of insulation. When the supporting frame of the invention is used for fitting windows or doors within the thermal-insulating section, the frame together with the attached sealing material (for example an expanding tape) is merely pressed against the surface of the construction wall, so that displacement or faulty positioning of the sealing material is made not possible.
Simultaneously, the presently developed frame construction profile of the supporting frame for fitting windows or doors within thermo-insulating section (insulation) of the construction wall, ensures a possibility of adjusting such supporting frame to various existing and commonly used window systems comprising PVC, wooden, composite and other type windows, after optional slight modification of their actual frames. The adjustment of individual window system may require adjustment of systems for fastening movable parts of the windows (hinges, guides, etc.). In the most complex case, the hinges and other parts bearing the load of movable parts of windows should be modified in such a way that they can be attached to the flange of the supporting frame of the invention, or to the flange of the actual frame made of the frame construction profile B.
Beside its basic load-bearing function, the supporting frame of the invention may be in a selected color on visible parts of the side facing the inner space, which side constitutes a part of an aluminum protective and decorative finishing of windows and doors.
The presence of a stabilization flange results in an increased stiffening of the frame, makes easier fitting of window or door in the construction wall opening due to a possibility of resting the flange within the opening, a better sealing of the connection of the supporting frame with a plaster and - what is the most important, allows for fitting the window or door from the interior of the premisses, without a necessity of using external scaffoldings.
In case of FIX-type window (shopwindow), the present solution allows for hiding such window behind the jamb, after it reaches its final dimentions after the finishing works in such a way that its actual frame extends beyond the jamb for a distance close to the width of the slat surrounding glazing only.
Mechanical fasteners for connecting parts of the supporting frame should be also situated within the stabilizing flange. In case of the supporting frame construction profiles made of plastic, it is allowed to use chemical or thermal connections.
A number of features of the present frame construction profiles and the frames of the invention, as well as of the method according to the invention, for fitting windows and doors within the construction wall allows for making use of the present solutions and adjustment of the same to the needs of investors or to the conditions of modernization of the existing buildings. In view of the above aspect, the frame construction profile A of the supporting frame of the invention may have a T-shape cross-section when it is provided with an additional side projection as the extension of the outer surface of the main profile, the projection extending beyond the stabilising flange in a direction of the axis of the construction wall opening.
According to the invention the supporting frame construction profile A may have inner channels within both the main profile and the stabilizing flange, which channels are parallel to the outer surface of the main profile and the stabilizing flange. The channels contribute to the reduction of the profile weight and simulatneously increase profile's rigidity and resistance to deformations.
The frame construction profile A of the supporting frame according to the invention is made of high strength material, preferably of aluminum or plastic, optionally reinforced plastic.
In the frame construction profile A of the supporting frame of the invention there are also foreseen zones to be provided with mounting slots and holes for fastening screws and optionally for spacer bolts.
The supporting frame of the invention made of the frame construction profile A of the invention ensures that during fitting of the window - at the building construction site, a fitting gap is formed, the essential part of which gap is situated in a plane parallel to the axis of the construction wall, and also that the actual frame is situated beyond the construction section of the construction wall.
According to the invention, as a mechanical means for reinforcing connection of the supporting frame to the actual window or door frame the following may be used: flat installation anchors and/or L-shape (corner) bars, or else optionally appropriately shaped mounting strips fastened to the outer surface of the main profile by means of mechanical fasteners, preferably screws, as well as mechanical connecting means, preferably screws, connecting the main profile of the supporting frame with the actual window or door frame.
The window or door according to the invention has the actual frame fastened to the supporting frame within the area adjacent to the inner perimeter of the supporting frame, and the fastening is optionally mechanically reinforced. Preferably, the mechanical reinforcement is embodied by means of flat installation anchors and/or L-shape (corner) bars, the latter functioning as supporting concoles, or else optionally by means of appropriately shaped mounting strips fastened to the outer surface of the main profile of the supporting frame and optionally by means of mechanical connecting means, preferably fastening screws, connecting the actual frame with the main profile of the supporting frame within the area adjacent to the inner perimeter of the supporting frame.
In the frame construction profile B of the actual frame of the invention an additional outer extending zone and its thermo-insulating part, form - as it has been already mentioned, a single unit. They, however, may also form two separate parts, but strictly and closesly integrated with each other.
The actual frame made of frame construction profile B of the invention is preferably the actual window frame, and optionally in such a frame the additional outer extending zone of a bottom part of the frame is formed by the so called "warm window sill".
According to the invention the actual frame of a closure of an opening in a construction wall - without the stabilizing flange, is connected, preferably at the window or door manufacturing stage, with the supporting frame made of frame construction profile A. Alternatively, the actual frame having the stabilizing flange made of the frame construction profile B is used and such actual frame does not require employing of the supporting frame of the invention.
Preferably, in the method of fitting windows or doors of the invention, before the the frame being used is positioned, to the surface involved in forming a fitting gap, a thermo-insulating sealing is applied, preferably in form of an impregnated expanding tape. Preferably, there is used an insulation layer ensuring moisture-proofness from the inside and/or optionally wind-proofness from the outside.
In the method according to the invention a finishing works are preformed using a thermo-insulating material (insulation) and/or facade material on the external side of the wall and a thermo-insulating material, masking strip, plaster or finishing panel on the internal side of the wall - in case of the frame for a closure of an opening in the outer construction wall, while in case of the frame for a closure of an opening in the internal construction wall - using a masking strip, plaster or finishing panel on both sides of the construction wall.
As mentioned above in the drawings, Fig. la to Fig. Id illustrate the prior art related to a system of fitting an actual window or door frame 9 within a construction section 11 of the construction wall, with a fitting gap 10 situated perpendicularly to the axis 19 of the wall, filled with a sealing and sheltered with an insulation, forming a thermo-insulating section 12 of the construction wall (Fig. la), and currently used system for fitting an actual window or door frame 9 within thermo-insulating section 12 of the construction wall - beyond its construction section 11, with the fitting gap 10 perpendicularly oriented in relation to the wall axis 19, the gap being filled with a sealing and protected by an insulation forming a themo-insulation section 12 (Fig. lb). The solutions according to CN 104033070 and CN 105275309 are illustrated in the drawing Fig. lc and Fig. Id: within the construction section 11 of the construction wall there is fitted an intermediate frame for fitting into the same at the later stage of work an actual window or door frame; it alllows for completing the finishing works related to the construction wall before the building is furnished with windows and doors. It needs to be pointed out that in both Chinese solutions the fitting gap of the intermediate frame is also situated perpendicularly to the construction wall axis, and in result of that the solutions insufficiently eliminate losses of heat from the interior of the heated premisses and do not address the question of fitting an actual window or door frame, which question is one of the aims of the present invention. Undoubtedly, however, the two solutions streamline the construction mounting and finishing work at the building construction sites.
In the drawing, Fig. 2 presents the frame construction profile A of the supporting frame of the invention for fitting windows or doors within thermo-insulating section of the construction wall. The frame construction profile A, is formed of a flat main profile 1 and a stabilizing flange 2, constituting a second arm of the profile, preferably perpendicular to the axis of the main profile 1 - that is it has an L-shape form, wherein in the the main profile 1 there are zones 4 for providing therein fitting holes, holes for spacer bolts or mounting slots 6 (Fig.2a and Fig. 2c).
The frame construction profile A (Fig. 2b and Fig. 2d) may have an additional side projection 3 extending from the outer surface of the main profile 1, projecting beyond the stabilizing flange 2 and being perpendicular to the flange, converting the frame construction profile A into a form of T-beam bar.
The main profile 1 and the stabilizing flange 2 have inner channels 5 parallel to the surfaces of the profile and the flange.
Dimensions of the frame construction profile A in the embodiment shown in the drawing Fig. 2 have to ensure good and sustained fastening of the supporting frame made of the profile to the construction wall surrounding the opening in the wall, taking into account also the width of the fitting gap between the stabilizing flange and the jamb.
In the embodiment illustrated by Fig. 2 in the drawings, the frame construction profile A of the supporting frame for fitting windows or doors, especially within thermo- insulating section of the construction wall, is rectilinear. It may, however, have a shape of a part of a circle or ellipse (not shown), or else any fancy shape adjusted to the shape of openings in construction walls.
The frame construction profile A is made of high strength material, preferably of aluminum, plastic or composite material.
In the drawing Fig. 3 localization of the fitting gap 10 is illustrated, which gap is formed when the frame construction profile A is used. The profile comprise the main profile 1 and the stabilization flange 2, which profile is joined with the actual window or door frame 9, covered from the outside by the thermo-insulating section 12 of the construction wall having the construction section 11. The fitting gap 10 - in its essential part is situated in parallel to the axis 19 of the construction wall. Contrary to the prior art solutions (see the drawings Fig. 1), the outlet of the fitting gap 10 is situated deep within the thermo-insulating section 12. Such direction of the fitting gap outlet significantly reduces heat losses and increases wind-proofness of thus fitted window.
The supporting frame of the invention is made of frame construction profile A. As it is illustrated by the embodiment shown in the drawing Fig. 4a to Fig. 4c, sections of the frame construction profile A appropriately cut to form a supporting frame, of a shape substantially similar to a square, for fitting a substantially square window within a substantially square opening in a construction wall, are at their ends joined together with each other with connecting elements 7 (Fig. 4a). A number of connecting elements 7 is adjusted to a width of the main profile 1 and to the depth of the stabilizing flange 2. Joining the cut profile sections by means of mechanical connecting elements 7, that are mechanically screwed, or chemically or thermally connected leads to obtain the integrated frame. Connections between individual sections of the frame construction profile A should be sealed with apropriate sealing.
Within zone 8 of the outer surface of the frame construction profile A sections there is foreseen an area for combining with the actual window or door frame 9. The actual frame 9 is connected with the supporting frame made of frame construction profile A and the connection - for example chemical one, is reinforced by means of fasteners 13, or L-shape (corner) bars 13', that may additionally function as a console supporting the actual window frame 9, in case of its havier construction, or else by means of screws being screwed directle into the actual frame 9. It should be stressed that the supporting frame of the invention may be used for fitting any and all available window types.
For fastening the supporting frame to the surface of the construction wall, holes arranged within zones 4 may be employed. For positioning of the supporting frame, the holes - optionally threaded, for specer bolts are utilized, the holes being drilled within the zone 4 area of the frame construction profile A used for manufacturing the frame, either prior to or after the individual sections of the profile are cut. Distance between the fitting holes usually is ca. 30 cm, however depending on the fitting conditions the fitting holes may be drilled in closer of more distant positions on the perimeter of the supporting frame of the invention.
In the drawings, Fig. 5 illustrates the subsequent stages of combining of the actual frame 9 with the supporting frame (Fig. 5a), as well as with the construction section 11 of the construction wall (Fig. 5b), and finally - sheltering the supporting frame with the actual window or door frame 9 by means of the insulation forming the thermo-insulating section 12 of the construction wall (Fig. 5c).
The actual window or door frame 9 with a window sash 14 or the frame 15 of the Fix-type window is fastened within the zone 8 of the supporting frame on the side facing an axis of the opening in the construction wall. Chemical connection within the zone 8 is reinforced by means of flat connecting plates 13 fastened by means of - for example screws, to the supporting frame or screws screwed directly to the profile of the actual frame 9. Next, the supporting frame is inserted into the opening in the construction wall so that the main profile 1 and the flange 2 embrace corners of the opening in the construction section 11 of the construction wall so that essential part of the fitting gap 10 is situated parallelly to the axis of the construction wall. This part of the fitting gap 10 is filled with a sealing 17. The fitting gap 10 adjacent to the flange 2 is filled with a fitting foam 16 and the whole is fastened to the jamb surface within the construction section 11 of the construction wall, by means of flat installation anchors 19 fixed in the mounting slots 6, using for example screws or quick assembly pins. It is possible to strengthen the fastening of the supporting frame, by means of mechanical connecting elements fastened to the outer surface of the construction wall.
The fitted and fastened supporting frame with the actual frame 9 is covered from the outside with an insulation layer forming the thermo-insulating section 12 of the construction wall.
In another embodiment of the present invention, based on employment of the frame construction profile B for manufacturing the actual window or door frame 9', the inner profile 20 with the flange 2' serves the same purpose as the supporting frame made of the frame construction profile A, while the thermo-insulating part 22 of the frame construction profile B, optionally externally covered with the outer profile 21, serves the same purpose (and function) as the actual frame 9 fastened by means of the supporting frame manufactured of frame construction profile A. Within the flange 2' there are mounting slots 6, located on the inner surface of the flange 2', and this allows for fastening of the actual frame 9' within the construction section 11 of the construction wall, by means of the flat installation anchors 18 to the jamb surface of the opening in the construction wall using for example screws or quick assembly pins. Within the additional outer zone of the profile 20 there are zones for optionally arranging the holes for fastening screws and spacer bolts.
The actual frame 9, 9' should be optionally equipped with hinges or other fittings that are preferably fastened to the stabilizing flange 2, 2'. At the fitting spot, to the supporting frame or to the inner profile 20 of the frame 9' an insulation 17 for example in form of impregnated expanding take should be attached so that after the frame fitting the sealing 17 be located between the frame and a surface of the construction wall. Within the mounting slots of the stabilizing flange 2, 2' it is posssible to fix mounting ties that stabilize window or door during the fitting time (time of installation).
Window or door with the supporting frame and actual frame 9 or with the actual frame 9' should be leveled and plumb for example using spacer bolts or fitting wedges. Next the whole assembly should be fastened by means of mechanical connecting elements to construction wall (such elements as for example quick assembly pins). After mechanical fastening of the window or door, into the space between the jamb surface and the stabilizing flange 2, 2' preferably fitting foam 16 is introduced.
After fitting and fastening the door or window, the construction wall is ready for plastering on the inner side and covering with insulation on the outer side. There is no need for labour consuming finishing with moisture-proofing and wind-proofing insulation tapes.
Inner plaster is spread on the jamb surface in line with the stabilizing flange 2, 2' and thus an even surface of the jamb is obtained.
The invention was described in details with respect to the supporting frame manufactured of the frame construction profile A, for fitting windows or doors within the insulation, however utilization of the same for fittings within thermo-insulating section of the construction wall of the air-conditioned building will require just a simple adjustment or modification, that do not create any problem for those skilled in the art.
