Description

FACADE CLADDING SYSTEM

Technical Field

The invention relates to the facade cladding system developed for use in the construction industry for coating the exterior walls of the buildings.

In particular, the invention relates to the fagade cladding system that prevents the extra weight caused by heavy building materials such as marble, precast and the like, minimizes the errors occurring during the manufacturing phase and eliminates the visual problems arising due to these errors.

Prior Art

The process of architectural or technical coating or decorated the interior and exterior facades of buildings by using different insulation materials is called facade cladding or coating. The purpose of the facade cladding is to provide or strengthen the thermal insulation of buildings. As an average standard value, with the facade cladding, it is aimed to maintain a temperature between 20 and 22 degrees in the living spaces inside the buildings. The facade cladding, along with its thermal insulation, also ensures that the buildings are provided with a decorative and aesthetic architectural identity. Exterior cladding materials, by definition, are the structural elements used outside of auxiliary building elements such as the main structure, bearing or non-bearing walls and so on, which can be applied on the exterior in addition to the main building elements according to the requirements of the structure and its purpose of use. The materials found in nature were assembled according to the conditions and technology of the time and were used as facade cladding materials in the buildings. Over time, different products have emerged considering the needs of people, technological developments and the discovery of various materials.

The exterior cladding systems being applied today consists mainly of the load- bearing framework, insulation, and coating material. The load-bearing framework is as important as the column of the building in facade cladding. It ensures that the water reaching the surface is drained and also carries the coating material. Insulation consists of heat, sound, water, ultraviolet and similar insulation materials. The coating material is the outermost visual part consisting of glass, composite, ceramic, wood, stone and similar materials. The current natural marble coatings applied today have problems both due to the application technique and the anatomical structure of the material as well as the percentage of kg per m² and the amount of mounting done daily. Since natural marble is a heavy material due to its structure, falls can occur especially as a result of gluing it with mortar. On the other hand, due to its weight, workers are forced during the coating process. In the ceramics and similar coatings used today, especially material and workmanship faults cannot be absorbed, and due to deficiencies in mounting technique, over time, they result in visually unpleasant images, especially due to deterioration or alteration of joints. Since the precast facade cladding is manufactured larger than other cladding materials, it is applied with the help of large construction machines and cranes, and there are problems especially in narrow areas, from the scaffolding to finding qualified master workers who can operate the working / mounting process.

Many studies have been conducted today in order to overcome the existing problems. Some of these studies aim to develop lighter materials with natural stone appearance, while others aim to develop load-bearing profiles that provide stronger and easier assembly. One of these studies is the subject of the utility model registered as TR201817613 and titled “Load-bearing Profile for Facade Cladding Material”. The invention is a bearing profile to ensure that the facade cladding materials used in curtain wall systems are attached to the facade, wherein; the carrier profile comprises at least one compartment on the side facing the facade cladding material, at least on one side of the compartment comprises the retaining clip and the retaining clip slot to fix the cladding material to the carrier profile, absorbing and reducing the impact of the impact received when the cladding material is exposed to external influences, a buffer that prevents the swinging of said coating material by gently squeezing it with the retaining clip and a bumper seat to which said buffer is fixed, and a carrier profile foot that ensures a firm fixation of the carrier profile with the bracket.

Another one of these studies is the subject of the utility model registered as TR201805724 and titled“A Type of Facade Cladding Element”. It relates to the improvements made in the connection bracket(s) and in the connection element duct(s), in order to simplify and facilitate the installation of the external cladding element used in the coating and isolation of the exterior surfaces of the buildings (buildings, prefabricated structures, wooden structures etc.).

Another one of these studies is the subject of the utility model registered as TR201503403 and titled “An Innovation in the reinforced wall Precast Facade Cladding Panel.” The invention relates to a panel made of concrete material used in all kinds of earthenware and geogrid equipped wall applications as a front surface coating, pile front coating, precast concrete facade coating, wherein; in order to provide miter mounting of the panels during the installation of multiple panels on top and side by side to form the facade, it comprises a sub-mounting indentation and a sub-mounting overhang in the structure surrounding the edge of the lower section of the body in hexagonal form, and an indentation with upper mounting protrusion in the structure surrounding the edge of the upper part of the body.

As a result, the need for a facade cladding system that resolves the disadvantages in the present technique and the absence of an existing solution necessitated an improvement in the relevant technical field.

In this detailed description, the facade cladding system (100), which is the subject of the invention and developed for use in coating the reinforced concrete floor (200) parts of the buildings in the construction sector, is described only as an example for better understanding of the subject and without any limiting effect.

The facade cladding system (100) shown in Figure-1 has been developed to provide easy and fast installation by minimizing the defects that occur during the manufacturing phase, as well as removing the weight caused by the heavy-build materials such as marble to the building. Also, with the said facade cladding system (100), visual problems occurring due to the errors experienced during the manufacturing phase are eliminated. The said facade cladding system (100) is especially applied together with the insulation material (150) in order to prevent energy losses in the building by providing heat insulation. The insulation material (150) shown in Figure-2 provides added value by saving energy to the building. The waterproof blanket (140) used in conjunction with the said insulation material (150) is breathable despite being waterproof and preferably fire-resistant. The bearing profile (160), which is used to keep all the elements of the said facade cladding system (100) together, ensures that all the elements are installed / assembled without error. The air gap (170) shown in Figure-3 is formed in parallel with the bearing profile (160) between the insulation material (150) in front of the reinforced concrete floor (200) and the waterproof blanket (140) behind the coating material (130). The said air gap (170) serves as both a sound barrier and heat insulation.

The special production stainless anchorage (1 10) used in the facade cladding system (100) shown in Figure-4 provides both the transportation of the coating material (130) and the clear standard of the horizontal and vertical intermediary joints. Due to the said anchorage (1 10), it is ensured that all parts are aligned via preventing alignment / montage errors on the surface. The said anchorage (1 10) is fixed by means of the anchorage connector (1 1 1 ). In order to connect the said anchor (1 10) to the covering panels (130), the non-fixed stainless pin (120), which acts like a socket to the carrier profile (160), is connected. While each cladding material (130) of different sizes, from the smallest to the largest, is made in-house, the self-made pin housing (121 ) forms the mounting system. The specially produced pin dowel (122) developed to prevent deformation of the coating material (130), which has certain locations in the molds during the manufacturing phase, is also absorbed by the work due to the expansions in variable weather conditions, preventing possible errors and keeping the coating material (130) rigid. The coating material (130) used in the said facade cladding system (100) has been manufactured in its standard as horizontal and vertical layers in dimensions of 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 cm and so on. The said coating material (130) can also be manufactured with different geometric shapes and in irregular dimensions. The said coating material (130) is produced as having a wooden texture, travertine texture, textured surface, andesite surface texture, flat matte and flat glossy surface texture, as well as in all sizes and textures in different colors and shades, with self-painted and preservative, and thus provides fast and convenient way to apply variety of combinations.

The facade cladding system (100) shown in Figure-5 is connected to the bearing profile (160) carried by the main loadbearing anchorage (161 ) fixed to the reinforced concrete floor (200) of the building by means of steel dowel (162). The feature of the said facade cladding system (100) is that it provides fast, error-free and visually smooth installation in all kinds of coating material (130) variations by removing the extra weight loaded to the building by the heavy materials such as marble, precast and so on. In addition, due to the specially manufactured coating material (130) included in the said facade cladding system (100), the transportation and mounting problems that arise due to the weight of the materials used have been eliminated. The anchorage connection element (1 1 1 ) and the carrier profile (160) are anchored by the stainless, corrosion-resistant anchorage (1 10) having the slots for the screws, countersunk bolts and special pins (120) that is comprised in the said facade cladding system (100). The pin (120), which is specially manufactured, resistant to corrosion and pressure, used as a mounted and disassembled apparatus as a socket, has a nail anatomy and is not fixed to any material, provides the connection of the coating material (130) to the anchorage (1 10). The pin slot (121 ), which is made with the help of a computer with measurement precision, forms the mounting system when the parts of different sizes are on top of each other. The said pin slot (121 ) is fixed in special locations where the pin (120) enters into it to connect the anchor (1 10) to the coating material (130). The pin dowel (122) which is integrated into the molds during the manufacturing phase and remains in the manufacturing after disassembly of the mold is made of plastic or metal material.

For the installation of the facade cladding system (100) shown in Figure-6, after the application of the facade to be assembled, the main bearing anchorage (161 ) is fixed with steel dowels (162) so as to come to the reinforced concrete floor (200) of the building. Following that, the load-bearing profile (160) is formed via the welding or screwing methods and by providing the horizontal and vertical plane, the main structure is created. Then, the insulation material (150) and the waterproof blanket (140) which provided the insulation are fixed to the load- bearing profile (160) via overlapping on top of each other by the adhesive method. After the said insulation material (150) and the waterproof blanket (140) are mounted, the anchorage (1 10) is fixed and connected mechanically to the load- bearing profile (160) by means of the anchorage connector (1 11 ). Then, after the pin (120) of the system formed by the pin dowel (122) that forms the pin slot (121 ) in the coating material (130), passes through the hole of the anchorage (1 10) after entering the pin slot (121 ) and the pin dowel (122), the coating the material (130) is fixed and its assembly is completed. Due to the structure of the said facade cladding system (100), different sizes of coating materials (130) can be installed together at the same time. The feature of said cladding system (100) is that the coating material (130) with special pin slots (121 ) can have all kinds of colors, textures, figures, and surfaces, and it can be preferred and produced in desired sizes and allows combinations in reinforced concrete floor (200). After the coating material (130) that comes in front of the said waterproof blanket (140), an air gap (170) is formed in the area between the insulation material (150) and the waterproof blanket (140).
