Benefits of technology

The invention provides a composite cladding panel with an internal skin and an external skin, and insulation material between them. The external skin has a plurality of spacers attached to it, with one of the skins having a plurality of support elements for fixing tiles or the like. The support elements have a mounting leg for mounting to the panel and a support leg for receiving a tile fixing. The panel also has an adhesive on the inner face of the external skin and a plurality of tile fixings attached to the spacers. The technical effects of this invention include improved insulation, ventilation, and secure attachment of tiles to the panel.

Problems solved by technology

One of the problems with buildings constructed from pre-formed panels is that such panels can often be uninteresting aesthetically.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Referring to the drawings there is illustrated a composite cladding panel 1 according to the invention. The panel 1 comprises a steel skin or backing tray 2 and an external steel skin 3 with a layer of foam insulation material 4 such as a phenolic or polyurethane based foam material therebetween. The panel may be of any suitable type such as that described in our UK2325678A, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0019]One of the skins, in this case the external skin 3 has a plurality of spacers for fixing facade or cladding elements such as tiles 5 to the panel. The tiles may be brick, ceramic or the like to form a cladding for the panel. The spacers comprise support elements 10 and fasteners 12 for fastening the support elements 10 to the external skin 3.

[0020]Each fastener 12 comprises an internal clamping sleeve 15 and a bolt 16. One such fastening systems is that referred to in a Fablok (Trade Mark). A hole is first drilled through the skin 3 an...

Abstract

A composite cladding panel 1 comprises a backing tray 2 and an external skin 3 with a layer of foam insulation 4 therebetween. A plurality of spacers 10 are attached to the external skin 3. The spacers 10 are of top-hat form with mounting legs 41 for mounting to the skin 3 and a support 40 to which side edge clips 20 are mounted. The clips 20 have spaced-apart formations 21 that engage in corresponding side edge recesses 22 of tiles 5. The top hat spacers 10 space the tiles 5 apart from the skin 3 of the panel so that the tiles 5 define with the skin 3 ventilation passageways 30 which can remove moisture.

Description

INTRODUCTION[0001]The invention relates to a composite cladding panel of the type comprising an inner skin and an external skin with insulation foam material therebetween.[0002]Buildings comprising a steel frame on which pre-formed panels are mounted may be erected quickly and more cheaply than buildings with brick or block facades.[0003]One of the problems with buildings constructed from pre-formed panels is that such panels can often be uninteresting aesthetically. It is known to form such panels with various profiles and in various colours, however, there is still a need to provide an aesthetically different facade in some cases. One such system is described in our WO2006 / 064489A.[0004]This invention is directed towards providing an improved panel system of this type.STATEMENTS OF INVENTION[0005]According to the invention there is provided a composite cladding panel comprising an internal skin and an external skin with insulation material therebetween, one of the skins having a p...
