Benefits of technology

[0014]By present invention seeks to address these problems by providing a prefabricated cladding assembly that is pre-formed off-site (such as in a factory) from a cladding panel and its mounting bracket. As the prefabrication takes place in controlled factory conditions the consistency and quality of the bond formed between the cladding panel and its mounting bracket can be more easily achieved.
[0015]The improved accuracy and consistency of the cladding assembly's construction means that less on-site adjustments are required to align adjacent cladding panels, thus ensuring a high quality finish using the thinner, lighter cladding panels.

Problems solved by technology

The on-site fabrication of cladding systems using bonding rather than screw fixing presents a number of problems due to the strict limitations in terms of temperature and humidity in which the adhesive is effective and other environmental conditions that are found on a construction site.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]A preferred embodiment of the prefabricated cladding system of the present invention essentially comprises a prefabricated cladding panel 1. The panel 1 is manufactured off-site by using adhesive, possibly in the form of adhesive tape 4, to securely attach a piece of panel 2 to a mounting bracket 3.

[0022]As will be appreciated from the figures the mounting bracket 3, which is preferably formed by the extrusion moulding of a suitable material (such as aluminium) is secured to the back of the panel 2. It is envisaged that a wide range of suitable materials exist for the panel 2 and the actual material used would vary depending upon what finished appearance is required.

[0023]Although the cladding panel 1 shown in FIG. 1 only has a single mounting bracket 3 it is appreciated than multiple brackets might be secured to the back of the larger panel to better support the weight of the panel and any wind loading the panel may be exposed to.

[0024]As will be appreciated from FIG. 2, the ...

Abstract

A prefabricated cladding assembly (1) for mounting to the outside of buildings (10), said system comprising a cladding panel (2) having a mounting bracket (3) bonded thereto.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a cladding system for use in cladding the outside of buildings.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Decorative cladding and other types of fascias are commonly used to provide the outsides (and insides) of buildings with an attractive appearance.[0003]In particular cladding and other types of fascia, which are generally not structural in nature, are used to hide the less attractive materials used for the structural construction of the building or insulation and other materials used in the renovation of existing buildings.[0004]Cladding is typically affixed to the structural skin of a building by way of supporting brackets and / or frames. The cladding provides an outer skin which, in combination with other materials, provides the building with a weather resistant system and a more pleasing aesthetic appearance.[0005]At present the brackets, frames and cladding / fascia panels are normally delivered to a construction / building site ...
