Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a profile system for attaching facade cladding to facades, more particularly insulated and / or ventilated facades. The invention also relates to a kit and a method for attaching facade cladding to insulated and / or ventilated facades.PRIOR ART

[0002] Facade panels have been used for a very long time to clad facades. Traditionally, wooden slats are used for this purpose. The wooden slats form a support structure on the facades to which the facade panels are attached. In recent years, the insulation standards for buildings have tightened significantly. Typically, insulation boards or (soft) rock wool are now placed against a facade as an insulation layer. This means that the wooden slats can no longer be placed on the facade itself, but must be applied parallel to the insulation layer, taking into account a ventilation gap between the insulation layer and the wooden slats. The insulation layer does not have sufficient load-bearing capacity to support the wooden slats and the facade cladding. This is an additional difficulty. Additionally, after a number of incidents, the fire regulations have also been greatly tightened, making it no longer permissible to use wooden slats and rigid insulation boards made of PUR or PIR.

[0003] A known alternative is the use of aluminum profiles. First, L-shaped brackets are placed on the facade. The L-shaped brackets extend through the insulation boards. This is always an interruption of the insulation envelope, which is detrimental to the effective insulation of the facade. To avoid thermal bridges, plastic spacers are placed between the L-shaped brackets and the facade. Placing these plastic spacers is labor-intensive. Alternatively, the L-shaped brackets with pressure plates are placed on the rigid insulation boards, which will no longer be possible in the future due to the disappearance of this type of insulation. T-shaped profiles are attached to the L-shaped brackets. The facade cladding is attached to the lying leg of the T-shaped profiles. This known solution requires several steps and offers little flexibility in terms of the desired facade cladding.

[0004] An example of a facade cladding system that uses L-shaped brackets and aluminum profiles is described in EP2309072.

[0005] The facade cladding system from WO2019 / 168412 (WO '412) uses a plurality of different extrusion profiles for mounting facade panels to a facade. The facade cladding system is intended to be mounted directly onto a wall, and not onto insulation material.

[0006] Another known solution is described in NL2010093 (NL '093). NL '093 describes a wall covering that is attached to a wall using a support beam and mounting screws. The support beam comprises a guide element for guiding a mounting screw into the wall at an angle. The solution from NL '093 has the disadvantage that the wall covering can only be attached to standing support beams. Therefore, this solution is not flexible and cannot be adapted according to a desired effect.

[0007] The present invention aims to at least find a solution to some of the above-mentioned problems or disadvantages.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a profile system according to claim 1.

[0009] The profile system is advantageous because it uses extruded profiles instead of wooden slats. This means that the profile system meets the requirements for fire safety. It is also advantageous that the lying profiles and the standing profiles of the profile system are attached to each other, resulting in a sturdy support structure for attaching facade cladding. Particularly advantageous with an insulated facade is that the profile system is screwed into the underlying wall of the insulated facade with mounting screws through the insulation material. This way, the profile system is placed in front of and parallel to the insulation material, and there is no interruption of an insulation envelope around a building through the use of, for example, L-shaped brackets. This is possible because the standing and the lying profiles comprise at least one mounting screw chamber. In this way, the weight of the profile system and the attached facade cladding is directly transferred to the mounting screws and to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. An additional advantage of installing the profile system in front of and parallel to the insulation material for an insulated facade is that fewer steps are required to clad the facade, as it is not necessary to install plastic spacers to avoid thermal bridges. Also advantageous is that, depending on the desired facade cladding, standing profiles can be attached to lying profiles or lying profiles to standing profiles, and the facade cladding can be attached respectively to the standing profiles or to the lying profiles. The profile system provides the necessary flexibility for this.

[0010] Preferred embodiments of the profile system are shown in claims 2-9.

[0011] A specific preferred embodiment concerns a profile system according to claim 2.

[0012] An angle of at least 15° and at most 45° in an upward direction ensures the optimal attachment of the profile system to an insulated and / or ventilated facade, thereby minimizing the risk of the profile system and thus the facade cladding coming loose.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a method according to claim 10.

[0014] This method has among other things the advantage that the standing and the lying profiles form a robust profile system which can be placed in a ventilated facade, in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of the ventilated facade, and in an insulated facade, in front of and parallel to the insulation material of the insulated facade and can be screwed to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. This is particularly advantageous for an insulated facade because it is therefore not necessary to interrupt the insulation material each time to place L-shaped brackets, which would interrupt the insulation envelope. It is equally unnecessary to use plastic spacers to avoid cold bridges. This means that the method requires fewer steps and that facade cladding can be attached to an insulated facade more quickly. Additionally advantageous is that extruded profiles are used, resulting in the method providing a fire-safe attachment of the facade cladding. Also advantageous, the method allows facade cladding to be attached to the standing profiles or lying profiles depending on a desired facade cladding, which provides great flexibility.

[0015] Preferred embodiments of the method are described in the dependent claims 11-14.

[0016] In a third aspect, the present invention relates to a kit according to claim 15.

[0017] The kit is advantageous for forming a profile system that can be placed in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of the ventilated facade in the case of a ventilated facade and in front of and parallel to the insulation material of the insulated facade in the case of an insulated facade and can be screwed to the underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. This is particularly advantageous with an insulated facade because it is not necessary to interrupt the insulation material each time for placing L-shaped brackets. This allows the profile system to be installed more quickly and the facade cladding to be attached to the insulated and / or ventilated facade more quickly. This also results in an uninterrupted insulation envelope. It is also advantageous that the kit does not use wooden slats, but extruded profiles, which means that facade cladding can be attached to an insulated and / or ventilated facade in a fire-safe manner. The kit also allows a flexible construction of the profile system depending on a desired facade cladding.DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used in the description of the invention, including technical and scientific terms, have the meaning generally understood by those skilled in the technical field of the invention. For a better understanding of the description of the invention, the following terms are explained explicitly.

[0020] In this document, "a" and "the" refer to both the singular and the plural, unless the context presupposes otherwise. For example, "a segment" means one or more segments.

[0021] The terms "comprise," "comprising," "consist of," "consisting of," "provided with," "include," "including," "contain," "containing," are synonyms and are inclusive or open terms that indicate the presence of what follows, and which do not exclude or prevent the presence of other components, characteristics, elements, members, steps, as known from or disclosed in the prior art.

[0022] Quoting numeric intervals by the endpoints includes all integers, fractions, and / or real numbers between the endpoints, including those endpoints.

[0023] In the context of this document, a chamber is a space in an extruded profile. The extruded profile extends in a longitudinal direction. The chamber is not necessarily closed at an end of the extruded profile. The chamber is bounded by side walls. The side walls extend in a longitudinal direction. The chamber is an open chamber if a side wall is partially interrupted, for example by an opening for receiving a push-in rivet through the opening in the chamber. The chamber is a closed chamber if all side walls in a transverse section of the extruded profile form a closed perimeter. A transverse section is in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

[0024] In the context of this document, a half-space is a subset of a three-dimensional space, wherein all points of the subset are located on the same side of a plane that bounds the half-space. The half-space is a closed half-space if the points in the said plane likewise belong to the half-space.

[0025] In the context of this document, a perpendicular bisector plane is a plane that stands perpendicular to a surface and wherein the perpendicular bisector plane cuts said surface into two equal halves.

[0026] In the context of this document, a ventilated facade is a facade with a free space between an underlying wall of the ventilated facade and facade cladding that is attached to the underlying wall. This provides ventilation between the facade cladding and the underlying wall, allowing it to dry. In an insulated and ventilated facade, the mentioned free space is between insulation material on the underlying wall and the facade cladding, so that the insulation material can dry.

[0027] In the context of this document, "standing profile" means a profile that extends in a longitudinal direction, wherein the longitudinal direction of the standing profile forms an angle of at most 10° with a vertical line, preferably at most 8°, more preferably at most 6°, even more preferably at most 4°, and most preferably at most 2°.

[0028] In the context of this document, a "lying profile" means a profile that extends in a longitudinal direction and where the longitudinal direction of the lying profile makes an angle of at most 10° with a horizontal line, preferably at most 8°, more preferably at most 6°, even more preferably at most 4°, and even more preferably at most 2°.

[0029] In a first aspect, the invention relates to a profile system for attaching facade cladding to insulated and / or ventilated facades.

[0030] The profile system comprises standing profiles. The standing profiles are extruded profiles. The standing profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. A non-limiting example is an aluminum 6060 alloy. Alternatively, the standing profiles are profiles made of flame-retardant plastic. The standing profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The standing profiles comprise a mounting surface for attaching facade cladding. The mounting surface is suitable for gluing and / or screwing and / or nailing facade cladding to the mounting surface. Non-limiting examples of facade cladding are metal wall panels, corrugated sheets, wooden planks and boards, plastic planks and boards, slates, etc. Preferably, all standing profiles have an equal cross-section. The cross-section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the standing profile.

[0031] According to a preferred embodiment, the profile system comprises lying profiles. The lying profiles are extruded profiles. The lying profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. A non-limiting example is an aluminum 6060 alloy. Alternatively, the lying profiles are profiles made of flame-retardant plastic. The lying profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The lying profiles comprise a mounting surface for the attachment of facade cladding. The mounting surface is suitable for gluing and / or screwing and / or nailing facade cladding to the mounting surface. The facade cladding is as previously described. Preferably, all lying profiles have an equal cross-section. The cross-section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the lying profile.

[0032] The standing profiles and the lying profiles of the profile system are attached to each other. The standing profiles and the lying profiles together form a support structure. The standing profiles and the lying profiles are glued, screwed, riveted, or attached to each other in another suitable manner. Preferably, the standing profiles and the lying profiles are screwed together using self-drilling metal screws.

[0033] The standing profiles and the lying profiles comprise at least one mounting screw chamber for receiving a mounting screw. A mounting screw is a screw suitable for attaching standing profiles and lying profiles to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade. In the case of an insulated facade, the screw is suitable for attaching the standing profiles and the lying profiles through insulation material such as, for example, insulation boards, to the underlying wall of the insulated facade. The mounting screw is in that case consequently long enough to penetrate both through the insulation material and into the underlying wall of the insulated facade. The mounting screw preferably comprises a plug for securing the mounting screw in the said wall.

[0034] The at least one mounting screw chamber of a standing profile lies in a first half-space. The first half-space of the mentioned standing profile is bounded by the mounting surface of the standing profile. It will be apparent that this means that the first half-space of the standing profile is bounded by a plane parallel to the mounting surface of the standing profile, with the mounting surface of the standing profile lying in the aforementioned plane. The first half-space of the standing profile is a closed half-space. The at least one mounting screw chamber is preferably a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a sturdy structure and limited deformation of the standing profile. This is likewise advantageous for a firm anchoring of the standing profile in the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade with the help of the mounting screws.

[0035] The at least one mounting screw chamber of a lying profile lies in a first half-space. The first half-space of the mentioned lying profile is bounded by the mounting surface of the lying profile. It will be apparent that this means that the first half-space of the lying profile is bounded by a plane parallel to the mounting surface of the lying profile, with the mounting surface of the lying profile lying in the aforementioned plane. The first half-space of the lying profile is a closed half-space. The at least one mounting screw chamber is preferably a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a sturdy structure and limited deformation of the lying profile. This is likewise advantageous for a firm anchoring of the lying profile in the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade with the help of the mounting screws.

[0036] The profile system is placed in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade. "Underlying wall" means a wall that is located behind the facade cladding. An insulated facade comprises insulation material that is placed against the underlying wall. In the case of an insulated facade, the profile system is preferably placed at a distance from the insulation material, so that there is a ventilation gap behind the facade cladding and so that the facade is also a ventilated facade. The standing profiles are placed closest to the underlying wall. Alternatively, the lying profiles are placed closest to the underlying wall. The profile system is screwed to an underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade using mounting screws. In an insulated facade, the mounting screws are screwed through the insulation material into the underlying wall of the insulated facade. Only the standing profiles, or only the lying profiles, or both the standing profiles and the lying profiles are screwed to the underlying wall. Preferably, both the standing profiles and the lying profiles are screwed to the underlying wall.

[0037] The profile system is advantageous because it uses extruded profiles instead of wooden slats. This means that the profile system meets the requirements for fire safety. It is also advantageous that the lying profiles and the standing profiles of the profile system are attached to each other, resulting in a sturdy support structure for attaching facade cladding. Particularly advantageous with an insulated facade is that the profile system is screwed into the underlying wall of the insulated facade with mounting screws through the insulation material. This way, the profile system is placed in front of and parallel to the insulation material, and there is no interruption of an insulation envelope around a building through the use of, for example, L-shaped brackets. This is possible because the standing and the lying profiles comprise at least one mounting screw chamber. In this way, the weight of the profile system and the attached facade cladding is directly transferred to the mounting screws and to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. An additional advantage of installing the profile system in front of and parallel to the insulation material for an insulated facade is that fewer steps are required to clad the facade, as it is not necessary to install plastic spacers to avoid thermal bridges. Also advantageous is that, depending on the desired facade cladding, standing profiles can be attached to lying profiles or lying profiles to standing profiles, and the facade cladding can be attached respectively to the standing profiles or to the lying profiles. The profile system provides the necessary flexibility for this.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment, at least a part of the mounting screws are screwed transversely into the underlying wall, and at least a part of the mounting screws are screwed at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction into the underlying wall.

[0039] The mentioned angle is preferably at least 18°, more preferably at least 21°, even more preferably at least 24°, and even more preferably at least 27°.

[0040] The mentioned angle is preferably at most 42°, more preferably at most 39°, even more preferably at most 36°, and even more preferably at most 33°.

[0041] Preferably, in the case of lying profiles, there is a distance of at least 30 cm and at most 70 cm between a mounting screw that is screwed transversely into the underlying wall and a mounting screw that is screwed into the underlying wall at the angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in the upward direction. Preferably, the distance is at least 35 cm, more preferably at least 40 cm, and even more preferably at least 45 cm. Preferably, the distance is at most 65 cm, more preferably at most 60 cm, and even more preferably at most 55 cm.

[0042] Preferably, in the case of standing profiles, there is a distance of at least 30 cm and at most 70 cm between a mounting screw that is screwed transversely into the underlying wall and a mounting screw that is screwed into the underlying wall at the angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in the upward direction. Preferably, the distance is at least 35 cm, more preferably at least 40 cm, and even more preferably at least 45 cm. Preferably, the distance is at most 65 cm, more preferably at most 60 cm, and even more preferably at most 55 cm.

[0043] An angle of at least 15° and at most 45° in an upward direction ensures the optimal attachment of the profile system to an insulated and / or ventilated facade, thereby minimizing the risk of the profile system and thus the facade cladding coming loose.

[0044] According to an embodiment, the lying profiles and the standing profiles comprise at least one straight mounting screw chamber. Preferably, the lying profiles and the standing profiles comprise two straight mounting screw chambers. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber of a standing profile and a lying profile is located in the first half-space of the standing profile and the lying profile, respectively. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber is preferably a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a sturdy structure and limited deformation of the standing profile and the lying profile, respectively. This is also advantageous for firmly anchoring the standing profile or the horizontal profile in the insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber comprises a support surface for supporting a screw head of the mounting screw. The support surface is thus the surface against which the screw head rests after the mounting screw is screwed in. The support surface of the at least one straight mounting screw chamber is substantially parallel to the mounting surface of the standing profile or the lying profile, respectively. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber is straight because the support surface is substantially parallel with the mounting surface, causing the at least one straight mounting screw chamber to extend perpendicular to the mounting surface. Preferably, the support surface of the at least one straight mounting screw chamber is at a distance from the mounting surface of the standing profile, respectively the lying profile, for a recessed placement of the mounting screw relative to the mounting surface. This is advantageous because as a result, the screw head of the mounting screw, after screwing down the standing profile, respectively the lying profile, lies fully in the first half-space, so that the mounting screw does not hinder the attaching of facade cladding to the mounting surface.

[0045] The at least one straight mounting screw chamber is advantageous for screwing down the standing profile or the lying profile to the underlying wall with a mounting screw transversely in the underlying wall. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber is likewise suitable for screwing down the standing profile to the underlying wall, whereby a mounting screw is screwed at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction into the underlying wall. In this case, it is indeed necessary to measure the angle at which the mounting screw is screwed into the facade.

[0046] According to a preferred embodiment, the lying profiles comprise at least one angled mounting screw chamber. Preferably, the lying profiles comprise two angled mounting screw chambers. The at least one angled mounting screw chamber of a lying profile is in the first half-space of the lying profile. The at least one angled mounting screw chamber is preferably a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a sturdy structure and limited deformation of the lying profile. This is also advantageous for a firm anchoring of the lying profile in the insulated and / or ventilated facade with the help of the mounting screws. The at least one angled mounting screw chamber comprises a support surface for supporting a screw head of the mounting screw. The support surface is thus the surface against which the screw head rests after the mounting screw is screwed in. An angle between the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber and the mounting surface of the lying profile is at least 15° and at most 45°. The mentioned angle is measured in a transverse section of the lying profile. A transverse section is in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lying profile. It is clear that if the support surface and the mounting surface do not touch each other, the said angle is an angle between two intersecting lines that lie in the extension of the support surface and the mounting surface. The at least one angled mounting screw chamber is angled by the mentioned angle.

[0047] The angle between the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber and the mounting surface of the lying profile is preferably at least 18°, more preferably at least 21°, even more preferably at least 24°, and most preferably at least 27°.

[0048] The angle between the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber and the mounting surface of the lying profile is preferably at most 42°, more preferably at most 39°, even more preferably at most 36°, and even more preferably at most 33°.

[0049] The angle between the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber and the mounting surface is most preferably 30°.

[0050] Preferably, the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber is at a distance from the mounting surface of the lying profile for a recessed placement of the mounting screw relative to the mounting surface. This is advantageous because in this way the screw head of the mounting screw, after screwing down the lying profile, lies completely in the first half-space, so that the mounting screw does not hinder attaching facade cladding to the mounting surface.

[0051] The angled mounting screw chamber ensures that the mounting screw can be automatically screwed into the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45°. This angle ensures an optimal attachment of the lying profile to the insulated and / or ventilated facade, reducing the risk of detachment of the lying profile and thus the facade cladding. The angle at which the mounting screw is screwed into the facade does not need to be measured, which results in a huge time saving during installation. It also avoids the use of a less optimal angle when screwing down the lying profile.

[0052] According to a preferred embodiment, the standing profiles are placed in front of and parallel to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. It is clear that in the case of an insulated wall, the standing profiles are also placed in front of and parallel to the insulation material. The lying profiles are attached to the standing profiles. The facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface of the lying profiles.

[0053] This embodiment is advantageous to obtain sufficient space between the facade cladding and the underlying wall. This provides sufficient ventilation between the facade cladding and the underlying wall. This embodiment is particularly advantageous with an insulated facade to obtain sufficient space between the facade cladding and the insulation material, thereby providing sufficient ventilation between the facade cladding and the insulation material. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when using elongated facade cladding that is attached in an upright position to an insulated and / or ventilated facade. Because the lying profiles are attached to the standing profiles, the lying profiles can be placed in the standing direction with a certain spacing, while it remains possible to attach the facade cladding to different lying profiles.

[0054] According to an alternative embodiment, the lying profiles are placed in front of and parallel to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. The standing profiles are attached to the lying profiles. The facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface of the standing profiles.

[0055] This embodiment has the same advantage as a previously described embodiment with regard to ventilation between the facade cladding and the underlying wall and / or the insulation material. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when using elongated facade cladding which is fastened in a lying position in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade. Because the standing profiles are attached to the lying profiles, the standing profiles can be placed with a certain spacing in the lying direction, while it remains possible to attach the facade cladding to different standing profiles.

[0056] According to a preferred embodiment, the lying profiles and the standing profiles comprise at least one coupling chamber for placing a coupling piece. Preferably, the lying profiles and the standing profiles comprise two coupling chambers. The at least one coupling chamber comprises ribs for holding the coupling piece. The ribs form at least partially a rectangular outline in a cross-section of the standing profiles and the lying profiles. The transverse section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the lying profiles and the standing profiles, respectively. By at least partially forming a rectangular outline is meant that if the said ribs do not form a closed rectangular outline, when the ribs are extended until they touch each other, the extended ribs form a closed rectangular outline.

[0057] The rectangular outline has a length of at least 15 mm and at most 25 mm. The rectangular outline has a width of at least 3 mm and at most 7 mm.

[0058] Preferably, the rectangular outline has a length of at least 16 mm, more preferably at least 17 mm, even more preferably at least 18 mm, and even more preferably 19 mm.

[0059] Preferably, the rectangular outline has a length of at most 24 mm, more preferably at most 23 mm, even more preferably at most 22 mm, and even more preferably at most 21 mm.

[0060] Preferably, the rectangular outline has a width of at least 4 mm.

[0061] Preferably, the rectangular outline has a width of at most 6 mm, more preferably at most 5 mm.

[0062] The coupling piece comprises, for example, a plastic beam-shaped body, whereby the beam-shaped body comprises ribs for securing the beam-shaped body in the coupling chamber of the standing profiles and in the coupling chamber of the lying profiles. The beam-shaped body comprises a central thickening so that the coupling piece cannot be completely pressed into the coupling chamber.

[0063] Lying profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled to each other using the coupling piece that is placed in the coupling chamber of the profiles lying in each other's extension.

[0064] Standing profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled to each other using the coupling piece that is placed in the coupling chamber of the profiles lying in each other's extension.

[0065] This embodiment is advantageous for the coupling of standing profiles that lie in each other's extension and for the coupling of lying profiles that lie in each other's extension. By incorporating the coupling piece in both the at least one coupling chamber of a first standing profile or a first lying profile and a second standing profile, respectively a second lying profile, the first standing profile, respectively the first lying profile, and the second standing profile, respectively the second lying profile, are coupled together. The coupling of profiles that are in each other's extension is additionally advantageous for the alignment of these profiles and for forming a sturdy support structure. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for the profiles furthest from the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade, for example the lying profiles, because a connection between the first profile and the second profile is not necessarily required at the profile closest to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade, for example a standing profile. This provides more flexibility in forming the profile system.

[0066] According to a preferred embodiment, the profile system comprises a corner profile. The corner profile preferably comprises a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a minimal deformation of the corner profile under load. The closed chamber preferably has a rectangular cross-section, more preferably a square cross-section. The cross section is a transverse cross section as previously described. The corner profile comprises two wings for attachment to lying profiles. The two wings are preferably positioned at a corner of the rectangular cross-section. More preferably, the wings are an extended part of side walls of the closed chamber. Alternatively, the closed chamber has a hollow L-shaped cross-section. In this embodiment, the wings are preferably an extended part of side walls that form an inner corner of the L-shaped cross-section.

[0067] Two lying profiles forming an angle between two insulated and / or ventilated facades are attached to the wings of the corner profile. The wings preferably form an angle of 90° ± 5°. It will be apparent that if the angle between two insulated and / or ventilated facades is more or less than 90°, the angle between the wings is adjusted accordingly.

[0068] This embodiment is advantageous for reinforcing the profile system at the height of the corner between the two insulated and / or ventilated facades. Near the aforementioned corner, there is no underlying wall, but only free space in the case of a non-insulated ventilated facade or free space and insulating material of the insulated facade around the corner in the case of an insulated facade. It is therefore not possible to screw the lying profiles to the underlying wall. In the case of highly insulated facades, this means that a lying profile at the aforementioned corner is not screwed down over a longer length. For example, in a passive construction, the insulating material can easily reach a thickness of 24 cm. By placing the corner profile, it is avoided that the profile system is weak near the mentioned corner.

[0069] This embodiment describes that a standing corner can be reinforced using a corner profile. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the embodiment also applies, mutatis mutandis, to a lying corner. In that case, the corner profile is attached to standing profiles in a lying position with the wings.

[0070] According to a further embodiment, the corner profile comprises a coupling chamber for placing a coupling piece. The coupling chamber is preferably similar to the coupling chamber for the standing profiles and the lying profiles. The coupling piece is preferably the same as the coupling piece for the standing profiles and the lying profiles.

[0071] Corner profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled to each other using the coupling piece that is placed in the coupling chamber of the corner profiles lying in each other's extension.

[0072] This embodiment is advantageous for aligning the corner profiles that lie in each other's extension. An additional advantage is that the profile system is reinforced as a result.

[0073] According to a preferred embodiment, both the lying profiles and the standing profiles are fastened to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade by means of the mounting screws. This is advantageous for a maximal attachment of the profile system to the underlying wall, especially when using heavy facade cladding.

[0074] According to an embodiment, the standing profiles are symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface of the standing profiles. The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the standing profiles. This embodiment simplifies the placement of the standing profiles because no consideration of an orientation of the standing profiles must be taken into account.

[0075] According to an embodiment, the lying profiles are symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface of the lying profiles. The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the lying profiles. This embodiment simplifies the placement of the lying profiles because no orientation of the lying profiles needs to be taken into account. This embodiment is particularly advantageous with a lying profile that comprises two angled mounting screw chambers, because in this way always one angled mounting screw chamber is correctly oriented for the screwing down of mounting screws at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45° with respect to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction in the underlying wall.

[0076] According to an embodiment, the profile system comprises an auxiliary profile. The auxiliary profile preferably comprises a closed chamber. This is advantageous for minimal deformation of the auxiliary profile under load. The closed chamber preferably has a substantially rectangular cross-section. The cross section is a transverse cross section as previously described. The auxiliary profile comprises two wings for attachment to lying or standing profiles. The two wings are preferably an extended part of a rear wall of the closed chamber and extend on both sides of the rear wall. Preferably, each wing comprises a groove. The groove is preferably a V-shaped groove. The groove extends in a longitudinal direction of the basic profile. The groove is advantageous for correctly positioning a drill or screw on the wing when screwing the auxiliary profile to a standing or lying profile. Preferably, a front wall of the closed chamber comprises an auxiliary groove. The auxiliary groove extends in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary profile. The auxiliary groove is centrally positioned in the front wall, seen in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the front wall. The auxiliary groove is beneficial for aligning the auxiliary profile.

[0077] The auxiliary profile is advantageous for reinforcing the profile system at the height of the corner between two insulated and / or ventilated facades with the help of the previously described corner profile. This can be both a standing corner and a lying corner. A standing corner is a corner formed by two standing facades. A lying corner is a corner formed by a standing facade and a lying facade, for example at a balcony or a protrusion in a facade. As previously described, with a standing corner, the lying profiles are screwed to the corner profile. It will be apparent that with a horizontal corner the upright profiles are screwed to a lying corner profile. If the corner profile is not firmly secured by this, with a standing corner, lying auxiliary profiles can be screwed to a standing profile and the corner profile. This is the case, for example, if the standing profiles and the lying profiles are placed in a regular grid and the corner profile does not coincide with lying profiles in the standing corner or the corner profile has a piece that is too long, which cannot be screwed to a lying profile. By using auxiliary profiles, it can be avoided that an otherwise redundant and more expensive lying profile has to be placed on the insulated and / or ventilated facade. In case of a standing corner it will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the auxiliary profile can also be used if only standing profiles are used to attach facade cladding to an insulated and / or ventilated facade. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the aforementioned also applies mutatis mutandis to a lying corner.

[0078] According to a further embodiment, the auxiliary profile comprises a coupling chamber for placing a coupling piece. The coupling chamber is preferably similar to the coupling chamber in the standing profiles, the lying profiles, and the corner profile. The coupling piece is preferably identical to the coupling piece for the standing profiles, the lying profiles and the corner profiles.

[0079] Auxiliary profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled to each other using the coupling piece that is placed in the coupling chamber of the auxiliary profiles lying in each other's extension.

[0080] This embodiment is advantageous for aligning the auxiliary profiles that lie in each other's extension. An additional advantage is that the profile system is reinforced as a result.

[0081] According to an embodiment, the profile system comprises a door or window casing. The door or window casing forms a reveal for a door or window, respectively. The door or window casing is at least on an upper side attached to lying profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is preferably attached at standing side edges to standing profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is preferably fastened at a lower side to lying profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is, for example, directly screwed to the standing, lying or auxiliary profiles, for example, attached to the standing, lying or auxiliary profiles using brackets or attached to the standing, lying or auxiliary profiles in another suitable manner. The door or window casing is a wooden door or window casing, a plastic door or window casing, a metal door or window casing, or is a door or window casing made of another suitable material.

[0082] This embodiment is advantageous for the installation of a door or window casing in a clad insulated and / or ventilated facade. The standing and lying profiles of the profile system preferably form a regular grid. The position of a door or a window does not necessarily correspond to the regular grid. This means that the door or window casing cannot always be attached to a standing or lying profile on all sides. If on one side of the door or window casing no standing or no lying profile is present, by placing one or more auxiliary profiles between two standing profiles and / or one or more auxiliary profiles between lying profiles, on that side a profile can still be provided to which the door or window casing can be attached.

[0083] In a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for attaching facade cladding to insulated and / or ventilated facades.

[0084] The method comprises the steps of: placing standing profiles; attaching facade cladding.

[0085] The standing profiles are extruded profiles. The standing profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. Alternatively, the standing profiles are profiles made of flame-retardant plastic. The standing profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The standing profiles comprise a mounting surface for attaching the facade cladding. Preferably, all standing profiles have an equal cross-section. The cross-section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the standing profile.

[0086] Non-limiting examples of facade cladding are metal wall panels, corrugated sheets, wooden planks and boards, plastic planks and boards, slates, etc.

[0087] According to a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the additional steps of: placing lying profiles; attaching the standing profiles and the lying profiles to each other; the screwing down of a profile system, formed by the standing profiles and the lying profiles, to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade with the help of mounting screws.

[0088] The lying profiles are extruded profiles. The lying profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. Alternatively, the lying profiles are profiles made of flame-retardant plastic. The lying profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The lying profiles comprise a mounting surface for the attachment of the facade cladding. Preferably, all lying profiles have an equal cross-section. The cross-section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the lying profile.

[0089] The standing profiles are placed in front of and parallel to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade, after which the lying profiles are attached to the standing profiles. An insulated facade comprises insulation material that is placed against the underlying wall. In an insulated facade, the standing profiles are preferably placed at a distance from the insulation material, so that there is a ventilation gap behind the facade cladding and so that the facade is also a ventilated facade. Alternatively, the lying profiles are placed in front of and parallel to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade, after which the standing profiles are attached to the lying profiles. In an insulated facade, the lying profiles are preferably placed at a distance from the insulation material, so that there is a ventilation gap behind the facade cladding and so that the facade is also a ventilated facade. It will be apparent that the steps of placing the standing profiles and the lying profiles are accordingly reversed.

[0090] The standing profiles and the lying profiles comprise at least one mounting screw chamber for receiving a mounting screw. A mounting screw is as previously described. The mounting screw is made sufficiently long to penetrate the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. In an insulated facade, the mounting screw is therefore taken sufficiently long to penetrate both the insulation material and the underlying wall.

[0091] Only the standing profiles, or only the lying profiles, or both the standing profiles and the lying profiles are screwed to the underlying wall using the mounting screws. It will be apparent that depending on which profiles are screwed down using the mounting screws, steps of the method can be interchanged or executed as sub-steps. For example, the standing profiles can first be placed and screwed, after which the lying profiles are attached to the standing profiles. For example, the lying profiles can be mounted on the standing profiles, after which the standing profiles and the lying profiles are simultaneously placed and after which the lying profiles are screwed down using the mounting screws. For example, the standing profiles can be placed and fastened with the mounting screws, after which the lying profiles are placed and attached to the standing profiles and after which the lying profiles are fastened with the mounting screws. It will be apparent that other sequences and combinations of steps and sub-steps are also possible.

[0092] The facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface of the standing profiles or to the mounting surface of the lying profiles. The facade cladding is preferably glued and / or screwed and / or nailed onto the mounting surface of the standing profiles or the lying profiles. It will be apparent that the facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface of the profiles that are positioned furthest from the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. Most preferably, the facade cladding is glued down.

[0093] This embodiment has, among other things, the advantage that the standing and the lying profiles form a sturdy profile system that in the case of a ventilated facade can be placed in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of the ventilated facade and in the case of an insulated facade can be placed in front of and parallel to the insulation material of the insulated facade and can be screwed to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. This is particularly advantageous for an insulated facade because it is therefore not necessary to interrupt the insulation material each time to place L-shaped brackets, which would interrupt the insulation envelope. It is equally unnecessary to use plastic spacers to avoid cold bridges. This means that the method requires fewer steps and that facade cladding can be attached to an insulated facade more quickly. Additionally advantageous is that extruded profiles are used, resulting in the method providing a fire-safe attachment of the facade cladding. Also advantageous, the method allows facade cladding to be attached to the standing profiles or lying profiles depending on a desired facade cladding, which provides great flexibility.

[0094] According to a preferred embodiment, at least a part of the mounting screws are screwed transversely into the underlying wall, and at least a part of the mounting screws are screwed at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction into the underlying wall.

[0095] The mentioned angle is preferably at least 18°, more preferably at least 21°, even more preferably at least 24°, and even more preferably at least 27°.

[0096] The mentioned angle is preferably at most 42°, more preferably at most 39°, even more preferably at most 36°, and even more preferably at most 33°.

[0097] An angle of at least 15° and at most 45° in an upward direction ensures the optimal attachment of the profile system to an insulated and / or ventilated facade, thereby minimizing the risk of the profile system and thus the facade cladding coming loose.

[0098] According to a preferred embodiment, lying profiles that lie in each other's extension and standing profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled using a coupling piece. The coupling piece is placed in a coupling chamber, comprised in the standing profiles and the lying profiles. The coupling piece comprises, for example, a plastic beam-shaped body, whereby the beam-shaped body comprises ribs for securing the beam-shaped body in the coupling chamber of the standing profiles and in the coupling chamber of the lying profiles. The beam-shaped body comprises a central thickening so that the coupling piece cannot be completely pressed into the coupling chamber.

[0099] The coupling of profiles that lie in each other's extension is beneficial for the alignment of these profiles and for forming a sturdy support structure of standing profiles and lying profiles. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for the profiles that are placed furthest from the underlying wall, for example the lying profiles, because a connection between lying profiles that are in each other's extension, for example lying profiles, is not necessarily required at the location of a profile that is placed closest to the underlying wall, for example a standing profile. This provides greater flexibility in attaching the facade cladding on the insulated and / or ventilated facade.

[0100] According to a preferred embodiment, a corner profile is placed at a corner formed by two insulated and / or ventilated facades. The corner profile comprises two wings for attachment to lying profiles. Lying profiles on the mentioned corner formed by the two insulated and / or ventilated facades are attached to the corner profile. The wings preferably form an angle of 90° ± 5°. It will be apparent that if the angle between the two insulated and / or ventilated facades is more or less than 90°, the angle between the wings is adjusted accordingly.

[0101] This embodiment describes how a corner profile is placed on a standing corner. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the embodiment also applies, mutatis mutandis, to a lying corner. In that case, the corner profile is attached to standing profiles in a lying position with the wings.

[0102] This embodiment is advantageous for reinforcing the profile system formed by the lying profiles and the standing profiles at the height of the corner between the two insulated and / or ventilated facades. Near the said corner, there is no underlying wall, making it impossible to screw the lying profiles to the underlying wall. By placing the corner profile, it is avoided that the profile system is weak near the mentioned corner.

[0103] According to a further embodiment, corner profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled together using a coupling piece. The coupling piece is placed in a coupling chamber, contained in the corner profiles. The coupling chamber and the coupling piece are preferably similar to the coupling chamber and the coupling piece for the standing profiles and the lying profiles.

[0104] This embodiment is advantageous for aligning the corner profiles that lie in each other's extension. An additional advantage is that the profile system is reinforced as a result.

[0105] According to an embodiment, the method further comprises the additional step of placing a door or window casing. The door or window casing forms a reveal for a door or window, respectively. The door or window casing is at least on an upper side attached to lying profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is preferably attached at standing side edges to standing profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is preferably fastened at a lower side to lying profiles or auxiliary profiles. If at the upper side of the door or window casing no lying profile is present, one or more auxiliary profiles are attached at the upper side of the door or window casing between the standing profiles. Preferably, at the lower side of the door or window casing, one or more auxiliary profiles are fixed between the standing profiles if no lying profile is present at the lower side of the door or window casing. Preferably, one or more auxiliary profiles are attached to a standing side edge of the door or window casing between the lying profiles if no standing profile is present on the mentioned standing side edge of the door or window casing. This ensures that the door or window casing is firmly connected to the profile system.

[0106] According to a further embodiment, auxiliary profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled together using a coupling piece. The coupling piece is placed in a coupling chamber, contained in the auxiliary profiles. The coupling chamber and the coupling piece are preferably similar to the coupling chamber and the coupling piece for the standing profiles, the lying profiles and the corner profiles.

[0107] This embodiment is advantageous for aligning the auxiliary profiles that lie in each other's extension. An additional advantage is that the profile system is reinforced as a result.

[0108] In a third aspect, the invention relates to a kit for attaching facade cladding to insulated and / or ventilated facades.

[0109] The kit comprises extruded profiles. The extruded profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. A non-limiting example is an aluminum 6060 alloy. Alternatively, the extruded profiles are profiles made of fire-retardant plastic. The extruded profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The extruded profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The extruded profiles comprise a mounting surface for the attachment of facade cladding. The mounting surface is suitable for gluing and / or screwing and / or nailing facade cladding to the mounting surface.

[0110] The kit further comprises mounting screws for screwing down the extruded profiles to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade. In the case of an insulated facade, the screw is suitable for attaching the standing profiles and the lying profiles through insulation material such as, for example, insulation boards, to the underlying wall of the insulated facade. The mounting screws are in that case consequently long enough to penetrate both through the insulation material and into the underlying wall of the insulated facade. The mounting screws preferably comprise a plug for securing the mounting screws in the said wall.

[0111] The kit also comprises mounting screws for screwing together the extruded profiles, to form a support structure of lying and standing profiles. The mounting screws are preferably self-drilling metal screws.

[0112] The kit is advantageous for forming a profile system that can be placed in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of the ventilated facade in the case of a ventilated facade and in front of and parallel to the insulation material of the insulated facade in the case of an insulated facade and that can be screwed to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. This is particularly advantageous with an insulated facade because it is not necessary to interrupt the insulation material each time for placing L-shaped brackets. This allows the profile system to be installed more quickly and the facade cladding to be attached to the insulated and / or ventilated facade more quickly. This also results in an uninterrupted insulation envelope. It is also advantageous that the kit does not use wooden slats, but extruded profiles, which means that facade cladding can be attached to an insulated and / or ventilated facade in a fire-safe manner. The kit also allows a flexible construction of the profile system depending on a desired facade cladding.

[0113] According to a further embodiment, the kit comprises at least one corner profile. The corner profile is an extruded profile. The at least one corner profile comprises two wings for fastening the extruded profiles. The at least one corner profile is advantageous for reinforcing a profile system formed with the extruded profiles, by attaching lying profiles on a corner formed by two insulated and / or ventilated facades.

[0114] A person skilled in the art will appreciate that a method according to the second aspect is preferably carried out to form a profile system according to the first aspect, that a method according to the second aspect is preferably carried out with a kit according to the third aspect, that a profile system according to the first aspect is preferably formed by carrying out a method according to the second aspect and that a profile system according to the first aspect is preferably formed with the aid of a kit according to the third aspect. Each feature described in this document, above as well as below, can therefore relate to any of the three aspects of the present invention.

[0115] In what follows, the invention is described using non-limiting figures that illustrate the invention, and which are not intended to and should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the invention.DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0116] Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a standing profile according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0117] The standing profile (2) is an extruded aluminum profile. The standing profile (2) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 1. The standing profile (2) comprises a mounting surface (5) for attaching facade cladding. The mounting surface (5) is part of a closed chamber. In the closed chamber, on two opposite sides, there is an open coupling chamber (7). The coupling chamber (7) comprises ribs (8) for holding a coupling piece (15). The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 1. The ribs (8) and side walls of the closed chamber partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. When extending the ribs (8), a closed rectangular outline would be formed. Seen in a transverse direction, at each end of the standing profile (2) lies a straight mounting screw chamber (6). The transverse direction is transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the mounting surface (5). The two straight mounting screw chambers (6) lie in a first half-space that is bounded by the mounting surface (5) of the standing profile (2). The two straight mounting screw chambers (6) are closed chambers. The two straight mounting screw chambers (6) comprise a support surface (10) for supporting a screw head of a mounting screw (13). No mounting screws are shown in Figure 1. The support surface (10) is substantially parallel to the mounting surface (5). The support surface (10) is spaced from the mounting surface (5) for recessed placement of the mounting screws (13). The standing profile (2) is symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface (5). The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel with the longitudinal direction of the standing profile (2).

[0118] Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a lying profile according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0119] The lying profile (3) is likewise an extruded aluminum profile. The lying profile (3) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 2. The lying profile (3) comprises a mounting surface (5) for attaching facade cladding. The mounting surface (5) is part of a closed chamber with a trapezoidal cross-section. Each slanted side of the trapezoidal cross-section is shared with an adjacent angled mounting screw chamber (9). The two angled mounting screw chambers (9) lie in a first half-space that is bounded by the mounting surface (5) of the lying profile (3). The two angled mounting screw chambers (9) comprise a support surface (11) for supporting a screw head of a mounting screw (13). No mounting screws are shown in Figure 2. In this embodiment, an angle between the support surface (11) and the mounting surface (5) of the lying profile (3) is 30°. The support surface (11) is spaced from the mounting surface (5) for recessed placement of the mounting screws (13). Seen in a transverse direction, at each end of the lying profile (3) is a straight mounting screw chamber (6). The transverse direction is transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the mounting surface (5). The two straight mounting screw chambers (6) are located in the first half-space bounded by the mounting surface (5). The two straight mounting screw chambers (6) are closed chambers. The two straight mounting screw chambers (6) comprise a support surface (10) for supporting a screw head of a mounting screw (13). The support surface (10) is substantially parallel to the mounting surface (5). The support surface (10) is spaced from the mounting surface (5) for recessed placement of the mounting screws (13). Between a straight mounting screw chamber (6) and an angled mounting screw chamber (10) lies a closed coupling chamber (7). The coupling chamber (7) comprises a rib (8) for holding a coupling piece (15). The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 2. The rib (8) and side walls of the coupling chamber (7) partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. When extending the rib (8), a closed rectangular outline would be formed. The lying profile (3) is symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface (5). The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel with the longitudinal direction of the lying profile (3).

[0120] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a lying profile according to Figure 2 mounted on a standing profile according to Figure 1.

[0121] The profile system (1) comprises a standing profile (2) placed in front of and parallel to insulation material of an insulated facade. The insulation material is placed on an underlying wall of the insulated facade. The standing profile (2) is consequently also positioned in front and parallel to the underlying wall. The insulation material is not shown in Figure 3. The standing profile (2) is screwed into an underlying wall of the insulated facade through the insulating material with a mounting screw (13). The underlying wall is not shown in Figure 3. The mounting screw (13) is received in a right-hand straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the standing profile (2). The screw head of the mounting screw (13) rests against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the standing profile (2). The mounting screw (13) in the standing profile (2) is screwed into the underlying wall at an angle of 30° relative to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction. This is more clearly visible in Figure 4. This angle is measured before the screwing down of the mounting screw (13). The standing profile (2) is additionally screwed with a mounting screw (13) in the right-hand straight mounting screw chamber and with a mounting screw (13) in the left-hand straight mounting screw chamber through the insulation material into the underlying wall of the insulated facade. These two mounting screws (13) are screwed transversely into the underlying wall. On the standing profile (2), a lying profile (3) is placed. The lying profile (3) is screwed onto the mounting surface (5) of the standing profile (2) using four mounting screws (14). Additionally, the lying profile (3) is screwed to the underlying wall with a mounting screw (13) through the insulation material and transversely into the underlying wall. This is the mounting screw (13) left of the standing profile (2). The mounting screw (13) is received in an upper straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the lying profile (3). The screw head of the mounting screw (13) rests against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the lying profile (3). Additionally, the lying profile (3) is screwed to the underlying wall with a mounting screw (13) through the insulation material and at an angle of 30° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction. This is the mounting screw (13) to the right of the standing profile (2). The mounting screw (13) is received in an upper angled mounting screw chamber (9) of the lying profile (3). The screw head of the mounting screw (13) rests against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the lying profile (3). Hereby, the mounting screw (13) is automatically screwed into the underlying wall at an angle of 30° with respect to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction. This does not need to be measured. Finally, Figure 3 also shows how coupling pieces (15) are placed in the coupling chambers (7). The coupling pieces (15) comprise a beam-shaped body. The beam-shaped body comprises ribs for securing the beam-shaped body in the coupling chamber. The beam-shaped body comprises a central thickening so that the coupling piece (15) cannot be completely pressed into the coupling chamber (7). It will be apparent that by placing a second standing profile (2) above the standing profile (2) in Figure 3, with the coupling pieces (15) also being placed in the coupling chambers (7) of the second standing profile (2), the two standing profiles (2) would be coupled to each other. In this embodiment, the facade cladding can be attached to the mounting surface (5) of the lying profile (3).

[0122] Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a lying profile according to Figure 2 mounted on a standing profile according to Figure 1.

[0123] The cross-sectional view is made at the level of line AA in Figure 3. One of the mounting screws (13) is screwed in the standing profile (2) at an angle of 30° to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction to the underlying wall. The underlying wall is not shown in Figure 4, but the mounting surfaces (5) of both the standing profile (2) and the lying profile (3) are parallel to the underlying wall. The perpendicular to the underlying wall is therefore also a perpendicular to the mounting surfaces (5).

[0124] Figure 5 shows a perspective view of a standing profile according to Figure 1 mounted on a lying profile according to Figure 2.

[0125] The profile system (1) comprises a lying profile (3) that is placed in front of and parallel to insulation material of an insulated facade. The insulation material is placed on an underlying wall of the insulated facade. The lying profile (3) is consequently also placed in front and parallel to the underlying wall. The insulation material is not shown in Figure 5. The lying profile (3) is fastened with three mounting screws (13) through the insulation material into an underlying wall of the insulated facade. The underlying wall is not shown in Figure 5. One mounting screw (13) is received in a lower straight mounting screw chamber (6), one mounting screw (13) is received in an upper straight mounting screw chamber (6), and one mounting screw (13) is received in an upper angled mounting screw chamber (9) of the lying profile (3). The screw heads of two of the mounting screws (13) rest against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chambers (6) of the lying profile (3), and the screw head of the third mounting screw (13) rests against the support surface (11) of the angled mounting screw chamber (9). The mounting screws (13) in the straight mounting screw chambers (6) of the lying profile (3) are screwed transversely into the underlying wall and the mounting screw (13) in the angled mounting screw chamber (9) is screwed at an angle of 30° relative to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction into the underlying wall. This is clearly visible in Figure 6. The standing profile (3) is placed on the lying profile (2). The standing profile (2) is screwed onto the lying profile (3) using four mounting screws (14). Additionally, the standing profile (2) is fastened with a mounting screw (13) through the insulation material and at an angle of 30° with respect to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction to the underlying wall. This is more clearly visible in Figure 6. This angle is measured before the screwing down of the mounting screw (13). The mounting screw (13) is received in a right-hand straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the standing profile (2). In addition, the standing profile (2) is also screwed transversely into the underlying wall with two mounting screws (13). The screw heads of the mounting screws (13) rest against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chambers (6) of the standing profile (2). In Figure 5, it is also visible how coupling pieces (15) are placed in the coupling chambers (7) of the standing profile (2) and in an upper coupling chamber (7) and in a lower coupling chamber (7) of the lying profile (3). In this embodiment, the facade cladding can be attached to the mounting surface (5) of the standing profile (2).

[0126] Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view of a standing profile according to Figure 1 mounted on a lying profile according to Figure 2.

[0127] The sectional view is made at the level of line BB in Figure 5. The mounting screw (13) at the top and front of Figure 6 is screwed into the standing profile (2) at an angle of 30° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction to the underlying wall. The underlying wall is not shown in Figure 6, but the mounting surfaces (5) of both the standing profile (2) and the lying profile (3) are parallel to the underlying wall. The perpendicular to the underlying wall is therefore also a perpendicular to the mounting surfaces (5).

[0128] Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a corner profile according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0129] The corner profile (4) is an extruded aluminum profile. The corner profile (4) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 7. The corner profile (4) comprises a closed coupling chamber (7). The coupling chamber (7) comprises ribs (8) for holding a coupling piece (15). The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 7. The ribs (8) in the closed coupling chamber (7) partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. When extending the ribs (8), a closed rectangular outline would be formed. In this embodiment, a portion of the partial rectangular outline is two ends of two ribs, each placed at an angle on a different side wall of the closed coupling chamber. When connecting these two points, a long side of the closed rectangular outline is formed. The other long side of the closed rectangular outline is formed by extending two L-shaped ribs that are placed at an angle on the same two side walls of the closed coupling chamber. The coupling chamber (7) has a hollow L-shaped cross-section. The corner profile (4) comprises two wings (12) for attaching lying profiles (3) to the corner profile (4). The wings (12) lie in the extension of side walls of the coupling chamber (7) that form an internal corner of the L-shaped cross-section. The wings (12) form an angle of 90°.

[0130] Figure 8 shows a perspective view of the attachment of lying profiles according to Figure 2 to a corner profile according to Figure 7.

[0131] The lying profiles (3) are attached to the corner profile (4) at the same height. The lying profiles (3) are placed against the wings (12) and up to the coupling chamber (7). The lying profiles (3) are screwed to the wings (12) using mounting screws (14).

[0132] A coupling piece (15) is placed in the coupling chamber (7) of the corner profile (7). The coupling piece (15) is identical to the coupling pieces (15) for the standing profiles (2) and the lying profiles (3).

[0133] Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view of an auxiliary profile according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0134] The auxiliary profile (16) is an extruded aluminum profile. The auxiliary profile (16) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 9. The auxiliary profile (16) comprises a closed coupling chamber (7). The coupling chamber (7) comprises ribs (8) for holding a coupling piece (15). The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 9. The ribs (8) in the closed coupling chamber (7) partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. When extending the ribs (8), a closed rectangular outline would be formed. The closed coupling chamber (7) lies in a substantially rectangular closed chamber (17). The substantially rectangular closed chamber (17) is divided into three parts by the closed coupling chamber (7). The auxiliary profile (16) comprises two wings (12) for attaching lying profiles (3) or standing profiles (2) to the auxiliary profile (16). The wings (12) are aligned with a rear wall of the closed chamber (17) of the auxiliary profile (16). The wings (12) comprise a V-shaped groove (18) for positioning a drill or screw on the wings (12) during the screwing down of the auxiliary profile (16) to a standing profile (2) or lying profile (3). The V-shaped groove (18) extends in the longitudinal direction. A front wall of the closed chamber (17) comprises an additional V-shaped groove (19). The additional V-shaped groove (19) extends in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary profile (16). The additional V-shaped groove (19) is centrally positioned in the front wall, seen in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the front wall. The additional V-shaped groove (19) is advantageous for aligning the auxiliary profile (16).

[0135] Figure 10 shows a perspective view of an attachment of a window casing using auxiliary profiles according to Figure 9.

[0136] The profile system (1) comprises lying profiles (3) which are placed in front of and parallel to insulation material of an insulated facade. Standing profiles (3) are placed on the lying profiles (2). The lying profiles (3) are as described for Figure 5 attached to the insulated and / or ventilated facade and the lying profiles (3) and the standing profiles (2) are also as described in Figure 5 attached to each other. The lying profiles (3) and the standing profiles (2) form a regular grid. The grid of standing profiles (2) and lying profiles (3) is locally interrupted for the placement of a window casing (20). The window casing (20) is in this case an aluminum window casing (20) which is attached to standing side edges (21) using brackets (22). At an upper side (23) of the window casing (20), there is no lying profile (3) present. At the upper side (23), auxiliary profiles (16) are placed between the standing profiles (2). The wings (12) of the auxiliary profiles (16) are screwed to the wings (12) of the standing profiles (2). The upper side (23) of the window casing (20) is attached to the auxiliary profiles (16) using brackets (22). It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that, depending on the presence of standing profiles (2) on standing side edges (21) or the presence of lying profiles (3) on the upper side (23) or a lower side (24) of the window casing (20), auxiliary profiles (16) are placed or not on these side edges (21), on the upper side (23) and / or on the lower side (24). It will be apparent that this description is mutatis mutandis applicable to a profile system (1) according to Figure 3. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the auxiliary profile (16) is also usable for attaching the window casing (20) if only standing profiles (2) or lying profiles (3) are used to attach facade cladding to an insulated and / or ventilated facade. Figure 12 shows, for example, how the window casing (20) is attached to auxiliary profiles (16) and lying profiles (3), if only lying profiles (3) are used for attaching the facade cladding to the insulated and / or ventilated facade.

[0137] Figure 11 show a cross-sectional view of a standing profile according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention.

[0138] The standing profile (2) is an extruded aluminum profile. The standing profile (2) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 11. The standing profile (2) is similar to the standing profile (2) from Figure 1. There are a number of differences. First of all, the mounting surface (5) has been made wider. This allows for attaching facade cladding to the mounting surface (5) that requires more material between an edge of the facade cladding and an attachment means, such as a screw, with which the facade cladding is attached to the standing profile (2), than is possible with a standing profile (2) as in Figure 1. The mounting surface (5) is, just like in Figure 1, part of a closed chamber. The standing profile comprises a coupling chamber (7) on two opposite sides, which in this embodiment is closed. The closed coupling chambers (7) have been brought outside the aforementioned closed chamber compared to Figure 1. Side walls of the closed coupling chambers (7) partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 11. Between the closed coupling chambers (7) and the said closed chamber, seen in a width direction, there is a straight mounting screw chamber (2) at each end of the standing profile (6). The transverse direction is transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the mounting surface (5). By placing the closed coupling chambers (7) outside the said closed chamber and because the straight mounting screw chambers (6) lie between the closed coupling chambers (7) and the said closed chamber, fastening means with which the facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface (5) cannot interfere with coupling pieces (15). The two straight mounting screw chambers (6) are as described for Figure 1. The standing profile (2) is symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface (5). The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel with the longitudinal direction of the standing profile (2).

[0139] Figure 12 shows a perspective view of an alternative attachment of a window casing using auxiliary profiles according to Figure 9.

[0140] In this embodiment, only lying profiles (3) are used for attaching the facade cladding to the insulated and / or ventilated facade. It will be apparent that by placing standing profiles (2) behind the lying profiles (3) a profile system (1) according to Figure 3 can be obtained.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a profile system for attaching facade cladding to facades, more particularly insulated and / or ventilated facades. The invention also relates to a kit and a method for attaching facade cladding to insulated and / or ventilated facades.PRIOR ART

[0002] Facade panels have been used for a very long time to clad facades. Traditionally, wooden slats are used for this purpose. The wooden slats form a support structure on the facades to which the facade panels are attached. In recent years, the insulation standards for buildings have tightened significantly. Typically, insulation boards or (soft) rock wool are now placed against a facade as an insulation layer. This means that the wooden slats can no longer be placed on the facade itself, but must be applied parallel to the insulation layer, taking into account a ventilation gap between the insulation layer and the wooden slats. The insulation layer does not have sufficient load-bearing capacity to support the wooden slats and the facade cladding. This is an additional difficulty. Additionally, after a number of incidents, the fire regulations have also been greatly tightened, making it no longer permissible to use wooden slats and rigid insulation boards made of PUR or PIR.

[0003] A known alternative is the use of aluminum profiles. First, L-shaped brackets are placed on the facade. The L-shaped brackets extend through the insulation boards. This is always an interruption of the insulation envelope, which is detrimental to the effective insulation of the facade. To avoid thermal bridges, plastic spacers are placed between the L-shaped brackets and the facade. Placing these plastic spacers is labor-intensive. Alternatively, the L-shaped brackets with pressure plates are placed on the rigid insulation boards, which will no longer be possible in the future due to the disappearance of this type of insulation. T-shaped profiles are attached to the L-shaped brackets. The facade cladding is attached to the lying leg of the T-shaped profiles. This known solution requires several steps and offers little flexibility in terms of the desired facade cladding.

[0004] An example of a facade cladding system that uses L-shaped brackets and aluminum profiles is described in EP2309072.

[0005] The facade cladding system from WO2019 / 168412 (WO '412) uses a plurality of different extrusion profiles for mounting facade panels to a facade. The facade cladding system is intended to be mounted directly onto a wall, and not onto insulation material.

[0006] Another known solution is described in NL2010093 (NL '093). NL '093 describes a wall covering that is attached to a wall using a support beam and mounting screws. The support beam comprises a guide element for guiding a mounting screw into the wall at an angle. The solution from NL '093 has the disadvantage that the wall covering can only be attached to standing support beams. Therefore, this solution is not flexible and cannot be adapted according to a desired effect.

[0007] The present invention aims to at least find a solution to some of the above-mentioned problems or disadvantages.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a profile system according to claim 1.

[0009] The profile system is advantageous because it uses extruded profiles instead of wooden slats. This means that the profile system meets the requirements for fire safety. It is also advantageous that the lying profiles and the standing profiles of the profile system are attached to each other, resulting in a sturdy support structure for attaching facade cladding. Particularly advantageous with an insulated facade is that the profile system is screwed into the underlying wall of the insulated facade with mounting screws through the insulation material. This way, the profile system is placed in front of and parallel to the insulation material, and there is no interruption of an insulation envelope around a building through the use of, for example, L-shaped brackets. This is possible because the standing and the lying profiles comprise at least one mounting screw chamber. In this way, the weight of the profile system and the attached facade cladding is directly transferred to the mounting screws and to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. An additional advantage of installing the profile system in front of and parallel to the insulation material for an insulated facade is that fewer steps are required to clad the facade, as it is not necessary to install plastic spacers to avoid thermal bridges. Also advantageous is that, depending on the desired facade cladding, standing profiles can be attached to lying profiles or lying profiles to standing profiles, and the facade cladding can be attached respectively to the standing profiles or to the lying profiles. The profile system provides the necessary flexibility for this.

[0010] Preferred embodiments of the profile system are shown in claims 2-9.

[0011] A specific preferred embodiment concerns a profile system according to claim 2.

[0012] An angle of at least 15° and at most 45° in an upward direction ensures the optimal attachment of the profile system to an insulated and / or ventilated facade, thereby minimizing the risk of the profile system and thus the facade cladding coming loose.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a method according to claim 10.

[0014] This method has among other things the advantage that the standing and the lying profiles form a robust profile system which can be placed in a ventilated facade, in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of the ventilated facade, and in an insulated facade, in front of and parallel to the insulation material of the insulated facade and can be screwed to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. This is particularly advantageous for an insulated facade because it is therefore not necessary to interrupt the insulation material each time to place L-shaped brackets, which would interrupt the insulation envelope. It is equally unnecessary to use plastic spacers to avoid cold bridges. This means that the method requires fewer steps and that facade cladding can be attached to an insulated facade more quickly. Additionally advantageous is that extruded profiles are used, resulting in the method providing a fire-safe attachment of the facade cladding. Also advantageous, the method allows facade cladding to be attached to the standing profiles or lying profiles depending on a desired facade cladding, which provides great flexibility.

[0015] Preferred embodiments of the method are described in the dependent claims 11-14.

[0016] In a third aspect, the present invention relates to a kit according to claim 15.

[0017] The kit is advantageous for forming a profile system that can be placed in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of the ventilated facade in the case of a ventilated facade and in front of and parallel to the insulation material of the insulated facade in the case of an insulated facade and can be screwed to the underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. This is particularly advantageous with an insulated facade because it is not necessary to interrupt the insulation material each time for placing L-shaped brackets. This allows the profile system to be installed more quickly and the facade cladding to be attached to the insulated and / or ventilated facade more quickly. This also results in an uninterrupted insulation envelope. It is also advantageous that the kit does not use wooden slats, but extruded profiles, which means that facade cladding can be attached to an insulated and / or ventilated facade in a fire-safe manner. The kit also allows a flexible construction of the profile system depending on a desired facade cladding.DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used in the description of the invention, including technical and scientific terms, have the meaning generally understood by those skilled in the technical field of the invention. For a better understanding of the description of the invention, the following terms are explained explicitly.

[0020] In this document, "a" and "the" refer to both the singular and the plural, unless the context presupposes otherwise. For example, "a segment" means one or more segments.

[0021] The terms "comprise," "comprising," "consist of," "consisting of," "provided with," "include," "including," "contain," "containing," are synonyms and are inclusive or open terms that indicate the presence of what follows, and which do not exclude or prevent the presence of other components, characteristics, elements, members, steps, as known from or disclosed in the prior art.

[0022] Quoting numeric intervals by the endpoints includes all integers, fractions, and / or real numbers between the endpoints, including those endpoints.

[0023] In the context of this document, a chamber is a space in an extruded profile. The extruded profile extends in a longitudinal direction. The chamber is not necessarily closed at an end of the extruded profile. The chamber is bounded by side walls. The side walls extend in a longitudinal direction. The chamber is an open chamber if a side wall is partially interrupted, for example by an opening for receiving a push-in rivet through the opening in the chamber. The chamber is a closed chamber if all side walls in a transverse section of the extruded profile form a closed perimeter. A transverse section is in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

[0024] In the context of this document, a half-space is a subset of a three-dimensional space, wherein all points of the subset are located on the same side of a plane that bounds the half-space. The half-space is a closed half-space if the points in the said plane likewise belong to the half-space.

[0025] In the context of this document, a perpendicular bisector plane is a plane that stands perpendicular to a surface and wherein the perpendicular bisector plane cuts said surface into two equal halves.

[0026] In the context of this document, a ventilated facade is a facade with a free space between an underlying wall of the ventilated facade and facade cladding that is attached to the underlying wall. This provides ventilation between the facade cladding and the underlying wall, allowing it to dry. In an insulated and ventilated facade, the mentioned free space is between insulation material on the underlying wall and the facade cladding, so that the insulation material can dry.

[0027] In the context of this document, "standing profile" means a profile that extends in a longitudinal direction, wherein the longitudinal direction of the standing profile forms an angle of at most 10° with a vertical line, preferably at most 8°, more preferably at most 6°, even more preferably at most 4°, and most preferably at most 2°.

[0028] In the context of this document, a "lying profile" means a profile that extends in a longitudinal direction and where the longitudinal direction of the lying profile makes an angle of at most 10° with a horizontal line, preferably at most 8°, more preferably at most 6°, even more preferably at most 4°, and even more preferably at most 2°.

[0029] In a first aspect, the invention relates to a profile system for attaching facade cladding to insulated and / or ventilated facades.

[0030] The profile system comprises standing profiles. The standing profiles are extruded profiles. The standing profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. A non-limiting example is an aluminum 6060 alloy. Alternatively, the standing profiles are profiles made of flame-retardant plastic. The standing profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The standing profiles comprise a mounting surface for attaching facade cladding. The mounting surface is suitable for gluing and / or screwing and / or nailing facade cladding to the mounting surface. Non-limiting examples of facade cladding are metal wall panels, corrugated sheets, wooden planks and boards, plastic planks and boards, slates, etc. Preferably, all standing profiles have an equal cross-section. The cross-section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the standing profile.

[0031] According to a preferred embodiment, the profile system comprises lying profiles. The lying profiles are extruded profiles. The lying profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. A non-limiting example is an aluminum 6060 alloy. Alternatively, the lying profiles are profiles made of flame-retardant plastic. The lying profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The lying profiles comprise a mounting surface for the attachment of facade cladding. The mounting surface is suitable for gluing and / or screwing and / or nailing facade cladding to the mounting surface. The facade cladding is as previously described. Preferably, all lying profiles have an equal cross-section. The cross-section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the lying profile.

[0032] The standing profiles and the lying profiles of the profile system are attached to each other. The standing profiles and the lying profiles together form a support structure. The standing profiles and the lying profiles are glued, screwed, riveted, or attached to each other in another suitable manner. Preferably, the standing profiles and the lying profiles are screwed together using self-drilling metal screws.

[0033] The standing profiles and the lying profiles comprise at least one mounting screw chamber for receiving a mounting screw. A mounting screw is a screw suitable for attaching standing profiles and lying profiles to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade. In the case of an insulated facade, the screw is suitable for attaching the standing profiles and the lying profiles through insulation material such as, for example, insulation boards, to the underlying wall of the insulated facade. The mounting screw is in that case consequently long enough to penetrate both through the insulation material and into the underlying wall of the insulated facade. The mounting screw preferably comprises a plug for securing the mounting screw in the said wall.

[0034] The at least one mounting screw chamber of a standing profile lies in a first half-space. The first half-space of the mentioned standing profile is bounded by the mounting surface of the standing profile. It will be apparent that this means that the first half-space of the standing profile is bounded by a plane parallel to the mounting surface of the standing profile, with the mounting surface of the standing profile lying in the aforementioned plane. The first half-space of the standing profile is a closed half-space. The at least one mounting screw chamber is preferably a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a sturdy structure and limited deformation of the standing profile. This is likewise advantageous for a firm anchoring of the standing profile in the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade with the help of the mounting screws.

[0035] The at least one mounting screw chamber of a lying profile lies in a first half-space. The first half-space of the mentioned lying profile is bounded by the mounting surface of the lying profile. It will be apparent that this means that the first half-space of the lying profile is bounded by a plane parallel to the mounting surface of the lying profile, with the mounting surface of the lying profile lying in the aforementioned plane. The first half-space of the lying profile is a closed half-space. The at least one mounting screw chamber is preferably a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a sturdy structure and limited deformation of the lying profile. This is likewise advantageous for a firm anchoring of the lying profile in the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade with the help of the mounting screws.

[0036] The profile system is placed in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade. "Underlying wall" means a wall that is located behind the facade cladding. An insulated facade comprises insulation material that is placed against the underlying wall. In the case of an insulated facade, the profile system is preferably placed at a distance from the insulation material, so that there is a ventilation gap behind the facade cladding and so that the facade is also a ventilated facade. The standing profiles are placed closest to the underlying wall. Alternatively, the lying profiles are placed closest to the underlying wall. The profile system is screwed to an underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade using mounting screws. In an insulated facade, the mounting screws are screwed through the insulation material into the underlying wall of the insulated facade. Only the standing profiles, or only the lying profiles, or both the standing profiles and the lying profiles are screwed to the underlying wall. Preferably, both the standing profiles and the lying profiles are screwed to the underlying wall.

[0037] The profile system is advantageous because it uses extruded profiles instead of wooden slats. This means that the profile system meets the requirements for fire safety. It is also advantageous that the lying profiles and the standing profiles of the profile system are attached to each other, resulting in a sturdy support structure for attaching facade cladding. Particularly advantageous with an insulated facade is that the profile system is screwed into the underlying wall of the insulated facade with mounting screws through the insulation material. This way, the profile system is placed in front of and parallel to the insulation material, and there is no interruption of an insulation envelope around a building through the use of, for example, L-shaped brackets. This is possible because the standing and the lying profiles comprise at least one mounting screw chamber. In this way, the weight of the profile system and the attached facade cladding is directly transferred to the mounting screws and to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. An additional advantage of installing the profile system in front of and parallel to the insulation material for an insulated facade is that fewer steps are required to clad the facade, as it is not necessary to install plastic spacers to avoid thermal bridges. Also advantageous is that, depending on the desired facade cladding, standing profiles can be attached to lying profiles or lying profiles to standing profiles, and the facade cladding can be attached respectively to the standing profiles or to the lying profiles. The profile system provides the necessary flexibility for this.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment, at least a part of the mounting screws are screwed transversely into the underlying wall, and at least a part of the mounting screws are screwed at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction into the underlying wall.

[0039] The mentioned angle is preferably at least 18°, more preferably at least 21°, even more preferably at least 24°, and even more preferably at least 27°.

[0040] The mentioned angle is preferably at most 42°, more preferably at most 39°, even more preferably at most 36°, and even more preferably at most 33°.

[0041] Preferably, in the case of lying profiles, there is a distance of at least 30 cm and at most 70 cm between a mounting screw that is screwed transversely into the underlying wall and a mounting screw that is screwed into the underlying wall at the angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in the upward direction. Preferably, the distance is at least 35 cm, more preferably at least 40 cm, and even more preferably at least 45 cm. Preferably, the distance is at most 65 cm, more preferably at most 60 cm, and even more preferably at most 55 cm.

[0042] Preferably, in the case of standing profiles, there is a distance of at least 30 cm and at most 70 cm between a mounting screw that is screwed transversely into the underlying wall and a mounting screw that is screwed into the underlying wall at the angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in the upward direction. Preferably, the distance is at least 35 cm, more preferably at least 40 cm, and even more preferably at least 45 cm. Preferably, the distance is at most 65 cm, more preferably at most 60 cm, and even more preferably at most 55 cm.

[0043] An angle of at least 15° and at most 45° in an upward direction ensures the optimal attachment of the profile system to an insulated and / or ventilated facade, thereby minimizing the risk of the profile system and thus the facade cladding coming loose.

[0044] According to an embodiment, the lying profiles and the standing profiles comprise at least one straight mounting screw chamber. Preferably, the lying profiles and the standing profiles comprise two straight mounting screw chambers. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber of a standing profile and a lying profile is located in the first half-space of the standing profile and the lying profile, respectively. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber is preferably a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a sturdy structure and limited deformation of the standing profile and the lying profile, respectively. This is also advantageous for firmly anchoring the standing profile or the horizontal profile in the insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber comprises a support surface for supporting a screw head of the mounting screw. The support surface is thus the surface against which the screw head rests after the mounting screw is screwed in. The support surface of the at least one straight mounting screw chamber is substantially parallel to the mounting surface of the standing profile or the lying profile, respectively. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber is straight because the support surface is substantially parallel with the mounting surface, causing the at least one straight mounting screw chamber to extend perpendicular to the mounting surface. Preferably, the support surface of the at least one straight mounting screw chamber is at a distance from the mounting surface of the standing profile, respectively the lying profile, for a recessed placement of the mounting screw relative to the mounting surface. This is advantageous because as a result, the screw head of the mounting screw, after screwing down the standing profile, respectively the lying profile, lies fully in the first half-space, so that the mounting screw does not hinder the attaching of facade cladding to the mounting surface.

[0045] The at least one straight mounting screw chamber is advantageous for screwing down the standing profile or the lying profile to the underlying wall with a mounting screw transversely in the underlying wall. The at least one straight mounting screw chamber is likewise suitable for screwing down the standing profile to the underlying wall, whereby a mounting screw is screwed at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction into the underlying wall. In this case, it is indeed necessary to measure the angle at which the mounting screw is screwed into the facade.

[0046] According to a preferred embodiment, the lying profiles comprise at least one angled mounting screw chamber. Preferably, the lying profiles comprise two angled mounting screw chambers. The at least one angled mounting screw chamber of a lying profile is in the first half-space of the lying profile. The at least one angled mounting screw chamber is preferably a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a sturdy structure and limited deformation of the lying profile. This is also advantageous for a firm anchoring of the lying profile in the insulated and / or ventilated facade with the help of the mounting screws. The at least one angled mounting screw chamber comprises a support surface for supporting a screw head of the mounting screw. The support surface is thus the surface against which the screw head rests after the mounting screw is screwed in. An angle between the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber and the mounting surface of the lying profile is at least 15° and at most 45°. The mentioned angle is measured in a transverse section of the lying profile. A transverse section is in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lying profile. It is clear that if the support surface and the mounting surface do not touch each other, the said angle is an angle between two intersecting lines that lie in the extension of the support surface and the mounting surface. The at least one angled mounting screw chamber is angled by the mentioned angle.

[0047] The angle between the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber and the mounting surface of the lying profile is preferably at least 18°, more preferably at least 21°, even more preferably at least 24°, and most preferably at least 27°.

[0048] The angle between the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber and the mounting surface of the lying profile is preferably at most 42°, more preferably at most 39°, even more preferably at most 36°, and even more preferably at most 33°.

[0049] The angle between the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber and the mounting surface is most preferably 30°.

[0050] Preferably, the support surface of the at least one angled mounting screw chamber is at a distance from the mounting surface of the lying profile for a recessed placement of the mounting screw relative to the mounting surface. This is advantageous because in this way the screw head of the mounting screw, after screwing down the lying profile, lies completely in the first half-space, so that the mounting screw does not hinder attaching facade cladding to the mounting surface.

[0051] The angled mounting screw chamber ensures that the mounting screw can be automatically screwed into the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45°. This angle ensures an optimal attachment of the lying profile to the insulated and / or ventilated facade, reducing the risk of detachment of the lying profile and thus the facade cladding. The angle at which the mounting screw is screwed into the facade does not need to be measured, which results in a huge time saving during installation. It also avoids the use of a less optimal angle when screwing down the lying profile.

[0052] According to a preferred embodiment, the standing profiles are placed in front of and parallel to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. It is clear that in the case of an insulated wall, the standing profiles are also placed in front of and parallel to the insulation material. The lying profiles are attached to the standing profiles. The facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface of the lying profiles.

[0053] This embodiment is advantageous to obtain sufficient space between the facade cladding and the underlying wall. This provides sufficient ventilation between the facade cladding and the underlying wall. This embodiment is particularly advantageous with an insulated facade to obtain sufficient space between the facade cladding and the insulation material, thereby providing sufficient ventilation between the facade cladding and the insulation material. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when using elongated facade cladding that is attached in an upright position to an insulated and / or ventilated facade. Because the lying profiles are attached to the standing profiles, the lying profiles can be placed in the standing direction with a certain spacing, while it remains possible to attach the facade cladding to different lying profiles.

[0054] According to an alternative embodiment, the lying profiles are placed in front of and parallel to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. The standing profiles are attached to the lying profiles. The facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface of the standing profiles.

[0055] This embodiment has the same advantage as a previously described embodiment with regard to ventilation between the facade cladding and the underlying wall and / or the insulation material. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when using elongated facade cladding which is fastened in a lying position in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade. Because the standing profiles are attached to the lying profiles, the standing profiles can be placed with a certain spacing in the lying direction, while it remains possible to attach the facade cladding to different standing profiles.

[0056] According to a preferred embodiment, the lying profiles and the standing profiles comprise at least one coupling chamber for placing a coupling piece. Preferably, the lying profiles and the standing profiles comprise two coupling chambers. The at least one coupling chamber comprises ribs for holding the coupling piece. The ribs form at least partially a rectangular outline in a cross-section of the standing profiles and the lying profiles. The transverse section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the lying profiles and the standing profiles, respectively. By at least partially forming a rectangular outline is meant that if the said ribs do not form a closed rectangular outline, when the ribs are extended until they touch each other, the extended ribs form a closed rectangular outline.

[0057] The rectangular outline has a length of at least 15 mm and at most 25 mm. The rectangular outline has a width of at least 3 mm and at most 7 mm.

[0058] Preferably, the rectangular outline has a length of at least 16 mm, more preferably at least 17 mm, even more preferably at least 18 mm, and even more preferably 19 mm.

[0059] Preferably, the rectangular outline has a length of at most 24 mm, more preferably at most 23 mm, even more preferably at most 22 mm, and even more preferably at most 21 mm.

[0060] Preferably, the rectangular outline has a width of at least 4 mm.

[0061] Preferably, the rectangular outline has a width of at most 6 mm, more preferably at most 5 mm.

[0062] The coupling piece comprises, for example, a plastic beam-shaped body, whereby the beam-shaped body comprises ribs for securing the beam-shaped body in the coupling chamber of the standing profiles and in the coupling chamber of the lying profiles. The beam-shaped body comprises a central thickening so that the coupling piece cannot be completely pressed into the coupling chamber.

[0063] Lying profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled to each other using the coupling piece that is placed in the coupling chamber of the profiles lying in each other's extension.

[0064] Standing profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled to each other using the coupling piece that is placed in the coupling chamber of the profiles lying in each other's extension.

[0065] This embodiment is advantageous for the coupling of standing profiles that lie in each other's extension and for the coupling of lying profiles that lie in each other's extension. By incorporating the coupling piece in both the at least one coupling chamber of a first standing profile or a first lying profile and a second standing profile, respectively a second lying profile, the first standing profile, respectively the first lying profile, and the second standing profile, respectively the second lying profile, are coupled together. The coupling of profiles that are in each other's extension is additionally advantageous for the alignment of these profiles and for forming a sturdy support structure. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for the profiles furthest from the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade, for example the lying profiles, because a connection between the first profile and the second profile is not necessarily required at the profile closest to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade, for example a standing profile. This provides more flexibility in forming the profile system.

[0066] According to a preferred embodiment, the profile system comprises a corner profile. The corner profile preferably comprises a closed chamber. This is advantageous for a minimal deformation of the corner profile under load. The closed chamber preferably has a rectangular cross-section, more preferably a square cross-section. The cross section is a transverse cross section as previously described. The corner profile comprises two wings for attachment to lying profiles. The two wings are preferably positioned at a corner of the rectangular cross-section. More preferably, the wings are an extended part of side walls of the closed chamber. Alternatively, the closed chamber has a hollow L-shaped cross-section. In this embodiment, the wings are preferably an extended part of side walls that form an inner corner of the L-shaped cross-section.

[0067] Two lying profiles forming an angle between two insulated and / or ventilated facades are attached to the wings of the corner profile. The wings preferably form an angle of 90° ± 5°. It will be apparent that if the angle between two insulated and / or ventilated facades is more or less than 90°, the angle between the wings is adjusted accordingly.

[0068] This embodiment is advantageous for reinforcing the profile system at the height of the corner between the two insulated and / or ventilated facades. Near the aforementioned corner, there is no underlying wall, but only free space in the case of a non-insulated ventilated facade or free space and insulating material of the insulated facade around the corner in the case of an insulated facade. It is therefore not possible to screw the lying profiles to the underlying wall. In the case of highly insulated facades, this means that a lying profile at the aforementioned corner is not screwed down over a longer length. For example, in a passive construction, the insulating material can easily reach a thickness of 24 cm. By placing the corner profile, it is avoided that the profile system is weak near the mentioned corner.

[0069] This embodiment describes that a standing corner can be reinforced using a corner profile. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the embodiment also applies, mutatis mutandis, to a lying corner. In that case, the corner profile is attached to standing profiles in a lying position with the wings.

[0070] According to a further embodiment, the corner profile comprises a coupling chamber for placing a coupling piece. The coupling chamber is preferably similar to the coupling chamber for the standing profiles and the lying profiles. The coupling piece is preferably the same as the coupling piece for the standing profiles and the lying profiles.

[0071] Corner profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled to each other using the coupling piece that is placed in the coupling chamber of the corner profiles lying in each other's extension.

[0072] This embodiment is advantageous for aligning the corner profiles that lie in each other's extension. An additional advantage is that the profile system is reinforced as a result.

[0073] According to a preferred embodiment, both the lying profiles and the standing profiles are fastened to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade by means of the mounting screws. This is advantageous for a maximal attachment of the profile system to the underlying wall, especially when using heavy facade cladding.

[0074] According to an embodiment, the standing profiles are symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface of the standing profiles. The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the standing profiles. This embodiment simplifies the placement of the standing profiles because no consideration of an orientation of the standing profiles must be taken into account.

[0075] According to an embodiment, the lying profiles are symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface of the lying profiles. The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the lying profiles. This embodiment simplifies the placement of the lying profiles because no orientation of the lying profiles needs to be taken into account. This embodiment is particularly advantageous with a lying profile that comprises two angled mounting screw chambers, because in this way always one angled mounting screw chamber is correctly oriented for the screwing down of mounting screws at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45° with respect to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction in the underlying wall.

[0076] According to an embodiment, the profile system comprises an auxiliary profile. The auxiliary profile preferably comprises a closed chamber. This is advantageous for minimal deformation of the auxiliary profile under load. The closed chamber preferably has a substantially rectangular cross-section. The cross section is a transverse cross section as previously described. The auxiliary profile comprises two wings for attachment to lying or standing profiles. The two wings are preferably an extended part of a rear wall of the closed chamber and extend on both sides of the rear wall. Preferably, each wing comprises a groove. The groove is preferably a V-shaped groove. The groove extends in a longitudinal direction of the basic profile. The groove is advantageous for correctly positioning a drill or screw on the wing when screwing the auxiliary profile to a standing or lying profile. Preferably, a front wall of the closed chamber comprises an auxiliary groove. The auxiliary groove extends in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary profile. The auxiliary groove is centrally positioned in the front wall, seen in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the front wall. The auxiliary groove is beneficial for aligning the auxiliary profile.

[0077] The auxiliary profile is advantageous for reinforcing the profile system at the height of the corner between two insulated and / or ventilated facades with the help of the previously described corner profile. This can be both a standing corner and a lying corner. A standing corner is a corner formed by two standing facades. A lying corner is a corner formed by a standing facade and a lying facade, for example at a balcony or a protrusion in a facade. As previously described, with a standing corner, the lying profiles are screwed to the corner profile. It will be apparent that with a horizontal corner the upright profiles are screwed to a lying corner profile. If the corner profile is not firmly secured by this, with a standing corner, lying auxiliary profiles can be screwed to a standing profile and the corner profile. This is the case, for example, if the standing profiles and the lying profiles are placed in a regular grid and the corner profile does not coincide with lying profiles in the standing corner or the corner profile has a piece that is too long, which cannot be screwed to a lying profile. By using auxiliary profiles, it can be avoided that an otherwise redundant and more expensive lying profile has to be placed on the insulated and / or ventilated facade. In case of a standing corner it will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the auxiliary profile can also be used if only standing profiles are used to attach facade cladding to an insulated and / or ventilated facade. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the aforementioned also applies mutatis mutandis to a lying corner.

[0078] According to a further embodiment, the auxiliary profile comprises a coupling chamber for placing a coupling piece. The coupling chamber is preferably similar to the coupling chamber in the standing profiles, the lying profiles, and the corner profile. The coupling piece is preferably identical to the coupling piece for the standing profiles, the lying profiles and the corner profiles.

[0079] Auxiliary profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled to each other using the coupling piece that is placed in the coupling chamber of the auxiliary profiles lying in each other's extension.

[0080] This embodiment is advantageous for aligning the auxiliary profiles that lie in each other's extension. An additional advantage is that the profile system is reinforced as a result.

[0081] According to an embodiment, the profile system comprises a door or window casing. The door or window casing forms a reveal for a door or window, respectively. The door or window casing is at least on an upper side attached to lying profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is preferably attached at standing side edges to standing profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is preferably fastened at a lower side to lying profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is, for example, directly screwed to the standing, lying or auxiliary profiles, for example, attached to the standing, lying or auxiliary profiles using brackets or attached to the standing, lying or auxiliary profiles in another suitable manner. The door or window casing is a wooden door or window casing, a plastic door or window casing, a metal door or window casing, or is a door or window casing made of another suitable material.

[0082] This embodiment is advantageous for the installation of a door or window casing in a clad insulated and / or ventilated facade. The standing and lying profiles of the profile system preferably form a regular grid. The position of a door or a window does not necessarily correspond to the regular grid. This means that the door or window casing cannot always be attached to a standing or lying profile on all sides. If on one side of the door or window casing no standing or no lying profile is present, by placing one or more auxiliary profiles between two standing profiles and / or one or more auxiliary profiles between lying profiles, on that side a profile can still be provided to which the door or window casing can be attached.

[0083] In a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for attaching facade cladding to insulated and / or ventilated facades.

[0084] The method comprises the steps of: placing standing profiles; attaching facade cladding.

[0085] The standing profiles are extruded profiles. The standing profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. Alternatively, the standing profiles are profiles made of flame-retardant plastic. The standing profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The standing profiles comprise a mounting surface for attaching the facade cladding. Preferably, all standing profiles have an equal cross-section. The cross-section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the standing profile.

[0086] Non-limiting examples of facade cladding are metal wall panels, corrugated sheets, wooden planks and boards, plastic planks and boards, slates, etc.

[0087] According to a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the additional steps of: placing lying profiles; attaching the standing profiles and the lying profiles to each other; the screwing down of a profile system, formed by the standing profiles and the lying profiles, to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade with the help of mounting screws.

[0088] The lying profiles are extruded profiles. The lying profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. Alternatively, the lying profiles are profiles made of flame-retardant plastic. The lying profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The lying profiles comprise a mounting surface for the attachment of the facade cladding. Preferably, all lying profiles have an equal cross-section. The cross-section is in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction of the lying profile.

[0089] The standing profiles are placed in front of and parallel to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade, after which the lying profiles are attached to the standing profiles. An insulated facade comprises insulation material that is placed against the underlying wall. In an insulated facade, the standing profiles are preferably placed at a distance from the insulation material, so that there is a ventilation gap behind the facade cladding and so that the facade is also a ventilated facade. Alternatively, the lying profiles are placed in front of and parallel to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade, after which the standing profiles are attached to the lying profiles. In an insulated facade, the lying profiles are preferably placed at a distance from the insulation material, so that there is a ventilation gap behind the facade cladding and so that the facade is also a ventilated facade. It will be apparent that the steps of placing the standing profiles and the lying profiles are accordingly reversed.

[0090] The standing profiles and the lying profiles comprise at least one mounting screw chamber for receiving a mounting screw. A mounting screw is as previously described. The mounting screw is made sufficiently long to penetrate the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. In an insulated facade, the mounting screw is therefore taken sufficiently long to penetrate both the insulation material and the underlying wall.

[0091] Only the standing profiles, or only the lying profiles, or both the standing profiles and the lying profiles are screwed to the underlying wall using the mounting screws. It will be apparent that depending on which profiles are screwed down using the mounting screws, steps of the method can be interchanged or executed as sub-steps. For example, the standing profiles can first be placed and screwed, after which the lying profiles are attached to the standing profiles. For example, the lying profiles can be mounted on the standing profiles, after which the standing profiles and the lying profiles are simultaneously placed and after which the lying profiles are screwed down using the mounting screws. For example, the standing profiles can be placed and fastened with the mounting screws, after which the lying profiles are placed and attached to the standing profiles and after which the lying profiles are fastened with the mounting screws. It will be apparent that other sequences and combinations of steps and sub-steps are also possible.

[0092] The facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface of the standing profiles or to the mounting surface of the lying profiles. The facade cladding is preferably glued and / or screwed and / or nailed onto the mounting surface of the standing profiles or the lying profiles. It will be apparent that the facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface of the profiles that are positioned furthest from the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade. Most preferably, the facade cladding is glued down.

[0093] This embodiment has, among other things, the advantage that the standing and the lying profiles form a sturdy profile system that in the case of a ventilated facade can be placed in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of the ventilated facade and in the case of an insulated facade can be placed in front of and parallel to the insulation material of the insulated facade and can be screwed to the underlying wall of the insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. This is particularly advantageous for an insulated facade because it is therefore not necessary to interrupt the insulation material each time to place L-shaped brackets, which would interrupt the insulation envelope. It is equally unnecessary to use plastic spacers to avoid cold bridges. This means that the method requires fewer steps and that facade cladding can be attached to an insulated facade more quickly. Additionally advantageous is that extruded profiles are used, resulting in the method providing a fire-safe attachment of the facade cladding. Also advantageous, the method allows facade cladding to be attached to the standing profiles or lying profiles depending on a desired facade cladding, which provides great flexibility.

[0094] According to a preferred embodiment, at least a part of the mounting screws are screwed transversely into the underlying wall, and at least a part of the mounting screws are screwed at an angle of at least 15° and at most 45° relative to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction into the underlying wall.

[0095] The mentioned angle is preferably at least 18°, more preferably at least 21°, even more preferably at least 24°, and even more preferably at least 27°.

[0096] The mentioned angle is preferably at most 42°, more preferably at most 39°, even more preferably at most 36°, and even more preferably at most 33°.

[0097] An angle of at least 15° and at most 45° in an upward direction ensures the optimal attachment of the profile system to an insulated and / or ventilated facade, thereby minimizing the risk of the profile system and thus the facade cladding coming loose.

[0098] According to a preferred embodiment, lying profiles that lie in each other's extension and standing profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled using a coupling piece. The coupling piece is placed in a coupling chamber, comprised in the standing profiles and the lying profiles. The coupling piece comprises, for example, a plastic beam-shaped body, whereby the beam-shaped body comprises ribs for securing the beam-shaped body in the coupling chamber of the standing profiles and in the coupling chamber of the lying profiles. The beam-shaped body comprises a central thickening so that the coupling piece cannot be completely pressed into the coupling chamber.

[0099] The coupling of profiles that lie in each other's extension is beneficial for the alignment of these profiles and for forming a sturdy support structure of standing profiles and lying profiles. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for the profiles that are placed furthest from the underlying wall, for example the lying profiles, because a connection between lying profiles that are in each other's extension, for example lying profiles, is not necessarily required at the location of a profile that is placed closest to the underlying wall, for example a standing profile. This provides greater flexibility in attaching the facade cladding on the insulated and / or ventilated facade.

[0100] According to a preferred embodiment, a corner profile is placed at a corner formed by two insulated and / or ventilated facades. The corner profile comprises two wings for attachment to lying profiles. Lying profiles on the mentioned corner formed by the two insulated and / or ventilated facades are attached to the corner profile. The wings preferably form an angle of 90° ± 5°. It will be apparent that if the angle between the two insulated and / or ventilated facades is more or less than 90°, the angle between the wings is adjusted accordingly.

[0101] This embodiment describes how a corner profile is placed on a standing corner. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the embodiment also applies, mutatis mutandis, to a lying corner. In that case, the corner profile is attached to standing profiles in a lying position with the wings.

[0102] This embodiment is advantageous for reinforcing the profile system formed by the lying profiles and the standing profiles at the height of the corner between the two insulated and / or ventilated facades. Near the said corner, there is no underlying wall, making it impossible to screw the lying profiles to the underlying wall. By placing the corner profile, it is avoided that the profile system is weak near the mentioned corner.

[0103] According to a further embodiment, corner profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled together using a coupling piece. The coupling piece is placed in a coupling chamber, contained in the corner profiles. The coupling chamber and the coupling piece are preferably similar to the coupling chamber and the coupling piece for the standing profiles and the lying profiles.

[0104] This embodiment is advantageous for aligning the corner profiles that lie in each other's extension. An additional advantage is that the profile system is reinforced as a result.

[0105] According to an embodiment, the method further comprises the additional step of placing a door or window casing. The door or window casing forms a reveal for a door or window, respectively. The door or window casing is at least on an upper side attached to lying profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is preferably attached at standing side edges to standing profiles or auxiliary profiles. The door or window casing is preferably fastened at a lower side to lying profiles or auxiliary profiles. If at the upper side of the door or window casing no lying profile is present, one or more auxiliary profiles are attached at the upper side of the door or window casing between the standing profiles. Preferably, at the lower side of the door or window casing, one or more auxiliary profiles are fixed between the standing profiles if no lying profile is present at the lower side of the door or window casing. Preferably, one or more auxiliary profiles are attached to a standing side edge of the door or window casing between the lying profiles if no standing profile is present on the mentioned standing side edge of the door or window casing. This ensures that the door or window casing is firmly connected to the profile system.

[0106] According to a further embodiment, auxiliary profiles that lie in each other's extension are coupled together using a coupling piece. The coupling piece is placed in a coupling chamber, contained in the auxiliary profiles. The coupling chamber and the coupling piece are preferably similar to the coupling chamber and the coupling piece for the standing profiles, the lying profiles and the corner profiles.

[0107] This embodiment is advantageous for aligning the auxiliary profiles that lie in each other's extension. An additional advantage is that the profile system is reinforced as a result.

[0108] In a third aspect, the invention relates to a kit for attaching facade cladding to insulated and / or ventilated facades.

[0109] The kit comprises extruded profiles. The extruded profiles are preferably metal profiles, more preferably aluminum profiles. A non-limiting example is an aluminum 6060 alloy. Alternatively, the extruded profiles are profiles made of fire-retardant plastic. The extruded profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The extruded profiles extend in a longitudinal direction. The extruded profiles comprise a mounting surface for the attachment of facade cladding. The mounting surface is suitable for gluing and / or screwing and / or nailing facade cladding to the mounting surface.

[0110] The kit further comprises mounting screws for screwing down the extruded profiles to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade. In the case of an insulated facade, the screw is suitable for attaching the standing profiles and the lying profiles through insulation material such as, for example, insulation boards, to the underlying wall of the insulated facade. The mounting screws are in that case consequently long enough to penetrate both through the insulation material and into the underlying wall of the insulated facade. The mounting screws preferably comprise a plug for securing the mounting screws in the said wall.

[0111] The kit also comprises mounting screws for screwing together the extruded profiles, to form a support structure of lying and standing profiles. The mounting screws are preferably self-drilling metal screws.

[0112] The kit is advantageous for forming a profile system that can be placed in front of and parallel to an underlying wall of the ventilated facade in the case of a ventilated facade and in front of and parallel to the insulation material of the insulated facade in the case of an insulated facade and that can be screwed to an underlying wall of an insulated and / or ventilated facade using the mounting screws. This is particularly advantageous with an insulated facade because it is not necessary to interrupt the insulation material each time for placing L-shaped brackets. This allows the profile system to be installed more quickly and the facade cladding to be attached to the insulated and / or ventilated facade more quickly. This also results in an uninterrupted insulation envelope. It is also advantageous that the kit does not use wooden slats, but extruded profiles, which means that facade cladding can be attached to an insulated and / or ventilated facade in a fire-safe manner. The kit also allows a flexible construction of the profile system depending on a desired facade cladding.

[0113] According to a further embodiment, the kit comprises at least one corner profile. The corner profile is an extruded profile. The at least one corner profile comprises two wings for fastening the extruded profiles. The at least one corner profile is advantageous for reinforcing a profile system formed with the extruded profiles, by attaching lying profiles on a corner formed by two insulated and / or ventilated facades.

[0114] A person skilled in the art will appreciate that a method according to the second aspect is preferably carried out to form a profile system according to the first aspect, that a method according to the second aspect is preferably carried out with a kit according to the third aspect, that a profile system according to the first aspect is preferably formed by carrying out a method according to the second aspect and that a profile system according to the first aspect is preferably formed with the aid of a kit according to the third aspect. Each feature described in this document, above as well as below, can therefore relate to any of the three aspects of the present invention.

[0115] In what follows, the invention is described using non-limiting figures that illustrate the invention, and which are not intended to and should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the invention.DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0119] The lying profile (3) is likewise an extruded aluminum profile. The lying profile (3) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 2. The lying profile (3) comprises a mounting surface (5) for attaching facade cladding. The mounting surface (5) is part of a closed chamber with a trapezoidal cross-section. Each slanted side of the trapezoidal cross-section is shared with an adjacent angled mounting screw chamber (9).

Seen in a transverse direction, at each end of the lying profile (3) is a straight mounting screw chamber (6). The transverse direction is transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the mounting surface (5).

The support surface (10) is substantially parallel to the mounting surface (5). The support surface (10) is spaced from the mounting surface (5) for recessed placement of the mounting screws (13). Between a straight mounting screw chamber (6) and an angled mounting screw chamber (10) lies a closed coupling chamber (7). The coupling chamber (7) comprises a rib (8) for holding a coupling piece (15). The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 2. The rib (8) and side walls of the coupling chamber (7) partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. When extending the rib (8), a closed rectangular outline would be formed. The lying profile (3) is symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface (5). The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel with the longitudinal direction of the lying profile (3).

[0120] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a lying profile according to Figure 2 mounted on a standing profile according to Figure 1.

[0121] The profile system (1) comprises a standing profile (2) placed in front of and parallel to insulation material of an insulated facade. The insulation material is placed on an underlying wall of the insulated facade. The standing profile (2) is consequently also positioned in front and parallel to the underlying wall. The insulation material is not shown in Figure 3. The standing profile (2) is screwed into an underlying wall of the insulated facade through the insulating material with a mounting screw (13). The underlying wall is not shown in Figure 3. The mounting screw (13) is received in a right-hand straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the standing profile (2). The screw head of the mounting screw (13) rests against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the standing profile (2). The mounting screw (13) in the standing profile (2) is screwed into the underlying wall at an angle of 30° relative to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction. This is more clearly visible in Figure 4. This angle is measured before the screwing down of the mounting screw (13). The standing profile (2) is additionally screwed with a mounting screw (13) in the right-hand straight mounting screw chamber and with a mounting screw (13) in the left-hand straight mounting screw chamber through the insulation material into the underlying wall of the insulated facade. These two mounting screws (13) are screwed transversely into the underlying wall. On the standing profile (2), a lying profile (3) is placed. The lying profile (3) is screwed onto the mounting surface (5) of the standing profile (2) using four mounting screws (14). Additionally, the lying profile (3) is screwed to the underlying wall with a mounting screw (13) through the insulation material and transversely into the underlying wall. This is the mounting screw (13) left of the standing profile (2). The mounting screw (13) is received in an upper straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the lying profile (3). The screw head of the mounting screw (13) rests against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the lying profile (3). Additionally, the lying profile (3) is screwed to the underlying wall with a mounting screw (13) through the insulation material and at an angle of 30° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction. This is the mounting screw (13) to the right of the standing profile (2). The mounting screw (13) is received in an upper angled mounting screw chamber (9) of the lying profile (3). The screw head of the mounting screw (13) rests against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the lying profile (3). Hereby, the mounting screw (13) is automatically screwed into the underlying wall at an angle of 30° with respect to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction. This does not need to be measured. Finally, Figure 3 also shows how coupling pieces (15) are placed in the coupling chambers (7). The coupling pieces (15) comprise a beam-shaped body. The beam-shaped body comprises ribs for securing the beam-shaped body in the coupling chamber. The beam-shaped body comprises a central thickening so that the coupling piece (15) cannot be completely pressed into the coupling chamber (7). It will be apparent that by placing a second standing profile (2) above the standing profile (2) in Figure 3, with the coupling pieces (15) also being placed in the coupling chambers (7) of the second standing profile (2), the two standing profiles (2) would be coupled to each other. In this embodiment, the facade cladding can be attached to the mounting surface (5) of the lying profile (3).

[0122] Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a lying profile according to Figure 2 mounted on a standing profile according to Figure 1.

[0123] The cross-sectional view is made at the level of line AA in Figure 3. One of the mounting screws (13) is screwed in the standing profile (2) at an angle of 30° to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction to the underlying wall. The underlying wall is not shown in Figure 4, but the mounting surfaces (5) of both the standing profile (2) and the lying profile (3) are parallel to the underlying wall. The perpendicular to the underlying wall is therefore also a perpendicular to the mounting surfaces (5).

[0124] Figure 5 shows a perspective view of a standing profile according to Figure 1 mounted on a lying profile according to Figure 2.

[0125] The profile system (1) comprises a lying profile (3) that is placed in front of and parallel to insulation material of an insulated facade. The insulation material is placed on an underlying wall of the insulated facade. The lying profile (3) is consequently also placed in front and parallel to the underlying wall. The insulation material is not shown in Figure 5. The lying profile (3) is fastened with three mounting screws (13) through the insulation material into an underlying wall of the insulated facade. The underlying wall is not shown in Figure 5. One mounting screw (13) is received in a lower straight mounting screw chamber (6), one mounting screw (13) is received in an upper straight mounting screw chamber (6), and one mounting screw (13) is received in an upper angled mounting screw chamber (9) of the lying profile (3). The screw heads of two of the mounting screws (13) rest against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chambers (6) of the lying profile (3), and the screw head of the third mounting screw (13) rests against the support surface (11) of the angled mounting screw chamber (9). The mounting screws (13) in the straight mounting screw chambers (6) of the lying profile (3) are screwed transversely into the underlying wall and the mounting screw (13) in the angled mounting screw chamber (9) is screwed at an angle of 30° relative to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction into the underlying wall. This is clearly visible in Figure 6. The standing profile (3) is placed on the lying profile (2). The standing profile (2) is screwed onto the lying profile (3) using four mounting screws (14). Additionally, the standing profile (2) is fastened with a mounting screw (13) through the insulation material and at an angle of 30° with respect to a perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction to the underlying wall. This is more clearly visible in Figure 6. This angle is measured before the screwing down of the mounting screw (13). The mounting screw (13) is received in a right-hand straight mounting screw chamber (6) of the standing profile (2). In addition, the standing profile (2) is also screwed transversely into the underlying wall with two mounting screws (13). The screw heads of the mounting screws (13) rest against the support surface (10) of the straight mounting screw chambers (6) of the standing profile (2). In Figure 5, it is also visible how coupling pieces (15) are placed in the coupling chambers (7) of the standing profile (2) and in an upper coupling chamber (7) and in a lower coupling chamber (7) of the lying profile (3). In this embodiment, the facade cladding can be attached to the mounting surface (5) of the standing profile (2).

[0126] Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view of a standing profile according to Figure 1 mounted on a lying profile according to Figure 2.

[0127] The sectional view is made at the level of line BB in Figure 5. The mounting screw (13) at the top and front of Figure 6 is screwed into the standing profile (2) at an angle of 30° relative to the perpendicular to the underlying wall in an upward direction to the underlying wall. The underlying wall is not shown in Figure 6, but the mounting surfaces (5) of both the standing profile (2) and the lying profile (3) are parallel to the underlying wall. The perpendicular to the underlying wall is therefore also a perpendicular to the mounting surfaces (5).

[0128] Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a corner profile according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0129] The corner profile (4) is an extruded aluminum profile. The corner profile (4) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 7. The corner profile (4) comprises a closed coupling chamber (7). The coupling chamber (7) comprises ribs (8) for holding a coupling piece (15). The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 7. The ribs (8) in the closed coupling chamber (7) partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. When extending the ribs (8), a closed rectangular outline would be formed. In this embodiment, a portion of the partial rectangular outline is two ends of two ribs, each placed at an angle on a different side wall of the closed coupling chamber. When connecting these two points, a long side of the closed rectangular outline is formed. The other long side of the closed rectangular outline is formed by extending two L-shaped ribs that are placed at an angle on the same two side walls of the closed coupling chamber. The coupling chamber (7) has a hollow L-shaped cross-section. The corner profile (4) comprises two wings (12) for attaching lying profiles (3) to the corner profile (4). The wings (12) lie in the extension of side walls of the coupling chamber (7) that form an internal corner of the L-shaped cross-section. The wings (12) form an angle of 90°.

[0130] Figure 8 shows a perspective view of the attachment of lying profiles according to Figure 2 to a corner profile according to Figure 7.

[0131] The lying profiles (3) are attached to the corner profile (4) at the same height. The lying profiles (3) are placed against the wings (12) and up to the coupling chamber (7). The lying profiles (3) are screwed to the wings (12) using mounting screws (14).

[0132] A coupling piece (15) is placed in the coupling chamber (7) of the corner profile (7). The coupling piece (15) is identical to the coupling pieces (15) for the standing profiles (2) and the lying profiles (3).

[0133] Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view of an auxiliary profile according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0134] The auxiliary profile (16) is an extruded aluminum profile. The auxiliary profile (16) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 9. The auxiliary profile (16) comprises a closed coupling chamber (7). The coupling chamber (7) comprises ribs (8) for holding a coupling piece (15). The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 9. The ribs (8) in the closed coupling chamber (7) partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. When extending the ribs (8), a closed rectangular outline would be formed. The closed coupling chamber (7) lies in a substantially rectangular closed chamber (17). The substantially rectangular closed chamber (17) is divided into three parts by the closed coupling chamber (7). The auxiliary profile (16) comprises two wings (12) for attaching lying profiles (3) or standing profiles (2) to the auxiliary profile (16). The wings (12) are aligned with a rear wall of the closed chamber (17) of the auxiliary profile (16). The wings (12) comprise a V-shaped groove (18) for positioning a drill or screw on the wings (12) during the screwing down of the auxiliary profile (16) to a standing profile (2) or lying profile (3). The V-shaped groove (18) extends in the longitudinal direction. A front wall of the closed chamber (17) comprises an additional V-shaped groove (19). The additional V-shaped groove (19) extends in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary profile (16). The additional V-shaped groove (19) is centrally positioned in the front wall, seen in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the front wall. The additional V-shaped groove (19) is advantageous for aligning the auxiliary profile (16).

[0135] Figure 10 shows a perspective view of an attachment of a window casing using auxiliary profiles according to Figure 9.

[0136] The profile system (1) comprises lying profiles (3) which are placed in front of and parallel to insulation material of an insulated facade. Standing profiles (3) are placed on the lying profiles (2). The lying profiles (3) are as described for Figure 5 attached to the insulated and / or ventilated facade and the lying profiles (3) and the standing profiles (2) are also as described in Figure 5 attached to each other. The lying profiles (3) and the standing profiles (2) form a regular grid. The grid of standing profiles (2) and lying profiles (3) is locally interrupted for the placement of a window casing (20). The window casing (20) is in this case an aluminum window casing (20) which is attached to standing side edges (21) using brackets (22). At an upper side (23) of the window casing (20), there is no lying profile (3) present. At the upper side (23), auxiliary profiles (16) are placed between the standing profiles (2). The wings (12) of the auxiliary profiles (16) are screwed to the wings (12) of the standing profiles (2). The upper side (23) of the window casing (20) is attached to the auxiliary profiles (16) using brackets (22). It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that, depending on the presence of standing profiles (2) on standing side edges (21) or the presence of lying profiles (3) on the upper side (23) or a lower side (24) of the window casing (20), auxiliary profiles (16) are placed or not on these side edges (21), on the upper side (23) and / or on the lower side (24). It will be apparent that this description is mutatis mutandis applicable to a profile system (1) according to Figure 3. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the auxiliary profile (16) is also usable for attaching the window casing (20) if only standing profiles (2) or lying profiles (3) are used to attach facade cladding to an insulated and / or ventilated facade. Figure 12 shows, for example, how the window casing (20) is attached to auxiliary profiles (16) and lying profiles (3), if only lying profiles (3) are used for attaching the facade cladding to the insulated and / or ventilated facade.

[0137] Figure 11 show a cross-sectional view of a standing profile according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention.

[0138] The standing profile (2) is an extruded aluminum profile. The standing profile (2) extends in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is transverse to Figure 11. The standing profile (2) is similar to the standing profile (2) from Figure 1. There are a number of differences. First of all, the mounting surface (5) has been made wider. This allows for attaching facade cladding to the mounting surface (5) that requires more material between an edge of the facade cladding and an attachment means, such as a screw, with which the facade cladding is attached to the standing profile (2), than is possible with a standing profile (2) as in Figure 1. The mounting surface (5) is, just like in Figure 1, part of a closed chamber. The standing profile comprises a coupling chamber (7) on two opposite sides, which in this embodiment is closed. The closed coupling chambers (7) have been brought outside the aforementioned closed chamber compared to Figure 1. Side walls of the closed coupling chambers (7) partially form a rectangular outline in which a coupling piece (15) can be placed. The coupling piece (15) is not shown in Figure 11. Between the closed coupling chambers (7) and the said closed chamber, seen in a width direction, there is a straight mounting screw chamber (2) at each end of the standing profile (6). The transverse direction is transverse to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the mounting surface (5). By placing the closed coupling chambers (7) outside the said closed chamber and because the straight mounting screw chambers (6) lie between the closed coupling chambers (7) and the said closed chamber, fastening means with which the facade cladding is attached to the mounting surface (5) cannot interfere with coupling pieces (15). The two straight mounting screw chambers (6) are as described for Figure 1. The standing profile (2) is symmetrical with respect to a bisector perpendicular to the mounting surface (5). The perpendicular bisector plane is parallel with the longitudinal direction of the standing profile (2).

[0139] Figure 12 shows a perspective view of an alternative attachment of a window casing using auxiliary profiles according to Figure 9.

[0140] In this embodiment, only lying profiles (3) are used for attaching the facade cladding to the insulated and / or ventilated facade. It will be apparent that by placing standing profiles (2) behind the lying profiles (3) a profile system (1) according to Figure 3 can be obtained.
