Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an indoor structure in which partition walls are arranged on a floor. [Background technology]
[0002] Patent document 1 discloses a fixing structure for a partition wall, which comprises a laying section laid below the floor surface inside a room, a partition wall placed on the floor surface, and a fixing section provided on the partition wall for fixing the partition wall to the floor surface.
[0003] Patent Document 2 discloses a solid wood flooring board material for flooring used for flooring the interior of a building. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-7300 A [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 099445 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] Solid wood has the property of expanding when it absorbs moisture and shrinking when it dries. For this reason, in the above-mentioned conventional fixed partition wall structure, if the floor surface is finished with solid wood, the expansion and contraction of this solid wood will cause the bottom of the partition wall to move, which could result in the lower part of the partition wall becoming misaligned.
[0006] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide an interior structure in which the floor surface is finished with solid wood while eliminating problems caused by expansion and contraction of the solid wood. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The interior structure of this invention is characterized in that solid wood finish floorboards are laid on floor material, partition walls are located at discontinuous areas where the solid wood finish floorboards are spaced apart, and boards having the same thickness as the solid wood finish floorboards are placed on the floor material at the discontinuous areas to support the underside of the partition wall, and the edges of the solid wood finish floorboards at the discontinuous areas are spaced apart from the edges of the boards.
[0008] With the above configuration, the edges of the solid wood floor panels are separated from the edges of the board material at the discontinuous locations, and the floor-side position of the partition wall does not change even if the solid wood expands or contracts, so problems such as the lower part of the partition wall shifting due to expansion or contraction of the solid wood are avoided. Also, because the board material has the same thickness as the solid wood floor panels, it is possible to use partition walls that have been used up until now without any special modifications.
[0009] The partition wall includes a frame and a wall base material attached to the frame, and the width of the plate material may be the same as that of the frame. This prevents a support problem with the frame when the width of the plate material is narrower than that of the frame, and also prevents the separation area from the partition wall when the width of the plate material is wider than that of the frame.
[0010] The edges of the solid wood finish floorboards may be located below the wall underlayment, so that even if the edge positions of the solid wood finish floorboards move due to expansion and contraction of the solid wood finish floorboards, the range of movement of the edge positions can be contained within the width of the wall underlayment.
[0011] The construction method for an interior structure of this invention is a construction method for producing the above-mentioned interior structure, and is characterized in that it includes, after the construction of the floor material and before the placement of the solid wood finish floor boards, a step of installing the board material and the partition wall at the location where the partition wall is to be installed, and a step of placing the solid wood finish floor boards on the floor material.
[0012] Alternatively, the construction method for an interior structure of the present invention is a construction method for producing the above-mentioned interior structure, characterized in that it includes the steps of, after the construction of the flooring material, placing the solid wood finished floorboards before the partition wall, leaving an open space where the partition wall will be installed, and installing the partition wall in the open space. [Effects of the Invention]
[0013] According to the present invention, the position of the floor side of the partition wall does not change even when the solid wood expands and contracts, so problems such as the lower part of the partition wall being misaligned can be avoided. In addition, because the board material that supports the partition wall has the same thickness as the solid wood floor board, it is possible to use the partition wall that has been used until now without any special modifications. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an interior structure of an embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the interior structure of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, solid wood finish floorboards 2 made of solid wood are placed on floor material 1. The thickness of the solid wood finish floorboards 2 is, for example, 15 mm.
[0016] The floor material 1 is made up of, for example, a base board 11 fixed with screws onto joists 3, and a temporary plywood board 12 attached to the base board 11. The joists 3 are supported by beams 4. The beams 4 are placed on a concrete floor (not shown). Heat insulating material is also provided around the joists 3.
[0017] The solid wood floorboards 2 are spaced apart on the floor material 1, and the lower part of the partition wall 5 is located at this discontinuous point.
[0018] The partition wall 5 includes, for example, a wooden frame 51 and a wall base material 52 attached to the frame 51. The width (thickness) of the frame 51 is, for example, 50 mm. The wall base material 52 is, for example, a plaster board with a thickness of 12.5 mm.
[0019] Furthermore, a board 6 made of plywood is positioned on the flooring 1 at the discontinuous portion. The thickness (height) of the board 6 is 15 mm, the same as the thickness (height) of the solid wood finish floorboard 2. The width of the board 6 is 50 mm, the same as the width of the frame 51. The board 6 is long in the extension direction of the partition wall 5 (perpendicular to the paper surface), and has a length of, for example, 1820 mm.
[0020] On the floor material 1 at the discontinuous location, the plate material 6 supports the underside of the lower frame portion of the frame 51. Screws driven into this lower frame portion from above also penetrate the plate material 6 and reach the floor material 1, and the lower frame portion and the plate material 6 are fixed to the floor material 1 as a single unit.
[0021] The edges of the solid wood finish floorboards 2 are spaced apart from the edges of the boards 6, thereby forming a gap G. The minimum value of this distance is determined from the viewpoint that the edges of the solid wood finish floorboards 2 will not come into contact with the edges of the boards 6 even when the solid wood finish floorboards 2 are installed in winter when they are most shrunk and when they are most expanded during the rainy season. The minimum value of the distance is, for example, approximately 3 mm. On the other hand, the maximum value of the distance is set to a value smaller than the thickness of the wall underlayment 52. If the thickness of the wall underlayment 52 is, for example, 12.5 mm, the maximum distance is set to, for example, approximately 10 mm. In this way, when installing with a distance of approximately 10 mm taking into account the thickness of the wall underlayment 52, the above-mentioned 10 mm can be ensured by positioning the edges of the solid wood finish floorboards 2 so that they slightly overlap the wall underlayment 52, thereby simplifying floor finishing installation.
[0022] The edge of the solid wood finish floorboard 2 is located, for example, below the lower end of the wall base material 52. In addition, a baseboard 7 is placed at the corner formed by the upper surface of the edge of the solid wood finish floorboard 2 and the lower surface of the wallpaper attached to the wall base material 52. The baseboard 7 is adhered to the wallpaper, and is not affected by the movement of the edge of the solid wood finish floorboard 2.
[0023] With an interior structure of this configuration, at the discontinuous portion, there is a gap (gap G) where the edge of the solid wood finish floorboard 2 is separated from the edge of the board material 6, and even if the solid wood expands and contracts, the position of the floor side of the partition wall 5 does not change, so problems such as tilting of the partition wall 5 can be avoided. Furthermore, because the board material 6 has the same thickness as the solid wood finish floorboard 2, it becomes possible to use a partition wall for, for example, a color floor that has been used up until now as the partition wall 5 of this interior structure without any particular modification.
[0024] If the width of the plate material 6 is the same as that of the frame 51, it is possible to prevent a support problem with the frame 51 when the width of the plate material 6 is narrower than that of the frame 51, and it is also possible to prevent the separated portion from being separated from the partition wall 5 when the width of the plate material 6 is wider than that of the frame 51.
[0025] When the edges of the solid wood finishing floorboards 2 are positioned below the wall base material 52, even if the position of the edges of the solid wood finishing floorboards 2 moves due to expansion and contraction of the solid wood finishing floorboards 2, this range of movement can be contained within the width (thickness) of the wall base material 52. Also, as described above, the solid wood finishing floorboards 2 only need to be positioned so that their edges slightly overlap the wall base material 52, which simplifies floor finishing construction.
[0026] In the above example, the gap G represents the gap between the edge of the solid wood finish floorboard 2 and the edge of the board 6. However, instead of the gap G, a compressible elastic member may be disposed at the gap. The width of the elastic member is set within the range from the minimum to maximum value of the gap distance. By disposing the elastic member, the worker can feel the impact of the solid wood finish floorboard 2 when inserting it under the wall base material 52. The worker can stop pushing the solid wood finish floorboard 2 upon feeling the impact of the elastic member, thereby placing the solid wood finish floorboard 2 with the specified gap distance maintained. When the solid wood finish floorboard 2 expands, the elastic member can be pressed against the solid wood finish floorboard 2 and compress. If the thickness (height) of the elastic member is made thinner than the thickness (height) of the solid wood finish floorboard 2, the elastic member can be prevented from protruding from the baseboard 7 due to upward bulging when pressed against the solid wood finish floorboard 2 and compressing laterally.
[0027] Next, we will explain the construction method for the above-mentioned interior structure. After the flooring 1 is installed and the ceiling is finished, but before the solid wood finish floorboards 2 are placed, a worker temporarily fixes, by adhesive, a board 6 to the flooring 1 in the location where the partition wall 5 is to be installed, and then temporarily fixes, by adhesive, the frame 51 of the partition wall 5 to the board 6. Note that the board 6 may be temporarily fixed to the underside of the lower frame portion of the frame 51 in advance by adhesive. Next, the worker integrally fixes the board 6 and the lower frame portion of the frame 51 to the flooring 1 using screws or the like. Thereafter, the worker attaches the wall underlayment 52 to the frame 51 and lays the solid wood finish floorboards 2 on the flooring 1.
[0028] It is also possible to use a construction method in which the solid wood floorboards 2 are placed ahead of the partition wall 5, leaving the area where the partition wall 5 will be installed open, and then the floor is finished. The boards 6 are placed so that their center lines are aligned with the center position of the area (discontinuous area) where the partition wall 5 will be installed. The width of the area where the partition wall 5 will be installed is the value obtained by adding the width dimension of the boards 6 to the value within the range from the maximum value to the minimum value of the above-mentioned separation distance.
[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Various modifications and variations can be made to the illustrated embodiments within the same scope as the present invention or within an equivalent scope. [Explanation of symbols]
