Insulated Façade Mounting with Adjustable Struts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing insulating facades for building exterior walls often lack sufficient thermal insulation and have challenges with load-bearing capacity and planarity, requiring complex adjustments to fit uneven wall contours.
Innovation Solution
The insulating facade is mounted with posts at a distance from the outer wall, using an angle assembly with a strut system that allows for adjustable attachment points, enabling free distribution of insulation and improved support without direct contact with the wall, thus enhancing thermal insulation and mountability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If stems are attached directly to the outer wall, then mounting is simplified, but thermal insulation performance deteriorates due to thermal bridging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mounting system with brackets and support elements that act as intermediaries between the outer wall and the cladding. These elements are positioned to avoid direct contact between conductive components and the wall surface, thereby eliminating thermal bridges while maintaining secure mounting. The intermediary structure allows thermal insulation material to be placed between the mounting elements and the wall, preventing heat transfer paths.
2Stability of the object's composition
If stems are positioned close to the wall, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability to uneven wall surfaces deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into multiple independent adjustable elements including individual brackets, support arms, and positioning elements. Each segment can be independently adjusted to accommodate local variations in wall surface geometry. This segmentation allows the overall structure to maintain stability while adapting to uneven surfaces through localized adjustments rather than requiring the entire framework to conform to wall irregularities.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system incorporates adjustable and movable components that can be positioned and secured at different locations. The brackets and support elements can be adjusted along the wall surface to achieve optimal positioning, transforming a static rigid structure into a dynamic adaptable system that maintains structural integrity while conforming to various wall geometries.
3Strength
If stems are attached directly to the wall, then load-bearing capacity is maximized, but thermal bridging increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs mounting brackets and support elements as intermediary components that transfer loads from the cladding to the wall without requiring direct contact between conductive structural elements and the wall surface. These intermediaries distribute mechanical loads while maintaining thermal breaks, allowing the system to achieve both high load-bearing capacity and effective thermal insulation by separating the structural function from the thermal conduction path.

AI summary
The present invention relates to an insulated facade (100) placed in front of a building's exterior wall (102) and comprising predominantly horizontal sills (108) that abut and are attached to the building's exterior wall (102), at least in sections; vertically extending studs (110) that extend between adjacent sills (108); an insulating sheathing (104) on the outside and spaced apart from the building's exterior wall (102); and insulation (102) provided between the sheathing (104) and the building's exterior wall (102). To improve the ease of assembly of the insulated facade (100), particularly with regard to load-bearing capacity and flatness, the present invention proposes that the studs (110) be positioned at a distance from the building's exterior wall (102). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a fastening set for fastening thresholds (108) of the insulated facade (100) of the present invention.
