Method for mounting a partition to a wall
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Installing partition walls in wet rooms, such as bathrooms, typically requires drilling into the wall, which damages the secondary waterproofing layer and is time-consuming, and existing adhesive methods require long curing times, necessitating installation interruptions.
Innovation Solution
A two-adhesive system is used where a first adhesive system achieves initial strength within 30 minutes to support the partition profile and wall, allowing immediate attachment, and a second adhesive system provides long-term strength after attachment, enabling continuous installation without interruption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a single adhesive system is used to bond the partition profile to the wall, then the bonding process is simple, but the installation must be interrupted for several hours to allow the adhesive to cure before the partition can be supported
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive bonding process is segmented into two distinct adhesive systems applied at different locations on the profile. The first adhesive system (rapid-setting) is applied at specific bonding points to provide immediate initial strength, while the second adhesive system (long-term strength) is applied at remaining locations to provide durable bonding. This segmentation allows the partition to be supported immediately without installation interruption.
Solution Approach 2:
Different adhesive systems with different properties are applied at different locations on the profile. The first adhesive system is applied at bonding points where immediate load-bearing capacity is needed, while the second adhesive system is applied at remaining locations where long-term durability is prioritized. This local differentiation of adhesive properties resolves the contradiction between quick support and durable bonding.
2Reliability
If drilling is used to attach the partition to the wall, then the attachment is strong and reliable, but the waterproofing layer is damaged and the installation is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mechanical drilling system is replaced with a chemical adhesive bonding system. Instead of physically penetrating the wall and damaging the waterproofing layer through drill holes, the invention uses adhesive systems that bond to the wall surface without penetration. This substitution eliminates the harmful effects of drilling while maintaining reliable attachment through chemical bonding.
3Reliability
If drilling is used to attach the partition to the wall, then the attachment is strong, but the installation process becomes complex and time-consuming due to multiple drill holes
Solution Approach 1:
The complex mechanical drilling process requiring multiple specialized drill bits and wet drilling procedures is replaced with a simpler adhesive application process. The adhesive systems can be applied directly to the profile using standard construction techniques, eliminating the need for multiple drill holes and specialized drilling equipment, thereby reducing installation complexity while maintaining attachment strength.
Applied Scientific Principles

Function Achieved in This Case
The method allows for simple, continuous assembly of partition walls without drilling, ensuring immediate support and long-term durability, simplifying the installation process and maintaining structural integrity under environmental stresses.
Implementation Method 1
at least two different adhesive systems are arranged distributed along the length of the partition wall profile on the side of the web facing away from the flange, which come into contact with the wall when the partition wall profile is placed against the wall
Implementation Method 2
a second adhesive system is provided over at least part of the remaining length of the side of the web facing away from the flange, and the partition profile is glued to the wall with the first adhesive system and the second adhesive system

AI summary
To simplify the installation of a partition wall on a wall by means of adhesive bonding, it is provided that the partition wall profile includes a first adhesive system (7) and a second adhesive system (8), wherein the first adhesive system (7) achieves an initial strength within a period of less than 30 minutes, by which the partition wall profile (4) as well as the partition wall (1) is supported and held on the wall (2), the partition wall (1) is fixed in the partition wall profile (4) after reaching the initial strength, and the second adhesive system (8) only achieves its final strength after the partition wall (1) has been fixed in the partition wall profile (4) in order to give the adhesive bond between the partition wall profile (4) and the wall (2) long-term strength.
