Definitions

• This invention relates to insulation panels for use in roofing and walls for buildings, and roofs and walls incorporating the insulation panels.
• an insulation panel made of high density mineral fibre and having set into each of its side edge faces a metal section extending the full length of the panel and flanged at both longitudinal edges with one flange engaging the inner face of the panel and the other penetrating the panel at an inclination towards the inner face of the panel.
• each metal section has substantially centrally intermediate in its depth an inwardly-directed longitudinal groove to complement the groove in the metal section into the opposed side edge face of an adjacent insulation panel and provides a duct for accommodating a vapour seal.
• each metal section may have a longitudinally extending return offset substantially centrally intermediate in its depth, one in counterpart of the other, to provide a joggle in co-operation with its counterpart in the metal section set into the opposed side edge face of an adjacent panel, or the side edge faces of the panel are complementarily longitudinally stepped and rabbetted and the metal sections are configured in conformity therewith.
• a roof or wall comprises a plurality of similar panels as hereinbefore defined arranged end-to-end and side-by-side across purlins or rails, a plurality of laterally -spaced trapezoidal bars of mineral fibre on the outer faces of the panels, profiled metal sheets overlying the 5 panels and the trapezoidal bars thereon and transverse shaped complementarily to the panels and trapezoidal bars transverse configuration, each profiled metal sheet being of length to cover an end-to-end row of panels and being in overlapping relationship with the 10 or each adjacent profiled metal sheet, rivets securing the profiled metal sheets together at the overlapping portions, and means clamping the panels between the profiled metal sheets and the purlins or rails.
• Fig (1) is a vertical cross -sectional view throu roofing or wall according to the present invention
• an 2.0 Fig (2) is a vertical cross -sectional view throu a wall according to the present invention, the wall being turned through 180° for ease of illustration.
• roofing consists generally 25 of a plurality of mineral fibre panels 10, and a plura of profiled metal sheets 11 overlying the panels.
• Each of the panels 10 is rectangular in plan vie and in cross-section and has upper and lower parallel major faces, 12 and 13, respectively.
• each bar 14 formed separately from mineral fibre and have their bases 15 adhesively secured to the .upper face 12 of each panel.
• the upper face 16 of each bar 14 is flat and parallel to the base 15, thereof, and the side walls are convergent upwards towards the upper flat face.
• the bars 14 are parallel to one another and extend over the full length of each panel 10.
• each panel 10 is covered by a sheet 17 of white painted aluminium foil or other metal, or wood, or plastics material, or glass- reinforced cement, the sheet 17 being bonded to the face 13 possibly by adhesive, but preferably by heat sealing.
• Each panel 10 has set into each of its side edge faces a metal section 18 extending the full length of the panel 10 and flanged at both longitudinal edges.
• One flange 19, the lower flange** is flush against the sheet 17 covering the inner or lower face 13 of the panel 10 and the other flange 20 penetrates the panel 10 at an inclination towards said inner or lower face 13 of the panel, a slot being provided for the latter purpose in the side edge face of the panel 10.
• the flanged metal section 18 is fitted endwise to the panel 10 and is held against displacement laterally outwards of the latter by virtue of the inclined flange 20.
• the metal section 18 may extend over about .three-quarters or less of the thickness of the panel 10 from the inner or lower face 13 of the panel 10.
• the metal section 18 has substantially' centrally intermediate its depth an inwardly-directed longitudinal grove 21 hich complements the groove 21 in the metal section 18 set into the opposed side edge face of the adjacent panel 10 and provides a duct for a vapour seal 22.
• Each panel 10 rests on top of adjacent purlins 23 of the roof supporting structure, - 4 -
• each profiled metal sheet 11 has corrugations 24 corresponding to the bars 14 on each panel so that the bars 14 fit into the corrugations 24, and each profile metal sheet extends from top to bottom of an end-to-en row of panels 10.
• the panels 10 are clamped between the metal sheets 11 and the prulins 23 by self-tapping screws 25 which pass through the sheets 11 and the panels 10 into the purlins 23, the screws 25 being fitted with sealing washers 28.
• Each sheet 11 extends throughout the width of a panel 10 and has a laterally projecting extension 26 which overlaps the sheet 11 overlying the adjacent panel 10 and is of partial valley formati and engages over and around the upper face 16 of the adjacent bar 14 of the adjacent panel. .
• the overlappin portions of the metal sheets 11 may be secured together by rivets 27, or self-tapping screws.
• Each panel 10 may, for example, be 600 mm to
• each pane may be 30 mm to 120 mm and the thickness of each bar may be 20 mm to 120 mm.
• the arrangement is basically the same as the roofing shown in and described with reference to Fig (1) and corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals increased by one hundred.
• the bars 114 of trapezoidal cross- section are much wider than the bars 14 of Fig (1) and the valleys between the bars are much narrower, the being indeed an interchange of dimensions between the two ' such that the profiled metal sheets 111 of Fig (2) Correspond to the profiled metal sheets 11 of Fig (1) when inverted.
• each panel 110 there is only a vertically and longitudinally divided portion of a bar 114, each such portion complementing the portion at the adjacent side of the adjacent panel when the panels 110 are juxtaposed in the construction of a wall.
• the panels 110 are clamped between the profiled metal sheets 111 and rails 123 by self-tapping screws 125 which pass through the sheets 111 and the panels 110 into the rails 123.
• Different forms of double-flanged metal sections may be set into the side edge faces of the panels 10 and 110 instead of the metal sections 18 and 118 shown in Figs (1) and (2).
• the flanges in each case are the same as those of the Figs (1) and (2) metal sections, but the metal sections themselves are modified.
• One metal section 18 or 118 may be formed with a centrally-located longitudinal round-bottomed recess and the other metal section 18 or 118 with a centrally- located longitudinal projection of shape similar to the recess so as to enter the latter when the adjacent panels are juxtaposed.
• one metal section 18 or 118 is formed with a centrally-located longitudinal V-shaped recess and the other metal section 18 or* 118 with a centrally-located longitudinal projection of arrow-head section dimensioned to enter the recess when the adjacent panels are juxtaposed.
• the arrangement is somewhat similar to that in Figs (l)and(2)but,the inwardl -directed longitudinal grooves are V-shaped, the vapour seal accommodated in the resulting rectangular-section duct consequently being of rectangular section.
• the metal sections 18 or 118 are straight and fit flush together.
• one metal section 18 or 118 is formed with a step adjacent to the flange 19 or 119 and the other metal section 18 or 118 is formed with a corresponding indent.
• any panel 10 of the roofing of Fig (1) may be replaced by a light-transmissive panel, the profile metal sheet II and panel 10 being replaced by profiled translucent or transparent sheets of reinforced glass fibre or plastics material spaced apart by mineral fibre spacer units occurring at each purlin or rail and incorporating condensation drainage grooves.
• roofing can be assembled or a wall can be built, easily, quickly and safely by skilled or semi-skilled labour.
• the proble associated with complex muIti-component in situ assembl systems or knownroof panels comprising profiled metal sheets insulated with foamed polystyrene or polyuretha are avoided, especially the danger of fire, dense smoke and toxic fumes in the event of fire.
• the mineral fibre panels provide increased thermal and acoustic insulation, and they are proof against fire, moisture, rot and vermin.
• the double- flanged metal sections prevent the ingress of moisture between panels, and a flame barrier in the event of fir
