Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cladding member for buildings.
  • cladding members for example elongate cladding members formed of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) that simulate traditional wooden planking.
  • UPVC unplasticized polyvinyl chloride
  • Such cladding members may be applied to the surface to be clad either horizontally or vertically as the situation demands, and secured by means of nails, cleats or other fixing means.
  • the cladding members are provided with interlocking portions whereby adjacent cladding members may overly and interlock one another to provide a weather-proof cladding.
  • the overlapping cladding members shield the fixing means which secure the members to the building and which are provided in the region of the interlock.
  • US-A-4 308 702 there is disclosed a system using interlocking plastic panels.
  • the interlock is formed by a downwardly and inwardly directed flange along one edge engaging in a U-shaped channel in a raised portion adjacent the other edge.
  • the U-shaped channel is disposed inwardly of the edge, and a fixing nail is positioned between the channel and the edge.
  • a problem with known arrangements is that the interlock between two adjacent cladding members tends to define narrow spaces extending between the cladding members and along which water may be drawn by capillary action. Such water can have a detrimental effect on the fixing of the underlying cladding member to the surface, for example by promoting corrosion of the fixing means. This can be particularly troublesome in the case of fixing by means of e.g. nails directly in the interlocked region.
  • a cladding member for engagement with like members in an overlapping fashion, the member having an outer side and inner side, a longitudinally extending fixing region adjacent one edge for receiving fixing means to secure the cladding member to a surface, a longitudinally extending securing portion adjacent said one edge, projecting from the outer side of the member, a first longitudinally extending flange adjacent the other edge of the member, projecting from the inner side of the member, the first flange being adapted to engage the securing portion of a like member, and a second longitudinally extending flange adjacent said other edge of the member, projecting from the inner side of the member, there being a channel defined between the two flanges and the arrangement being such that the fixing region and the securing portion will be covered by the like member, characterised in that the second flange is arranged to extend to adjacent the outer side of a like member, is disposed outwardly of the first flange, and is arranged to be disposed outwardly of the fixing region of
  • the fixing means e.g. a nail
  • the fixing means is protected from both directly driven rain, and water drawn indirectly into the cladding by capillary action through interlocked portions.
  • anti-capillary channel is meant a channel or groove, such as a capillary groove, which is of relatively large dimensions compared to the spaces that are otherwise defined between two interlocked cladding members so that capillary action cannot occur, or is at least substantially reduced.
  • region of interlock is inwardly of the second flange and thus protected, as opposed to the exposed interlocking regions in US-A-2 948 367 and US-A-4 308 702.
  • the cladding members will be generally elongate and the flanges and securing portion, and also the anti-capillary channel, will extend parallel to the member for substantially the entire length of the member.
  • the securing portion is a raised portion.
  • the fixing region be in a portion which is substantially thicker than the remainder of the cladding member. This is advantageous when it is desired to secure, e.g. by nailing, a cladding member formed of a relatively soft material, such as cellular foam. This can be achieved by having the securing portion as a thickened rib, through which the fixing means such as a nail can pass.
  • a cladding member 1 in the form of an elongate cladding plank, is fixed to a wall 2 via a batten 3. It will be appreciated though that in some circumstances the cladding member 1 may be fixed directly to the wall 2 without the need of an intermediary batten. It will also be appreciated that Fig. 1 shows portions of adjacent underlying and overlying cladding members 1′ and 1" that interlock with cladding member 1 in a manner to be described below.
  • the cladding member 1 is in the form of an elongate cladding plank and is formed along one edge with a securing portion 4 which is raised and substantially thicker than the remainder of the plank 1, and is preferably approximately twice the thickness of the remainder of the plank.
  • the cladding plank 1 is fixed to the batten 3, or wall 2 as the case may be, by means of nails 5 or similar fixing elements, passing through the securing portion 4.
  • the provision of a relatively thick securing portion 4 is particularly advantageous when the plank is formed of a relatively soft material such as cellular foam.
  • the outer side of the securing portion 4 is provided with a rib 6 that extends the length of the cladding plank 1.
  • the other edge of the cladding plank 1 is provided with an interlocking portion 7 that is adapted to overly and interlock with the securing portion 4′ of an adjacent plank 1′.
  • the interlocking portion 7 is defined by two flanges 8,9 which extend for the length of the plank 1 and which are formed on the underside of the plank 1, that is to say they are directed towards the wall 2 in use.
  • the securing portion 4′ is received between this pair of flanges.
  • One of the flanges, 8, is substantially L-shaped in cross-section and defines a recess 10 that is complementary to and adapted to receive the rib 6′ of the underlying plank 1′.
  • the other of the two flanges, 9, is provided at the edge of the plank 1 and is spaced from the securing portion 4′ of the underlying plank so that an anti-capillary channel 11 is defined there-between.
  • an anti-capillary channel 11 is defined there-between.
  • the interlock protects the nails 5 from rain not only directly, by virtue of the interlocking portion overlying the securing portion, but also indirectly since water cannot be drawn along the interlock by capillary action.
  • This interlock design also has the advantage that a better line may be achieved between interlocking planks, particularly when viewed from below, if the fixing nails have not been fully driven home.
  • Fig. 1 The embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is particularly suitable for a plank that is to be fixed to a wall horizontally, but the invention is equally applicable to vertical cladding members and Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of such a vertical cladding member.
  • Fig. 2 the same reference numerals have been used to refer to the same elements as in Fig. 1, and the corresponding description applies to Fig. 2 as well as to Fig. 1.
