Description

Beschreibung:Description:

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dichtungsstreifen für eine First- oder Gratabdeckung mit einem zur Auflage auf einer First- oder Gratbohle bestimmten, einen Luftdurchtritt ermöglichenden Mittelstreifen und mit daran angrenzenden Seitenstreifen, die wenigstens mit ihren äußeren Längsrändern an die Oberseite von Dacheindeckungsplatten anpaßbar sind.The invention relates to a sealing strip for a ridge or ridge cover with a central strip intended for resting on a ridge or ridge plank and allowing air to pass through and with adjacent side strips which can be adapted at least with their outer longitudinal edges to the top of roof covering panels.

Dichtungsstreifen dieser Art werden typischerweise von den oberen Abschluß des Firstes oder Grates bildenden Abdeckkappen überdeckt und müssen sich, um eine gute Abdichtung gegen Regen und Flugschnee zu erreichen, satt an die Oberseite der dem First oder Grat zugekehrten Ränder der Dacheindeckungsplatten anschmiegen.Sealing strips of this type are typically covered by the cover caps forming the upper end of the ridge or ridge and, in order to achieve a good seal against rain and flying snow, must fit snugly against the top of the edges of the roof covering plates facing the ridge or ridge.

Ein derartiger Dichtungsstreifen, der auch bei den verschiedensten Dacheindeckungsplatten sowie bei den verschiedensten Dachneigungen universell verwendbar ist und mit dem sowohl eine Abdichtung gegen Regen und Flugschnee als auch eine Entlüftung des Dachraumes ermöglicht wird, ist aus der EP-PS 0 117 391 bekannt. Dieser Dichtungsstreifen weist einen biegsamen Träger auf, der an einem oder beiden Längsrändern mit einem besonderen Randteil versehen ist. Der Randteil ist kammartig ausgebildet und besteht aus elastischem Material, und die Zähne des Randteils sind mit einem die Zahnlücken überbrückenden Randstreifen aus flexiblem Material auseinanderspreizbar verbunden. Der die Zahnlücken überdeckende Randstreifen kann aus einem luftdurchlässigen Vliesstoff bestehen, der zur Dachraumentlüftung beiträgt. Eine Entlüftung wird auch ermöglicht, wenn der Trägerstreifen in seinem seitlich der First- oder Gratbohle befindlichen Teil Lüftungsöffnungen aufweist und mit hochstehenden Auflagern für die Abdeckkappen versehen ist. Dank der besonderen Ausbildung des Randteils ist eine hervorragende Anpassung an die verschiedensten Oberflächen von Dacheindeckungsplatten gegeben. Andererseits ist die Herstellung eines solchen Dichtungsstreifens aufwendig.Such a sealing strip, which can also be used universally with a wide variety of roof covering panels and with a wide variety of roof pitches and which enables both sealing against rain and flying snow and ventilation of the roof space, is known from EP-PS 0 117 391. This sealing strip has a flexible support which is provided with a special edge part on one or both longitudinal edges. The edge part is comb-shaped and consists of elastic material, and the teeth of the edge part are connected to one another by an edge strip bridging the tooth gaps and made of flexible material. The edge strip covering the tooth gaps can consist of an air-permeable non-woven material, which contributes to the ventilation of the roof space. Ventilation is also made possible if the carrier strip has ventilation openings in its part located to the side of the ridge or ridge plank and is provided with upstanding supports for the cover caps. Thanks to the special Formation of the edge part is an excellent adaptation to the various surfaces of roofing panels. On the other hand, the production of such a sealing strip is complex.

Demgegenüber besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, einen aufrollbaren Dichtungsstreifen für eine First-oder Gratabdeckung zu schaffen, der einfach aufgebaut und kostengünstig herstellbar ist, der eine Dachraumentlüftung gewährleistet, der von Hand oder mit einfachsten Mitteln auch an stärker profilierte Dacheindeckungsplatten verschiedenster Art und optisch ansprechend anpaßbar ist und der die mit der Anpassung angenommene Form auch unter wechselnden Witterungsverhältnissen dauerhaft beibehält.In contrast, the object of the present invention is to provide a roll-up sealing strip for a ridge or ridge cover, which is simple in construction and inexpensive to produce, which ensures roof ventilation, which can be done by hand or with the simplest means, even on more profiled roofing panels of various types and optically is appealingly adaptable and which permanently maintains the shape adopted with the adaptation even under changing weather conditions.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Mittelstreifen ein luftdurchlässiges, wasserabweisendes und flugschneesicheres Vlies aufweist, und die Seitenstreifen jeweils aus weichen, dehnbaren Polyisobutylen-Folienstreifen bestehen, in welchen ein Streckmetallgitter eingebettet ist, das in Längsrichtung eine Dehnbarkeit von 50 bis 150 % und in Querrichtung eine Dehnbarkeit ≦ 20 % und ein Rückstellvermögen ≦ 5 % aufweist.This object is achieved in that the median strip has an air-permeable, water-repellent and snow-resistant fleece, and the side strips each consist of soft, stretchable polyisobutylene film strips, in which an expanded metal mesh is embedded, which has an extensibility in the longitudinal direction of 50 to 150% and has an extensibility ≦ 20% and a resilience ≦ 5% in the transverse direction.

Es ist zwar bekannt, plastisch verformbares Abdeckmaterial auch zur Abdeckung bzw. Überdeckung von Ritzen, Fugen, Spalten, Öffnungen, Übergängen und dergleichen an wasserführenden Stellen an Gebäuden, Dächern und deren Teilen zu verwenden (DE-OS 36 42 063). Dieses bogen-, bahn- oder streifenförmige, von Hand auch noch bei niedrigen Temperaturen verformbare Abdeckmaterial besteht aus einem PolyisobutylenSubstrat, in welches ein Streckmetallgitter eingebettet ist, das in Längsrichtung eine Dehnbarkeit von 50 bis 150 %, in Querrichtung eine Dehnbarkeit ≦ 20 % und das ein Rückstellvermögen ≦ 5 % aufweist. Ein solches Abdeckmaterial ist bislang nicht in Verbindung mit einer First- oder Gratabdeckung eingesetzt worden. Ferner fehlen dabei Vorkehrungen zur Dachraumentlüftung.It is known to use plastically deformable covering material for covering or covering cracks, joints, gaps, openings, transitions and the like at water-bearing points on buildings, roofs and their parts (DE-OS 36 42 063). This sheet, sheet or strip-shaped cover material, which can be deformed by hand even at low temperatures, consists of a polyisobutylene substrate in which an expanded metal grid is embedded, which has an extensibility of 50 to 150% in the longitudinal direction, an extensibility ≦ 20% in the transverse direction and that resilience vermögen 5%. Such a cover material has not previously been used in conjunction with a ridge or ridge cover. There are also no precautions for roof ventilation.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen des Dichtungsstreifens nach der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous refinements and developments of the sealing strip according to the invention result from the subclaims.

Obwohl es ausreicht, das Streckmetallgitter nur in den beiden Seitenstreifen vorzusehen und den Mittelstreifen lediglich aus dem Vlies zu bilden, ist nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform vorgesehen, daß das Streckmetallgitter auch den Mittelstreifen überbrückt und einstückig ausgebildet ist, wodurch sich eine noch größere Sicherheit bei der Befestigung des Dichtungsstreifens an einer First- oder Gratbohle erzielen läßt.Although it is sufficient to provide the expanded metal mesh only in the two side strips and to form the central strip only from the fleece, it is provided according to a preferred embodiment that the expanded metal mesh also bridges the central strip and is formed in one piece, which results in an even greater security when fastening the sealing strip can be achieved on a ridge or ridge plank.

In einfacher Weise läßt sich eine dauerhafte Verbindung zwischen dem Vlies des Mittelstreifens und den Polyisobutylen-Folienstreifen der Seitenstreifen erzielen, wenn das Vlies an seinen Längsrändern überlappend mit dem jeweils inneren Längsrand des Polyisobutylen-Folienstreifens eines Seitenstreifens verklebt ist.A permanent connection between the fleece of the central strip and the polyisobutylene film strips of the side strips can be achieved in a simple manner if the fleece is glued overlapping on its longitudinal edges to the respective inner longitudinal edge of the polyisobutylene film strip of a side strip.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind die Seitenstreifen an ihren freien Längsrändern an der auf den Dacheindeckungsplatten zur Auflage kommenden Unterseite mit einer durch eine abziehbare Schutzfolie abgedeckten Selbstklebeschicht versehen. Als Selbstklebeschicht kommen verschiedene bekannte Gummi- oder Kunststoffmassen, wie beispielsweise weicher Butylkautschuk, in Betracht. Über diese zusätzliche Klebeschicht, die in Form eines Bandes oder Streifens vorgesehen sein kann, wird nach dem Entfernen der Schutzfolie und Andrücken der Seitenstreifen an die Oberseite der Dacheindeckungsplatten, durch Verkleben eine zusätzliche Abdichtung in diesem Bereich erzielt.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the side strips are provided on their free longitudinal edges on the underside which is to be placed on the roof covering panels with a self-adhesive layer covered by a removable protective film. Various known rubber or plastic materials, such as soft butyl rubber, come into consideration as self-adhesive layers. This additional adhesive layer, which can be provided in the form of a tape or strip, provides an additional seal in this area after the protective film has been removed and the side strips pressed against the top of the roofing panels.

Das Vlies besteht vorzugsweise aus wetterbeständigen Kunstfasern und weist eine Luftdurchlässigkeit von wenigstens 1 m³.s⁻¹.m⁻² auf, um eine gute Ent- und Belüftung des Dachinnenraumes über den First oder Grat her zu gewährleisten.The fleece preferably consists of weather-resistant synthetic fibers and has an air permeability of at least 1 m³.s⁻¹.m⁻² in order to ensure good ventilation of the roof interior via the ridge or ridge.

Gut geeignet ist ein Vlies aus Polypropylenfasern mit einem Flächengewicht von 20 bis 200 g/m², insbesondere 60 g/m². Ein solches Vlies ist wetter- und alkalibeständig und weist eine ausreichende Beständigkeit auf, um den Dichtungsstreifen über den Mittelstreifen an der First- oder Gratbohle zu befestigen.A nonwoven made of polypropylene fibers with a basis weight of 20 to 200 g / m², in particular 60 g / m², is particularly suitable. Such a fleece is weather and alkali resistant and has sufficient resistance to attach the sealing strip over the median strip to the ridge or ridge plank.

Das Streckmetallgitter dient in erster Linie als Verstärkungselement für Seitenstreifen und gewährleistet deren plastische Verformbarkeit. Die hohe Dehnbarkeit in Längsrichtung der Seitenstreifen erlaubt auch eine gute Anpassung an Dacheindeckungsplatten mit komplexen dreidimensionalen Formen. Durch die vergleichsweise geringe Dehnbarkeit in Querrichtung wird erreicht, daß auch saubere und weitgehend gerade Längsränder entstehen. Als Material für das Streckmetallgitter kommen nichtrostende Metalle, insbesondere Aluminium und Blei in Betracht. Besonders vorteilhaft ist ein Streckmetallgitter, das aus an sich weichem, nach dem Strecken zusätzlich weichgeglühtem Aluminium besteht. Ein solches Streckmetallgitter weist praktisch keine Rückstellkräfte auf. Je nach gewünschter Dehnbarkeit, kann das Streckmetallgitter eine Materialdicke und eine Stegbreite von 0,3 bis 1,5 mm, eine Maschenlänge von 4 bis 20 mm und eine Maschenbreite von 2 bis 15 mm aufweisen. Dieses Streckmetallgitter weist vorzugsweise eine Zugfestigkeit in Längsrichtung von 10 bis 80 N/cm und eine Zugfestigkeit in Querrichtung ≧ 100 N/cm auf.The expanded metal grid primarily serves as a reinforcement element for side strips and ensures their plastic deformability. The high extensibility in the longitudinal direction of the side strips also allows a good adaptation to roofing slabs with complex three-dimensional shapes. The comparatively low extensibility in the transverse direction ensures that clean and largely straight longitudinal edges are also produced. Rustproof metals, in particular aluminum and lead, are suitable as the material for the expanded metal grid. An expanded metal grid is particularly advantageous, which consists of aluminum which is soft per se and additionally annealed after stretching. Such an expanded metal grid has practically no restoring forces. Depending on the desired extensibility, the expanded metal mesh can have a material thickness and a web width of 0.3 to 1.5 mm, a mesh length of 4 to 20 mm and a mesh width of 2 to 15 mm. This expanded metal mesh preferably has a tensile strength in the longitudinal direction of 10 to 80 N / cm and a tensile strength in the transverse direction richtung 100 N / cm.

Für die Seitenstreifen wird vorzugsweise ein in dem für die Anwendung relevanten Temperaturbereich nicht-klebendes Polyisobutylen-Folienmaterial vorgesehen, das die üblichen Zusätze wie Antioxidantien, UV-Absorber, farbgebende Pigmente, anorganische Füllstoffe und dergleichen enthalten kann. Das Polyisobutylen-Folienmaterial weist vorzugsweise eine Zugfestigkeit ≦ 10 N/mm und eine Dehnbarkeit ≧ 50 % auf. Bei solchen mechanischen Werten wird auch bei einem Abknicken ein Brechen oder Reißen des Folienmaterials vermieden.For the side strips, a non-adhesive polyisobutylene film material is preferably provided in the temperature range relevant to the application, which can contain the usual additives such as antioxidants, UV absorbers, color pigments, inorganic fillers and the like. The polyisobutylene film material preferably has a tensile strength ≦ 10 N / mm and an extensibility ≧ 50%. With such mechanical values, breaking or tearing of the film material is avoided even when it is kinked.

Beispielsweise kann das Polyisobutylen-Folienmaterial aus einer Mischung nachstehender Stoffe bestehen, nämlich:

100 Gew.-Teile
Polyisobutylen mit einem mittleren Molekulargewicht von 1,3 x 10⁶;
50 bis 80 Gew.-Teile
Polyisobutylen mit einem mittleren Molekulargewicht von etwa 0,4 x 10⁶;
1 bis 2 Gew.-Teile
nichtfärbende Antioxidantien;
1 bis 4 Gew.-Teile
nichtfärbender UV-Absorber;
20 bis 60 Gew.-Teile
farbgebende Pigmente; und
100 bis 130 Gew.-Teile
ungecoatete, amorphe Kreide.
For example, the polyisobutylene film material can consist of a mixture of the following substances, namely:
100 parts by weight
Polyisobutylene with an average molecular weight of 1.3 x 10⁶;
50 to 80 parts by weight
Polyisobutylene with an average molecular weight of about 0.4 x 10⁶;
1 to 2 parts by weight
non-coloring antioxidants;
1 to 4 parts by weight
non-coloring UV absorber;
20 to 60 parts by weight
coloring pigments; and
100 to 130 parts by weight
uncoated, amorphous chalk.

Für den Dichtungsstreifen kann vorzugsweise eine Breite von etwa 200 bis 300 mm vorgesehen werden. Je nach der Breite der am First oder Grat verwendeten Abdeckkappen haben sich in der Praxis insbesondere Dichtungsstreifen mit einer Breite von 230 und 275 mm bewährt. Dabei wird für die Seitenstreifen jeweils eine Breite von etwa 60 bis 90 mm, insbesondere 75 mm, vorgesehen. Das Streckmetallgitter ist im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite der Seitenstreifen im Polyisobutylen-Folienmaterial eingebettet. Die Schichtdicke der Seitenstreifen beträgt etwa 1,5 bis 2,5 mm; beispielsweise kann das Streckmetallgitter zwischen zwei ca. 0,7 mm dicken Polyisobutylen-Folienstreifen einkaschiert werden, so daß die Folienstreifen durch die Maschen des Streckmetallgitters hindurch miteinander verbunden sind.A width of approximately 200 to 300 mm can preferably be provided for the sealing strip. Depending on the width of the cover caps used on the ridge or ridge, in particular sealing strips with a width of 230 and 275 mm have proven their worth. A width of about 60 to 90 mm, in particular 75 mm, is provided for each of the side strips. The expanded metal mesh is embedded in the polyisobutylene film material essentially over the entire width of the side strips. The layer thickness of the side strips is approximately 1.5 to 2.5 mm; For example, the expanded metal grid can be laminated between two approximately 0.7 mm thick polyisobutylene film strips, so that the film strips are connected to one another through the mesh of the expanded metal grid.

Solche Dichtungsstreifen werden vorzugsweise in einer Länge von ca. 10 m gefertigt und in Form von Rollen angeliefert. Um während der Lagerung und des Transportes ein zu starkes Aneinanderhaften von benachbartem Polyisobutylen-Folienmaterial zu verhindern, kann jeder Seitenstreifen einseitig mit einer abziehbaren Schutzschicht abgedeckt sein. Entsprechende Rollen weisen maximal ein Gewicht von etwa 5 kg auf, sind leicht zu lagern und zu transportieren und auch unter erschwerten Bedingungen am Schrägdach leicht zu handhaben und anzubringen. Die Rollen werden über der First- oder Gratbohle ausgerollt und darauf mit Nägeln oder dergleichen befestigt. Damit wird eine optimale, handwerksgerechte Lösung zur Abdichtung des First- oder Gratbereiches am Schrägdach erreicht.Such sealing strips are preferably made in a length of about 10 m and delivered in the form of rolls. In order to prevent adjacent polyisobutylene film material from adhering too strongly to one another during storage and transport, each side strip can be covered on one side with a removable protective layer. Corresponding roles have a maximum weight of about 5 kg, are easy to store and transport and easy to handle even under difficult conditions on the sloping roof and attach. The rolls are rolled out over the ridge or ridge plank and fastened thereon with nails or the like. This provides an optimal, handcraft-friendly solution for sealing the ridge or ridge area on the sloping roof.
