Description
"An insulated cladding svstem" This invention relates to an insulated cladding system for a chill store building to provide a thermally insulated enclosure within which the temperature can be readily easily and efficiently controlled.
The invention particularly relates to buildings constructed for use as chill stores within which the temperature is typically maintained in the region 3"C to 15"C. In a known system, a support structure is built on site. This is then covered with an inner liner formed by a plurality of thin metal sheets. Glass fibre insulation is then mounted on an exterior of the liner and then an outer weather skin formed by a plurality of metal sheets is mounted outside the insulation. As this whole system is essentially assembled on site from component parts, the construction is time consuming and expensive. Further, condensation collects between the liner and the weather skin leading to corrosion of the liner and the weather skin and also to deterioration of the insulation and hence thermal performance of the construction.This leads to relatively high running costs for maintaining the required temperature environment within the building and relatively high maintenance costs due to corrosion. This type of system is also of pervious construction and consequently allows air leakage through the walls and roof which results in unreliable temperature control and risk of damage to goods stored within the building. Using this type of construction, it is necessary to incorporate an additional enclosure within the building to act as a chill store. This adds to the construction expense and also reduces the storage space within the building.
The present invention is directed towards overcoming these problems and in particular to providing a one step construction solution which provides long term thermal performance reliability at minimum cost. It is also an object of the invention to reduce the capital expenditure and the operating costs of the mechanical and electrical temperature control equipment for chill store buildings.
According to the invention there is provided an insulated cladding system for a chill store building, comprising
a number of insulation panels mounted on a support
structure to form a roof and/or a wall of a chill
store building;
side edge sealing means for sealing the joint
between side edges of adjacent panels to
substantially seal the side edge joints against
cold bridging and air leakage; and
end edge sealing means for sealing the joint
between end edges of adjacent panels to
substantially seal the end edge joints against
cold bridging and air leakage.
In one embodiment of the invention, the side edge sealing means has a cavity seal mounted between side faces of adjacent panels.
Preferably, the side edge sealing means has a cavity seal mounted between side faces of adjacent panels.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cavity seal is a water seal. Conveniently, the cavity seal comprises a strip of closed cell air impervious PVC foam.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, the cavity seal is attached to one side face of each panel. In an alternative arrangement, the cavity seal may be provided as a separate unit for mounting between the side faces of adjacent panels upon construction of the building.
In another embodiment, the side edge sealing means has an outer weather seal mounted adjacent outer faces of the panels.
In another embodiment, the outer weather seal is of Ushaped cross section. Preferably, the outer weather seal is a strip of butyl rubber material.
In a further embodiment, the side edge sealing means has an inner vapour seal mounted adjacent inner faces of the panels.
In another embodiment, the inner vapour seal is of Ushaped cross section. Preferably, the inner vapour seal is a strip of butyl rubber material.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the end edge sealing means has a cavity seal mounted between end faces of adjacent panels.
In another embodiment, the end edge sealing means has a cavity seal mounted between end faces of adjacent panels.
The cavity seal preferably comprises a compressible PVC sealant which is advantageously in tape form.
In a further embodiment, the end edge sealing means has an outer weather seal mounted adjacent outer faces of the panels. Conveniently, the outer weather seal may comprise two spaced-apart strips of air impervious sealing material. Ideally, the sealing material is butyl rubber.
In another embodiment, the end edge sealing means has an inner vapour seal mounted adjacent inner faces of the panels. Preferably, the inner vapour seal overlies each panel extending across the joint between the panels. The inner vapour seal may be U-shaped in cross section.
Ideally, the inner vapour seal is a strip of butyl rubber material.
Preferably, a panel to support seal is provided between each panel and the support structure.
In a further embodiment, each panel is mounted on the support structure by means of mounting bolts, a panel to support seal means being provided between each mounting bolt and the panel.
Conveniently, one or more of the seals may be attached to each panel. In an alternative arrangement, one or more of the seals may be in tape form for application to the panels during construction of the building.
The panels may conveniently be inter-engageable by any suitable means. Alternatively, the panels may simply abut edge to edge on the support structure.
Ideally, each panel comprises an insulation core of foam material mounted between an outer metal cover and an inner metal liner.
In another aspect, the invention provides an insulation panel for a cladding system as previously described, the insulation panel having a seal extending along at least one side edge of the panel for sealing engagement with a complementary panel.
The invention also provides a chill store building having an insulated cladding system of the invention.
The invention will be more clearly understood by the following description of some embodiments thereof, given by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a sectional plan view through a number of
panels forming portion of an insulated cladding
system according to the invention, the panels forming
portion of a wall of a chill store building;
Fig. 2 is a detail sectional plan view showing a side
edge sealing arrangement between side edges of
adjacent panels in the wall;

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 3 showing an
alternative end edge sealing arrangement;
Fig. 7 is a detail sectional plan view showing the
mounting of the panels on portion of a support
structure; and
Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a partially
constructed chill store building incorporating the
cladding system.
Referring to the drawings, and initially to Figs. 1 to 4 thereof, an insulated cladding system according to the invention will be described. The system comprises a number of insulation panels 10 mounted edge to edge on a support structure 2 (Fig. 8) to form a roof 3 and walls 4 of a chill store building 5, each of the roof and walls being formed by a matrix of insulation panels 10. Side edge sealing means indicated generally at 15 (Fig. 2) is provided for sealing between side edges of adjacent panels 10. End edge sealing means, indicated generally by the reference numeral 16 (Fig. 3) is provided for sealing between end edges of adjacent panels.
Referring to Fig. 2, the side edge sealing means 15 has a cavity seal 20 which in this case is formed by a closed cell PVC foam water seal which is factory applied to one end edge 21 of each panel 10. An outer weather seal 24 is mounted between an outer face 25 of one panel 10 and an inner face of a complementary engagement flange 26 on the other panel 10. This outer seal 24 is formed bv a bead of
SellotapeJ"U" section 0311 butyl rubber sealing tape.
An inner vapour seal 30 is mounted between inner side edaes of the Panels 10. The inner vapour seal 30 is
formed by a bead of Sellotdpel0311 butyl rubber sealing tape.
It will be noted that the outer weather seal 24 and inner vapour seal 30 are each formed by unbroken beads of sealing tape which extend the full height of the wall formed by the panels. These seals 24, 30 are readily easily mounted on the panels during construction of the building.
Referring to Fig. 3, two panels 10 are shown mounted one above the other. A cavity seal 35 is mounted between a top end face 36 of the lower panel 10 and a bottom end face 37 of the upper panel 10. In this case, the cavity seal 35 comprises a compressible PVC sealant tape.
It will be noted that an outer cover 38 of the upper panel 10 extends downwardly below the lower edge 37 of the panel overlapping an upper end of the lower panel 10. Mounted between an inner face of the outer cover 38 and the outer face 39 of the lower panel 10 is a weather seal which in this case comDrises a nair of snaced-anart striPs 40 of
Sellotape Mbvutyl rubber sealing tape. It will be noted that these strips 40 run along the full length of the wall.
An inner vapour seal 42 overlies the inner faces 43 of the panels 10 extending across the joint between the panels 10. In this case. the vaDour seal 42 is formed bv a striD
of Sellotapel"U" section butyl rubber sealing tape which again runs the full length of the wall formed by the panels 10. It will be noted that the seal 42 is interposed between the panels 10 and a mounting rail 45 forming portion of the support structure on which the panels 10 are mounted. Mounting bolts 48 extend through the panels 10 to secure the panels 10 on the support structure. Preferably, each mounting bolt 48 is of stainless steel and a sealing washer is provided to seal between each mounting bolt 48 and the panel 10 to which it is attached.
Referring to Fig. 4, the roof construction of the building is shown. In this case, the roof is formed by a single row of panels 10 each of which extends between a central ridge and the eaves or a valley in the roof. The sealing of the side edges between adjacent panels is similar to the sealing arrangement described for the wall panels with reference to Fig. 2. The external void formed at the panel ends is filled with mineral wool insulation 50 or insulation slab. Ridge flashing comprises factory applied polyisocyanurate board flashing sealed with two runs of
EPDM foam fillers 52 fully sealed with silicone sealant.
Internal ridge flashing 54 applied to an underside of the Danels ~lO~is sealed with each panel 10 by means of
SellotapeL"U" section 0311 butyl rubber sealing tape rr.
Referring now to Fig. 5, there is shown an alternative sealing arrangement which is generally similar to the sealing arrangement in Fig. 2 and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals. In this case, the panel joint is also fire sealed bv means of an unbroken bead 60
of Nullifire 2703 sealant.
Fig. 6 shows an alternative sealing arrangement which is generally similar to the sealing arrangement shown in Fig.
3 and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals.
Tn this case. the panel ,oint is also fire sealed bv two
runs 65 of NullifiregM703 sealant.
Fig. 7 shows a construction arrangement of a support column for the panels 10.
It will be appreciated that the insulated cladding system of the invention provides a one step construction solution for a chill store building. A building to provide a chill store or other temperature controlled environment can be readily easily and quickly constructed on site from factory prepared components. Because of the improved sealing arrangement of the system it is not necessary to construct a second enclosure within the building to act as the chill store. Thus advantageously the capital expenditure in construction and the running costs for the chill store are reduced. Further there is a greater area within the building available for storage of goods.
The insulated cladding system of the invention provides a combined weather and thermal envelope construction because the side edge sealing and end edge sealing substantially eliminate thermal/cold bridges and the risk of condensation. The sealing minimise air leakage at the joints making the overall design suitable for low temperature internal building applications.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in both construction and detail.
