DESCRIPTION LOCKED CLADDING METHOD Technical Field

The invention relates to a cladding method developed to eliminate problems resulting from plaster crack as well as heat loss and heat bridge that (wall) fixing plug forms in reverse direction on heat insulation point in building cladding systems made for energy efficiency.

The invention particularly relates to cutting of polystyrene plates, which are used in building cladding systems realized for energy efficiency, in a special form as well as removing a part from above thereof, placing this part which was cut during the mounting into a specially formed channel from where it was cut before and confinement of the fixing element, preferably a fixing plug, used in the mounting into the polystyrene plate.

Background of the Invention

At the present day, studies performed on energy efficiency and energy saving show that heat insulation in buildings enables a great saving compared to non-isolated buildings. Today, in exterior wall insulations made in our country and in the world, the best cladding systems that are valid and common are the ones made by using EPS (Expanded Polystyrene Foam) and XPS (Extrusioned Polystyrene Foam). As known, the most robust system preferred in cladding processes on the buildings are fixing plugged cladding system, being the most known, the most common and the most applied model. However, in this fixing plugged cladding method, due to the fixing plug's creating heat bridge and heat losses, the requested ideal result may not be obtained. There has been reached no required result in studies realized in order to eliminate this.

Another disadvantage of this method is stresses on the plaster and hair cracks formed as a result of weather conditions. Moreover, the fixing plugs coming loose owing to the building movements cause cracks on the plaster. Thus, water and moisture moving through the cracks until the back of the polystyrene give unrecoverable harms to the cladding. In the present cladding systems, polystyrene layer sticked onto the wall is fixed with a fixing plug. Afterwards, the fixing plugs and polystyrene are covered with plaster mortar and net. The common problems of such kinds of cladding systems are as follows:

> As a result of the cracks appearing due to the expansion difference of the fixing plug and the polystyrene, water causes plaster outside the polystyrene to fall by penetrating from the crack plaster, causes all cladding system to fall by means of the fixing plug by penetrating deeper into the cladding and causes moisture inside the building as well as unrecoverable harms.

The fixing plug in connection with the external plaster causes the leaking water to freeze in winter and deformation of the cladding by using the fixing plug as a bridge after the formations of the cracks on the wall and causes moisture from inside in other times.

The third and the most important issue is that the fixing plug which is required for the robustness of the mounting in the present system causes heat bridge and heat loss on heat insulation point in reverse direction and decreases insulation efficiency and quality. In order not to encounter such and suchlike unwanted results in the cladding, insulation material under the plaster must be produced from a robustly mounting and one and only raw material. Accordingly, it must be enabled that the fixing plug contacts to exterior plaster and exterior heat in no way. Patent with application number 2011/06647 relates to a wall fixing plug structuring enabling the fixation of the heat insulation layers such as polystyrene onto the wall surfaces characterized in that it comprises a holding cap having an under body and nailing ended bearing formed above the under body and this holding cap and a nail piercing into the wall at the end of high pressure by an air/gas/powder driven gun by means of said nailing ended bearing.

Utility model with application number 20 1/09256 relates to a block panel developed to be used in coating/cladding processes made for building frontage insulation. It is designed so that male side of a frame will grasp female side and it has been rendered into a one-piece block panel by placing a decoration material to outer surface and insulation plate to inner surface of the frame. Utility model with application number 2007/00519 is a novelty in polystyrene blocks enabling heat insulation. The invention is a polystyrene block comprising at least two polystyrene panels and at least one middle covering to connect said panels to each other characterized in that it comprises at least one pair of middle covering settlement channels formed to be the only part of the panel on said polystyrene panels and a middle covering placed in said channels from both ends to connect the two panels to each other.

Consequently, development for building cladding systems for energy efficiency is sought and, thus, new embodiments to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and bring solutions to present systems are required.

Object of the Invention

Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the locked cladding system of the invention is explained for a better understanding of the subject by creating no restrictive effect.

The invention relates to cutting of polystyrene plates, which are used in building cladding systems realized for energy efficiency, in a special form as well as removing a part from above thereof, placing this part cut during the mounting into a specially formed channel from where it was cut before and confinement of the fixing element (1), preferably a wall fixing plug, used in the mounting into the polystyrene plate.

The fixing plug (1) seen in Figure 1 is the part used to enable resistance against the adherence (shear stress that different materials exert on each other) and used for polystyrene base heat insulation plates such as XPS and EPS can be fixed onto the brick or concrete surfaces. The fixing plug (1) used in cladding system is nailed with close fit into the holes opened reciprocally between heat insulation plates such as XPS and EPS and building surface, thereby fixation of the heat insulation plates are done.

The fixing element (fixing plug) expansion channel (2), seen in Figure 1 , is a channel left to eliminate the stress that said fixing plug (1) which is confined into the locked cladding system can make on XPS or EPS heat insulation plate surrounding it as a result of expansion and movement resulting from movements or het change.

The liquid acrylic channel (3), seen in Figure 1 , is a channel where the whole surface between the envelope (5) and cladding locking part (4) (except for the fixing plug head expansion channel (2)) is filled with liquid acrylic or an equivalent adhesive. Thus, in the system made by using XPS or EPS heat insulation plate, literally full sticking of the heat insulation plate, made of the same material, and the cladding locking part (4) to each other is enabled. Thanks to this sticking, communication of the fluid, moisture and heat transfer emitted due to the structure of the plaster or plaster crack of the channels inside the locked cladding system into the channel is completely prevented.

The cladding locking part (4), seen in Figure 1 , is a part which is cut from above the envelope in a particular form and replaced into the channel where it was cut from during the cladding and enables the confinement of the fixing plug between the polystyrene and the channel.

The envelope (5), seen in Figure 1 , is polystyrene plates which are named as XPS & EPS, are foam structured and raw materials of which are polystyrene. The surface plaster (6) on the exterior of the envelope, seen in Figure 1 ; cement based surface plaster mortar, netted and equivalent plaster; is acrylic based tension plaster, or an equivalent plaster, made with special machines in factory environment onto the heat insulation plates. The adhesive (7), seen in Figure 1 , is a cement based adhesive and its equivalent adhesive mortar used so that the back surfaces of the plates applied onto the heat insulation plates can be sticked onto the surfaces such as brick, concrete etc.

The building construction material (8), seen in Figure 1 , is surfaces such as brick, concrete etc. forming the structure of the constructions. / As may be seen from the Figure 1 , cladding locking part (4) is removed by cutting in a particular form from above the envelope (5). The envelope (5) is placed by sticking by applying an adhesive (7) onto the construction building material (8). The fixing plug (1) is nailed with close fit into the holes on the envelope (5) and building construction material (8) as the head of the fixing plug meets fixing plug head expansion channel (2). The cladding locking part (4) is placed into a specially formed channel on the envelope (5). The liquid acrylic channel (3) standing between the envelope (5) and the cladding locking part (4) is filled with liquid acrylic or its equivalent (6) fluid adhesive. The exterior surface of the envelope (5) is applied cement based and netted plaster mortar, or acrylic based plaster made in factory environment with special machines and its equivalent plasters (6).
