Structural infill wall panel module

摘要

A facade/wall system comprises a number of modules. Each module comprises a plurality of insulating panels which have connection means on opposite sides thereof for interengaging the panels together at joints between the panels. Reinforcing elements in the form of top hat sections bridge the joints between adjacent panels. The top hat reinforcement elements used to interconnect adjacent panels in a module ensure that the composite panels act together as monolithic structure that creates a diaphragm while providing a surface to which cladding can be fixed and also providing a cavity between the panels and the cladding attached to the modules. They stiffen the panels and thereby enhance resistance to deflection. The system is cost effective and relatively easy and quick to install.

1. A structural infill wall panel module for mounting to a frame of a building, the module comprising:—
a plurality of composite insulating panels; the panels comprising an external sheet, an internal lining sheet, and an insulating core between the external sheet and the internal sheet, the external sheet and the internal sheet having profiled connection parts, the profiled connection parts of the external sheets of adjacent panels being interengagable and the connection parts of the internal sheets of adjacent panels being interengagable at the joint between adjacent panels; external reinforcing elements mounted to the external sheets and bridging the joint between adjacent panels; internal reinforcing elements mounted to the internal sheets and bridging the joint between adjacent panels; and mounting brackets for attachment to an element of a building; wherein the mounting brackets comprise an upper mounting bracket and a lower mounting bracket for attachment to upper and lower elements of a building.
