BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a decorative material for a building wall, and more
particularly, to a decorative material for a building wall, which is prefabricated
by adhering unit parts to a base board with an adhesive material without being directly
fabricated in a construction site and then is installed on the surface of the building
wall in the construction site, thereby providing the building wall with a beautiful
and eco-friendly decoration.
Background Art
[0002] In general, stone panels made of bricks, granite, or marble are widely used as decorative
materials for external masonry of a building, but such stone panels were constructed
on building walls by pouring cement or mortar onto the stone panels and the building
walls because the stone panels are weak in tensile strength. However, nowadays, in
order to enhance durability of stone boards, the trend is that the dry system or drywall
fixing using dry decoration fixtures which are easily constructable is used.
[0003] However, in the case that external walls of a building are constructed using the
stone panels made of granite or marble as the decorative materials, it has several
problems in that it is difficult to construct due to their heavy weight, in that it
takes a long time to construct, in that the building may have cracks in the external
walls even by the slightest mistakes due to excessive load acting even after the construction
and it may cause reconstruction, and in that expensive construction costs are required
because the stone panels, which are decorations, are high-priced.
[0004] Moreover, in the case that interior and exterior walls of the building are constructed
through the above construction method, only engineers, with years of experiences and
technologies, can do the construction, and hence, it is very difficult to supply and
demand technical professionals.
[0005] Furthermore, recently, because renovation of buildings according to consumers' tastes
has been on the rise, a method of constructing decorative materials, which can provide
a neat outward appearance of interior and exterior walls of a building in various
ways without needing excessive expenses, is required.
[0006] As one of various decorations for the exterior or interior walls, recently, roof
tiles to show a natural figure have been used.
[0007] The roof tile decoration is made through the steps of splitting roof tiles into a
plurality of small pieces, installing a base frame on the surface of a wall, on which
the roof tile pieces will be decorated, and piling up the roof tile pieces in order
from the lower portion of the inside of the base frame. In this instance, when the
roof tile pieces are piled up, they are fixed on the surface of the building wall
in a state where mortar is stained on end portions of the roof tile pieces.
[0008] However, such a method has several problems in that it takes a great deal of time
and effort and the shape of the roof tile decoration may be varied according to worker's
skills and techniques because the roof tile pieces must be made and piled up in the
construction site one by one depending on situations of the construction site.
[0009] Moreover, such a method has other problems in that it cannot provide a harmonious
feeling and may fail to satisfy the esthetic sense because different workers make
different and irregular patterns.
[0010] Furthermore, in the case that the roof tile decorations are made in the construction
site, various patterns cannot be made under circumstances or conditions of the construction
site, and most of the roof tile decorations are a rainbow pattern formed by piling
up the roof tile pieces.
[0011] Accordingly, the construction method of making the roof tile decoration in the construction
site has the above problems in that construction costs are increased because it takes
a lot of time and manpower and a construction period is also increased.
[0012] In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems, the inventor of the present invention
had filed a Korean patent application entitled 'Structure and construction method
of fixing a base board to a building wall', wherein a plurality of roof tile pieces
are previously adhered to the base board and the base board to which the roof tile
pieces are adhered is fixed to the building wall. However, the construction method
has a problem in that it cannot create a beautiful appearance of the building wall
because an adhesive material made of silicon or epoxy is exposed to the outside when
the roof tile pieces are adhered to the base board.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0013] Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems
occurring in the prior arts, and it is an object of the present invention to provide
a decorative material for a building wall, which can provide a high quality of a product
because a plurality of unit parts made of roof tiles, tiles or others are previously
adhered to a base board, such as a marble board or a roof tile board, in such a way
that an adhesive material is not exposed to the outside.
[0014] To accomplish the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided
a decorative material of a building wall including: a plurality of semicircular unit
parts made of one of roof tiles, tiles, bricks, stones, marble, wood, and plastics;
and a rectangular base board, to which the unit parts are adhered in a certain pattern,
wherein each of the semicircular unit parts has grooves formed at both ends thereof,
and are adhered to the base board after an adhesive material is put into the grooves
of the unit parts.
[0015] Alternatively, not the unit parts but the base board has grooves for putting the
adhesive material thereinto, and the unit parts are fixed to the base board after
the adhesive material is put into the grooves of the base board.
[0016] As described above, the decorative material of the building wall can provide a beautiful
appearance to the building wall when it is constructed on the building wall because
the unit parts, such as roof tile pieces, are adhered to the base board in such a
way that the adhesive material made of silicon or epoxy is not exposed to the outside.
[0017] Moreover, the present invention can express various kinds of patterns because various
materials, such as roof tiles, tiles, bricks, marble, wood, and so on, can be used.

[0029] It will be understood that words or terms used in the specification and claims shall
not be interpreted as the meaning defined in commonly used dictionaries. It will be
further understood that the words or terms should be interpreted as having a meaning
that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the technical
idea of the invention, based on the principle that an inventor may properly define
the meaning of the words or terms to best explain the invention.
[0030] In order to overcome the problems of the prior arts that it takes much time and construction
costs are increased because the roof tile decorations are directly installed on the
building wall in the construction site and that the esthetic sense is deteriorated
due to the irregular patterns of the roof tile decorations, the present invention
provides a construction of a building wall, which can form even patterns that are
difficult to be made in the construction site, and which is just installed on the
surface of a building wall in the construction site after being prefabricated.
[0031] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the decorative material of the building wall according
to the present invention has a structure that a plurality of semicircular unit parts
10 are adhered to a rectangular base board 20 in such a way as to have various patterns.
[0032] In this instance, each of the semicircular unit parts 10 has grooves 11 formed at
both ends thereof, and the unit parts 10 are adhered to the base board 20 after an
adhesive material 30 is put into the grooves 11 of each unit part 10.
[0033] Particularly, each of the grooves 11, to which the adhesive material 30 is put, has
a stepped groove 111 formed in the inner face thereof, and hence, the adhesive material
30 is not exposed to the outside but inserted into the stepped groove 111.
[0034] The adhesive material 30 may be made of silicon or epoxy, and the unit parts 10 may
be made of one of roof tiles, tiles, bricks, stones, marble, wood, plastics, glass,
steel, and so on.
[0035] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrating another preferred embodiment of the present
invention, each of the semicircular unit parts 10 has an arc-shaped groove 12 that
is formed in a lower portion thereof and has a stepped groove 121 therein. The arc-shaped
grooves 12 of the unit parts 10 are coated with the adhesive material 30, and then,
the unit parts 10 are adhered to the base board 20 in various patterns.
[0036] Furthermore, as a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, not the
unit parts 10 but the base board 20 has grooves 21 for putting the adhesive material
30 thereinto to thereby adhere and fix the unit parts 10 to the base board 20.
[0037] In other words, referring to FIGS. 8 to 10, the base board 20 has the grooves 21
and arc-shaped grooves 22, which are coated with the adhesive material 30, and a plurality
of the unit parts 10 are mounted on the base board 20 in such a way that both end
portions or the lower end portions of each unit part 10 are inserted and fixed into
the grooves 21 of the base board 20, whereby the decorative material of the building
wall according to the present invention can provide a high quality and a beautiful
appearance because the adhesive material is not exposed to the outside.
