    Description

    Subject of the Invention



    [0001] The present invention relates to a product to be used on the outer sidings of the buildings, providing heat insulation, possible to be applied without profile and providing a tile-covered facade as its apparent front surface is tile.

    State of the Art



    [0002] In the embodiments according to the state of the art, such as disclosed in DE 197 37 894 A1, GB 2 251 008 A and DE 35 12 188 A1, when the similar siding materials are used in the building facades, curtain walls are created by using ceramic plate, aluminum plate derivatives or other siding materials by means of profiled mounting method on condition that the gap that the profile has created will be covered with a heat insulation material or curtain walls are created by means of providing exterior thermal sheating by using heat insulation material, plaster, last layer covering plaster and external wall paint and at the same time heat insulation is provided.

    [0003] As it wastes time to obtain the materials to be used for insulation in the embodiments according to the state of art one by one and to mount them during the application in the building site, it also causes some quality problems and additional costs along with some functional loss.

    Description of the Invention



    [0006] The present invention is defined by the technical features of appended claim 1 and relates to a product to be used on the outer sidings of buildings, providing heat insulation, possible to be applied without profile and providing a tile-covered facade as its apparent front surface is tile.

    [0007] Thanks to the product according to the present invention, it has been ended that different materials are mounted one by one after having been obtained for providing insulation for the buildings and therefore building heat insulation is provided by means of only one single product, moreover although it is mounted without using profile, an outer siding having a longer physical life than that of a building is made possible as the apparent outer siding is made of ceramic or other materials that can be used on outer sidings of the buildings. The product according to the present invention basically comprises a combination of an insulation material (2) and tile (1). When a ceramic tile is used in the product of the present invention, it will be possible for the ceramic to be used in different sizes and colors, which will pave the way for flexible facade designs. However, the present invention should not be limited with using only ceramic tile. The tile (1) that is located on the outer front facade of the product may be made of not only ceramic, but also of different outer siding materials such as plastics, wooden, glass, metal, aluminum, aluminum composite, granite, natural stone, marble, laminate, vinyl, pressed brick, particle board, composite materials or any other material which can be used in the outer siding of buildings and moreover these materials can also be used within the present invention.

    [0008] Although the product (5) of the present invention has less thickness than the used products in the present state of art, it can provide heat insulation which is normally provided by using several materials. As it is mentioned above, the product of the present invention comprises a combination of an insulation material (2) and tile (1). All the layers of the product (5) are shown in Figure 1. The tile

    (1) is located on the outer front surface of the product (5), and as it is stated above, within the present invention, it is possible for the tiles made of not only ceramic, but also of different outer siding materials to be used on the outer front surface of the product. The product (5) comprises a polyurethane-based insulation material (2) having B1-Class fire resistance at the back of the tile, surrounding wall (3) which surrounds the insulation material and a mounting net (4) on the back surface. The surrounding wall (3) can be made of cement, clay, ceramic, brick, plastics, particle board or metallic materials. The mounting net (4) can be made of alkali resistant glass or plastics.



    [0009] While the front surface of the surrounding wall (3) is open, all its other surfaces and edges are closed. The insulation material (2) is located within the surrounding wall (3) and so the open surface becomes now the insulation material. After the insulation material (2) has been located into it, the open outer front surface of the surrounding wall (3) will be closed by sticking the tile (1) onto the insulation material (2). The tile (1) is fixed onto the surface of the insulation material (2) by means of a polyurethane-based adhesive in a way that it will totally contact with the insulation material surface. Therefore, the front surface of the product (5) is covered with tile, while all the other edges and surfaces are surrounded with the surrounding wall. The product (5) comprises a mounting net (4) that is located at the back of the product in a way that it overflows upwards (Figure 1, 2.

    [0010] The products (5) that are developed within the present invention are mounted onto the wall of a building in a way that their front surfaces will be tile and they will be in a 100% contact with each other. The product (5) according to the present invention is mounted onto the wall by both being adhered by means of cement, polyurethane, epoxy or plaster-based adhesives that are applied totally onto their back and also by mechanically attaching the mounting net to the wall by means of wall plugs (6). In Figure 2, the product (5) is shown as it is mounted on the wall. Used wall plugs (6) can be made of plastics or metal.

    - a mounting net (4) located at the backmost surface of the product (5) in a way that it overflows the product (5) upwards and whereby the product (5) is mountable onto a wall of the building, both by adhering it to the wall after applying cement-based, polyurethane, epoxy or plaster-based adhesive to its back and by attaching it also mechanically to the wall through its mounting net (4) by means of wall plugs (6).
