This patent application is a national-stage application of International Patent No. PCT/KR2015/013264, filed on Dec. 4, 2015, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0111364, filed on Aug. 7, 2015, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present invention relates to a heat-insulating finishing material and, more particularly, to an outer-wall heat-insulating finishing material configured such that tiles can be arranged on the heat-insulating material at a predetermined interval using an interval plate, by applying mortar to the bottom surface and the upper, lower, left, and right surfaces of the tiles, the tiles can be firmly attached to the surface of the heat-insulating material, and, by means of a change in shape of the interval plate and an intaglio pattern formed on the surface of the heat-insulating material, the tiles, which are fitted to the interval plate and attached to the surface of the heat-insulating material, can remain attached, with a maximized attaching force, regardless of various external forces.
Generally, a building is finished with heat insulation along its outer walls. A finish is applied to the surface of the heat insulation to reinforce the outer walls and to simply the construction.
Applying mortar to the surface of heat insulation followed by attaching a finish may, however, result in a misalignment and lowered adhesion of the finish.
In relation to this, Korean Patent No. 10-1462841, titled “heat insulation-combined brick spacer and masonry wall construction using the same” discloses a technique for constructing heat insulation in which interval plates are placed on a heat insulating material and a finish is fitted into the interval plates.
According to this, the interval plates are horizontally connected, and the finish disturbs connections in upper, lower, left, and right directions via mortar. Thus, this scheme suffers from deteriorated adhesion.
Moreover, the finish may not remain attached for a long time against various external forces.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings to be easily practiced by one of ordinary skill in the art.
Referring to
The wall surface 10 may be an outer or inner wall of a building. The heat-insulating material 100 is attached to the wall surface 10, and tiles 400 are attached to an outer surface of the heat-insulating material 100, increasing the heat insulation of the building and the strength of the wall surface 10 while decorating the surface of the heat-insulating material 100.
The wall surface 10 may be any type of surface where the heat-insulating material 100 may be installed. Meanwhile, a plurality of fastening holes 12 are formed in the wall surface 10 to be able to fasten fasteners 20. The fasteners 20 may be inserted and fastened to the fastening holes 12 to fasten the heat-insulating material 100 to the wall surface 10.
The heat-insulating material 100 is used to insulate the wall surface 10. The heat-insulating material 100 may be formed of expanded polystyrene (EPS). The heat-insulating material 100 may be replaced with glass wool, extruded polystyrene, or rubber form insulation.
The heat-insulating material 100 is shaped and sized corresponding to the wall surface 10. A rear surface 120 of the heat-insulating material 100 is attached to the wall surface 10. A plurality of insertion holes 102 are formed in the heat-insulating material 100 for installation of the fasteners 20. The fasteners 20 are inserted into the insertion holes 102, with the rear surface 120 of the heat-insulating material 100 coming in tight contact with the wall surface 10, and the fasteners 20 are installed in the fastening holes 12 formed in the wall surface 10, thereby securing the heat-insulating material 100 to the wall surface 10.
Tiles 400 are attached onto the front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100 via mortar 500. A plurality of interval plates 200 are formed on the front surface 110 to be spaced apart from each other by the height of the tile 400. The interval plates 200 may make pairs each of which includes two interval plates 200 positioned in parallel with each other and spaced from each other by an interval corresponding to the height of the tile 400. The interval 200 between the paired interval plates 200 has a tolerance to allow the tiles 400 to be smoothly fitted and fastened therebetween.
The pattern part 300 is engraved in the front surface 110 to securely attach the tiles 400. The mortar 500 is applied to the pattern part 300, and the tiles 400 are securely attached to the front surface 110 by the mortar 500. In other words, while the mortar 500 is applied to the overall front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100, the mortar 500 is also applied to the pattern part 300, allowing the tiles 400 to be securely fastened in tight contact with the front surface 110 while being fitted between the interval plates 200.
The interval plates 200 protrude from the front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100. The length at which the interval plates 200 protrude may be shorter than the thickness of the tiles 400. The interval plates 200 may be formed in pair to have an interval corresponding to the height of the tile 400. The plurality of interval plates 200 are formed on the front surface 110 to be spaced apart from each other by the height of the tile 400.
The tiles 400 are fitted and fastened between the interval plates 200. The bottoms of the tiles 400 are securely attached by the mortar 500 applied to crossing nodes 350 and the pattern part 300 formed in the front surface 110. The tiles 400 protrude beyond the tips of the interval plates 200 in the position of having been attached to the front surface 110.
Meanwhile, chamfered portions 220 are formed in the upper and lower portions of the tip of each interval plate 200. The chamfered portions 200 are inclined upper and lower portions of the tip of each interval plate 200, allowing the maximized contact area between the chamfered portions 200 and the mortar 500 when the tiles 400 are fastened between the interval plates 200.
In other words, forming the chamfered portions 220 in the tip of each interval plate 200 increases the area of contact with the mortar 500, allowing the mortar 500 applied to the tips of the interval plates 200 to more securely fasten the tiles 400 at both sides of each tile 400. That is, the area where the tiles 400 contact the interval plates 200 increases, attaching the tiles 400 more securely.
Referring to
The pattern part 300 is a set of cuts formed in the front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100. The pattern part 300 includes a proximate pattern 310 formed to abut the interval plate 200, a horizontal pattern 320 formed horizontally, a vertical pattern 330 formed vertically, and an inclined pattern 340 formed inclinedly.
The proximate pattern 310 is a cut formed to about the upper and lower portion of the interval plate 200 along a straight line, serving to securely attach the tile 400 at the upper and lower portions of the tile 400 when the mortar 300 is applied to the proximate pattern 310 to attach the tile 400 between the interval plates 200. In other words, the proximate pattern 310 allows the tile 400 to remain securely attached against external forces that may act to the upper and lower portions.
The tile 400 may escape from the front tile 110 starting from its upper and lower edges. The proximate pattern 310 firmly holds the upper and lower edges of the tile 400, preventing the tile 400 from escaping off the front surface 110. In other words, the proximate pattern 310 reinforces the attachment at the upper and lower portions, fundamentally preventing the tile 400 from escaping off.
A plurality of horizontal patterns 320 are horizontally spaced from each other at an interval between the interval plates 200. The horizontal patterns 320 allow the tile 400 to be securely attached to the front surface 110 against external forces that are horizontally exerted to the tile 400.
A plurality of vertical patterns 330 are vertically spaced from each other at an interval between the interval plates 200. The vertical patterns 330 allow the tile 400 to be securely attached to the front surface 110 against external forces that are vertically exerted to the tile 400.
A plurality of inclined patterns 340 are inclinedly formed between the interval plates 200. The inclined patterns 340 allow the tile 400 to be securely attached to the front surface 110 against external forces that are inclinedly exerted to the tile 400.
Thus, the tiles 400 may be attached to the front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100 against forces that may play horizontally, vertically, or inclinedly.
Crossing nodes 350 are formed at the intersections of the proximate pattern 310, horizontal patterns 320, vertical patterns 330, and inclined patterns 340 of the pattern part 300. The crossing nodes 350 are formed about 1 mm to about 5 mm deeper than the proximate pattern 310, horizontal patterns 320, vertical patterns 330, and inclined patterns 340. The crossing nodes 350 play a role to increase the attachment of the tiles 400. In other words, the crossing nodes firmly and constantly hold the tiles 400 and increase the strength of attachment of the tiles 400 against external impacts, such as an earthquake.
The tiles 400 may be small and thin porcelain or ceramic plates and are attached to the front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100 for decoration purposes. The height of the tile 400 corresponds to the interval between the interval plates 200. The tiles 400 are securely fastened by the mortar 500 applied to the tips of the interval plates 200 and the pattern part 300 while being fitted and fastened between the interval plates 200.
The mortar 500 is the plaster of lime, cement, sand, and water. The mortar 500 is applied to the tips of the interval plates 200 and the pattern part 300 formed on the rear surface of the heat-insulating material 100, securely fastening the tiles 400. The mortar 500 is hardened as water evaporates over time, securing the tiles 400 to the front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100.
The interval plate 200 has a plurality of spacing parts 210 formed at even intervals. The interval between spacing parts 210 is provided to correspond to the length of the tile 400. The interval plate 200 is divided by the spacing part 210 so that the length of one tile 400 corresponds to the two parts of the interval plate 200. In other words, the length of one tile 400 corresponds to the two parts of the interval plate 200 and the spacing part 210 positioned at the center of the interval plate 200. Thus, the tiles 400 may be arranged so that the upper tiles and the lower tiles 400 separated by the interval plate 200 overlap each other by half.
As shown in
In other words, the plurality of tiles 400 are fitted and fastened between the interval plates 200 while being spaced adjacent from each other at constant intervals so that the upper tiles 400 and the lower tiles 400 are alternately arranged to overlap by half.
In this state, the mortar 500 is applied to the upper, lower, left, and right sides surfaces and bottoms of the tiles 400 spaced apart, and the tiles 400 are attached to the front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100 with the adjacent tiles 400 connected in the upper, lower, left, and right directions, allowing the tiles 400 to be strongly attached to the front surface 110.
A polygonal pattern 360 is engraved on the front surface 110 of the heat-insulating material 100. The polygonal pattern 360 is formed not to overlap the proximate pattern 310, the horizontal patterns 320, the vertical patterns 330, and the inclined patterns 340 described above. In other words, the polygonal pattern 360 is formed inside a pattern or shapes formed by a combination of the proximate pattern 310, the horizontal patterns 320, the vertical patterns 330, and the inclined patterns 340.
The polygonal pattern 360 plays a role to give better adhesion for the tiles 400 when the tiles 400 are attached to the front surface 110.
The pattern part 300 may be formed in circles overlapping each other as shown in
Meanwhile, any type of pattern part 300, e.g., a combination of polygons, a geometrical pattern, or a mix of patterns, may be formed as long as it enables the tiles 400 to be, or remain, securely attached.
