Abstract

A composite cladding panel building system includes composite cladding panels, each panel having an interior layer made of an insulating material which is enclosed by an exterior layer made of a waterproof material; at least one support extrusion configured to be fixed to a supporting structure via at least one fixing surface and support an interior side of the composite cladding panel; and at least one corner extrusion configured to attach to the supporting structure in a gap formed between the exterior edges of two adjacent like composite cladding panels via a fixing extrusion attached to the supporting structure and to overlap the exterior edge of the adjacent panels to seal the gap.

Claims

1. A composite cladding panel building system comprising:

a cavity batten which in use is secured to a building frame;

a composite cladding panel comprising;

an exterior layer made of a waterproof material; and

an interior layer made of an insulating material; and

at least one support extrusion configured to be fixed to the cavity batten via at least one fixed surface;

wherein said cavity batten provides a cavity between said panel and said building frame.

2. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the interior layer is made from closed cell foam.

3. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 2 wherein the closed cell foam is extruded polystyrene foam.

4. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the exterior layer is metal sheet.

5. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 4 wherein the metal sheet is aluminum.

6. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the exterior layer is in the range 1 mm to 4 mm in thickness.

7. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the exterior layer is 3 mm in thickness.

8. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the exterior layer is fixed to the interior layer via double sided tape.

9. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the corner joint is selected from the group consisting of:

a 90°

interior corner joint;

a 135°

interior corner joint;

a 90°

exterior corner joint; and

a 135°

exterior corner joint.

10. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the composite cladding panel system also comprises at least one soffit extrusion configured to locate a top edge of the composite cladding panel relative to a soffit of a building roof.

11. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the composite cladding panel system also comprises at least one base extrusion configured to locate a bottom edge of the composite cladding panel relative to a base surface of a building.

12. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the composite cladding panel system also comprises at least one sill extrusion configured to locate a top edge of the composite cladding panel relative to a window sill of a building roof.

13. A composite cladding panel building system as claimed in claim 1 wherein, the composite cladding panel system also comprises at least one head extrusion configured to locate a bottom edge of the composite cladding panel relative to a window or door head of a building.

14. A method for manufacturing a composite cladding panel for a composite cladding panel system comprising the method steps of:

a. pressing an exterior layer made of a waterproof material onto a side of an interior layer made of an insulating material.

15. The method for manufacturing a composite cladding panel for a composite cladding panel system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the method also comprises the step:

b. fixing the exterior layer to the interior layer using double sided tape.

16. The method for manufacturing a composite cladding panel for a composite cladding panel system as claimed in claim 14 wherein the method also comprises the step:

b. vacuum sealing the exterior layer to the interior layer.

17. A kit of parts for cladding the exterior of a building, the kit of parts comprising:

a composite cladding panel comprising;

an exterior layer made of a waterproof material; and

an interior layer made of an insulating material;

at least one support extrusion configured to be fixed to a supporting structure via at least one fixing surface.
