Facade assembly, building structure and method for mounting the facade assembly

Abstract

A facade assembly for a building contains at least one facade element which can be fastened to a wall or an inter-story ceiling of the building and at least one fire-protection element which can be mounted between the facade element and the wall or the inter-story ceiling. The fire-protection element contains an insulating layer and an intumescent course, which contains an intumescent material and which passes through the insulating layer at least in portions in the cross section along the facade element.

1 . A facade assembly for a building, comprising:
 at least one facade element which is optionally fastened to a wall or an inter-story ceiling of the building, and   at least one fire-protection element which is optionally mounted between the facade element and the wall or the inter-story ceiling,   wherein the fire-protection element comprises an insulating layer and an intumescent course which contains an intumescent material, passing through the insulating layer at least in portions, in the cross section along the facade element.   
     
     
         2 . The facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer is a mineral-wool insulating layer. 
     
     
         3 . The facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intumescent course is disposed approximately centrally in the insulating layer. 
     
     
         4 . The facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intumescent course is fiber-reinforced. 
     
     
         5 . The facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intumescent course has a free end which rests on a top side of the insulating layer. 
     
     
         6 . The facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intumescent course has a web which passes through the insulating layer in the cross section along the facade element and projects at a bottom side of the insulating layer. 
     
     
         7 . The facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intumescent course has a T-shaped cross-sectional profile. 
     
     
         8 . The facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intumescent course has a cross-shaped cross-sectional profile. 
     
     
         9 . The facade assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein a part of the cross-shaped cross-sectional profile of the intumescent course running in transverse direction relative to the facade element is disposed approximately centrally in the insulating layer. 
     
     
         10 . The facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the intumescent course comprises a web which passes through the insulating layer in the cross section along the facade element and an end portion which emerges from the insulating layer and rests on a bottom side of the insulating layer. 
     
     
         11 . The facade assembly according to  claim 10 , wherein the end portion of the intumescent course extends in the direction of the facade element. 
     
     
         12 . The facade assembly according to  claim 10 , wherein the end portion of the intumescent course has a free end which is disposed between the insulating layer and the facade element. 
     
     
         13 . The facade assembly according to  claim 10 , wherein the end portion of the intumescent course has a free end which is disposed directly on the facade element and extends away from the insulating layer. 
     
     
         14 . A building structure using the facade assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the building structure comprises:
 at least one wall and/or an inter-story ceiling,   at least one facade element which is fastened to the wall or inter-story ceiling of the building, wherein a joint is formed between the facade element and the wall or inter-story ceiling, and   at least one fire-protection element which is mounted in the region of the joint between the facade element and the wall or the inter-story ceiling,   wherein the fire-protection element comprises an insulating layer and an intumescent course which contains an intumescent material, running through the insulating layer at least in portions, in the cross section along the facade element.   
     
     
         15 . A method for mounting a facade assembly for a building according to  claim 1 , the method comprising:
 attaching of the facade element to the wall or the inter-story ceiling of the building, wherein a joint is formed between the facade element and the wall or the inter-story ceiling, and   attaching of the fire-protection element to the facade element and/or to the wall or the inter-story ceiling of the building in the region of the joint, so that the insulating layer directly adjoins the facade element at least partly and the intumescent course passes through the insulating layer at least in portions, in the cross section along the facade element.   
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the insulating layer is provided with slits running along the facade element and passing through the insulating layer, and the intumescent course is inserted into the slits. 
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein an at least two-part insulating layer is used,
 wherein a first part of the insulating layer is optionally fastened directly to the facade element or to the inter-story ceiling or wall, the intumescent course is inserted and fastened to the first part of the insulating layer, and then the second part of the insulating layer is introduced into the joint and optionally fastened to the facade element or the inter-story ceiling or wall.
