Abstract

Provided herein is a facade for a building, made up of composite elements, the composite elements respectively having an inner cover layer, a polymer foam layer as the core and an outer metallic cover layer, and are fastened to a supporting structure. Each composite element has at least two fastening regions, in one fastening region the composite elements are immovably connected to the supporting structure and in the other fastening regions the composite elements are displaceably connected to the supporting structure, or the composite elements resting with the ground-facing side on a mounting and all fastening regions displaceably connected to the supporting structure.

Dependent claims

A facade for a building comprising:

composite elements, the composite elements respectively having an inner cover layer, a polymer foam layer as a core, and an outer metallic cover layer, and being fastened to a supporting structure,
wherein each composite element has at least two fastening regions that lie on a line parallel to the longitudinal direction of the composite element,
wherein
(i) in one fastening region, the composite elements are immovably connected to the supporting structure, and in all other fastening regions, the composite elements are displaceably connected to the supporting structure, or
(ii) the composite elements rest with the ground-facing side on a mounting, and are displaceably connected to the supporting structure in all fastening regions.
