Abstract
A thermal insulation pad is for attachment between a bracket and substructure in a building cladding assembly. The thermal insulation pad includes a thermal insulation material and at least one spacing member for limiting compression of the thermal insulation material during use.
Claims20
A thermal insulation pad for attachment between a bracket and substructure in a building cladding assembly, the thermal insulation pad being planar in shape and oriented along a plane, the thermal insulation pad comprising:
- a thermal insulation material part;
- and
- a plurality of spacing members arranged in a two-dimensional array within said thermal insulation material part and in the plane of the thermal insulation pad, such that the plurality of spacing members are distributed in the plane of the thermal insulation pad in both a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so as to limit compression of said thermal insulation material part during attachment between the bracket and the substructure in the building cladding assembly and to define a predetermined uniformed spacing between the bracket and the substructure.
A bracket configured for attachment to a substructure in a building cladding assembly, the bracket comprising:
- a foot having a contact face being configured to face towards the substructure in use;
- and
- a thermal insulation pad being attached to said foot so as to sit between said contact face and the substructure in use, the thermal insulation pad being planar in shape and oriented along a plane,
- wherein said thermal insulation pad comprises:
- a thermal insulation material part;
- and
- a plurality of spacing members arranged in a two-dimensional array within said thermal insulation material part and in the plane of the thermal insulation pad, such that the plurality of spacing members are spaced apart in the plane of the thermal insulation pad in both a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so as to limit compression of said thermal insulation material part during use and to define a predetermined uniform spacing between the bracket and the substructure, and
- wherein said foot has a footprint, and wherein said thermal insulation pad has a pad footprint equal to said footprint of said foot.
