Abstract
The invention relates to a method for trimming a building frontage. The method includes: applying an insulation onto said wall, from the wall towards the outside; applying a solar receptor after the insulation; forming a channel between the insulation and a rigid outer layer; placing a partially transparent and/or cut-out flexible strip therein; closing the channel with the outer layer having at least 90% of the surface thereof made of at least one transparent or translucent protection feature. The invention also relates to a kit for trimming a building frontage capable of being implemented by the method.
Claims15
Method for trimming a building frontage including wherein the frontage is comprised of a wall, and wherein the method starts from said wall towards an exterior, said method comprising the steps of:
- measuring a the level of insulation of said wall and determining an eventual complementary layer of insulation;
- arranging, if necessary, at least one said complementary layer of insulation on said wall;
- arranging at least one solar receptor on said wall or on said complementary layer of insulation farthest away from said wall;
- forming, beyond a most external solar receptor, at least one channel between said solar receptor and a rigid external layer;
- arranging, in at least one such channel, at least one partially transparent or/and cut-out or/and perforated internal flexible strip;
- arranging said internal flexible strip over a full height of a module forming a frontage element of the building, or over the full height of the building, hooked on an upper bearing surface and tensioned by tensioning means;
- and
- closing each channel by said rigid external layer, being comprised of at least either transparent or translucent protection means over at least 90% of a surface, or at least one external strip having a light-transmission coefficient higher than 25%, made in the form of a textile or a grid maintained tensioned within a frame.
Kit for trimming a frontage, being applied onto a wall or onto an insulation of said frontage, said kit comprising:
- at least one solar receptor;
- and
- a channel separating said solar receptor from a rigid external layer, wherein the solar receptor and said channel are positioned from said wall to an external environment, the rigid external layer being in a vicinity of said external environment,
- wherein said channel contains comprises, between said solar receptor and said rigid external layer, at least one internal flexible strip being partially transparent or/and cut-out or/and perforated, and wherein said rigid external layer comprises at least either at least one transparent or/and cut-out or/and perforated external strip having a light-transmission coefficient higher than 25%, or transparent or translucent protection means over at least 90% of their surface.
