Revitalization of Facade Cladding with the Use of Bonded Joints

Abstract:

One of the current issues in the Czech building industry is the revitalization of buildings, or their outer shells, that were constructed before 1990. Vented facades are a suitable option. At present, the vast majority of such facades utilise mechanical joints; however, facades with bonded joints are also a suitable alternative. The following article, where the potential use of bonded joints in practice is verified via experimental measurements, deals with this technology in great detail. This article focuses on the preparation and subsequent production of test specimens, and also on the experimental verification of the bonding of substructure to cladding and the determination of shear strength under tensile stress at a temperature of (20 ± 3)°C and a relative humidity of (55 ± 10) %. For the tests, Cetris cement-bonded particleboard was chosen for the cladding and aluminium profiles for the supporting substructure. In order to find the most suitable connecting material, five types of industrial adhesives intended for structural bonding were selected. At the same time, emphasis was placed on featuring adhesives from various price categories. The test procedures verified the suitability of the selected adhesives for the chosen combination of materials, and the method also suggested that the use of the most expensive adhesive doesn ́t always provide the best results.
