Abstract

A facade assembly which is suitable for a building includes: at least one facade element, which can be secured to a story outer edge of the building, and at least one fire-protection element, which is installed between the facade element and the story outer edge, where the fire-protection element contains an insulating layer and a fire-protection mat, where the insulating layer has a first side face facing the facade element and a second side face, which is disposed opposite the first side face and faces the story outer edge, and a bottom face, which extends between the first and second side face, and where the fire-protection mat wraps around the bottom face of the insulating layer and bears against at least one part of the first and second side face.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A facade assembly for a building, comprising:
at least one facade element, which can be secured to a story outer edge of the building, and
at least one fire-protection element, which is installed between the facade element and the story outer edge, wherein
the fire-protection element comprises an insulating layer and a fire-protection mat,
wherein the insulating layer has a first side face facing the facade element and a second side face, which is disposed opposite the first side face and faces the story outer edge, and a bottom face, which extends between the first and second side face, and
wherein the fire-protection mat wraps around the bottom face of the insulating layer and bears against at least one part of the first and second side face wherein
the fire-protection mat has at least one frayed rim portion.

2. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the frayed rim portion bears against the at least one facade element and/or the story outer edge.

3. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the fire-protection mat has two rim portions disposed opposite one another,
wherein one of the rim portions engages in the first side face and the other rim portion engages in the second side face.

4. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the insulating layer is a mineral-wool insulating layer.

5. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the fire-protection mat comprises a coating of at least one member selected from the group consisting of a ceramic coating, a silicate coating, a metal oxide coating, and a silicone coating.

6. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the fire-protection mat is fastened to the facade element and the story outer edge.

7. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the fire-protection mat is magnetic and at least one member selected from the group consisting of the facade element the story outer edge is metallic, wherein
the fire-protection mat is fastened by magnetic force to at least one member selected from the group consisting of the facade element and the story outer edge.

8. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the fire-protection mat completely surrounds the insulating layer.

9. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the fire-protection mat comprises an elastic material and is fastened under preload between the facade element and the story outer edge.

10. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the fire-protection mat is disposed at a distance from the bottom face of the insulating layer.

11. A building structure, comprising:
a facade assembly according to claim 1 ,
at least one story outer edge, and
at least one facade element, which can be fastened to the story outer edge of the building, wherein
a joint is formed between the facade element and the story outer edge, and comprises at least one fire-protection element, which is installed in the region of the joint between the facade element and the story outer edge, wherein
the fire-protection element comprises an insulating layer and a fire-protection mat, wherein
the insulating layer has a first side face facing the facade element and a second side face, which is disposed opposite the first side face and faces the story outer edge, and a bottom face extending between the first and second side face, and
wherein the fire-protection mat wraps around the insulating layer at the bottom face and bears against at least one part of the first and second side face.

12. A method for mounting a facade assembly according claim 1 , the method comprising:
attaching the facade element to the story outer edge of the building, wherein a joint is formed between the facade element and the story outer edge, and
introducing the fire-protection element into the joint between the facade element and the story outer edge of the building, so that the fire-protection mat wraps around the insulating layer at a bottom face, and so that the fire-protection mat bears at least partly against the facade element and the story outer edge.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein
the fire-protection element is inserted on a floor side into the joint between the facade and the story outer edge.

14. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the fire-protection mat is fastened to the facade element and the story outer edge by adhesive bonding, clamping, bolting, or nailing.

15. The facade assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the fire-protection mat comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:
a glass fiber, a silicon fiber, a calcium magnesium silicate fiber, a mineral fiber comprising SiO 2 and CaO, a basalt fiber, a ceramic fiber, stainless steel, and a coated flexible inorganic fiber that have a melting point of higher than 1200° C.

16. The facade assembly according to claim 15 , wherein the fire-protection mat is a coated or uncoated textile material.

17. The facade assembly according to claim 16 , wherein the textile material comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of a glass-fiber fabric; a silicone-coated glass-fiber fabric; a fabric of a silicon fiber; a temperature-stabilized glass-fiber fabric; a high-temperature-resistant needled mat; a silicone-coated stainless-steel wire fabric; a mixed fabric made from the said textile material and mixed fibers containing inorganic fibers of boron carbide and silicon nitride.
