Abstract
In order to decorate a conservatory made from aluminium structural members and plastics covers and cappings, such covers and/or cappings (2) on eaves beams (1) or windowsills, for example, are arranged to receive decorative inserts (3).
Description
- This invention concerns decoration of conservatories and buildings.
- PVCu conservatories are generally made from aluminium structural members covered with PVCu cappings that are usually white but can be provided with a wood grain effect. Timber cladding itself may be used.
- In general, once the internal cappings have been applied to the structural members, they remain in place for the lifetime of the conservatory, or until they need to be replaced due to damage. These cappings are not suitable for applying a decoration and so any decorative enhancement of a conservatory is limited to lead lighting in windows and to placement of decorative items, such as plants.
- Furthermore, if decoration were to be added to a conservatory, it would be difficult to extend any scheme of decoration into the structure adjoining the conservatory. For example, a conservatory attached to a living room of a house may look out of place or disjointed if decorated in a different scheme to the living room.
- An object of this invention is to provide for the decorative enhancement of conservatories and adjoining structures.
- According to the invention, it is proposed that decorative strips or profiles be attachable to conservatory components and buildings.
- The strips or profiles may be attachable to any conservatory components, either internal or external, but it is preferable that the strips or profiles are attachable to internal plastics components thereof, especially components that cover aluminium structural members. The structural member of the conservatory may be, for example, an eaves beam, a cill, a roof ridge, a corner post, a mullion or a window frame member. Attachment may be directly to an aluminium structural member but will more often be to a plastics covering component for an aluminium structural member, such as a capping or a fascia panel. When attachment of the decorative strip is directly to an aluminium structural member, it is preferred that the structural member include a thermal break.
- Where the decorative scheme is extended into an adjoining structure, means may be provided for attaching the same decorative strips used in the conservatory to surfaces of the adjoining structure. Preferably, the decorative strips may be attached to walls, skirting boards, window frames, dado rails or any other suitable surface.
- Where suitable surfaces do not exist, the present invention may additionally provide means for securing the decorative strips to surfaces, such as profiled extrusions that may be nailed, clipped or adhered to the surface in question. The decorative strips or profiles may be attached to conservatory components or other building surfaces by any suitable means. These may include direct attachment, such as by means of adhesive, Velcro, magnetism and the like, and keyed attachment such as slots, rebates and the like. For example, magnetic strips can be adhered to one component and ferromagnetic material be provided on or incorporated into the other component.
- In one preferred embodiment of the invention, a plastics component, such as a fascia panel or dado rail, has a rebated channel formed thereon into which a decorative strip or profile may be slid or, by having a top rebate deeper than a bottom rebate, the decorative strip or profile can be pushed up into the top rebate to clear the bottom rebate, so that it can drop into the bottom rebate.
- In another preferred embodiment of the invention, a plastics component and the decorative strip or profile may have mutually engageable formations thereon, in order to retain the decorative strip or profile on the plastics component. More preferably still, one of the plastics component and the decorative strip or profile provides at least one hooked member and the other has a corresponding number of co-operating slot/slots or the like thereon, which locate over the hooked members, thereby releasably retaining the decorative strip or profile on the plastics component. More preferably still, the plastics component has at least one, but more preferably two, vertically spaced hooked members thereon, and the decorative strip or profile has a corresponding number of co-operating slots thereon. To provide an alternative means of attachment, the decorative strip or profile may have a raised rim at or near each longitudinal edge thereof, such that it may be retained on a plastics component by way of being snap-fitted past top and bottom ribs of the plastics component and held therein.
- Alternatively, the decorative strip or profile may be rebated to form a channel having edges allowing the decorative strip or profile to be snap-fitted over edges of a plastics component.
- When the plastics component is a fascia panel, the means of attachment of the fascia to the structural member is preferably by way of one or more fir-tree type ribs of one component push fitted onto slots of the other component. The ribs are preferably on the structural member. According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, there is provided a decorative strip or profile attached to a structural member of a conservatory. The structural member may be an eaves beam having at least one, but more preferably two vertically spaced hooked members thereon, and the decorative strip or profile has a corresponding number of co-operating slots, whereby the decorative strip or profile may be retained on the eaves beam.
- When the decorative strips are to be used in a building and suitable attachment locations cannot be easily found, a mounting component may be used. The mounting component is preferably a plastics extrusion having formations thereon for retaining the decorative strip. On the reverse side of the mounting component, there may be features such as webs, suitable for gluing the mounting component to a surface of the building. Alternatively, resiliently deformable clips may be provided on the reverse side of the mounting component that engage with resiliently deformable clips of a further backing component.
- It is preferred feature of the present invention that a variety of mounting components may be used for different situations, for example as dado rails, skirting boards, architraves, etc.
- In practice, the backing component is preferably cut to length and affixed to the building surface by means of screws, nails or adhesive. Preferably also, the mounting component cut to length and then push-fitted onto the backing member such that the resiliently deformable clips mutually engage. Finally, the decorative strip may be cut to a desired length and be retained by the mounting component.
- It is preferred that decorative strips or profiles used in the invention have three dimensional relief thereon, for example, in the form of flowers, geometrical shapes, etc., formed by embossing. However, alternatively, the decorative effects on the strip or profile may be two dimensional in nature, the strips or profiles being decorated with paint, ink or film. It is further preferable that the decorative strips or profiles are made from plastic, wood, fabric, or any other suitable material, to give a desired effect. It is preferred that the decorative strip or profile is injection molded.
- Decorative strips or profiles used in the invention may be shaped and sized in order to accommodate other items to be at least partially concealed thereby. For example, by having a decorative strip or profile in the form of a cornice molding that extends upwardly and inwardly from an eaves beam, space may be provided for concealing window blinds or lighting components.
- It is preferred that the decorative strips or profiles are reversible in nature, having different decorative effects on opposing faces thereof. In this way, if a user wants to change the decoration on the structural member, then he or she may simply remove the decorative strip or profile from the structural member, reverse it to expose the decorative effects on the other side, and then replace it on the structural member.
- It is preferable that, in the case where the structural component is an eaves beam, when the internal covering member is in place on the eaves beam, a part of the outer face of the fascia panel covers the head of the eaves beam. Further, it is preferred that a part of the outer face of the fascia panel covers the bottom part of the eaves beam, when the internal covering member is in place on the eaves beam.
- Preferably, a number of internal covering members may be used end to end, in order to cover the length of the particular structural member, for example, eaves beam or cill, being covered.
