Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a prefabricated module for a pitched roof element comprising a frame made of at least two first beams being arranged in a distance and running parallel to each other and two second beams running rectangular to the first beams and being connected to the ends of the first beams forming a compartment into which a first layer of an insulation is inserted and a pitched roof element for a building roof made of at least two modules, each comprising a frame made of at least first beams being arranged in a distance and running parallel to each other and two second beams running rectangular to the first beams and being connected to the ends of the first beams forming a compartment into which a first layer of an insulation is inserted.

Claims (23)

1. A prefabricated module for a pitched roof element comprising a frame made of at least two first beams being arranged in a distance to each other and running parallel to each other and two second beams running perpendicular to the first beams and being connected to ends of the first beams forming a compartment into which a first layer of an insulation made of mineral fibers and a binding agent is inserted and comprising a second layer of the insulation being arranged above the first layer of the insulation, covering the frame and being fixed at least to the first and/or the second beams, whereby the second layer of the insulation has a higher bulk density than the first layer of the insulation and whereby the first beams have a length being at least equal to an extension of a roof between a ridge purlin and an inferior purlin, wherein the second layer of the insulation is a dual density board made of mineral fibers and a binding agent, the dual density board having two layers of different bulk densities, wherein the layer with the lower bulk density is oriented to the first layer of the insulation and to upper narrow surfaces of the first and the second beams.

2. The prefabricated module according to claim 1 , wherein,

the first beams and/or the second beams are connected to a cladding board being arranged adjacent to the first layer of the insulation and wherein a membrane is arranged adjacent to the second layer of the insulation.

3. The prefabricated module according to claim 1 , wherein,

the second layer of the insulation has a bulk density of at least 80 kg/m 3 and/or a declared thermal conductivity of at least 0.038 W/(m 2 *K).

4. The prefabricated module according to claim 1 , wherein,

a membrane is arranged adjacent to the second layer of the insulation.

5. The prefabricated module according to claim 1 , wherein,

counter battens running parallel to the first beams and are fixed to the second beams whereby the second layer is arranged between the counter battens and the frame.

6. The prefabricated module according to claim 5 , wherein,

tiling battens are fixed to the counter battens whereby the tiling battens are running parallel to the second beams, the ridge purlin and the inferior purlin.

7. The prefabricated module according to claim 1 , wherein,

at least a further beam is disposed between outer first beams of the frame, whereby at least two compartments are provided between the outer first beams and whereby the compartments have identical dimensions in lengths and/or widths and/or depths.

8. The prefabricated module according to claim 1 , wherein,

the second layer of insulation has a thickness between 60 mm and 160 mm being thinner than the thickness of the frame and/or the first layer of insulation having a thickness of at least 200 mm.

9. The prefabricated module according to claim 1 , wherein,

the module has a thermal resistance Rc-value of 7.0 (m2*K)/W or higher.

10. A pitched roof element made of at least two modules according to claim 1 , whereby

the modules are connected pivotably to each other via a hinge being connected to a second beam of each frame so that the frames can be moved from a position in which the first beams of the frames are running parallel to each other and lying on each other to a position in which the frames enclose an angle between the first beams in the area of the hinge being at least equal to an angle between two halves of the roof element forming a V-shaped adjustment.

11. The pitched roof element according to claim 10 , wherein,

each module comprises a second layer of the insulation being arranged above the first layer of the insulation, covering the frame and being fixed at least to the first and/or the second beams, whereby the second layer of the insulation has a higher bulk density than the first layer of the insulation and whereby the first beams have a length being at least equal to an extension of the roof between a ridge purlin and an inferior purlin.

12. The pitched roof element according to claim 10 , wherein,

both modules are provided with at least one fixing point to which an element to keep the modules in the V-shaped adjustment are fixable at least until the modules are fixed to a building.
