Fire-safe wall cladding
This disclosure relates to a wall cladding, including: a supporting structure; a safety supporting structure; wall cladding elements; at least one structure attachment element made of plastic; at least one cladding attachment element per wall cladding element, where the cladding attachment element forms part of the wall cladding element or is attached thereto and is couplable to the structure attachment element; at least one safety attachment element per wall cladding element, where the safety attachment element forms part of the wall cladding element or is attached thereto; and at least one safety element per wall cladding element, where the safety element is designed to be fire-resistant, is attachable to the safety supporting structure, and is attachable to the safety attachment element.
1. Wall cladding, comprising:
a supporting structure;
wall cladding elements;
at least one structure attachment element made of non-fire-resistant plastic, wherein the at least one structure attachment is attachable to the supporting structure;
at least one cladding attachment element per each wall cladding element, wherein the at least one cladding attachment element forms part of each respective wall cladding element or is attached thereto and is couplable to the at least one structure attachment element so as to attach the wall cladding element to the supporting structure;
wherein the wall cladding comprises a safety supporting structure, at least one safety attachment element per each wall cladding element, wherein the at least one safety attachment element forms part of each respective wall cladding element or is attached thereto, and at least one safety element per each wall cladding element, wherein the at least one safety element is designed to be fire-resistant, is attachable to the safety supporting structure, and is attachable to the at least one safety attachment element of the wall cladding element.
2. Wall cladding according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one cladding attachment element and the at least one safety attachment element are embodied by one and the same attachment element.
3. Wall cladding according to claim 1 , wherein the safety supporting structure forms part of the supporting structure.
4. Wall cladding according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one safety element is attachable to the supporting structure separately from the at least one structure attachment element.
5. Wall cladding according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one structure attachment element is attachable to the supporting structure in such a way that the at least one structure attachment element is movable in a first direction relative to the supporting structure, and wherein the at least one safety element is attachable to the safety supporting structure in such a way that the at least one safety element is movable in this first direction relative to the safety supporting structure.
6. Wall cladding according to claim 5 , wherein, in a state in which the at least one structure attachment element and the at least one cladding attachment element are mutually coupled, the at least one structure attachment element and the at least one cladding attachment element are mutually movable in a second direction, different from the first direction, and wherein, in a state in which the at least one safety element and the at least one safety attachment element are mutually coupled, the at least one safety element and the at least one safety attachment element are mutually movable in the second direction.
7. Wall cladding according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting structure comprises a plurality of attachment profiles and the safety supporting structure comprises at least one attachment profile, wherein all of the plurality of attachment profiles are arranged parallel to one another, wherein each wall cladding element is attachable to the at least one attachment profile of the supporting structure by at least one said structure attachment element made of non-fire-resistant plastic and wherein, per each wall cladding element, the at least one safety element is provided for attachment of the wall cladding element to the at least one attachment profile of the safety attachment structure.
8. Wall cladding according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of attachment profiles are arranged one above the other in a mounted state, and wherein the at least one attachment profile of the safety supporting structure is arranged above the center of mass of the wall cladding element.
9. Wall cladding according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one safety element is attachable at the top of a corresponding the at least one attachment profile.
10. Wall cladding according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one safety element comprises at least two safety elements, the at least two safety elements being provided per each wall cladding element, such that the wall cladding element is attached to two corresponding attachment profiles by the at least two safety elements.
11. Wall cladding according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one safety element is attachable to the safety supporting structure by a click-fit connection and/or a hook connection and/or is attachable to the at least one safety attachment element by a click-fit connection and/or a hook connection.
12. Wall cladding according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one safety element is attachable to the safety supporting structure by a first barb and is attachable to the at least one safety attachment element by a second barb.
13. Wall cladding according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one safety element is made of spring steel.
14. Wall cladding according to claim 1 , wherein the wall cladding elements are designed as slats.
15. Wall cladding according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one structure attachment element is directly couplable to the at least one cladding attachment element.
