DEF

A type of felt roof covering manufactured from glass, rock, or slag.

CONT

Types of roof covering ... two types of felts are used in the manufacturing process: organic felts ...; and inorganic felts, composed of asbestos or glass fibers.

OBS

mineral fiber : A generic term for all nonmetallic inorganic fibers, which may be natural, such as asbestos, or may be manufactured from such sources as rock, slag, or glass.

OBS

inorganic felt: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

  • Toitures (Éléments du bâtiment)
CONT

Lorsque le drainage n'est pas idéal, il peut être sage d'employer un système tel qu'un toit traditionnel, qui permettra l'évaporation de l'humidité superficielle, plutôt qu'une couverture à membrane protégée, qui empêche l'évaporation. Pour une couverture multicouche, les feutres inorganiques sont préférables aux feutres organiques.

OBS

On distingue : les matériaux poreux (étoffes, tapis, feutres, laine de verre, panneaux de fibres végétales ou minérales, plâtres acoustiques).

OBS

feutre inorganique : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Key term(s)
  • feutre de fibre minérale

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
DEF

An inorganic, woven glass fiber fabric coated with hot asphalt coating. This leno weave glass is produced by interlocking two parallel warp(length) ends. The low number of count threads per inch gives this product more pattern stability while maintaining excellent tensile strength and conformability to irregular surfaces. Excellent repair fabric for both new and old construction in roofing and waterproofing applications. Other applications include : foundations, slabs, tunnels...

Subject field(s)
  • Modern Construction Methods
  • Exterior Covering Materials
CONT

The exterior Cladding Panel contract for the VGH [Vancouver General Hospital] addition was the largest architectural precast job ever built in BC. The exterior panel faces were cast using white cement and coloured granite aggregates. The exterior surface was machine ground and polished to produce a hard, dense highly reflective finish.

CONT

GRANEX [TM] is an exterior cladding panel of balanced laminate construction composed of natural stone aggregate embedded in an integral glass fiber reinforced composite substrate of core material, polyester resin and inorganic fillers. The resulting panel is aesthetically pleasing, strong and impervious to moisture-even along exposed edges... GRANEX [TM] panels can be attached to virtually any framing or wall system, including metal and wooden studs or furring strips.

CONT

Aim of the project is the development of a mobile laser machining system for a material-fit connection of cladding-panels out of metallic material. In the scope of this project a mobile laser for the range of facade construction should be designed and developed to manufacture connections between exterior cladding-panel and the underconstruction, which fulfils the facade-specific demands in its entirety.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés de construction modernes
  • Revêtements extérieurs
CONT

GRANEX est un panneau de parement extérieur à l'aspect agréable, fait d'un mélange stratifié et équilibré de granulat de pierre naturelle noyé dans un substrat composite de matériau de base, de résine de polyester et de charges inorganiques, le tout renforcé de fibres de verre. [...] Les panneaux GRANEX peuvent être fixés sur pratiquement toutes les sortes de charpentes ou de murs, même sur les barres ou fourrures en métal ou en bois.
