  • This invention relates to a jointing strip for connecting adjacent wall panels.
  • a jointing strip for fitting between edges of adjacent wall panels to connect the wall panels, the jointing strip comprising:
  • Advantages of the invention include that it provides a clean, easy to apply fitting for joining two wall panels together. It is easy to apply because it is fitted between the wall panels after the wall panels have been mounted on a wall.
  • resiliently deflectable rear gripping arm is used to mean that the arm can deflect in order to allow the body of the jointing strip to pass through the gap between the edges of the adjacent wall panels and then deflect back in order to grip the rear wall facing side of the wall panel.
  • the jointing strip comprises an arm recess shaped to receive the resiliently deflectable rear gripping arm.
  • the arm recess is formed in the body of the jointing strip.
  • a body recess is formed in the body of the jointing strip between the arm recess and the front cover, the arm recess and the body recess being separated by a sealing protrusion.
  • arm recess is used to mean an indentation into which the rear gripping arm or arms can deflect.
  • the body of the jointing strip is tapered towards the resiliently deflectable rear gripping arm such that the arm is deflectable towards the tapered part of the body.
  • the resiliently deflectable rear gripping arm is formed of a compressible material so that when it is deflected it can be compressed against the body of the jointing strip.
  • the compressible material is a polymer foam.
  • the jointing strip comprises two opposed resiliently deflectable rear gripping arms.
  • the jointing strip comprises two opposed arm recesses shaped to receive the two opposed resiliently deflectable rear gripping arms.
  • the two opposed arm recesses are formed in the body of the jointing strip.
  • two opposed body recesses are formed in the body of the jointing strip between the arm recesses and the front cover, each adjacent arm recess and body recess being separated by a sealing protrusion.
  • the jointing strip may be adapted to provide a water resistant seal between the adjacent wall panels.
  • the jointing strip can be made of any suitably flexible material, for example rubber, PVC, neoprene or polyethylene.
  • a wall panelling kit comprising a wall panel and the jointing strip of the invention.
  • the kit additionally comprises a coloured filler material for application between adjacent wall panels and the jointing strip is sufficiently transparent for the colour of the filler material to be visible through the jointing strip when the jointing strip contacts the filler material.
  • a transparent jointing strip can be used in all cases.
  • a suitable coloured filler material can then be selected to give the jointing strip colour.
  • the filler material is a mastic.
  • the front cover of the jointing strip has a colour and/or surface decoration that coordinates with the colour and/or surface decoration of the wall panel. This provides an alternative way in which the jointing strip of the invention may provide a decorative finish.
  • the present invention also provides a method for connecting adjacent wall panels comprising the steps of:
  • a jointing strip comprising a front cover, a body and a resiliently deflectable rear gripping arm, (b) fixing wall panels to a wall such that a gap is provided between edges of adjacent wall panels for accommodating the jointing strip,
  • the jointing strip comprises an arm recess shaped to receive the resiliently deflectable rear gripping arm and in step (c) the resiliently deflectable rear gripping arm deflects such that it is received by the arm recess.
  • the arm recess is formed in the body of the jointing strip.
  • a body recess is formed in the body of the jointing strip between the arm recess and the front cover, the arm recess and the body recess being separated by a sealing protrusion such that in step (d) the sealing protrusion is fitted between the edges of the wall panels .
  • the jointing strip comprises two opposed resiliently deflectable rear gripping arms and in step (c) the two opposed resiliently deflectable rear gripping arms are deflected towards the body of the jointing strip by the adjacent wall panels.
  • the jointing strip comprises two opposed arm recesses shaped to receive the two opposed resiliently deflectable rear gripping arms and in step (c) the two opposed resiliently deflectable rear gripping arms deflect such that they are received by the two opposed arm recesses.
  • the two opposed arm recesses are formed in the body of the jointing strip.
  • two opposed body recesses are formed in the body of the jointing strip between the arm recesses and the front cover, each adjacent arm recess and body recess being separated by a sealing protrusion such that in step (d) each sealing protrusion is fitted between the edges of the wall panels.
  • the method additionally comprises the following step: (e) applying a coloured filler material to the wall between adjacent wall panels, and in step (d) the jointing strip is pressed into the gap between edges of adjacent wall panels such that it contacts the filler material, the jointing strip being sufficiently transparent for the colour of the filler material to be visible through the jointing strip when the jointing strip contacts the filler material.
  • step (e) of the method is carried out between steps (b) and (c) .
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a jointing strip of the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows an end view of the first embodiment of a jointing strip of the invention
