Cladding element for constructing building facades

Abstract

A cladding element for constructing a facade of a building includes a substantially platelike element provided with a plurality of angular protrusions of essentially angular cross section which protrude from a front side of the platelike element.

1 . A paneling element for providing a front face for building structures, comprising a substantially plate-shaped element, wherein the plate-shaped element has connecting arrangements on substantially oppositely located sides, by means of which respectively adjoining paneling elements can be connected. 
   
   
       2 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of protrusions arranged on the plate-shaped element and extending away from the one first side of the plate-shaped element. 
   
   
       3 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 1 , the one connecting arrangement is embodied in the form of a protrusion, which is strip-shaped in cross section, and the other connecting member in the form of a receiving element, which is U-shaped in cross section. 
   
   
       4 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 3 , wherein, for providing the connection, the strip-shaped protrusion of the one paneling element can be releasably introduced into the U-shaped receiving element of the paneling element, which is arranged adjacent to it. 
   
   
       5 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the connection between the paneling element is provided at least in a non-positive manner. 
   
   
       6 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 3 , wherein the strip-shaped protrusion of the one connecting arrangement has a thickening at its free end. 
   
   
       7 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 3 , wherein the U-shaped receiving element of the other connecting arrangement has a thickening at its free end. 
   
   
       8 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein in the connected state of two paneling elements, the thickening of the strip-shaped protrusion of the one connecting arrangement snaps from behind into the thickening of the one leg of the U-shaped receiving element. 
   
   
       9 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the plate-shaped element has a plurality of protrusions, which extend away from a second side of the plate-shaped element. 
   
   
       10 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 1 , comprising an extruded profiled element. 
   
   
       11 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the material of the connecting element is a metallic material. 
   
   
       12 . The paneling element in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the material of the paneling element is a plastic material.
