A finishing arrangement for an exterior wall of a building includes: a plurality of exterior finishing panels; and at least one support member configured to support at least a portion of the weight of the exterior finishing panels. Each exterior finishing panel includes: a foam body having an interior-facing surface and an exterior-facing surface, the interior-facing surface having a plurality of pedestals formed therein, the pedestals defining a plurality of drainage channels therebetween, the exterior-facing surface being opposite the interior-facing surface and having a plurality of slots formed therein; and a plurality of structural elements, each structural element being accommodated in a respective slot, each structural element having a fastening surface for fastening a finishing material.
摘要:
A panel for a building form made of insulating material such as polystyrene is integrated with a reinforcing member for enabling the panel to resist deformation due to forces applied against its concrete-facing surface. Reinforcement of floor/roof panels is beneficial to reduce the amount of, or eliminate the need for, shoring for supporting the weight of wet concrete or workers. The reinforcement resists against deformation due to cracking, splitting etc. Reinforcement is likewise beneficial for wall forms where the weight of concrete asserts significant pressure against the concrete-facing surface of the form, in order to resist deformation of the wall forms under pressure. The reinforcing member may be made of a plastic material such as polypropylene or high-impact polystyrene. Methods of manufacturing reinforced form panels are disclosed.
摘要:
An insulating corner wall form comprises inner and outer foam panels arranged to provide a fixed space therebetween for receiving the poured concrete, the fixed space comprising a corner of about 90 degrees; a plurality of ties connecting the inner and outer panels. The ties comprise first and second corner ties, each extending from a respective first location at the inner panel to a respective second location at the outer panel. Each second location is a distance from a panel corner of the outer panel of from about 20% to about 80% of the thickness of the fixed space between opposite parallel portions of the inner and outer panels.
摘要:
A subfloor component comprises an insulating rigid foam panel having first and second opposing faces and a plurality of intersecting grooves to define, in cross-section, a plurality of pedestals having at least one wall extending into the panel from the first face toward the second face; a film of substantially moisture-impervious material attached to the first face of the panel and that conforms to the tops and walls of the pedestals and to the bottoms of the grooves; and a hardboard layer on the second face of the panel.

A finishing arrangement for an exterior wall of a building includes a weather or water barrier against at least the exterior of the wall; an outer hardboard panel; an insulating foam panel between the weather or water barrier and the outer hardboard panel, the insulating foam panel attached to the outer hardboard panel and having drainage channels therein; and a drainage guide that extends from the weather or water barrier to at least the outer hardboard panel, for guiding moisture away from the wall.
摘要:
A tie for connecting and maintaining first and second panels of a concrete formwork in a fixed, spaced relationship during a wall building process is provided. The tie includes a first connector connectable to the first panel; and a second connector connectable to the second panel and connectable to at least one third panel such that the at least one third panel is spaced from the concrete surface.
摘要:
A ventilation panel for a soil gas barrier system includes: an insulating foam body having first and second opposing faces and a plurality of grooves to define, in cross-section, an interconnected plurality of ventilation channels having walls that extend into the ventilation panel from the second face toward the first face; and a film of substantially gas-impervious material attached to at least one of the first face and the second face.
摘要:
A tie for a concrete formwork comprises: a tie anchor configured to be embedded in a block of insulating material, the tie anchor having a first connecting feature accessible from a concrete-facing surface of the block; and a tie member having a second connecting feature configured to connect to the first connecting feature of the tie anchor. The tie member has at least one connector for connecting to an abutting tie member.
