A sheathing panel includes a barrier overlay secured to a panel; wherein the sheathing panel is bulk water resistant and has at least one of the following properties: a water vapor transmission rate of at least 7.0 grams per square meter per 24 hours (grams/m.sup.2/24 hours) as determined by ASTM E96-15 procedure A at 73° F. and 50% relative humidity (RH), a water vapor permeance of at least 1.3 perms as determined by ASTM E96-15 procedure A at 73° F. and 50% relative humidity (RH), or an air infiltration rate of less than 0.2 liters per second per square meter (L/s-m.sup.2) at 75 pascals (Pa) as determined by ASTM E2357-11.

Disclosed herein are tiles, systems, and methods related to manufacturing bullnose or other non-straight edge tiles. In a method of manufacturing a bullnose tile, the method comprises the steps of providing a tile, wherein said tile is a fired ceramic tile comprising a base and a decoration; cutting or milling the tile to form a bullnose edge; transporting the tile to at least a first printing station; printing at least one print layer of print media on the bullnose edge; transporting the tile to a curing station and curing the print media to provide the bullnose tile.

The present invention relates to a prefabricated wall assembly that includes an outer frame assembly and an inner frame assembly that are spaced apart from each other. The outer frame assembly includes a masonry panel composed of a plurality of masonry units such as bricks. The inner frame assembly includes an insulation panel and waterproof lining. The prefabricated wall assembly further includes sealing arrangements for allowing the prefabricated wall assembly to seal against similar adjacent prefabricated wall assemblies. The outer frame assembly includes length adjustable side support members for supporting an outer side edge of the masonry panel.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to modular wall systems, modular wall units, and methods of installing modular wall systems for indoor environments such as medical treatment environments. In one implementation, a first outer panel and a second outer panel are spaced apart from each other to form a window, and a front panel is attached to front surfaces of the first and second outer panels. The front panel is formed of a polymeric material or a composite material, and the front panel includes an aesthetic design thereon.

This invention relates to prefabricated, lightweight, multi-component structural modular building panels and modular building systems. The said panels are framed with edge members that have a unique connecting shape, making them modular. The multi-component panel allows for design flexibility and the mass manufacturing of its components. Connectors serve as a link to assemble the panels together, and to connect them to corners, floors or foundations, roof panels and the roof apex member, and or other conventional construction elements. Connectors and members, all with unique connecting shapes, coupled with the said panels, create a structural wall, roof, similar structure or building system. Assembled panels and members incorporate the primary building structure and the building envelope. The assembled panels, members and other components of the building system, in part or whole, can be flat packed for easy transport and shipping, and can be assembled quickly and easily with semi-skilled labor.

A lightweight transportable containerized shelter includes wall panels made of a non-metal composite material coated at least on its inner face with a metal layer for EMI protection. The several wall panels are secured to a metal structural frame without the use of fasteners so as to define a containerized transportable shelter. The shelter meets ISO standards 668 and 1496. The shelter provides a continuous barrier to electromagnetic signals. Moreover, the containerized shelter is amenable to nine high stacking as required for ISO certification.

An exterior wall features interior and exterior insulation layers that comprise facer-laminated foam insulation panels having battens recessed into foam cores thereof at interior and exterior faces of the interior and exterior layers, respectively. A first set of spacer boards between the insulation layers provide an offset therebetween, and thereby create an array of air-filled void spaces for further insulative effect. At the interior side of the interior panels, a second set of spacer boards are installed for offset mounting of interior finishings (e.g. drywall) thereto, thereby creating another insulative array of air-filled void spaces between the interior insulation panels and the interior finishings. Exterior cladding placed directly over the exterior insulation panels is fastened to the battens thereof. On-site construction with a framing nailer is fast and convenient, creating a thermally efficient wall without need for batting insulation, poly sheeting vapour barrier, building wrap or exterior sheathing.

The method for pouring concrete around a window frame begins by spraying a flat surface with a release, followed by positioning window assemblies on the flat surface. The window assemblies include at least a frame, and also possibly a sash, glazing and removable bracing. The window assemblies are secured to the flat surface and then concrete is poured around the window assembly to form a wall. Once the concrete cures around the frame, the bracing is removed, and the wall is tilted/lifted to a vertical position.

Various embodiments for a wall assembly having an acoustic panel defining a plurality of thru-holes that act to break low density mechanically coupled pathways for sound transmission through the acoustic panel for reducing sound transmission are disclosed herein.

A modular panel is provided and includes a sill plate, a top plate, a plurality of vertical studs, and having at least one skin applied to a major face of the modular panel that presents a first edge having a waveform profile configured to connect to an opposing edge of an adjacent modular panel. At least one of the vertical studs is an end stud having a connector element configured to be secured to a complementing connector of the adjacent modular panel. Two or more of the modular panels may be connected together to form part of a shelter.
