Casing accessories
The present disclosure is directed to casing accessories for use with multi-component wall systems. Some of the casing accessories of the present disclosure can include a mounting bracket to attach the accessory to a wall structure and a channel formed in part by a spacer that can be adjusted to adjust the channel width in order to encase components of multi-component wall systems that can vary in width from one installation to another. In another aspect, some of the casing accessories can include one or more drainage canals that direct water from one part of the casing accessories to another. In another aspect, some of the casing accessories can impede fire propagation through multi-component wall systems.
MULTI-USE BUILDING BLOCK AND METHODS
A multi-use block including a block body having at least a first leg. The blocks can be placed in different orientations with respect to each other to form multiple interlocking structures. The block can be a variety of materials, including concrete, and when concrete, used for making walls and columns. Methods of making and methods of use are provided.
Wall system and waterproof panel
A waterproof removable panelized wall system permanently resistant to water damage. The present system may be included as part of a complete basement fit out, or may be utilized in a restoration of an area that has incurred water damage and may be used to repair of a wall structure that has been compromised or damaged by a wet condition. A plurality of waterproof, non-absorbent panels are arranged in a wall structure and are removable from and reinstallable on the wall structure. An attachment mechanism in the form of a magnetic component, such as, a magnetic strip or a plurality of magnets is provided to releasably secure the panels and moldings to the wall frame structure.
Process for making a tilt wall comprising a dual gasket assembly
Processes for making a tilt wall comprising a sealed abutment joint between two concrete wall panels comprising a first wall panel, a dual gasket assembly, and a second wall panel, wherein the dual gasket assembly comprises an interior gasket, a support coupling, and a weather gasket, with the support coupling attached to a first edge face of the first wall panel by the metallic channel, wherein the first and second wall panels are aligned adjacent to one another in the same plane, with the support coupling positioned between the first edge face of the first wall panel and a second edge face of the second wall panel, the second edge face of the second wall panel positioned relative to the first wall panel a desired distance proximate the first edge face to form a desired breadth of the abutment joint between the edge faces; and the interior gasket and the outer weather gasket in contact with and compressed against both the first and second edge faces to seal the abutment joint between the edge faces.
Brick clip to build double walls in a construction site
A brick clip to build double walls in a construction site, comprising a base from one face of which at least two projections capable of being inserted into the holes of a hollow brick are projected. The base is flat and has an X shape defining two right side arms and two left side arms. At each end of the arms of the X-shaped base a cylindrical projection protrudes, and at the center of the X-shaped base two parallel elongated projections protrudes. The cylindrical projections of the right side arms are inserted into the holes of one hollow brick, the cylindrical projections of the left side arms are capable of being inserted in the holes of another hollow brick, and the elongated projections are capable of defining a separation partition that keep the distance between the two bricks.
Wall panel module comprising dual gasket assembly
A wall panel module comprising a first wall panel and one or more dual gasket assembly, the dual gasket assembly being suitable for sealing an abutment joint between edge faces of two wall panels and comprising a support coupling, a compressible interior gasket, and a compressible weather gasket, the support coupling comprising a base having a top surface having an interior gasket support and an exterior gasket support on opposing ends of the support coupling, the compressible interior gasket attached to the interior gasket support and the compressible outer weather gasket attached to the exterior gasket support, the compressible interior gasket and the compressible outer weather gasket mounted on the support coupling with the lengths of the compressible interior gasket and the compressible outer weather gasket parallel to one another and also being parallel to the dual gasket assembly length, the bottom surface of the support coupling base further having an attachment area with the dual gasket assembly attached to the first edge face of the first wall panel via said attachment area.
DRIVEN FOUNDATION PILE
A driven foundation pile or pier includes a shaft having a top portion for embedment in a wall or other structure. A top plate and a bottom plate are in planar alignment and are attached to and extend from a bottom portion of the shaft. The bottom plate may have sloped bottom edges coming to a point that extends below the bottom portion of the shaft to facilitate driving the pile into the soil. The top portion of the pile may have openings to facilitate embedment of the pile in the wall or other structure.
THERMALLY ISOLATING MOUNTING BRACKET
A thermal mounting bracket securable to an exterior wall of a building, the thermal mounting bracket comprising: first, second and third walls pairwise substantially perpendicular to each other and forming a corner; the first, second and third walls each defining mounting apertures each for receiving a fastener therethrough to mount the thermal mounting bracket to the exterior wall; the first second and third walls being covered with a thermally insulating material outside of the corner.
Paneled wall system comprising a dual gasket assembly
A paneled wall having sealed abutment joints, the wall comprising a first wall panel, a dual gasket assembly, a second wall panel, and a sealed abutment joint between the first wall panel and the second wall panel, wherein the dual gasket assembly comprises a compressible interior gasket, a support coupling, and a compressible outer weather gasket, and wherein the dual gasket assembly is attached to a first edge face of the first wall panel by the support coupling, and wherein both the compressible interior gasket and the compressible outer weather gasket of the dual gasket assembly are in contact with and compressed between both the first edge face of the first wall panel and a first edge face of the second wall panel to seal the abutment joint between said edge faces.
