A framing assembly is disclosed including a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a body defining an edge portion. The second connector includes a base and a flange in communication with the base. To interconnect framing components of the framing assembly, the second connector is engaged with the first connector such that an engagement surface of the flange abuts the edge portion of the first connector restricting movement of the second connector relative to the first connector.

Structural Panel Chase Connection Manufacture Methods are the embedded frame solution to the problems associated with providing access for services, such as plumbing or electrical chases with high precision and accuracy. Connecting two or more panels in any direction using the embedded frame method becomes easy yet incredibly strong without requiring special tools for assembly or disassembly, so that components can be flat packed and stored when not in use.

Flexible and variable these Structural Panel Chase Connection Manufacture Methods can accommodate a wide variety of dimensional configuration, not limited to only panel, post and beam configurations and can be manufactured using any available flat building materials.

A wall assembly for a soundproof space includes a wall module having a first wall and a second wall joined together at end portions of the module to form an enclosure therebetween, and sound absorbing material within the enclosure. The enclosure is formed of the first wall and the second wall, and the first wall and/or the second wall provides an incombustible surface. A soundproof booth includes the wall assembly.

A micro office wall panel with a layer of backed mineral felt along a side wall. There is further a cavity created along an opposite side wall. Also, in the middle of the lower part of the wall panel there is a radial fan situated under the layer of the backed mineral felt under the cavity. In the area of the radial fan, the side wall facing out of the micro office features a suction hole. Above the radial fan there is an inlet of an air supply line that is situated longitudinally in the middle of the cavity. There are also inlets for two air exhaust lines, each of which is situated longitudinally in the cavity along their sides. The wall panel further features exhaust lines and an acoustic damper.

A pre-formed header assembly creates a rough wall opening for a metal door/frame, permitting completion of electrical, ducting, drywall, etc. prior to receiving/installing the door frame. The header is secured to first and second king studs at respective locations positioned beyond a desired door frame location. The header includes four different channels, one of which is utilized at two locations. The first channel has a first length to span between the king studs. The second channel has a second length, and the third channel a third length, which correspond to minimum dimensional requirements for completing the wall. The base of the second and third channels are each fixedly secured to the base of the first channel. The base of the fourth and fifth channels are fixedly secured to the first and second ends of the base of the first channel, respectively, substantially perpendicular thereto, for attachment to the king studs.

A vertical wall framing stud defines a vertical exterior-facing surface, a vertical interior-facing surface opposite the vertical exterior-facing surface and a long vertical side surface spanning between the vertical exterior-facing surface and the vertical interior-facing surface. A plurality of vertically spaced-apart cutouts can be defined into the vertical wall framing stud along the vertical exterior-facing surface. A ridge can be defined between an adjacent pair of the vertically spaced-apart cutouts. The ridge can include an exterior-facing planar surface that is vertically oriented. An exterior wall board can be fastened to the vertical exterior-facing surface of the vertical wall framing stud. An air gap is formed between each cutout and the inside-facing surface of the wall board. The air gap lowers the thermal bridging effect that occurs due to the framing stud being in contact with the exterior wall board.

It is described herein an adjustable rigid clip assembly comprising an anchor plate joined with a connector plate and a slide plate. The anchor plate is joined with the connector plate at a juncture having a juncture angle between the anchor plate and the connector plate in a range of between 0 and less than 180. The connector plate comprises at least one connector plate slot and at least one connector plate lock. The slide plate may comprise at least one slide plate lock. The at least one slide plate lock may be engaged with the at least one connector plate lock. The slide plate may further comprise at least one slide plate tab passing from the slide plate through the at least one connector plate slot.

A wall panel for building construction comprising a frame made of a plurality of non-porous studs or channels; a flat wall material movably attached to the frame such that the flat wall material may be moved in preparation for a flood event; and one or more adjustable or telescoping legs pivotally attached to the flat wall material, the legs designed to hold the wall material substantially perpendicular to the floor in preparation for a flood event. The wall panel enables the home or business owner to lift the flat wall material out of harm's way in the event of an expected flood and further allows the home or business owner to store personal items on the wall panel in the event of an expected flood.

A vertical wall framing stud defines a vertical exterior-facing surface, a vertical interior-facing surface opposite the vertical exterior-facing surface and a long vertical side surface spanning between the vertical exterior-facing surface and the vertical interior-facing surface. A plurality of vertically spaced-apart cutouts can be defined into the vertical wall framing stud along the vertical exterior-facing surface. A ridge can be defined between an adjacent pair of the vertically spaced-apart cutouts. The ridge can include an exterior-facing planar surface that is vertically oriented. An exterior wall board can be fastened to the vertical exterior-facing surface of the vertical wall framing stud. An air gap is formed between each cutout and the inside-facing surface of the wall board. The air gap lowers the thermal bridging effect that occurs due to the framing stud being in contact with the exterior wall board.

A functional wall module for at least partially forming an individual space in a building and for positioning and selectively repositioning one or more objects within the individual space. In one implementation, the functional wall module includes a frame having a plurality of frame supports that define an interior space of the frame. The functional wall module additionally includes a bracket configured to support or couple to moveable platforms, the bracket comprising one or more bracket arms extending away from the interior space and from the frame. The functional wall module additionally includes a positioning mechanism within the interior space and connected to the bracket such that the positioning mechanism is operable to reposition the bracket.
