Acoustic Performance of Timber Frame Partitions
A partition for a building structure comprises a support frame and a plasterboard affixed to the support frame with a plurality of screws. The plasterboard comprises a gypsum matrix having fibres embedded therein in an amount of at least 1 wt % relative to the gypsum, as well as a polymeric additive that is present in an amount of at least 1 wt % relative to the gypsum. The support frame comprises a plurality of elongate timber members and the average spacing between nearest-neighbour screws is greater than 400 mm.
BUILDING SURFACE SYSTEM INCLUDING VERTICAL RAILS, AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLY
The present disclosure relates generally to building surface systems, for example, suitable for forming an internal or external surface of a building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface system including a support structure and a plurality of building surface products attached to the support structure. The support structure includes a first vertical rail that has a longitudinal section and a vertical receiving slot in the longitudinal section. A first building surface product includes a panel and a first attachment post extending outward from a rear surface of the panel. The first attachment post includes a shaft that extends through the vertical receiving slot of the first vertical rail such that the longitudinal section of the first vertical rail is clamped between a head of the first attachment post and the rear surface of the panel so as to secure the first building surface product against the support structure.
Method for obtaining a vertical or horizontal profiled element for the interconnection of plasterboard panels to walls and element obtained with such method
A method for obtaining a vertical or horizontal profiled element for the interconnection of plasterboard panels to walls, in particular to plasterboard walls that can be applied to in-wall frames for retractable sliding doors or for the provision of drywall dividing walls. The method entails a continuous machining of a metallic lamina by punching or drawing or rolling obtained by using two rollers, one acting as a die and the other acting as a punch, so as to obtain on the metallic lamina a plurality of holes, which are uniformly distributed according to a series of mutually parallel rows.
METHOD FOR OBTAINING A VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL PROFILED ELEMENT FOR THE INTERCONNECTION OF PLASTERBOARD PANELS TO WALLS AND ELEMENT OBTAINED WITH SUCH METHOD
A method for obtaining a vertical or horizontal profiled element for the interconnection of plasterboard panels to walls, in particular to plasterboard walls that can be applied to in-wall frames for retractable sliding doors or for the provision of drywall dividing walls.
The method entails a continuous machining of a metallic lamina by punching or drawing or rolling obtained by using two rollers, one acting as a die and the other acting as a punch, so as to obtain on the metallic lamina a plurality of holes, which are uniformly distributed according to a series of mutually parallel rows.
Portable and removable wall modules for residential living space
Portable and removable wall modules for residential living space are disclosed. The modules create a sound dampening or near-soundproof division of the living space. The modules comprise one or more u-channel bars that attach to the ceiling and wall and one or more adjustable baseboards that sit on the floor. The adjustable active baseboards each comprise a spring-loaded platform that pushes the wall panels upward against the top interior of the u-channel bars and ceiling to create a vertically-sealed division of the living space. The product can be used for all ages and uses; splitting a room for two children, young adults in dormitories or apartments, creating a hard wall that looks good. It provides costs savings avoiding having to move and lease larger spaces, especially in high costs and dense urban housing markets. The product is easy to install, remove and is reusable. It can be relocated when moving from one dwelling to another and it adjusts to differing ceiling heights and room sizes of dwellings.
Enclosure assembly apparatus and method for forming same
An enclosure assembly apparatus can include a plurality of elements that can be arranged to facilitate positioning of an enclosure in a work space such as a room or floor of an office building or other building. Embodiments can be configured to facilitate relatively quick and level positioning of such an enclosure. Embodiments of the enclosure assembled via use of at least one embodiment of the enclosure assembly apparatus can be define a room, a meeting space, a privacy booth, a meeting cubicle, or other type of enclosure or work space within the room or floor of a building.
Demountable wall system with removable cover
A demountable wall system includes a frame component that has a base. The demountable wall system also includes a biasing element and a cover that is removably coupled to the frame component. The cover includes a cover body and an engagement projection extending outwards from the cover body, and the biasing element is configured to bias the cover such that the engagement projection engages the frame component.
PREFABRICATED CONSTRUCTION WALL ASSEMBLY
A prefabricated construction wall assembly comprising: a frame structure having a first thermal expansion coefficient; and a panel configured for covering at least a majority of the a face of the frame structure, said panel having a second thermal expansion coefficient different from the first thermal expansion coefficient, and a solid-surface exterior face exposed to an exterior of the wall assembly and an interior face connected to the face of the frame structure so as to withstand the thermal structural differences between the frame structure and the exterior face.
METHOD FOR OBTAINING A VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL PROFILED ELEMENT FOR THE INTERCONNECTION OF PLASTERBOARD PANELS TO WALLS AND ELEMENT OBTAINED WITH SUCH METHOD
A method for obtaining a vertical or horizontal profiled element for the interconnection of plasterboard panels to walls, in particular to plasterboard walls that can be applied to in-wall frames for retractable sliding doors or for the provision of drywall dividing walls.
The method entails a continuous machining of a metallic lamina by punching or drawing or rolling obtained by using two rollers, one acting as a die and the other acting as a punch, so as to obtain on the metallic lamina a plurality of holes, which are uniformly distributed according to a series of mutually parallel rows.
BRACKET AND ASSEMBLY KIT FOR CONNECTING BUILDING COMPONENTS FOR A DRYWALL CONSTRUCTION AND DRYWALL CONSTITUTED THEREWITH
The invention relates to a bracket for connecting components for a drywall construction, in particular a bracket for a slidable fastening, preferably a slidable ceiling-side fastening, in the framework of a drywall, preferably a bracket for a drywall with a planked, preferably multi-planked, framework. Furthermore, the invention relates to an assembly kit and a drywall with at least one such bracket, as well as the use of such a bracket in dry wall construction.
