Foam wall structures and methods for making them are described. The wall structures include a frame, a mesh mechanically fastened to a front surface of the frame, a foam panel at least partially abutting and overlying the mesh, and a foam layer disposed in a cavity defined by the frame, the mesh, and the foam panel. Buildings that include such wall structures are also described.

A wallcovering system allows for the rapid creation of interior walls through bonding panels that could be foam or another material to which polyurea adheres. The panels could have joints therein to physically join the panels while the primary adhesion results from the application of the polyurea or another derivative. Also, particles or other additives could be placed in the walls to enable additional functions.

The present invention relates to a full-cavity concrete slab structure with high integrity and stability and excellent performance, a cavity structure, and a steel bar framework. The slab type concrete structure is internally provided with a slab type concrete structure unit. An external concrete shell of the slab type concrete structure unit is internally provided with oblique concrete partitions. Both ends of the external concrete shell are sealed. Two side panels of the external concrete shell form enclosed air cavities together with the corresponding oblique concrete partitions and the sealed ends at the both ends. The air cavities are arranged in continuous rows in a staggered manner. The steel bar framework is provided in the external concrete shell and the oblique concrete partitions. The present invention implements high integration of energy saving and environmental protection of structures and buildings. The slab structure not only satisfies the load-bearing resistance requirements of an original wall structure, but also makes the structure safer and more earthquake-resistant and disaster-proof, namely, the self-safety, self-energy saving, and self-environmental protection of the structure are fully achieved. The slab structure needs neither an exterior veneer and an interior veneer, nor materials such as middle embedded thermal-insulation and fireproof materials, and can be applied as a variety of concrete slab structures for buildings, and thus the product has a wide range of applications.

A shell system for a building, facilitating internal bottom-up flow of air inside the shell system, the shell system includes a plurality of modular thermal panels, and connecting means for interconnecting the plurality of modular thermal panels or a portion thereof Each of the modular thermal panel includes an enclosed frame having two side faces, a top face and a bottom face, wherein two openings are formed in the frame's faces: a sealingly enclosed internal face and a sealingly enclosed external fac wherein an inner gap, filled with air, is formed between the internal face and the external face. At least one frame-opening is formed in each of the faces of the frame, allowing air to flow between adjacent modular thermal panels, that are sealingly interconnected, while allowing the inner air flow.

Modular wall panels having a frame of a plurality of frame components and at least one wall sheet affixed to the frame. Frame component may have angled ends, straight ends, or a combination thereof. Each end of the frame components may have at least one fastener or at least one corresponding receiver to selectively connect adjacent frame components end on end in forming a frame, including corners. Frames can thus be assembled in the field and are fully customizable. A hub may be utilized with multiple sides having fastener(s) or receiver(s) to interconnect frame components. A wall system includes a plurality of such wall panels connected to one another along the outer surfaces of the frame components of their respective frames.
