The present invention concerns a partition wall for a building structure comprising a plurality of building units separated by such partition wall to provide acoustic insulation therebetween, said partition wall comprising: a plurality of column assemblies, such as at least two, substantially vertically mounted in a generally horizontally oriented base profile, each column assembly comprising a central element made of mineral wool fibres and at least a first spacer elements made of mineral wool fibres and extending from said central section towards the first side with a first intermediate profile provided between the central element and the first spacer elements and a second intermediate profile provided on the side of the central element facing the second side of the wall, a second spacer elements made of mineral wool fibres and extending towards the second side of the partition wall; and wherein the density of the mineral wool in the central element is higher than the density of the first and second spacer elements, one or more insulation sections fitted between two adjacent column assemblies, wherein each insulation section comprises an inner mineral wool fibre panel provided in a close fit between the central elements of said adjacent column assemblies; first and second mineral wool fibre panels provided in a close fit between the first and second spacer elements, respectively, of said adjacent column assemblies, and wherein the densities of said first and second mineral wool fibre panels are substantially the same and lower than the density of the inner mineral wool panel; and an first external wall cover abutting the first mineral wool fibre panel and secured to the first spacer elements of the adjacent column assemblies, and a second external wall cover abutting the second mineral wool fibre panel and secured to the second spacer elements of the adjacent column assemblies.

A partition wall has a structure with a wall end portion butted against another building structure and exposed to architectural spaces. An end post at the end portion of the wall is constituted from first and second end post elements, which are spaced apart from each other, so that a gap or an isolation zone interrupting a propagation of a solid vibration or insulating a path for propagating the solid vibration is formed between the first and second elements. An interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on one side of the wall is fixed to the first element and the interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on an opposite side of the wall is fixed to the second element.

Modular structures for creating functional spaces are disclosed herein. The modular structures can include partitions, such as walls, storefronts, and/or doors that can be easily assembled in a desired space and selectively paired together to create a desired floorplan suitable for the environment. These modular structures can be used together to create a suitable layout for a co-working space, an office environment, a school, a hospital, a laboratory, a factory, and various other indoor spaces.

A structural stud post assembly comprising a center receiver section having opposing receiver channels formed by side walls and angled flanges, and a pair of raceway inserts also defining a raceway channel for accepting wiring and equipment to be disposed in the raceway. The raceways can be installed in the receiver channels to accept and accommodate wiring and equipment. The center receiver comprises a thermal break at about a midpoint to prevent there from being a metal-to-metal thermally conductive pathway through the stud. The structural stud post may be used in the construction of modular building systems.

An insulation cap for wall framing members comprising a base section; a first side wall extending outwardly from said base section; a second side wall laterally spaced from said first side wall and extending outwardly from said base section complementary to said first side wall; a generally U-shaped channel defined by said base section, said first side wall and said second side wall define for receiving a framing member so that at least a portion of an exterior surface of said framing member is encased by said base section, said first side wall and said second side wall; whereby a thermal break is provided between an exterior and interior sheathing around framing members and creates an airtight arrangement with insulation material for improved R values.

A method for insulating a pier and beam foundation on a structure, wherein the pier and beam foundation includes at least one floor joist, at least one pier, at least one beam, a side skirt, flooring, and plumbing including at least one pipe, may include applying a synthetic underlayment to the at least one floor joist and to a bottom surface of the flooring; laying a radiant insulation board end-to-end across the at least one floor joist, over the synthetic underlayment, and along the side skirt; and applying a tape to adjacent radiant insulation boards to seal joints there between. The method may also include wrapping the at least one pipe with spray foam, a foam pipe insulator, and duct tape.

An insulated framing member assembly includes a framing member for constructing the framing a building. An insulating layer is coupled to the framing member and the insulating layer is comprised of a thermally insulating material. A sheathing panel is positioned against the insulating layer and the insulating layer inhibits thermal communication between the framing member and the sheathing panel. In this way the insulating layer enhances thermal efficiency of the building. Additionally, the sheathing panel defines a planar component of the structure of the building.

A wall structure having an inner wall, a bracket member, a non-combustible board, and an outer cladding coupled together and retaining insulation between the inner wall and the outer cladding. The non-combustible board is positioned between the bracket member and the outer cladding.

A composite reinforced, optionally treated, wood stud for permanent wood foundations, above ground walls, floor joists, vertical support columns or headers for commercial and residential buildings has a first lumber section having a width and a depth and a second lumber section inverted with respect to the first lumber section having a width and a depth. A plurality of adjacent, aligned in a longitudinal row, mechanical fastening dowels angularly pass through the depth of the first lumber section and pass substantially through the width of the second lumber section. The dowels maintain a spatial relationship between the first and second lumber sections. The angularity of the dowels alternate vertically oppositely between adjacent dowels. From an end view, the dowel alternate in a cant relationship with adjacent dowels in a left and right manner.

A process for producing a recess (negative base) in the base region of a wall construction in the drywall technique, preferably a wall construction with fire protection and/or sound insulation, wherein for the wall construction on a stud frame, using board-shaped construction elements, preferably construction elements containing gypsum and/or cement, a paneling is attached on both sides of the stud frame, and wherein at least one side of the stud frame is provided with a double-layer paneling, the outer paneling layer of which is recessed in order to produce the recess in the base region, a compensating insulant is introduced into the intermediate space between the panelings of the stud frame at least over the vertical height of the recess in the base region in order to compensate the weakening of the base region resulting from the recessed paneling.
