A stiffener 50 for construction elements for providing resistance against deflection and cracking is disclosed comprising a U-shaped cross-section with a web 10 and two flanges 20a, 20b extending transversely from the web 10 and having ribs 30 rising parallel, perpendicular or diagonal from the flanges 20a, 20b. The stiffener 50 is configured to be fixed within the construction element. A drywall stud and a ceiling section provided with a plurality of stiffeners 50 of the present disclosure spaced at desired locations along their length is also disclosed. Such drywall studs and ceiling sections comprising stiffeners 50 of the present disclosure reduce deflection of drywall partition and suspended ceiling system, respectively by up to 50%.

A waterproof and safety framing system is disclosed. The framing system includes a building defining an opening, a wall panel, and a framing assembly. The framing assembly includes receiver and a bottom track. The receiver is installed along an edge of the opening, with the receiver including a receiver bottom wall that defines a receiver ridge extending along a length of the receiver. The bottom track is attached to an edge of the wall panel and including a track bottom wall that defines a track ridge, with the receiver and the bottom track matingly engaging such that the bottom track overlays the receiver and the receiver ridge and the track ridge are proximal one another. The framing assembly is structured to prevent the wall panel from passing through the opening in a first direction.

Steel Framing members for use in load bearing and non-load bearing applications which use less steel, yet provide structural integrity with increased acoustic, thermal, and moisture control performances while supporting cantilevered loads outside of the wall assembly and having higher pull-out and strip resistance of fasteners.

A subarchitectural office system including a first subarchitectural wall, a second subarchitectural wall, and a single arch extending between the first and second subarchitectural walls. The single arch including a first vertical post, a second vertical post, and a first overhead beam. The subarchitectural office system also includes a double arch extending between the first and second subarchitectural walls. The double arch includes a third vertical post, a fourth vertical post, a fifth vertical post, a second overhead beam, and a third overhead beam.

A framing system for constructing a wall frame assembly having a framing member and studs. A template of the framing system has an elongated body configured to be located on a surface of the framing member and a series of spaced apart openings corresponding to locations for placement of ends of the studs. A framing guide of the framing system has a body, a passage that is configured to receive a fastener, and a guiding surface within the passage is disposed at an angle relative to a bottom surface of the body to direct the fastener along a predetermined angle and direction relative to a front surface of the body. The template may be used to locate studs onto the framing member. The framing guide may be used to guide the fastener to connect the stud and framing member.

A positioning and support tool for steel stud top track installations with which to temporarily support the top track in reasonable proximity to its final, installed position so that the track may be quickly and safely installed by one person. The tool uses magnets applied directly to the underside of corrugated steel sheeting or other overhead structural members. A hanger member is attached to the magnets and is capable of being placed beneath the top track to support the track at, or in close proximity to, its final, installed orientation. The tool is configured so that it remains fully effective and equally secure on irregular planes of corrugated steel sheeting while offering an uncompromised and quantifiable weight rating.

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.

Construction unit (1) for building up a frame (2), wherein the frame (2) comprises at least two girders (3a, 3b) and multiple uprights (4), wherein the construction unit (1) comprises a first construction profile (4), a second construction profile (5) and a third construction profile (6), wherein the first construction profile (4) is provided to serve as an upright (4) and the second and the third construction profile (5, 6) are each provided to be part of a respective girder (3a, 3b), wherein each construction unit (1) is provided to form only one upright (4) of a frame (2) and that multiple such construction units (1) are provided to be successively interconnected so that the first construction profiles (4) of successively construction units (1) extend at a distance from one another.

A bridging termination clip for securing the terminal end of a steel channel or spazzer bar to a steel stud. The bridging termination clip may include a horizontal portion having a bridge plate and a pair of opposing legs, the legs extending vertically one from each side edge of the bridge plate in a substantially perpendicular relation thereto; a vertical plate connected to a rear portion of the bridge plate and extending upward in a substantially perpendicular relation thereto; and an opposing pair of side extensions connected to the vertical plate and extending rearward one from each side of the vertical plate in a substantially perpendicular relation thereto.
