The invention relates to a laminate, in particular for manufacturing a construction panel, consisting of a combination of at least one carrier material layer made of a non-flammable non-woven impregnated with a resin and at least one decorative material layer made of a decorative paper that is impregnated with a melamine formaldehyde resin and is optionally dyed and/or printed. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a disclosed laminate and especially a construction panel.

A cladding system for a building structure. The system includes a multilayered panel and at least one fastener including a base portion securable to the frame, and a barbed portion projecting from the base portion for penetrating at least a rear face and backing layer of a section of the panel. The barbed portion includes a cental planar member with barbs extending laterally to each side of the central planar member and is sized such that the front face of the panel is not penetrated by the fastener when the panel is secured to the wall frame.

Described herein is an stain and sag resistant acoustic building panel comprising a porous body formed from building material and latex binder, wherein the building material may include fibers and filler and at one of the building materials has been pre-treated with a charge-modifying component, thereby enhancing the sag-resistance of the building panel.

Described herein is a wall assembly for use in walls of energy efficient residential or commercial buildings which can provide improved thermal resistance, moisture resistance and structural capacity. The wall assembly includes a frame assembly; a sheathing layer; a closed cell inner foam layer for coupling the layer to the frame assembly; and an outer fiberboard. Also described herein is a method of manufacturing the wall assembly.

A structural insulated sheathing including a rigid foam insulation board having a first face, a structural member having a second face, wherein the first face of the foam insulation board is laminated to the second face of the structural member over substantially 100% of the interface between the first face and the second face.

Gypsum panels, sheathing systems, and methods of making and using the same are provided. A gypsum panel includes a gypsum core associated with a first fiberglass mat having a continuous barrier coating, the coating penetrating a portion of the first fiberglass mat opposite the gypsum core, wherein gypsum penetrates a remaining fibrous portion of the first fiberglass mat such that voids in the first fiberglass mat are substantially eliminated. A building sheathing system includes at least two gypsum panels and a seaming component to provide a seam at an interface between the gypsum panels.

The wall assembly includes a frame assembly; a laminated outer sheathing layer; and a closed cell inner foam layer for coupling the layer to the frame assembly. Also described herein is a method of manufacturing the wall assembly.

A structural insulated panel is provided. The structural insulated panel comprises a substantially flat PET foam core having a predetermined length, width, and thickness. At least a fiberglass layer is disposed on each of a first and a second surface of the PET foam core. At least a groove is disposed in the PET foam core. The at least a groove is disposed in proximity to an edge of the PET foam core and is adapted for accommodating a joining element therein.

A reinforced water-resistant board includes a cover board with a reinforced water-resistant membrane applied to a surface of the cover board. The reinforced water-resistant membrane includes a primer layer, a reinforced membrane, a traffic coat, and a sealing layer. The primer layer is applied over the surface of the cover board. The reinforced membrane includes fleece soaked in a liquid resin and is applied over the primer layer. The traffic coat is boned to the reinforced member. The sealing layer is applied over the traffic coat.

Gypsum panels, sheathing systems, and methods of making and using the same are provided. A gypsum panel includes a gypsum core associated with a first fiberglass mat having a continuous barrier coating, the coating penetrating a portion of the first fiberglass mat opposite the gypsum core, wherein gypsum penetrates a remaining fibrous portion of the first fiberglass mat such that voids in the first fiberglass mat are substantially eliminated. A building sheathing system includes at least two gypsum panels and a seaming component to provide a seam at an interface between the gypsum panels.
