The present disclosure relates to a thermal break for use in tilt-up construction. The thermal break generally comprises an elongate body comprising a thermal insulating material. The thermal break may further comprise one or more protrusions extending away from the elongate body. The present disclosure further relates to a method of constructing an exterior wall comprising the thermal break positioned between a fascia wythe and a structural wythe of the exterior wall. The exterior wall may be tilted up to a vertical position during construction of a building, and the thermal break provides a fixture-mounting surface onto which a fixture, for example a door frame, window frame, air venting grill, or other building component can be mounted.

The invention relates to a window mounting system comprising: a building facade having an interior face and an exterior face and comprising a window opening; and a window mounting collar formed from rigid thermal insulating material, the mounting collar having at least one inside face, at least one outside face, a first open end and a second open end; wherein the window mounting collar is affixed to the exterior face of the building facade so as to surround the window opening and extend outwards from the exterior face of the facade, such that the first end of the mounting collar is proximal to the building facade and the second end of the mounting collar is distal from the building facade; wherein the system further comprises a window frame arranged in the mounting collar such that the window frame is separated from the plane of the exterior face of the building facade by at least 10 mm.

The building section comprises a wall and a peripheral window case, into which a window frame is inserted. The window case comprises several support sections arranged a certain distance apart and standing laterally out from the wall, each support section comprising a support part and an insulating part. The first leg of the support part is screwed to the wall, whereas the window frame is screwed to the second leg of the support part. The insulating part surrounds three sides of the second leg of the support part. In the areas between the support sections, the window case comprises insulating sections. The insulating parts of the support sections and the insulating sections bring about a substantially continuous insulation of the window frame around the window case.

The present disclosure is directed to casing accessories for use with multi-component wall systems. Some of the casing accessories of the present disclosure can include a mounting bracket to attach the accessory to a wall structure and a channel formed in part by a spacer that can be adjusted to adjust the channel width in order to encase components of multi-component wall systems that can vary in width from one installation to another. In another aspect, some of the casing accessories can include one or more drainage canals that direct water from one part of the casing accessories to another. In another aspect, some of the casing accessories can impede fire propagation through multi-component wall systems.

An EIFS panel may include a foam body. An EIFS panel may include a penetration through the foam body. An EIFS panel may include a molded structural member coupled with the foam body, wherein the molded structural member finishes the penetration such that no additional field work is required to prepare the EIFS panel for installation. An EIFS panel may include a pre-drilled fastener hole extending through the foam body, the pre-drilled fastener hole configured to align a fastener with a support structure of a building, wherein, when the fastener is inserted through the pre-drilled fastener hole, the EIFS panel is secured to the support structure of the building.

The window well insulation system comprises an inflatable insulation bag disposed in a window well to separate the window in the window well. The window well insulation system may further comprise a mounting bracket, a window well cover, and a weather seal. A closable valve may be disposed in the inflatable insulation bag to inflate or deflate.

An exterior building panel includes a panel body having a polymeric framing arrangement including an outer boundary portion extending around an outer perimeter of the panel body and a plurality of crossing frame members extending between opposed first and second sides of the outer boundary portion to define a plurality of cavities surrounded by the outer boundary portion, core insulation material disposed in each of the plurality of cavities, an insulation layer surrounding the framing arrangement and the core insulation material, and an insulating lamina coating covering the insulation layer.
