A wall fastener assembly for retaining an exterior wall covering alongside a wall includes a screw, an elongated shank and a washer. The shank is configured to provide a space for a layer of insulation between the exterior wall covering and the wall. The shank comprises a center bore extending along the length of the shank for receiving the screw configured to secure the wall fastener assembly to the wall. The shank also includes a pair of flanges positioned opposite the wall. The pair of flanges form a groove between them. The groove configured to receive a masonry tie, wire tie or a girt track. The washer includes a central portion comprising a center hole for receiving the shank. The wire tie includes a narrow portion configured to be retained by the groove. A seal may be provided on the shank to seal the wall fastener assembly with the insulation.

A box assembly includes a box, a door, an opener, and an insulation material. The box is configured to be installed on a curtain wall. The door encloses an interior space of the box. The opener is configured to open the door. The insulation material is in a compressed state in the interior space when the door is closed. The insulation material is configured to transition to an uncompressed state when the opener opens the door. When the door is opened, the insulation material at least partially extends from the interior space into a safing slot adjacent the curtain wall when the box is in an installed state and the door is opened.

An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction. The exterior wall construction includes a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface including one or more aluminum framing members, wherein the vision glass extends to the finished floor level below. The dynamic, thermally insulating and sealing system includes a first element for receiving the insulating elements and positioned in the zero spandrel area of a glass curtain wall construction including only vision glass to maintain thermally insulating and sealing of the sating slot during exposure to fire and heat as well as movement in order to maintain a complete seal extending across the safing slot.

Described is an approved dynamic construction for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction wherein the exterior wall construction comprises a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface including one or more aluminum framing members. In particular, a process for assembling a unitized panel for use within an exterior dynamic curtain wall assembly, which includes glass, especially vision glass extending to the finished floor level below, is described as well as a unitized panel assembled according to said process and its installation to improve fire stopping at the safing slot.

A wall anchor for use in a cavity wall configured to connect to a veneer tie that joins an inner wythe, and an outer wythe of the cavity wall is disclosed. The wall anchor includes an elongated shaft having a first longitudinal axis, a fastening end section, a receiving end section, and a middle section. The wall anchor system further includes a panel including an interior positioned between at least two end surfaces, and a first insulating member spanning at least a portion of the interior of the panel. The receiving end section of the wall anchor system includes apertures defining an aperture wall for accepting sections of the veneer tie. The wall anchor system further includes a plurality of insulating members covering the aperture wall configured to reduce the transfer of thermal energy by the veneer tie between the inner wythe and the outer wythe.

A method of constructing a hollow wall structure comprising: a step (A) of constructing a grout wall mold; a step (B) of grouted a curable liquid material into the grouting space; a step (C) of removing the first template wall and the second template wall so as to produce a semi-finished hollow wall having the Styrofoam board; and a step (D) of removing a semi-finished hollow wall having the Styrofoam board so as to obtain a hollow wall having a communication space. The communication space has an inflow conduit and a connection channel.

The dynamic, thermally insulating and sealing system comprises a first element for receiving the insulating elements and positioned in the zero spandrel area of a glass curtain wall construction including only vision glass to maintain thermally insulating and sealing of the safing slot during exposure to fire and heat as well as movement in order to maintain a complete seal extending across the safing slot.

A wall tie assembly is provided for use in building construction for connecting a masonry veneer, such as brick or stone, to a building wall while inhibiting compression of building insulation disposed between an internal wall and the veneer. The wall tie assembly includes a washer through which a fastener is disposed and couples to a tie member. The fastener fixes to the structural portion of the wall through the insulation, such that the washer may interface with the exterior surface of the insulation in a manner to form a seal that prevents moisture and air from penetrating through the aperture formed in a weather barrier of the internal wall by the fastener. The tie member attaches between the head of the fastener and the washer and is bent for positioning within mortar of the masonry veneer of the wall.
