A tooling for manufacturing a wall with two concrete walls, between which at least one insulation panel is trapped includes at least one system for positioning the insulation panel composed, on one hand of a dagger having a rod provided with a bearing stop and, on the other hand, of a lock provided with a counter-stop. The lock has at least two notches for receiving a first reinforcement, arranged locally on the circumference of the positioning system, extending set back from a first end of the rod, delimited on either side by retaining stops spaced apart so as to maintain in position the first reinforcement, and defines a housing with a profile converging in the opposite direction to their opening, and arranged according to the length of the positioning system to be able to adjust the position of the first reinforcement according to the length of the positioning system.

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, wherein 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 safing slot during exposure to fire and heat as well as movement in order to maintain a complete seal extending across the safing slot.

An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a sating slat 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. In particular, a process is useful for assembling a fireproof system within a stick build exterior dynamic curtain wall facade, which includes glass, especially vision glass extending to the finished floor level below.

The present invention relates to a prefabricated wall assembly that includes an outer frame assembly and an inner frame assembly that are spaced apart from each other. The outer frame assembly includes a masonry panel composed of a plurality of masonry units such as bricks. The inner frame assembly includes an insulation panel and waterproof lining. The prefabricated wall assembly further includes sealing arrangements for allowing the prefabricated wall assembly to seal against similar adjacent prefabricated wall assemblies. The outer frame assembly includes length adjustable side support members for supporting an outer side edge of the masonry panel.

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.

In a facade assembly (14) for a building (10) with at least one facade element (16), which can be fastened to a wall or an inter-story ceiling (12) of the building (10), and with at least one fire-protection element (18), which can be mounted between the facade element (16) and the wall or the inter-story ceiling (12), the fire-protection element (18) has at least one fire-protection course (32) of an intumescent material.

Furthermore, a method for mounting such a facade assembly is provided, as is a building structure using the facade assembly.

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. In particular, a process is useful for assembling a fireproof system within a stick build exterior dynamic curtain wall façade, which includes glass, especially vision glass extending to the finished floor level below.

A veneer tie for connecting together an outer wall and an inner wall spaced-apart from the outer wall and defining a cavity therebetween. The veneer tie includes a screw anchor, including an elongate shaft for penetrating into the inner wall, a head formed on one end of the screw anchor and an opening formed in the head. A pintle adapted for engaging and being carried by the head of the screw anchor is provided, and extends outwardly from the head and bridges the cavity between the outer wall and the inner wall. The pintle has at least one hook for extending through the opening formed in the head for connecting the pintle to the screw anchor.

A hybrid wall reinforcement wall anchoring system is described for use in masonry cavity walls. The reinforcement and anchor is hybrid device installed within the backup wall and interlocked with novel veneer ties. The novel veneer ties are wire formatives and are manually connected and interlocked with the anchor. Once interlocked and installed within the cavity wall, lateral, vertical and front-to-back veneer tie movement is limited, strengthening the cavity wall structure. The inclusion of a reinforcement wire within the veneer tie and the exterior wall provides a seismic structure.

A cold formed anchor for use in an insulated cavity wall includes a unitary body formed with a driver portion and having large and small diameter portions. The driver portion may be formed with structure for connecting a veneer tie to the anchor. A method of making the cold formed anchor includes cold forming a driver portion and a reduced diameter portion from a blank.
