The invention relates to a drywall comprising a first wall section (2) with first stud elements (4), wherein the first stud elements are arranged with a first regular centre distance, wherein in the first wall section a first panelling (5) is arranged at least on one room side (R) of the first stud elements (4). The drywall is characterized by a second wall section (3) with second stud elements (6), wherein a second panelling (7) is arranged in the second wall section at least on the room side (R) of the second stud elements (6) and wherein the second stud elements are arranged with a second regular centre distance (C) which is smaller than the first regular centre distance (A). The invention also relates to a kit and a method for constructing a drywall.

A Z-shaped attachment element for use in building construction is disclosed. The Z-shaped attachment element is made from a single piece of sheet metal that is first cut and then bent to form the Z-shaped cross-sectional profile. The Z-shaped attachment element comprises: an elongated upper flange; an elongated lower flange, wherein the upper and lower flanges are spaced apart and substantially parallel to each other; an elongated middle web section between, and connected to, the upper and lower flanges along respective upper and lower lengthwise bends (wherein the middle web section is diagonal in relation to the position of the upper and lower flanges, thereby defining a generally Z-shaped cross-sectional profile); and a plurality of notches formed along the lower lengthwise bend and into the lower flange and the adjoining middle web section, but not into the upper bend or the upper flange, of the Z-shaped sheet metal attachment element.

The present invention provides a system and method for segmenting spaces. The system may provide an aluminum extrusion system for supporting rigid and flexible panels. The aluminum extrusion system may comprise a custom designed aluminum extrusion that may mount flexible or rigid substrates with interlocking bases and connectors. The system is constructed and arranged to be capable of temporary and permanent installation, and is structurally sound, and safe. The system is design to be capable of effectively blending with the existing décor. The aluminum extrusion system provides a method for segmenting space to maximize the functional space which may be utilized, in a way that is attractive, functional, temporary or permanent, and portable.

A fire-rated receiver channel includes at least one intumescent or other fire-resistant material strip. The receiver channel can nest with a framing member, such as metal tracks, headers, header tracks, sill plates, bottom tracks, metal studs, wood studs or wall partitions, and placed at a perimeter of a wall assembly to create a fire block arrangement. In other arrangements, a track assembly includes two nested tracks, an inner track and outer track. The assembly is designed so that the outside width of the outer track is equal to or less than the outside width of the inner track to present a substantially flush external surface for attachment of exterior sheathing elements when the assembly is used in an external wall.

A Z-shaped attachment element for use in building construction is disclosed. The Z-shaped attachment element is made from a single piece of sheet metal that is first cut and then bent to form the Z-shaped cross-sectional profile. The Z-shaped attachment element comprises: an elongated upper flange; an elongated lower flange, wherein the upper and lower flanges are spaced apart and substantially parallel to each other; an elongated middle web section between, and connected to, the upper and lower flanges along respective upper and lower lengthwise bends (wherein the middle web section is diagonal in relation to the position of the upper and lower flanges, thereby defining a generally Z-shaped cross-sectional profile); and a plurality of notches formed along the lower lengthwise bend and into the lower flange and the adjoining middle web section, but not into the upper bend or the upper flange, of the Z-shaped sheet metal attachment element.

An installation system for partition panels in a room, the system including at least one upper telescopic group, having sections and constrained to the ceiling, and at least one lower telescopic group, having sections and constrained to the floor, a series of partition panels positioned between the upper and lower telescopic groups with coupling-uncoupling groups, where both the upper telescopic group and lower telescopic group comprise a first section and a second section for coupling with each other, the second section slidingly arranged inside the first section and adjustable with respect thereto, each of the coupling-uncoupling groups comprising a first female coupling element and a second male coupling element, one connected to the second section and the other to the partition panel, which can be engaged with each other by a releasable constraint.

A partition wall has a structure with a wall end portion butted against another building structure and exposed to architectural spaces. An end post at the end portion of the wall is constituted from first and second end post elements, which are spaced apart from each other, so that a gap or an isolation zone interrupting a propagation of a solid vibration or insulating a path for propagating the solid vibration is formed between the first and second elements. An interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on one side of the wall is fixed to the first element and the interior finishing panel for defining the architectural space on an opposite side of the wall is fixed to the second element.

A modular partition system includes a non-metallic polymer frame assembly. Horizontal members of frame sub-assemblies of the frame assembly are slidably engaged such that a width of a rectangular opening of the frame assembly can be adjusted by sliding the first frame sub-assembly and the second frame sub-assembly together or apart. Front surfaces of the frame sub-assemblies include notches on their front surfaces. The system also includes a non-metallic rectangular polymer panels with non-metallic pegs. If the width of the rectangular opening is adjusted to a specified width, the notches and the pegs align and the pegs can insert into the notches, thereby attaching the panel to the frame assembly.

Disclosed is a panel enclosure system for enclosing partially unenclosed structures. The system includes a panel member assembly preferably comprising at least two panel members and a securing member that removably secures the panel member assembly over the unenclosed portion of a structure. The panel members of the panel member assembly may be individually removed to vary the degree of exposure to outdoor weather and environmental conditions. Preferably, the panel members comprising the panel member assembly vary in degree of transparency such that users may vary the level of visual exposure to the surrounding outdoor environment by adding or removing panel members.

A seismic protective structure (100) for protecting a board partition (190). The protective structure (100) comprises a first stud (110), a second stud (120), and a wedge (140). The first stud (110) is mounted against a neighbouring wall (150) and the second stud is being positioned spaced from the first stud so that a protective board (130) is mounted on the first stud and the second stud. The structure also comprises a wedge (140) mounted and positioned against the second stud (120) such that the protective board (130) mounted on the first (110) and second stud (120) is pushed at least partly out of the plane of the board partition (190) by the wedge (140) when a given level of seismic stress is appearing.
