A facade element (1D), to be fastened to a building structure with other such facade elements (1A, 1B, 1C) to build one of the external walls of the building. The facade element includes an assembly of sandwich panels fastened to a metal framework, an upper waterproofing membrane that covers up an upper edge of the facade element, and a lower waterproofing membrane (5D) fixed to the inner face of the facade element. The lower waterproofing membrane extends beyond a lower edge of the facade element, up to an outer face of another facade element (1B) placed below. Both the upper and lower waterproofing membranes have overhanging parts (51D), extending beyond the left (35D) and right edges of the facade element. A building facade, and to a process for the assembling of a building facade is also provided.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite building element that includes a casing material, a bulk material, and a locking element, the method including the steps of: (a) continuously feeding a first sheet of casing material into a filling station; (b) securing the bulk material to the first sheet of casing material; (c) continuously feeding the bulk material and the first sheet of casing material out of the filling station; the method characterised by the step of: (d) securing the locking element to the first sheet of casing material prior to securing the bulk material to the first sheet of casing material.

The invention relates to a hollow board material comprising a first sheet and a second sheet. A first and a second lath are arranged in parallel between the first sheet and the second sheet along opposite edges of the hollow board material. The first lath and the first sheet are attached to each other by means of a first metal gripping lamina which at least partly covers the first lath. The second lath and the first sheet are attached to each other by means of a second metal gripping lamina which at least partly covers the first lath. Optionally, the first lath and the second sheet are attached to each other by means of a third metal gripping lamina and optionally the second lath and the second sheet are attached to each other by means of a fourth metal gripping lamina. The metal gripping laminas have a first face and a second face which are opposed to each other. Each face comprises a plurality of sharp projections extending substantially perpendicular therefrom and into the laths or the sheets respectively. The metal gripping laminas thereby provides a hollow board material and increases the bending strength of the hollow board material. The invention further relates to a furniture comprising said hollow board material and method for producing said hollow board material.

A precast composite wall structure and method for forming the wall structure are disclosed. The method includes providing a casting bed defining a plurality of shapes corresponding to a three-dimensional outer surface of a wall structure, placing a first layer of uncured concrete to conform to the shapes defined by the lower surface, positioning a forming member in overlying relation above the frame, the forming member defining a plurality of rectangular-shaped channels therebetween, positioning a stud frame within the casting bed along the forming member, placing a second layer of uncured concrete within the casting bed to conform to the rectangular-shaped channels between the rectangular protrusions, and allowing the concrete to cure.

A drywall including a first wall section and a second wall section, as well as a support structure. The support structure includes first stud elements. In the area of the first wall section, the first stud elements are arranged in a row with first distances and form first support structure bays. A paneling with planking panels is arranged on at least one side of the support structure, and an installation duct is arranged in a second wall section. The support structure has, in the area of the second wall section, a first and a second crossbeam, which, to form the installation duct, form a second support structure bay which extends across at least two first support structure bays that are arranged next to each other. The invention further concerns a method for erecting a drywall.

A light steel framing plenum includes a horizontal plenum member, a vertical plenum member and plurality of screws. The horizontal plenum member includes a pair of horizontal plenum flanges and horizontal plenum web. The horizontal plenum flanges have dimpled screw holes formed therein. The vertical plenum member is attached to the horizontal plenum member. The vertical plenum member has a pair of vertical plenum flanges and a vertical plenum web therebetween. Each vertical plenum flange has a step formed therein for receiving the horizontal flange from the attached horizontal plenum member. A plurality of screws are provided to attach the horizontal plenum member to the vertical plenum member. The lights steel framing plenum provides a generally flat surface for attachment thereto.

Example embodiments of the described technology provide a prefabricated building panel. The prefabricated panel may comprise a rigid insulative core having first and second opposing surfaces. A first cementitious material may at least partially cover the first surface of the insulative core. A second cementitious material may at least partially cover the second surface of the insulative core. At least one embedded element may extend along a peripheral edge of the insulative core.

A watercraft storage structure for storing a watercraft comprises a plurality of supports, wherein each support includes a clamping bracket; a shelf slidably attached to the plurality of supports by the clamping bracket attached to each plurality of supports forming a watercraft storage area; and a support platform positioned within the watercraft storage area, wherein the support platform is adapted for supporting a watercraft; wherein the each clamping bracket includes a first plate and a second plate that operate to press against the support forming a frictional fit with the support.

A structural assembly using at least one anchor assembly for attaching a first structure to a second structure is described. The anchor assembly has a body having a first face and a second face. The first face is transverse to the second face and has an elongate slot. The second face has a through hole. The body is fabricated from a material that fails at a temperature in excess of 1,000° F. A fastening member is positioned in the elongate slot for connecting the first face to the first structure and for sliding engagement with the elongate slot in response to relative movement of the first structure and the second structure.

A border element arrangement includes two or more border elements abutting each other side-by-side. The elements have a frame provided with end bars and a structure connecting the end bars at least in the top part and bottom part of the frame, and disposed to be supported by the frame is a digital display that is capable of displaying a moving image. The display has one or more display panels. In both end bars is a recess, inside which the display is disposed at the point of the end bar.
