A connector for a structural insulated panel includes a base, a pair of sidewalls extending substantially perpendicularly to the base and arranged spaced apart from each other, each sidewall including a rail portion. The connector also includes a body arranged between the pair of sidewalls and defining a first gap between a first sidewall of the pair of sidewalls and the body and a second gap between a second sidewall of the pair of sidewalls and the body. The first gap is adapted to receive a first edge portion of a first layer of the structural insulated panel and the second gap is adapted to receive a second edge portion of the structural insulated panel. The connector further includes a pair of tongues extending substantially parallel to an outer surface of the base and defining a pair of channels therebetween.

A reinforced water-resistant board includes a cover board with a reinforced water-resistant membrane applied to a surface of the cover board. The reinforced water-resistant membrane includes a primer layer, a reinforced membrane, a traffic coat, and a sealing layer. The primer layer is applied over the surface of the cover board. The reinforced membrane includes fleece soaked in a liquid resin and is applied over the primer layer. The traffic coat is bonded to the reinforced member. The sealing layer is applied over the traffic coat.

A building module which is a sandwich panel comprising a first region which provides part of the roof structure of a building, a second region which provides part of the wall structure of the building, and a third region which provides part of the floor structure of the building.

Described herein is a stain and sag resistant acoustic building panel comprising a porous body formed from building material and latex binder, wherein the building material may include fibers and filler and at one of the building materials has been pre-treated with a charge-modifying component, thereby enhancing the sag-resistance of the building panel.

A building construction product with an electroconductive surface, the building construction product comprising a core with one or more surfaces covered by an electroconductive paper comprising carbon fibers, the electroconductive paper being attached to the one or more surfaces of the core. Methods and materials for producing the building construction products with an electroconductive surface and products and methods for shielding an area from electromagnetic waves.

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 multi-layered integrated roofing plank or panel with a base layer comprising engineered or manufactured wood, a water resistant barrier layer covering at least the outer face of the base layer and at least one of the edges of the base layer, and a driplap edge along the bottom edge of the base layer. A texturizing material also may be affixed to, or integrated with, the water resistant barrier layer.

The present invention provides a panel sheathing for making wall and roof structures in which the panels (e.g., wood boards, oriented strand boards, plywood, etc.) are pre-coated at a factory, before installation at the building/construction site, using a polymeric barrier coating having specific water permeability, self-sealing properties with respect to penetrated metal fasteners (e.g., nails) in accordance with ASTM D7349 (modified using 1.5-5.0 inches water depth in hydrostatic head testing over sample of coated panel in which a steel nail is driven to within ⅛ inches of being flush with the panel and conditioning the test specimen for 24 hours at 23° C. prior to hydrostatic loading), as well as anti-blocking properties whereby the coated panels can be transported in stacked configuration without sticking or disintegration of the polymeric barrier coating. The coated panels do not require the use at the installation site of felt paper, house wrap, or additional applied barrier coating to provide excellent weather barrier properties. The present invention also provides methods for constructing the panel sheathing structure as well as for making the coated panels.

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 method for construction using a panel and plank system that may optionally be made of Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (AAC), wherein wall panels are delivered, erected and attached to structural forms and braced with properly designed shoring/struts with form ties and specifically designed “panel ties”. Intermediate bracing is installed at midspan locations where spans are short and there is a possibility of wall buckling. Floor/roof planks are set on top of the walls being cognizant of bearing surface requirements. The deformed and post-tension reinforcing steel is set/installed and any miscellaneous detailing is completed. Thin AAC panels can be installed as form liners for added insulation where dimensions accommodate them. Structural grout or small aggregate concrete is placed, consolidated/vibrated, and finished and allowed to cure to minimum required strengths. Roof pours are given a “crown” to allow proper drainage.
