Description

Manufactured interior finishing systems

Conventional construction is performed at the construction site. People in various professions (eg carpenters, electricians, and plumbers) measure, cut, and install materials as if each unit was a single piece.

Embodiments address the factors described above and other considerations, among others, that occur in a manufacturing environment rather than a construction site environment, and are driven more by a building process that is completed off-site.

In some embodiments, a building may have units, dwellings, rooms, etc. with interior walls and ceilings. In some embodiments, a manufactured interior wall finishing system and a manufactured ceiling finishing system may be installed when a building is being constructed. The manufactured interior wall finishing system and the manufactured ceiling finishing system may provide a part of the interior of a building. In some embodiments, the manufactured interior wall finishing system and the manufactured ceiling finishing system may be coupled to one or more structural framing members of a building. In some embodiments, manufactured interior wall finishing systems and manufactured ceiling finishing systems may be attached to interior walls (eg, demising walls), ceiling/floor panels, and/or structural framing members. In some embodiments, manufactured interior wall finishing systems and manufactured ceiling finishing systems may be configured to be installed in buildings without tools. For example, a manufactured interior wall finishing system and a manufactured ceiling finishing system can be installed by hand in a building.

In some embodiments, the material construction of the manufactured interior wall finishing system and the manufactured ceiling finishing system may include steel. In some embodiments, the material composition may include aluminum. In another embodiment, the manufactured interior wall finishing system and the manufactured ceiling finishing system are made from wood and wood polymer composite (WPC), wood-based products (lignin), other organic building materials ( bamboo) to organic polymers (plastics), hybrid materials, earthen materials such as ceramics, or any other suitable material or combinations thereof.

Granular aggregate may include sand, gravel, polymer, ash and/or other minerals.

Some implementations allow a user to complete an apartment or hotel with a kit of manufactured components that can help reduce labor costs, shorten completion times, and reduce first cost. Some implementations of manufactured finished wall systems include kits of components flexible enough to meet a variety of requirements. For example, you can use the same system to create a bedroom wall, a living room wall, a kitchen wall, and a bathroom wall.

Some implementations of the fabricated systems described herein may meet the above requirements, among others. In some embodiments, the foundation of the finish can include a cold formed steel hat channel that can be attached to any standard wall (eg, a dimming wall). The surface of the cap channel may have a simple aluminum extrusion or a glass fiber reinforced draw. The draw is a member having a constant cross-section and is formed by a continuous process for the production of a composite material having a constant cross-section, wherein the process includes pulling the material. Extrusions or draws allow a very wide range of finishes to be attached to and removed from walls, and can provide a finishing system that can be repaired with little or no tools. In some embodiments, the closure extrusion simply catches the panel edge and snaps onto the cap channel extrusion. In some embodiments, the panels can be of various sizes and thicknesses. In some implementations, the wall system can include shelf brackets. In some embodiments, the same extruder and draws can be used for shower walls, bathroom walls, and the like, with slight modifications.

Some implementations may include a flexible design to accommodate a variety of finishing material types. For example, wood, metal and quartzite can all be accommodated. In some implementations, low-cost standardization components may be included.

Using embodiments, an apartment or hotel room wall can be finished in several different configurations following large scale, low cost manufacturing techniques. In some implementations, wet or dry systems can accommodate shower walls and living room walls with the same standardized construction component.

Some implementations may provide flexible configurations that allow tall walls (eg, 20 feet high) and very long walls to be finished with the same system. In some embodiments, a damaged panel can be repaired simply by removing the snap closure extrusion (no tools required), replacing the panel, and then snapping the panel extrusion back into place.

Some implementations may include an accessible design in which electrical equipment, plumbing pipes and HVAC duct work can be easily accessed from behind the completed panel system. In some implementations, the snap closure angle can include a drilled hole (eg, 12 inches in the center) that allows for hanging a television, picture, and the like. Some embodiments may include vertical shelf extrusions that allow placement of shelves, cabinets and countertops.

Designers and architects are looking for affordable ways to meet people's built environment needs, and one potential solution is an integrated solution. An integrated solution may include two (or more) components that are separate existing products and installations that are integrated into a single product solution. Some implementations of the manufactured ceiling finishing systems described herein are integrated solutions that use the same supports to secure the ceiling panels, provide power, and support the ceiling lighting fixtures. Many existing systems can be reduced or eliminated by integrating low voltage wiring into the ceiling support system of the manufactured ceiling finishing system.

By mounting the ceiling channels on a regular ceiling and using a combination of ceiling grids and light rails, some implementations can quickly provide high-quality acoustic ceilings with the flexible possibility to add lighting fixtures anywhere along the light rails. . Ceiling grid light rails can be held in place with ceiling panel clips. These clips allow the installer to quickly move the rail to the desired position and hold the rail in place.

In some implementations, acoustic ceiling panels can be positioned between the rails by rotating the ceiling grid tracks to accommodate each subsequent acoustic ceiling panel. The procedure to complete the ceiling mounting, including the luminaires, takes a few minutes.

In some implementations, the ceiling channels can be mounted to traditional ceilings or to factory pre-assembled floor/ceiling panels. In some embodiments, field installed ceiling grids and/or lighting rails include low voltage conductors that are cut to length at the factory and allow the lighting fixtures to fit anywhere along the length of the lighting rail.

In some embodiments, acoustic ceiling panels can be easily removed and replaced in minutes if damaged. In some implementations, installation of ceiling grids and lighting rails using ceiling panel clips can be performed quickly and inexpensively compared to conventional ceiling finishing and lighting systems.

Some implementations may include a flexible configuration layout so that the ceiling system can be used in many different configurations and sizes. Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms can be finished using embodiments of the systems described herein.

Some implementations provide for flexible lighting fixture positions. Some implementations may accommodate various types of acoustic panels. Some implementations provide quick and easy access to ceiling wiring and utilities.
