Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to construction materials. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to construction using foam materials.
  • Polystyrene a polymer discovered in the nineteenth century, is a highly useful material having a wide variety of applications that is manufactured for use in numerous commercial enterprises.
  • expanded polystyrene is one of several foams used in making insulated panel building materials.
  • These building materials also referred to as insulated concrete forms, are used to form molds for use in constructing walls of buildings. Most commonly, an insulated concrete form for a portion of wall is set in place and the concrete is then poured into the insulated concrete form. The form then remains in place, where it acts as insulation both for curing the concrete and as general insulation for the building or structure being constructed.
  • foams serve as excellent insulators helping to reduce energy costs.
  • Foams also provide superior sound absorption and their use contributes to fast construction of buildings, thereby creating competitive costs for using foams when compared to conventional building methods such as wood framing. These benefits have led to increased use of foams in building certain portions of buildings, such as exterior walls built using insulated concrete forms.
  • foams are used extensively in manufacturing insulated concrete forms for exterior walls of buildings and other structures, use of foams for other building systems and materials is not widespread. What is needed are systems and methods for configuring expanded polystyrene for interior walls of buildings and other structures.
  • Embodiments of the present invention include an interior wall system including wall panels made of foam material, such as, for example, expanded polystyrene.
  • the wall panels are configured to be interlocking.
  • the wall panels may be configured to create a wall having any length, width, height, and shape.
  • the wall system is also characterized by the use of wall studs to hold wall panels in place and to provide increased stability and security of the wall panels.
  • FIG. 1 shows a wall panel
  • FIG. 2 shows an interior wall system
  • Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for interior walls made of foam materials, such as, for example, expanded polystyrene (“EPS”) material.
  • EPS expanded polystyrene
  • the insulating interior wall system of the present invention, and methods of making the same provide a lightweight to heavyweight structural design incorporating steel stud gauges and foam wall panels.
  • Embodiments of the present invention thus provide a high standard of sound insulation for an interior wall and are designed and configured to accept any number of finishes, including, but not limited to, plaster and drywall.
  • wall panel 100 of an interior wall system is shown.
  • wall panel 100 may be configured of any foam material, such as, for example, EPS-cement composites, polystyrene foams such as expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene, and polyurethanes.
  • foam material such as, for example, EPS-cement composites, polystyrene foams such as expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene, and polyurethanes.
  • wall panel 100 includes top 102 and bottom 104 , as well as first end 106 and second end 108 .
  • First end 106 includes receiving portion 110
  • second end 108 includes protruding portion 112 .
  • receiving portion 110 is a groove extending along the height, A, of wall panel 100 .
  • protruding portion 112 is a protrusion extending along the height A of wall panel 100 .
  • receiving portion 110 of first end 106 may receive a protruding portion of a second wall panel (not shown).
  • a receiving portion of a third wall panel may receive protruding portion 112 of second end 108 .
  • embodiments of the present invention provide an interior wall system where multiple wall panels may be configured and arranged to substantially connect to each other to form an interior wall having any length, width, height, and shape.
  • wall panels 102 , 104 , and 106 are made of any type of foam, such as, for example, EPS-cement composites, polystyrene foams such as expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene, and polyurethanes.
  • foam such as, for example, EPS-cement composites, polystyrene foams such as expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene, and polyurethanes.
  • wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 are shown in FIG. 2 , it is to be appreciated that any number and configuration of wall panels of interior wall system 200 is possible and incorporated by embodiments of the present invention.
  • Wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 are configured to be arranged to form an interior wall system having any length, width, height, and shape. Moreover, individual wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 may have any thickness depending on the design needs of the interior wall structure.
  • each of wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 includes a receiving portion and a protruding portion. More particularly, wall panel 202 includes receiving portion 208 , located at a first end of the wall panel 202 , and a protruding portion 210 , located at a second end of the wall panel 202 . Wall panels 204 and 206 include similarly situated receiving portions and protruding portions, although only receiving portion 212 of wall panel 206 is shown in FIG. 1 .
  • interior wall system 200 also includes interior wall studs 214 , 216 , and 218 .
  • interior wall studs 214 , 216 , and 218 are made of metal, such as, for example, galvanized steel.
  • Each of interior wall studs 214 , 216 , and 218 is configured to engage receiving portions and protruding portions of wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 .
  • interior wall stud 216 is configured to engage protruding portion 210 of wall panel 202 and receiving portion 212 of wall panel 204 .
  • interior wall system 200 also includes plate tracks 220 and 222 , which attach to the top and/or bottom, respectively, of wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 .
  • plate track 220 substantially surrounds the top of wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206
  • plate track 222 substantially surrounds the bottom of wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 .
  • track plates 220 and 222 engage ends of wall studs 214 , 216 , and 218 .
  • plate tracks 220 and 222 are made of metal, such as, for example, galvanized steel. It is to be appreciated that plate tracks 220 and 222 can be of any length and can vary dimensionally according to design specifications for specific structural implementations.
  • wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 are placed in plate track 222 , with plate track 222 being attached to a floor or flooring system.
  • Interior wall studs 216 and 218 are placed between wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 , with protruding end 210 of interior wall panel 202 engaging interior wall stud 216 .
  • Interior wall stud 216 also engages receiving end 212 of wall panel 204 .
  • interior wall stud 214 engages receiving end 208 of wall panel 202 .
  • plate track 220 is placed on top of wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 , thus covering wall panels 202 , 204 , and 206 , as well as interior wall studs 214 , 216 , and 218 .
