Method for modifying walls

摘要

In some embodiments, a form assembly is provided with a form member facing an existing wall, to which sheathing panels are attached. The cavity created between the sheathing panels and the existing wall can be filled with a foamable, adhesive material which adheres to the sheathing panels and the existing wall and creates an adhesive connection between them. In some embodiments, the form assembly is vertically adjustable to facilitate the installation of multiple rows of sheathing panels. In some embodiments, the foamable, adhesive material is introduced in successive layers.

1. A method for modifying an existing wall comprising:
positioning a temporary form member such that an inner surface of the temporary form member faces the existing wall and is separated from the existing wall by a distance; temporarily securing at least one sheathing panel to the inner surface of the form member, thereby creating a cavity between the sheathing panel and the existing wall; filling the cavity between the at least one sheathing panel and the existing wall with a foamable, adhesive material, and allowing the foamable, adhesive material to cure, thereby adhesively securing the sheathing panel to the existing wall; and removing the temporary form member from the sheathing panel.
