In-situ fabricated wall framing and insulating system

摘要

A wall system for basements includes a horizontally-extending floor member defining an upwardly facing channel. A first vertically-extending support beam is coupled to the floor member and defines a pair of laterally-adjacent channels separated by a center rib. A second similar support beam is laterally displaced along the floor member with respect to the first support beam. A foam panel is disposed in the upwardly facing channel of the floor member and in one of the laterally-adjacent channels of the first support beam and in one of the laterally-adjacent channels of the second support beam. The floor member, first support beam and second support beam comprise a non-organic plastic material. The foam panel comprises a closed-cell non-organic foam material. The wall system can be formed in-situ and can be configured as a free-standing wall.

主权项

1. A basement wall assembly, comprising:
a horizontally-extending floor member including:
an upwardly facing channel;a horizontal planar portion extending between a front vertical portion and a rear vertical portion, each of the front vertical portion and the rear vertical portion extending vertically upwards from a respective first and second opposing end of the horizontal planar portion;a front horizontal ledge that extends horizontally forwardly from an uppermost end of the front vertical portion, the front horizontal ledge defining a planar ledge surface that is vertically disposed above the horizontal planar portion of the floor member; anda front face portion that extends vertically downwardly in a vertical plane from a forward most edge of horizontal ledge surface, wherein the front face portion has a vertical length dimension that is less than a vertical height of the front vertical portion of the floor member; a first vertically-extending support beam coupled to the floor member, the first support beam defining laterally-adjacent channels separated by a center rib; a foam panel disposed in the upwardly facing channel of the floor member and in one of the laterally-adjacent channels of the first support beam; a top beam engaging a top side of the foam panel; and a wall board disposed on the front horizontal ledge of the floor member and being secured to the first vertically-extending support beam, wherein the floor member, first support beam and the top beam comprise a non-organic plastic material, and wherein the foam panel comprises a closed-cell non-organic foam material.
