Solid-core wall system

摘要

A reconfigurable wall system includes a solid-core wall which is comprised of a plurality of solid-core wall panels arranged in two adjacently abutting vertical layers. Each of the adjacently abutting layers of the solid-core wall comprises a plurality of solid-core panels arranged in edge-to-edge abutment. The abutting edges form vertical seams. The vertical seams in each of the layers of the solid-core wall are laterally offset from the seams in the adjacent layer to eliminate gaps through which light and sound can penetrate or leak. A plurality of vertical studs are disposed on opposite faces of the solid-core panel. Each of the studs is aligned with a stud on the opposite face of the solid-core wall, and a plurality of horizontally spaced apart fasteners extend through the solid-core wall and connect the aligned studs on opposite sides of the solid-core wall. A plurality of wall covering panels are mounted on the vertical studs. The reconfigurable wall system provides improved fire resistance and acoustical resistance and allows flexibility in the selection and replacement of wall covering panels.
