Insulated building structure and method for assembling same

摘要

A building wall structure and method includes an outer row of spaced upstanding studs and a parallel, inner row of spaced, upstanding studs forming a doubled stud wall with a space between the rows. A plurality of wall insulation units are provided each unit comprising a pair of elongated, relatively thin, blocks of cellular foam plastic, one block of each pair being the mirror image of the other. Each foam block has a top face, bottom face and opposite end faces with tongue and groove configuration for sealing with juxtaposed blocks when stacked in vertical courses to fill the spaces between studs in the same row. Each block has vertical recesses in one side face for receiving the major portion of a stud with the minor portion protruding. Tie rod-spacer elements connect opposite studs. Blocks are assembled by omitting several inner wall studs, inserting the blocks and moving them along the space between the rows of studs for erection as an insulative wall between studs.
