Description:
BUILDING ENVELOPE SYSTEMS

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates primarily to a new and improved building envelope systems, and more particularly it relates to the building envelope systems which improve performances of the wall assembly including significantly increased speed of assembly of everything from framing through faqade installation.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Traditional sheathing materials and weather barriers are not quite efficient to provide good thermal and acoustic performance, and significant weatherproofing of wall assemblies.

[0003] Hence, there is a significant need and void in the market to invent complete Building Envelope Systems which improve performances of the wall assembly including significantly increased speed of assembly of everything from framing through faqadc installation by combining Division 5 and Division 7 work into one process which results in mass reduction of materials used including elimination of most mechanical fasteners, lighter weight, better thermal, greatly increased weather-proofing of wall assemblies as well as between wall sections when pre-fabricated, no weather-barrier penetrations, greater planarity between pre-fabricated wall sections both in assembly and in installation onto buildings, less risk shipping pre-fabricated wall sections, ability for use in stick-built and prefabricated wall assemblies, full adjustability to plane and level walls is made for stick-built applications for improved wall planarity, consistency in faqade mounting regardless of faqade material type, and increased structural by means of combining former components into single components for better axial and bend strengths.

[0004] Each of these improvements would be notable advancements in these fields.

SUMMARY OFINVENTION

[0005] In accordance with the present application, novel and useful Building Envelope Systems is herein provided which includes new products and methods of manufacture, fabrication and installation including a new framing member which replaces traditional studs, replaces Continuous Reinforcing Channels (CRC) and their attachment clips, eliminates sheathing fasteners, and replaces sub-framing by providing their attributes into a single structural component which also supports exterior insulation. A new sheathing product will replace traditional sheathing such as fiberglass-

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) faced gypsum and all mechanical fasteners to install them, and will replace weather-proofing membranes such as peel-and-stick or fluid applied by providing their combined attributes into a single structural component. A minimal amount of adhesive is used to eliminate almost all mechanical fasteners. New head and sill tracks will replace traditional framing tracks, and replace at least in part, much of the flashing materials used. A new product and method for installing prefabricated wall sections onto buildings which doesn’t penetrate the structural head track.

[0006] Established products and manufacturing processes including Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) products and processes will be used to make the new structural framing, sub-framing and sheathing component. FRP will also be used to make the new combined sheathing and weather-proofing component. In addition, FRP will be used to make the new combined head/sill tracks and flashing components. Fibers used in the FRP process may vary depending on project requirements to include fibers such as glass, Kevlar, basalt and carbon. Example, for thermal performance glass fibers may be used, but for ballistic performance Kevlar fibers may be used.

[0007] These new products’ use of FRP’s to create complete building framing and sheathing, as well as the elimination of most mechanical fasteners, will provide for extreme thermal efficiency which will translate to lower operating costs for the life of the building. The use of certain adhesives along with FRP’s are also anticipated to help reduce vibration for better acoustic dampening/deadening performance.

[0008] Facades including many types of cladding materials may be used somewhat interchangeably when face-fastened. Cladding such as Metal Composite Materials, fiber-cements, phenolics, metal sheet and plate, and single-skin roll-formed products do not have to change their installation process to help eliminate variability in their installation speeds.

[0009] Metal supports will be used minimally for occasions when additional pull-out strength is needed such as for fastening cladding to the new FRP framing member. These metal supports may be made of a material such as galvanized steel which may be cut on a shear and bent on a brake press. These components may then be installed into the new framing member by means of sliding the steel into the FRP which will friction-fit into its final position when fully installed with or without adhesives used for additional holding strength.

[0010] The new FRP head and sill tracks as well as the new FRP framing members are made to encompass the new FRP sheathing/weather barrier. This encompassing, along with adhesives used

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) on the full perimeter of the sheathing/weather barrier, will provide a water-proof wall, roof, floor, soffit or other structural building system.

[0011] Rubber-like seals will be used as a continuous head track seal to not allow water to gain access between prefabricated wall sections mounted to a building in curtainwall fashion. This material will be made of a material such as extruded rubber silicone or neoprene. They will be shaped to partially or fully cover flanges, webs, insulation, and other seals, and may have insulation injected inside its hollow openings to better seal and insulate. This seal may be adhered, frictionally fit, and/or be mechanically fastened to other materials to positionally hold in in place until the wall panels are installed which will then permanently hold them in place. The seal may have one or more sides having an incline plane to shed water, to allow for a premium shape when axial, lateral or bend pressures are applied, and will help hold adjacently placed insulation in place, pinching it between the seal and another surface.

[0012] It may be apparent that novel and useful Building Envelope Systems has been hereinabove described which will work and be used in a manner not consistent with conventional products and methods to provide great improvements in many facets of the manufacturing, assembly, installation, and overall performance of complete building envelope systems.

[0013] It is therefore an object of the present application to provide Building Envelope Systems which are lighter, stronger, easier, and less expensive to manufacture compared to traditional practices.

[0014] It’s another object to provide a single structural member which replaces traditional studs, sub-girt framing systems and sheathing fasteners and most of their associated installation labor.

[0015] It’s another object to provide a single sheathing component which replaces traditional sheathing and weatherproofing as well as most of their associated installation labor.

[0016] It’s another object to provide head and sill tracks which incorporate the full or partial shape of commonly used metal flashings. Metal flashings such as those used for window openings and wall enclosures may be made much smaller and adhesively attached to parts of the head and sill tracks. By attaching these smaller adhesively applied metal flashings to the FRP head and sill tracks, the flashings will be much easier to keep a straight-looking appearance, whereas traditional flashings tend to bend with the installation of each mechanical fastener because they warp the

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) flashings when torqued down.

[0017] It’s another object to provide universal structural members with built-in cavities which allow sheathing, rubber gaskets, inside and outside structural FRP corners and other materials to be inserted into to provide a means to quickly and easily attach many different materials to each other without use of additional materials and labor.

[0018] It’s an object of this application that all parts and components may be manufactured with additional holes, bends, knurling, and punching, as well as the addition of different or multiple adhesives for use in all locations for the purpose of structural, thermal, acoustic, weather-proofing and other improved performances, including the use of mechanical fasteners, built-in anti-rotation mechanisms and other features which don’t depart from the spirit of this application.

[0019] It is another object to incorporate a new prefabricated wall panel to wall panel installation means when mounting fully assembled wall panels onto building super-structures.

[0020] Another object is to provide head and sill tracks which have built-in drainage, where exposed or required, at a minimum of 2% slope.

[0021] Another object is to provide sloped entrances for steel inserts to “snap” into position so that smaller segments may be used instead of full-length, or to simplify the installation process of the steel into the FRP, whether installed with or without adhesives.

[0022] Another object is to provide steel angles or other shapes which are snapped into the FRP which allows other sub-framing such as steel angles to be attached to increase the length of the subframing for aesthetic or planarity purposes.

[0023] Another object is to provide multiple locations where the new sheathing and or strips of the new sheathing may be installed into the new structural framing in multiple locations in order to “box” the structural framing together to increase the rigidity between two studs or within a complete wall assembly. Reference the “H” slots on one end and in an intermediate location within the new structural framing member.

[0024] Another object is to provide a new structural framing member which uses segmented webs, whether “I-shaped”, “L” shaped, box-shaped, or other to reduce cost and weight.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) [0025] Another object is to provide “snap-in” sub-framing to framing connections on both sides of the framing to increase structural composite loads, allow for easy dimensional changes, provide a means to connect two separate wall sections together by using sub-framing with snap-in attachments on two or more sides.

[0026] Another object is to provide inside and outside comer assemblies which are easy to install into flat wall assemblies.

[0027] This invention possesses other objects or advantages especially as concerning characteristics and features thereof which will become apparent as the specification continues.
