Abstract: A pre-engineered metal building configured to reduce air leakage through the shell of the building by providing an insulation system for fully sealing an enclosed space within the structural frame of the building. The insulation system includes a vapor barrier that defines the enclosed space, at least one insulation layer, and a continuous air barrier. Roof sheeting and side wall facing are attachable to the structural frame to form a shell about the building, and at least a portion of the insulation system is positioned between the shell and the structural frame.

Abstract: An adjustable door frame system includes at least one vertical frame member having a movable vertical subjamb assembly capable of outward movement relative the vertical frame member. The adjustable door frame system also contains a horizontal frame member having a movable horizontal subjamb assembly capable of outward movement relative the horizontal frame member. The door frame system also contains a plurality of adjusting mechanisms coupling the vertical subjamb assembly and horizontal subjamb assembly to the frame members. Each adjusting mechanism includes a hex nut connected to its subjamb assembly with a hex nut clip, and a hollow set screw and guide tube. Rotation of the hollow set screw causes the hex nut to move axially along the guide tube thereby causing the hex nut clip and its connected subjamb assembly to be adjusted outwardly with respect to the door frame system, thereby filling a gap between its frame member and the wall section.

Abstract: A material transport system for delivering and dispensing a large capacity of materials at a construction site using a plurality of removable carriages, each bearing a roll of material, mounted on a movable frame. The frame comprises a pair of dual powered axles each driving either a set of drive flanged rollers, or a set of conveyors, for moving the system along purlins, or joists, of a building. The flanged rollers are used when dispensing of material to a side wall of the building is desired and the building is roofless, and when dispensing of material to an end wall of the building is desired and the building is roofed. The conveyors, which are removably mounted to the underside of the material transport system, are used for dispensing material to a side wall when the building is roofed, and when dispensing material to an end wall when the building is roofless.

Abstract: A carriage having a base frame supported on rolling elements, and an upper frame tiltably supported on the base frame for leveling the upper frame when the base frame is inclined from side-to-side. The upper frame supports at least three rolls of insulation. The carriage is supported on the framework of a building roof and moves along a building wall for dispensing vertical lengths of insulation which are secured to the wall.

Abstract: A wall system is disclosed including a covering member for covering a wall. A support structure is affixed to the wall for supporting the covering member. A support bracket is secured to the covering member and removably engages the support structure, in order to retain the covering member along a vertical wall.

Abstract: A surface covering system, e.g. for covering walls, is disclosed in which a covering member is provided including an overhanging portion. A support structure is affixed to a surface for supporting the covering member. A retaining member interlocks with the support structure and wherein these members engage the overhanging portion therebetween in an interference fit, thereby securely and removably retaining the covering member.

Abstract: A piece of insulation has a body of insulating material and a vapor barrier sheet adhered to the body of insulating material. The vapor barrier sheet has a first tab extending beyond the body of insulating material. The vapor barrier sheet has a portion non-adhered to and overlapping the body of insulating material to form a second tab. A location is defined between the second tab of the vapor barrier sheet and the body of insulating material for receiving a first tab of another piece of insulation.
