  • Patent number: 6634148
    Abstract: An improved method of forming an insulated poured concrete wall, a system for forming an insulated poured concrete wall, and an insulated poured concrete wall are provided. The system includes spaced-apart wall forms defining a cavity, a plurality of insulating panels adjacent at least one of the opposing wall surfaces, and a plurality of the elongate retaining strips between adjacent insulating panels, wherein each of the elongate retaining strips includes a portion that projects into the cavity and/or each of the elongate retaining strips has at least one notch through which a wall tie passes. The system allows building materials such as drywall, siding, paneling, and the like, as well as heavier objects, such as cabinets to be more stably and durably secured to an insulated poured concrete wall, and facilitates construction of an insulated concrete wall using fewer components and less labor.
