Abstract: An aluminum alloy cabinet board is revealed. A plurality of cabinet boards can be assembled into a cabinet assembly. The cabinet board includes a central plate, two lateral base plates and a plurality of cover plates. A hollow part is penetrating through the lateral base plate and a reinforcement tube is mounted into the hollow part. A plurality of pressing bolts is passed through the central plate and the two lateral base plates for fastening and positioning firmly. Thereby the structural strength of the whole cabinet board is improved. The design of the cabinet board also prevents insects from getting therein so that the cabinet board is insect resistant.

Abstract: Insulated supports are provided. In this regard, representative insulated support includes: a framing member having opposing faces and opposing sidewalls extending between the faces, the framing member further having a cutout positioned along a length thereof; and an insulated plug sized and shaped to be received within the cutout such that the insulated plug, when inserted into the cutout, increases an insulation (R) value of the support.

Abstract: A wall is provided comprising an inner wall component, an outer wall component, and a plurality of the moisture control strips described above, disposed between the inner wall component and the outer wall component. The projections on the first wall component contacting face engage one of the inner wall component and the outer wall component. The second wall component contacting face engages the other of the inner wall component and the outer wall component. The moisture control strips are horizontally spaced from each other within the wall.

Abstract: A product, and a wall system utilizing such product, adapted to allow drainage of moisture from a wall of a structure. A sheet of corrugated material forms a plurality of ridges and grooves on opposite sides of the sheet of corrugated material. The sheet of corrugated material is relatively inflexible under a force applied generally perpendicular to the sheet. The sheet of corrugated material has a multiplicity of perforations. A sheet of water permeable material is affixed to one side of the sheet of corrugated material. The product is flexible in a direction along the plurality of ridges and grooves allowing the product to be stocked in roll form. A method of providing drainage of moisture from a wall structure is also disclosed.

Abstract: A building slab is disclosed which is mountable on a support structure and capable of supporting a fixed or mobile load. The slab includes a base structure having a plurality of parallel planks, rectangular in cross-section, and assembled together with nails or screws. The planks have their longitudinal axis parallel to a plane of the slab, and are alternately offset with respect to one another and perpendicularly to the plane of the slab. The base structure is covered, at least over the entire surface to receive the load, with a continuous panel which extends over its entire width and is fixed at least against a top surface of the planks so that the load exerted on the panel is distributed over several lateral planks adjacent to those against which the load is directly exerted. The distribution of the load is along an axis perpendicular to the planks and parallel to the direction in which the planks are nailed or screwed together.

Abstract: A drywall installation apparatus includes a support for holding a piece of drywall to be installed on a stud wall, an extension to adjust the length of the drywall installation apparatus, and a base to which a lifting mechanism may be coupled to raise the drywall installation apparatus and the piece of drywall being supported into a desired position for installation on a stud wall. The drywall installation apparatus further includes an alignment member to assist in orienting properly the piece of sheetrock to be installed on the stud wall.

Abstract: A load bearing-metal panel and stucco substrate cooperates with adjacent panels to form load bearing studs that are interconnected by a metal lath stucco substrate to which stucco can be applied, each panel being generally in the form of a channel in which insulation can be placed, whereby a wall structure can be formed by adjacent placement and interconnection of panels.

Abstract: A wall construction comprising supporting poles, a close-meshed metal net attached thereto and a wall portion consisting of filling material and cast into spaces formed by the supporting poles and the metal net. In the method, supporting poles are mounted in place and a close-meshed metal net is attached thereto. On the outside of the metal net are fastened support boards at spaced intervals. Into spaces formed by the supporting poles and the metal net is cast filling material. The metal net acting as a mould forms part of the wall construction and together with the filling material a reinforcement.
