  • Patent number: 9745739
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel wall construction systems and materials for residential and commercial construction that incorporate grooved lightweight building material units (e.g., blocks, panels, and the like), a plurality of connection devices, a track system, and (injected) polyurethane structural foam. The wall construction system comprises building material units married to a building frame with a plurality of connection devices (e.g., clip fasteners) slidingly retained in a track system that is attached to the building's structural (e.g., load-bearing) framing. The building material units are joined to each other with a suitable binding agent. The cavity between the frame and the building material units is injected with an insulating structural polyurethane foam. The exterior of the wall is finished with a waterproof applied finish such as cementitious stucco. The interior of the wall is amenable to standard finish options.

  • Patent number: 8240103
    Abstract: A novel wall system for residential and light commercial construction that incorporates autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC). This wall system comprises AAC blocks married to a building frame with a system of clips. The AAC blocks are joined one to the next with thin-bed mortar. The cavity between the frame and the AAC blocks is injected with structural insulating foam. The exterior of the autoclaved aerated concrete walls is finished with waterproof decorative stucco.
