Abstract: The embodiments of the invention includes a retrofitting system for the insulation of existing interior walls such as basements; a retrofitting system for the insulation of exterior walls of a structure such as a home needing further insulation without a convenient or economical method to do so within the interior walls. The insulated wall systems of those embodiments provide an economical and efficient method of providing the installation of insulation panels to each of the walls described. The insulation panels are generally of a foam structure supported by horizontal connecting and/or horizontal multi-purpose channels. The horizontal connecting channels and horizontal multi-purpose channels are of a unique design that are easily fastened to an existing wall. In addition to supporting the insulation panels, the channels are structured to provide a moisture gap between the insulation and the existing wall to which they are mounted.

Abstract: The embodiments of the invention includes a retrofitting system for the insulation of existing interior walls such as basements; a retrofitting system for the insulation of exterior walls of a structure such as a home needing further insulation without a convenient or economical method to do so within the interior walls, the inclusion of insulation within the concrete walls of a structure constructed by the tilt-up construction method and a use of elements of the insulated wall system to effectively insulate and provide continuous studding in a conventional “cast-in-place” concrete wall assembly, subsequent to placing concrete. The insulated wall systems of these embodiments provide an economical and efficient method of providing the installation of insulation panels to each of the walls described. The insulation panels are generally of a foam structure supported by connecting and/or corner studs.

Abstract: The invention discloses an insulated buck system for an insulated concrete form ICF) structure having a plurality of extruded channels, a plurality of foam panels; and a plurality of F-connectors wherein the foam panels are inserted within the extruded channels. Pairs of the extruded channels containing foam in between (planks) are coupled to each other by the F-connectors. The structure of the insulated buck system provides and an insulated seal for the window or door installed within the insulated buck system. Additionally mounting plates for mounting items to the insulated buck system are described. A triangular bracing bracket is also disclosed. A kit of parts is described.

Abstract: An insulated concrete wall system is disclosed in which the insulation is provided at the time the concrete wall is poured.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for securing insulation panels to the surface of a poured concrete wall by securing caps to the protruding ends of the ties extending through the wall.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for securing a layer of insulation in place between two spaced apart wall forms while concrete is poured on both sides of the insulation layer.

Abstract: A system for insulating only the interior surface of a concrete wall to be poured between a pair of interior and exterior wall forms. The system includes horizontally extending elongated tie strips which connect to each of the wall forms to hold the wall forms spaced apart, a single layer of insulation positioned in contact with the interior wall form, and a plurality of connectors for securing the single layer of insulation to only the interior surface of the concrete wall. The connectors include an enlarged head portion which engages the insulation and a web portion of smaller cross section which extends through apertures in the insulation and into the space between the wall forms, the web portion including openings for the passage of concrete therethrough.
