Abstract
A composite wall system is provided that employs a single thermally efficient edge extrusion. The present composite wall system does not use sealant at panel joints, is relatively lighter, and experiences substantially little to no thermal bridging found in conventional systems. It provides for an adjustable attachment system to allow panels to be adjusted to maintain optimal spacing along the panel margins and panel seal.
Claims10
A composite panel wall system for spanning from floor to floor in a building structure, comprising:
- a plurality of structural framing members, each having a longitudinal axis;
- a plurality of insulated wall panels, each having a periphery edge and a longitudinal axis, each of said wall panels being affixed to at least one of said framing members wherein the longitudinal axis of each wall panel is aligned with the longitudinal axis of each framing member;
- a first edge extrusion having a protruding male extension extending therefrom with a sealing gasket affixed thereto, said first extrusion received about at least a portion of said periphery edge;
- a second edge extrusion having a channel seal element received about a remaining portion of said periphery edge;
- a jamb tab affixed to a rear surface of each of said panels;
- a clip on a threaded vertical connector affixed to said jamb tab;
- and
- a channel configured to be affixed to a building structure,
- wherein said sliding clip engages with said channel to support said panel on said building structure in a vertically adjustable fashion, and
- wherein said first edge extrusion on a first of said plurality of panels interfits with said second edge extrusion on a second of said plurality of panels positioned adjacent said first panel such that a space left between said adjacent first and second panels allows expansion and contraction wherein said male extension moves within said channel to maintain a seal despite said expansion and contraction.

A composite panel wall system comprising:
- a plurality of insulated wall panels, each having a back surface a longitudinal axis and a periphery edge;
- stud framing members having a longitudinal axis attached to said back surface of each of said insulated wall panels wherein the longitudinal axis of each wall panel is aligned with the longitudinal axis of each framing member;
- a first edge extrusion having a protruding male extension extending therefrom with a sealing gasket affixed thereto, said first extrusion therefrom received about at least a portion of said periphery edge;
- a second edge extrusion having a channel seal element received about a remaining portion of said periphery edge;
- a jamb tab affixed to a rear surface of each of said panels;
- a clip on a threaded vertical connector affixed to said jamb tab;
- and
- a channel configured to be affixed to a building structure,
- wherein said sliding clip engages with said channel to support said panel on said building structure in a vertically adjustable fashion, and
- wherein said first edge extrusion on a first of said plurality of panels interfits with said second edge extrusion on a second of said plurality of panels positioned adjacent said first panel such that a space left between said adjacent first and second panels allows expansion and contraction wherein said male extension moves within said channel to maintain a seal despite said expansion and contraction.
