Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to modular wall systems and methods of installing modular wall systems in hygienic environments. In one aspect, gap cover apparatus are disclosed. In one aspect, backplate arrangements are disclosed. In one aspect, non-progressive installation methods are disclosed. The modular wall systems can eliminate protruding ledges while maintaining structural integrity and hygienic properties.
Claims26
A modular wall system for medical treatment environments, comprising:
- a support structure;
- a plurality of modular wall units attached to the support structure and arranged as a wall, each of the plurality of modular wall units comprising:
- a panel, comprising:
- a front side,
- a first side turned back at a first oblique angle relative to the front side,
- a plurality of first flanges turned at a second oblique angle relative
- to the first side,
- a second side turned back relative to the front side, the second side opposing the first side, and
- a plurality of second flanges turned relative to the second side;
- and
- one or more seals positioned between the plurality of modular wall units, each of the one or more seals positioned in between the first side of the panel of a first modular wall unit of the plurality of modular wall units and the second side of the panel of a second modular wall unit of the plurality of modular wall units to seal a gap between the first side of the panel of the first modular wall unit and the second side of the panel of the second modular wall unit,
- wherein a plurality of first flanges of the first modular wall unit are configured to interleave with a plurality of second flanges of the second modular wall unit such that the first modular wall unit and the second modular wall unit are each independently detachable from the support structure.
