An improved wall and/or ceiling construction and method suitable for both interior and exterior application comprised of compressed straw or other such construction panels wherein the finished wall contains no exterior surface penetrations through the panels, thus providing a substantially seamless outer surface. The improved construction is comprised of spaced and aligned flanged beams, each beam having both interior and exterior flanges. Exterior panels are attached to the exterior flanges so as to provide a continuous exterior wall or roof surface with all attachments made through the exterior flanges and penetrating only the inside surface of the panels. Interior panels are attached to the interior flanges by means of a connecting clip along a first edge and a plurality of disc connectors along a second edge so as to provide a continuous interior wall or ceiling surface with no penetrations therethrough. The flanged beams are provided with a plurality of openings that provide a pathway for cables and wiring along the interior of a finished wall or ceiling. The construction and method may be adapted for use with existing conventional wall constructions to utilize only interior panels and provide an interior wall with no surface penetrations.
An improved method for constructing a wall including a plurality of rigid, self-supporting panels, said panels each having a substantially rectangular shape with an inner and outer face and a top, bottom, front and rear edge, said front and rear edges having, along a centerline, a plurality of symmetric recesses for accepting a symmetric connector inserted therein, each said panel further having a width equal to the distance between said front and rear edges, said method comprising the steps of:
An improved wall construction for positioning a plurality of rigid, self-supporting panels to provide exterior walls and/or divide or partition interior building space comprising:
