Abstract
A composite wood prefabricated wall panel configured for reduced moisture absorption includes a composite wood panel body, one or more connection components, and a priming layer. The composite wood panel body includes a front face, a rear face, and at least one edge. The one or more connection components are affixed to the rear face or the at least one edge, and the one or more connection components are configured to secure the composite wood prefabricated wall panel to one or more structural members of a prefabricated wall system. The priming layer is disposed over one or more surfaces of the composite wood panel body.
Claims20
A composite wood prefabricated wall panel configured for reduced moisture absorption, comprising:
- a composite wood panel body comprising a front face, a rear face, and at least one edge;
- one or more connection components affixed to the rear face or the at least one edge, the one or more connection components being configured to secure the composite wood prefabricated wall panel to one or more structural members of a prefabricated wall system;
- and
- a priming layer disposed over one or more surfaces of the composite wood panel body.
A prefabricated wall system configured for reduced moisture absorption, comprising:
- a plurality of composite wood prefabricated wall panels, including at least a first composite wood prefabricated wall panel and a second composite wood prefabricated wall panel, wherein:
- the first composite wood prefabricated wall panel comprises:
- a first front face and a first rear face;
- and
- a first priming layer disposed over at least the first front face and the first rear face, and
- the second composite wood prefabricated wall panel comprises:
- a second front face and a second rear face;
- and
- a second priming layer disposed over at least the second front face and the second rear face;
- and
- a frame module, comprising at least a vertical structural member and a horizontal structural member, wherein:
- the first composite wood prefabricated wall panel and the second composite wood prefabricated wall panel are selectively securable to the frame module, and
- when the first composite wood prefabricated wall panel and the second composite wood prefabricated wall panel are secured to the frame module, the first rear face and the second rear face are oriented toward one another.
A method for forming a composite wood prefabricated wall panel with reduced moisture absorption properties, comprising:
- obtaining composite wood panel body, the composite wood panel body comprising a front face, a rear face, and at least one edge;
- disposing a priming layer over the front face and the rear face of the composite wood panel body;
- and
- affixing one or more connection components to the rear face over the priming layer.
