Abstract
A core wall structure is assembled by attaching together elements of lightweight thermal insulation material (16) and elements of mineral board (20), positioned between them to serve as webs (20) at spaced intervals. Opposing edges (22) of the webs (20) are exposed on outer surfaces (26,28) of the core wall structure, with recesses (24) around them. Skins (18) of cement-based plaster are applied to the outer surfaces (26,28) to cover the core wall structure at least in part and to embed the exposed edges (22) of the webs (20) at least in part in the cement-based plaster.
Claims21
A structure comprising:
- a core wall structure comprising elements of lightweight thermal insulation material and rigid mineral boards, said core wall structure having two opposing outer surfaces and at least some of said mineral boards being positioned between the elements of lightweight material at spaced intervals to extend transversely across the core wall structure, with opposing edges of the mineral boards being exposed on the opposing outer surfaces of the core wall structure;
- and
- skins of cement-based plaster extending on the opposing outer surfaces of the core wall structure to cover the opposing sides of core wall structure at least in part;
- wherein the exposed edges of the mineral boards are embedded at least in part in the skins of cement-based plaster on the opposing sides of the core wall structure, each of the mineral boards forming a rigid structural connection between the opposing skins of cement-based plaster.
A method of construction, comprising:
- assembling a core wall structure by attaching together elements of lightweight thermal insulation material and rigid mineral boards, said core wall structure having two opposing outer surfaces and at least some of said mineral boards being positioned between the elements of lightweight material at spaced intervals, each of said mineral boards extending transversely across the core wall structure, with opposing edges of the mineral boards being exposed on the opposing outer surfaces of the core wall structure;
- providing recesses around the exposed edges of the mineral boards at the opposing outer surfaces of the core wall structure;
- applying skins of cement-based plaster to the opposing outer surfaces of the core wall structure to cover the core wall structure at least in part and to embed the exposed edges of the mineral boards at least in part in the cement-based plaster.
