Abstract
An improved method of wall construction, and an improved wall construction are provided by the invention. The individual components of the wall are first set in place and then encased in concrete to form a load bearing wall. Multiple channel track units are positioned at the upper and lower edges of the wall, extending therebetween is a plurality of non-load bearing uprights. Attached to the uprights are the various wall components such as doorframes, insulation windowframes, wiring and piping conduits. Forms are then set into place and the concrete is poured, upon hardening of the concrete the load bearing wall is complete, thereby eliminating customary furring strips, inside insulation, sheetrock, and external siding, plastering, stucco, etc.
