Construction technique and structure resulting therefrom

A method of construction of a solid filled wall or partition, said method including the steps of:

• erecting a support frame from spaced apart frame members having boxed mounting flanges that each define an outer flange and an inner flange spaced inwardly therefrom;
• applying an inter layer of solid sheet material to an inner side of the tame and applying an external layer of solid sheet material to an outer side of the frame thereby defining a wall cavity between said internal and external layers of solid sheet material;
• securing said internal and external layers of solid sheet material to the frame by means of self-piercing staples having at least two prongs, wherein each prong of each staple is driven to self pierce and extend through the sheet material and both said outer flange and said spaced inner flange of the adjacent boxed mounting flange of the frame member;
• and
• filling the wall cavity formed between said internal and external layers of solid sheet material with a cementitous material.

A method of construction of a solid filled partition, said method including the steps of:

• erecting a support frame from spaced apart frame members having boxed mounting flanges that each define an outer flange and an inner flange spaced inwardly therefrom;
• applying an internal layer of solid sheet material to an inner side of the frame;
• applying an external layer of solid sheet material to an outer side of the frame thus forming a wall cavity between said internal layer and said external layer;
• securing said internal and external layers of sheet material to the frame by means of self-piercing impact fasteners, wherein said fasteners pierce and extend through both said outer flange and said spaced inner flange of the adjacent boxed mounting flange of the frame member;
• and
• filling the wall cavity with a cementitous material.

A partition or wall construction system, comprising:

• a support fame comprising spaced apart frame members having boxed mounting flanges that each define a solid outer flange and a solid inner flange spaced inwardly therefrom, the frame members being formed from a metal having a relatively high tensile strength;
• a layer of solid sheet material attached to one side of the frame so as to abut said outer flange;
• and
• a plurality of self piercing staples each having two prongs pierced and extended through said layer of solid sheet material and both said solid outer flange and spaced solid inner flange of the adjacent boxed mounting flange of the frame member.

A partition or wall construction system, comprising:

• a support frame comprising spaced apart frame members having boxed mounting flanges that each define a solid outer flange and a solid inner flange space inwardly therefrom;
• an internal layer of solid sheet material affixed to an inner side of the frame by self piercing staples having two or more prongs and wherein each prong is self pierced and extended through the sheet material and both said solid outer flange and said spaced solid inner flange of the adjacent boxed mounting flange of the frame member;
• an external layer of solid sheet material affixed to an outer side of the frame by self piercing staples having two or more prongs and wherein each prong is self pierced and extended through the sheet material and both said solid outer flange and said spaced solid inner flange of the adjacent boxed mounting flange of the frame member;
• and
• a cementitous material substantially filling a cavity formed between said internal layer of solid sheet material and said external layer of solid sheet material.

• and
• a cementitous material substantially filling a cavity formed between said internal layer of solid sheet material and said external layer of solid sheet material.
