Abstract
A building wall system has a plurality of panels positioned adjacent one another for securement to a frame structure of a building via a plurality of fasteners. A plurality of rails secures a façade to the panels. Each rail has a first, second and third portion. The first portion receives the fasteners to secure the bracket to the frame structure. The second portion provides a surface for securement with the façade. The second portion is spaced from the panel so that fasteners do not enter the panel. The third portion rests against the panel to provide rigidity for the rail.
Claims23
A building wall system comprising:
- a plurality of insulated panels, the plurality of insulated panels positioned adjacent one another for securement to a frame structure via first fasteners;
- a plurality of rails, each rail including a first, second and third portion, the first portion positioned between the adjacent insulated panels and including a mechanism to receive the first fasteners to enable the first fasteners to be received in the frame structure, the first fasteners secure the rail and the panels to the frame structure, the second portion receiving second fasteners to secure a facade with the rail, the second portion is spaced from the panels such that the second fasteners do not enter the panels, the third portion supports the second portion, the third portion rests against the panel and providing rigidity to the second portion;
- and
- a façade attached to the surface of the second portion provides an aesthetic appearance.
