Abstract
A method of insitu construction of foam insulated concrete walls. The first step involves assembling concrete forms insitu until there is a first panel, a second panel, a sheet of rigid foam insulation disposed between the first panel and the second panel, a first space between the first panel and the sheet of rigid foam insulation, and a second space between the second panel and the sheet of rigid foam insulation. The second step involves filling the first space and the second space with concrete. The third step involves removing the first panel and the second panel once the concrete has cured.
Description
CA 0220712~ 1997-06-0 TITLE OF THE lNv~NllON:
method of insitu construction of foam insulated concrete walls NAME OF lNv~NlOR:
Morris Victoor FIELD OF THE lNv~NLlON
The present invention relates to a method of insitu construction of foam insulated concrete walls.
BACKGROUND OF THE lNv~NLION
Laid-Open Canadian Patent Application 2,118,343 by Zeeper is illustrative of the approach currently being used to insulate concrete structures. In the Zeeper reference, styrofoam insulation panels are mounted to the exterior surface of a concrete wall. There are a variety of fastening means that are employed, the Zeeper reference discloses one such form of fastening means.
In order to finish a concrete structure to which a styrofoam insulation panel has been mounted, strapping is placed onto the panels of insulation. A weather proof finishing envelope of tin, vinyl or other suitable material is then fastened to the strapping.
This finishing step has obvious drawbacks, as it is labour intensive and, consequently, expensive. It also has drawbacks that are less obvious. The space between the weather proof envelope and the styrofoam is large enough to accommodate a CA 0220712~ 1997-06-0~
mouse and the strapping serves as an ideal runway permitting mice to traverse the wall of the structure. As a consequence, in rural areas mice infestations are common.
SUMMARY OF THE lNVl!;N'LlON
What is required is a method of insitu construction of foam insulated concrete walls which is more cost effective and less prone to mice infestations.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of insitu construction of foam insulated concrete walls.
The first step involves assembling concrete forms insitu until there is a first panel, a second panel, a sheet of rigid foam insulation disposed between the first panel and the second panel, a first space between the first panel and the sheet of rigid foam insulation, and a second space between the second panel and the sheet of rigid foam insulation. The second step involves filling the first space and the second space with concrete. The third step involves removing the first panel and the second panel once the concrete has cured.
With the method, as describe above, a concrete wall is formed which has a sheet of rigid foam insulation sandwiched in the middle of the concrete. The foam insulation positioned in the middle of the concrete wall is not exposed to either the elements or vermin such as mice.
