Problems solved by technology

Whilst many home builders and the general public at large are becoming more aware of the advantages of energy efficient homes, their cost of construction are still quite considerable, particularly due to the labour and materials handling required.

Embodiment Construction

[0026] FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate, in a simplified schematic figure, the construction of a dwelling wall 1 having a structural frame comprising of wooden studs 2 and noggings 3. In this embodiment the studs 2 and noggings 3 are preferably 100.times.50 pine, but in other embodiments may be of different size, timber or material.

[0027] The inner layer of dwelling wall 1 comprises of conventional plasterboard liner 4, which is typically about 13 mm thick, attached to the structural frame of studs 2 and noggings 3.

[0028] The outer layer of dwelling wall 1 comprises of a plurality of lightweight concrete panels 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and 5e. Each standard panel 5a and corner panel 5b is about 600 mm.times.300 mm.times.60 mm, whilst smaller corner panel 5c is about 300 mm.times.300 mm.times.60 mm.

[0029] All panels 5a-c have a tongue 6a along their upper horizontal extent and a groove 7a extending along their lower horizontal extent, for horizontal stacked engagement in tongue and groove relationship...

Abstract

A lightweight concrete panel for use as an outer layer of a dwelling wall, said panel made of concrete mix of cement, sand, BST lightweight concrete aggregate, superplasticiser and water, said concrete mix having a nominal density in the range of 500 to 1500 kg / m<3>. The panel preferably has a backing sheet of polystyrene affixed thereto.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a lightweight concrete panel for use as an outer layer of a dwelling wall and a dwelling wall comprising such a lightweight concrete panel.[0002] In Australia many conventional dwellings have brick veneer walls that typically comprise a structural frame having an outer layer of bricks and an inner layer of plasterboard liner. In recent years such walls have been constructed with insulation foil disposed therein. The use of the insulation foil increases the thermal resistance of the dwelling wall and results in a far more energy efficient home. Whilst many home builders and the general public at large are becoming more aware of the advantages of energy efficient homes, their cost of construction are still quite considerable, particularly due to the labour and materials handling required.[0003] The present invention seeks to provide a lightweight concrete panel that can be used in the construction of a dwelling wall that has a thermal resistance...
