Embodiment Construction

[0072]FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a polystyrene insulating element profile 1 according to one embodiment. Element 1 is adapted for use in building blocks used in the construction of structures and preferably elemental structures such as but not limited to walls both structural and internal non load bearing. Element 1 is integrally fitted to a construction block during manufacture of the block such that an integral composite is formed it may be fitted after construction of the block and during construction of a structure inwhcih the blocks are to be used.

[0073] Preferably, element 1 comprises a prismic body made from a material having high insulating properties and is insertable adjacent or in at least one said building blocks to thereby provide a thermal and water barrier to at least one face of each said building blocks. In a preferred embodiment, Element 1 is a generally elongate and approximates the length of a brick which with it will be used. For the purpose of integral...

Abstract

A construction block for use in the construction of elemental structures, including a body having a bottom surface, a top surface, end surfaces, an outer surface which forms part of an outer surface of a structure and an inner face. At least one formation on or in at least the inner face and/or at least one of the end faces receives and retains at least one insulating element. The insulating element provides thermal insulation for the structure formed from such construction blocks.

Description

BACKGROUND [0001] The present invention relates to an improved composite building block and a method of construction using such building blocks using a selected blend of ingredients forming a mortar matrix and an insulating element. More particularly, the present invention relates to an insulting element for use in the construction of a composite building block and in wall constructions using such building blocks. More particularly the present invention provides a building block and a wall constructed from such blocks having superior waterproofing, thermal and insulating properties due to the use of the insulating element. PRIOR ART [0002] There are in existence a wide variety of building blocks each tailored to suit an individual application. [0003] Numerous construction materials have been provided in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,230,195 to Sease; U.S. Pat. No. 5,365,714 to Potvin; U.S. Pat. No. 5,471,808 to DePieri et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,034 to Dueck all ar...
