Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring now to the drawings, FIGS. 1 and 1A illustrate a wall assembly 10 of a building structure. Of course, the assembly can also be utilized to form roofs or other structures of a building. The assembly 10 includes an inner structural component, 12 or 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the inner structural component is provided as an inner sheathing member 12 that is affixed to support posts, or studs, 14. The inner sheathing member 12 can be panels of plywood, oriented strand board, particle board, insulated concrete, or like materials permitted by local building codes. Alternatively, the inner structural component can be provided by the support posts, or studs, 14, such as when open stud construction is utilized. In open stud construction, the sheathing members 12 would be eliminated.

[0017] A composite building material 16 is fastened as an integral unit to an external side of the inner sheathing member 12. Alternatively, the composite building material is fastened di...

Abstract

A composite building material includes at least one membrane, a spacer material bonded to one face of the membrane, and a lath bonded to an opposite face of the membrane. The components of the composite building material are installed simultaneously as an integral unit within a wall, roof or like assembly. The lath is preferably made of plastic or metal and is used to support cementitious material such as stucco, mortar, plaster, concrete and the like. The spacer material provides ventilation and drainage passages and is preferably provided as separate or integrally-formed spacer elements, an openwork mat, a corrugated material, or the like. Preferably, the membrane is building paper, tar paper, roofing felt, house-wrap material or like weather-resistive material. A wall / roof assembly and a method of assembling a wall / roof structure are also disclosed.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 USC §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 714,882, filed Sep. 7, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a wall assembly having an outer finish layer including stucco, mortar, stone, masonry, concrete, plaster or like cementitious material, and more specifically to a composite building material that is used within such a wall assembly and that prevents the accumulation of moisture therein. [0003] Moisture permitted to accumulate within a wall, roof or like structure of a building typically will cause premature deterioration of the structure. Moisture accumulation can be avoided by providing ventilation / drainage passages within the wall / roof assembly. For example, see U.S. Pat. No. 5,099,627 issued to Coulton et al. and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,594,965 B2 and 6,786,013 B2 issued to Coulton and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004 / 0045242 A1 of L...
