Benefits of technology

[0009]The invention contemplates the use of a wall panel comprising a fiber-reinforced concrete rear plate and a plurality of fiber-reinforced concrete masonry units protruding from a face of the rear plate. Each of the masonry units is spaced from the next adjacent masonry unit by a groove for receiving mortar. Shoulders are formed on the periphery of the panel adjacent each of the masonry units for forming a groove that can receive mortar when the wall panel is mounted to the building. In a preferred embodiment, a flashing is formed on at least one edge of the rear plate for being received under a masonry unit of another wall panel. In a preferred embodiment, at least one rib is formed on a m...

Problems solved by technology

A common problem with attaching the screen to the sheathing is securely attaching the screen using enough fasteners to keep the screen in place.
The process of attaching paper, screen and mortar to the sheathing of a conventional building requires substantial skill.
Any problems in constructing the underlying structure may not be apparent to th...

Embodiment Construction

[0029]The panel 10 in FIG. 1 is preferably a single body with one or more masonry units, such as simulated stones 13, 14, 15 and 16 protruding from a rear plate 17. A “masonry unit” is defined herein to be any module that is commonly used to form a weather-resistant surface on a building exterior, and is typically attached by adhesive or mortar with other similar modules, which are then typically grouted in place by injecting mortar between the modules. For the sake of this description, “injecting” includes any manner of placing the mortar into the joints, such as with a grout bag, trowel, or other known manner. The stones 13-16 are not the only size or shape of masonry unit possible on the invention, but are merely exemplary of a common masonry unit: the stone. Other masonry units can be formed on the face of a panel, including bricks and tiles, and other shapes, sizes and colors of stones are contemplated than those shown. Any masonry unit that is commonly mounted to the exterior ...

Abstract

A method of forming an exterior wall of a building, including the wall, includes the step of mounting a fiber-reinforced panel to the building. The panel has a plurality of masonry units protruding from the face thereof that are spaced from one another with a groove between each of the masonry units. The method includes mounting a second, similar panel to the building spaced from the first panel with a groove therebetween, and injecting mortar into the grooves between the masonry units and the groove between the panels. The mortar covers the grooves between masonry units and the groove between panels to look the same, thereby making it difficult to distinguish the repeat pattern.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates generally to a wall on the exterior of a habitable building, and more particularly relates to a wall made of a panel of fiber reinforced concrete stones.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Most habitable buildings are made of vertical support members, such as wood or metal studs or steel beams. The support members form a substructure to which sheets of sheathing material is attached. Typical sheathing includes plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) or some type of lightweight, insulating material, such as that sold under the trademark CELOTEX.[0005]The conventional method of applying masonry units, such as stones, bricks and artificial stone, to the exterior surface of a building, such as a house, involves many steps. Once the sheathing is in place on the building, a tar-paper or other moisture-impermeable sheet is stapled or otherwise mounted to the exterior surface of the sheathing. The n...
