Interior wall construction

Abstract

An interior wall system includes one or more wall panels configured of a foam material, such as, for example, expanded polystyrene. Interior wall studs are positioned between adjoining wall panels. One or more track plates is also configured to engage the one or more wall panels at the top and bottom of the one or more wall panels.

1 . An interior wall system, comprising:
 one or more wall panels;   one or more wall studs configured to engage the one or more wall panels; and   one or more track plates configured to engage the one or more wall panels.   
   
   
       2 . The wall system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more wall panels further comprises a protruding portion and a receiving portion. 
   
   
       3 . The wall system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the protruding portion of each of the one or more wall panels is configured to engage the receiving portion of each of the one or more wall panels. 
   
   
       4 . The wall system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the one or more wall studs are configured to engage the protruding portion and the receiving portion of the one or more wall panels. 
   
   
       5 . The wall system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more wall panels are comprised of one or more of: a cement-foam composite; polyurethane foam; polystyrene foam; expanded polystyrene; and, extruded polystyrene. 
   
   
       6 . The wall system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more wall studs is comprised of one or more of: steel; galvanized steel; or, any other metal. 
   
   
       7 . The wall system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more track plates is comprised of one or more of: steel; galvanized steel; or, any other metal. 
   
   
       8 . The wall system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more track plates engages the one or more wall panels at a top or a bottom of the one or more wall panels. 
   
   
       9 . The wall system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the one or more track plates engage the one or more wall studs. 
   
   
       10 . An interior wall system comprising:
 one or more wall panels, wherein each of the one or more wall panels includes a first end and a second end, the first end having a receiving portion configured to engage a protruding portion of the second end such that a first wall panel and a second wall panel can be substantially connected when the second end of the second wall panel is engaged by the first end of the first wall panel;   one or more wall studs, wherein each of the one or more wall studs is configured to be positioned between the second end of the second wall panel and the first end of the first wall panel and is configured to engage the receiving portion of the first end of the first wall panel and the protruding portion of the second end of the second wall panel; and   one or more track plates, wherein each of the one or more track plates is configured to attach to a bottom or a top of the one or more wall panels and is configured to substantially surround the bottom or the top of the one or more wall panels.   
   
   
       11 . The wall system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the one or more wall panels are comprised of one or more of: a cement-foam composite; polyurethane foam; polystyrene foam; expanded polystyrene; and, extruded polystyrene. 
   
   
       12 . The wall system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the one or more wall studs are comprised of one or more of: steel; galvanized steel; or, any other metal.
