Wall finishing system

Abstract

A Basement Finishing System that consists of an Acoustic Suspended Ceiling; Vinyl Laminated Outside Corners; Vinyl Laminated Inside Corners; Extruded Polystyrene Insulation; Vinyl Laminated Substrate; Baseboard Molding; Crown Molding; Pre-Wired Electrical Chases for Outlets and Switches; Laminate Flooring; and Recessed Lighting. The walls composition is made from a “sandwich panel” that measures 4×8′ by 3″. The wall is made of a ½ inch sheet of Aquaboard brand Fiberock from USG on the front side which is laminated with a vinyl finish followed by a 2″ layer of extruded polystyrene insulation placed between another sheet of ½ inch Aquaboard. The wall component is then held in place with a wall suspension system that enables quick installation by affixing an upper channel to the ceiling rafters which then connect to a bracket on the back of the wall and which then rests in a floor track.

1 . A wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure, comprising:
 an Acoustic Suspended Ceiling;   a Vinyl Laminated Outside Corner;   a Vinyl Laminated Inside Corner;   generally rectangular, connectable panels having a first front side consisting of a rigid finishing material layer and an insulating layer and a second backside surface consisting of a rigid finishing material;   a Vinyl Laminated Substrate;   a Baseboard Molding;   a Crown Molding;   a Seam Tape;   a Laminate Flooring; and   Recessed Lighting.   
   
   
       2 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the rigid finishing material layer is laminated with a vinyl finish. 
   
   
       3 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the rigid finishing material layer is unfinished. 
   
   
       4 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first front side of the generally rectangular, connectable panels are comprised of a rigid substrate finishing material layer laminated with a vinyl finish insulating layer;   the insulating layer consists of Extruded Polystyrene Insulation; and   the second back side consists of a rigid fiberock finishing material.   
   
   
       5 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the panel's composition is made from a sandwich panel that measures 4×8′ by 3″;   the panel is made of a ½ inch sheet of Aquaboard brand Fiberock from USG on the front side which is laminated with a vinyl finish followed by a 2″ layer of extruded polystyrene insulation placed between another sheet of ½ inch Aquaboard; and   the panel component is held in place with a wall suspension system that enables installation by affixing an upper channel to the ceiling rafters which then connect to a bracket on the back of the wall and which then rests in a floor track.   
   
   
       6 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 1 , wherein said connectable panels further comprise Pre-Wired Electrical Chases for Outlets and Switches. 
   
   
       7 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the panel is then held in place with a wall suspension system that provides means for installation by affixing an upper or top channel to the ceiling rafters which then connect to a top bar bracket on the back of the wall and which then rests in a floor track. 
   
   
       8 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall suspension system consists of a connector bar, a floor track and a top bar. 
   
   
       9 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 8 , wherein the wall suspension system's connector bar is used for securing the panels to a building structures wall 
   
   
       10 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 9 , wherein the wall suspension system's connector bar consists of
 a first steel plate with a plurality of elongated holes;   a second steel plate mounted to the one side of first steel plates top surface;   the second steel plate further consists of a slot that runs the length of the second steel plate and is perpendicular to the first steel plate; and   the connector bar is used to secure the connector bar to the wall panel and the building's wall or structure.   
   
   
       11 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 9 , wherein the wall suspension system's floor track consists of
 a flat piece of metal that is secured to an existing floor surface via glue, screws, nails, or other known construction means;   the floor track consists of a flat metal bar that has a raised tab portion running perpendicular to the flat metal bar and extending outward;   the floor track has first section that consists of a first top side for engagement with a wall panel and a second bottom side for engagement with a buildings floor surface; and   the floor track also uses a post that extends into the interior of the wall panel that retains the panel in a fixed position and resists movement.   
   
   
       10 . The wall finishing system for use in a building's basement structure according to  claim 7 , wherein the wall suspension system's top bar consists of
 a u-shaped clamp providing means to mount to a building's existing wall or structure and then secure the panel to the building wall or structure by restricting movement of the panel upward and to and from the building's wall or structure;   the top bar consists of a first portion that is mounted to a building's wall or structure;   extending from the back portion is a top portion that has both a top surface and a bottom surface;   the back portion engages a rear surface of a wall panel to secure it in place and restrict movement toward the building's wall or structure;   the bottom surface engages a top surface of a wall panel to secure it in place and restrict upward movement;   the top portion bends to into a parallel plane and position with respect to the back portion to form a front portion that has both an exterior surface and an interior surface; and   the interior surface engages a front surface of a wall panel to secure it in place and restrict movement away from the building's wall or structure.
