Wall construction and framework combination

Abstract

A wall system includes a framework having a first row of outer studs and a second row of inner studs spaced-apart and staggered from one another. A composite wall structure is supported by the framework and includes an exterior wall formation, an interior wall formation, and an intervening insulation system between the exterior and interior wall formations. The insulation system includes a pair of spaced-apart backing boards mounted to the framework. Foam insulation fills the cavity space between the pair of backing boards. The second row of inner studs are located in the cavity space and surrounded by the insulation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wall assembly, comprising:
 a framework;   a wall construction supported by the framework, the wall construction comprises:   an insulation system including an inner insulation panel and an outer insulation panel spaced-apart from one another to define a cavity space therebetween,   an exterior wall formation including an exterior covering panel outwardly adjacent the outer insulation panel, and   an interior wall formation including an interior panel inwardly adjacent the inner insulation panel.   
     
     
         2 . The wall assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the framework includes a first row of spaced-apart outer studs and a second row of spaced-apart inner studs, and the first row of outer studs and the second row of inner studs are offset from one another. 
     
     
         3 . The wall assembly of  claim 1 , wherein one or more insulation material is disposed in the cavity space. 
     
     
         4 . The wall assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the framework includes one or more studs disposed inside of the cavity space between the inner insulation panel and the outer insulation panel of the insulation system. 
     
     
         5 . The wall assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the second row of inner studs are disposed inside of the cavity space between the inner insulation panel and the outer insulation panel of the insulation system. 
     
     
         6 . The wall assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the outer insulation panel extends between an adjacent pair of first row outer studs. 
     
     
         7 . The wall assembly of  claim 2 , wherein one or more studs of the first row of outer studs and one or more of the second row of inner studs are attached to a base beam lagged to a foundation. 
     
     
         8 . The wall assembly of  claim 7 , wherein each one of the first row of outer studs and the second row of inner studs includes a respective steel stud member. 
     
     
         9 . The wall assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the exterior covering panel of the exterior wall formation includes a layer of coating applied thereto. 
     
     
         10 . The wall assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the layer of coating is waterproof and fireproof. 
     
     
         11 . The wall assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the exterior covering panel is made out of board material that is high strength and water resistant. 
     
     
         12 . The wall assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a first layer of polyurea is applied to an exterior surface of the exterior covering panel. 
     
     
         13 . The wall assembly of  claim 12 , wherein a second layer of coating that is waterproof and fireproof is applied to the exterior surface of the exterior covering panel over the first layer of polyurea. 
     
     
         14 . The wall assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the interior panel of the interior wall formation includes a gypsum-based composition. 
     
     
         15 . The wall assembly of  claim 14 , wherein one or more layers of a semi-gloss, high wear-resistant paint is applied over the gypsum-based interior panel. 
     
     
         16 . The wall assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the insulation material is foam insulation. 
     
     
         17 . The wall assembly of  claim 1 , wherein each of the inner insulation panel and the outer insulation panel includes a respective M90 board. 
     
     
         18 . The wall assembly of  claim 17 , wherein one or more strips of mesh tape are applied to each of the inner insulation panel and the outer insulation panel. 
     
     
         19 . A wall assembly, comprising:
 a framework including a first row of spaced-apart outer studs and a second row of spaced-apart inner studs, the first row of outer studs and the second row of inner studs positioned offset from one another;   a wall construction supported by the framework, the wall construction comprises:   an insulation system including an inner insulation panel and an outer insulation panel spaced-apart from one another to define a cavity space therebetween, and an insulation material disposed in the cavity space,   an exterior wall formation including an exterior covering panel outwardly adjacent the outer insulation panel, and   an interior wall formation including an interior panel inwardly adjacent the inner insulation panel,
 wherein the second row of inner studs are disposed inside of the cavity space between the inner insulation panel and the outer insulation panel of the insulation system, and 
 wherein the outer insulation panel extends between an adjacent pair of first row outer studs. 
   
     
     
         20 . A wall assembly, comprising:
 a framework including a first row of spaced-apart outer studs and a second row of spaced-apart inner studs, the first row of outer studs and the second row of inner studs positioned offset from one another;   a wall construction supported by the framework, the wall construction comprises:   an insulation system including an inner insulation panel and an outer insulation panel spaced-apart from one another to define a cavity space therebetween, and foam insulation material disposed in the cavity space,   an exterior wall formation including an exterior covering panel outwardly adjacent the outer insulation panel, the exterior covering panel of the exterior wall formation includes a layer of coating applied thereto, and   an interior wall formation including an interior panel inwardly adjacent the inner insulation panel,
 wherein one or more studs of the first row of outer studs and one or more of the second row of inner studs are attached to a base beam lagged to a foundation, and
