Wall surfacing and method of application

Abstract

A wall material and method of applying that is configured to provide coverage of wall framing wherein the present invention includes a sprayable wall material. The present invention includes a method that includes securing of a backing panel to wall framing wherein the user desires to cover the wall framing. The present invention further includes utilization of trim members along the upper and lower edges of the backing panel. A plurality of support members are secured to the wall framing adjacent and superposed the backing panel. The support members are spaced so as to provide structural support for the wall material during the spraying process and further serve as a guide for the desired thickness thereof. The method of the present invention can further include utilization of a cover sheet that is releasably superposed to the sprayed wall material during the curing process.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of applying a wall material to a wall frame wherein the method of the present invention comprises the steps of:
 providing a backing panel, wherein the backing panel includes a plurality of support members and is formed in a sheet;   securing said backing panel, wherein said backing panel is secured to wall framing that is desired to be covered;   fastening a plurality of support members, wherein said plurality of support members are fastened to the wall framing being superposed said backing panel, said plurality of support members including opposing base segments wherein said opposing base segments are adjacent said backing panel, said opposing base segments being contiguously formed with opposing riser segments, said opposing riser segments extending upward at an angular orientation towards each other;   securing trim members, wherein trim members are secured proximate an upper edge and a lower edge of the backing panel;   spraying at least one layer of wall material, wherein the backing panel is covered in a sprayable wall material;   troweling the at least one layer of wall material, wherein the at least one layer of wall material is leveled subsequent the spraying thereof;   curing the at least one layer of wall material, wherein the at least one layer of wall material is allowed to cure and dry for a required time period;   sanding the at least one layer of wall material, wherein the at least one layer of wall material is sanded;   applying a coating to the at least one layer of wall material, wherein a coating is applied to an outer surface of the at least one wall material.   
     
     
         2 . The method of applying a wall material to a wall frame as recited in  claim 1 , and further including a step of applying a cover sheet to the at least one layer of wall material, wherein the cover sheet is applied subsequent spraying of the at least one layer of wall material. 
     
     
         3 . The method of applying a wall material to a wall frame as recited in  claim 2 , and further including a step of securing a corner member, said corner member secured to the wall frame wherein the wall frame is perpendicular, said corner member having opposing wall portions superposed perpendicular located wall frame sections, said wall portions having portions extending outward therefrom being perpendicular thereto, said portions extending outward at a distance equivalent to said riser members of said support members. 
     
     
         4 . The method of applying a wall material to a wall frame as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the corner member includes corner portions that are contiguously formed and oriented at a perpendicular angle. 
     
     
         5 . The method of applying a wall material to a wall frame as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said portions of said corner member extend outward from said wall portions at a distance equivalent to said riser segments of said plurality of support members. 
     
     
         6 . The method of applying a wall material to a wall frame as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the trim members include a first portion, said first portion being adjacent the backing panel, said first portion having a second portion contiguously formed therewith, said second portion being perpendicular with said first portion extending outward therefrom. 
     
     
         7 . The method of applying a wall material to a wall frame as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said second portion of said trim member extends outward from said first portion at a distance equivalent to said riser segment of said support member. 
     
     
         8 . The method of applying a wall material to a wall frame as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said trim member further includes a third portion, said third portion being contiguously formed with said second portion and being perpendicular thereto, said third portion being distal to and parallel with said first portion of said trim member.
