ABSTRACT:
A vertically suspended refractory curtain wall having two courses of refractory shapes, the refractory shapes having flat exposed faces and an opposite face having a horizontal central recess, the portion of the refractory extending above the recess forming an upper hanger portion and the portion of the refractory extending below the recess forming a lower hanger portion, the lower hanger portions of one horizontal row of first course of refractory shapes fitting within the upper portion of the horizontal recess of an opposing horizontal row of side-by-side refractory shapes forming a second course and suspending that row, the next adjacent lower row of the first course of refractory shapes having their upper hanger portions fitting within the lower portion of the horizontal recess of the same second course refractory shapes and are suspended thereby, and so on, to form a vertically suspended refractory curtain wall. The refractory curtain wall provides a structure having smooth faces on both sides, which is self-supporting without the need of side bucking, and has no straight through joints. The refractories on opposite sides of the wall may be of different quality, if desired.
