ABSTRACT:
A building system is disclosed for constructing non-load-bearing walls in a building having preexisting ceiling and floor structures, using substantially dimensionally identical, lightweight wall panels. The wall panels are rectangular and each has a pair of facing sheets adhesively bonded to a plurality of elongate spacers. The facing sheets of each wall panel overlie each other and have aligned side and end surfaces which define sides and ends of the wall panel. Outer ones of the spacers are inset from the sides of their wall panel, whereby the back surfaces of the facing sheets and the outer spacers cooperate to define channels along the sides of the panels. Preformed elongate ceiling and floor runners are secured to the ceiling and floor structures, and the wall panels are positioned, one at a time, in mating engagement with the floor and ceiling runners to form continuous walls. Preformed elongate juncture members frictionally engage side portions of adjacent wall panels and extend between the ceiling and floor runners. The runners and juncture members are arranged so that they perimetrically engage the sides and ends of the wall panels to rigidify the wall panels and to interconnect adjacent wall panels. A plurality of specially formed junction members interconnect the wall panels to form corners, to cap exposed ends of wall panels, and to frame door and window openings formed through and between wall panels. A specially configured juncture member assembly is provided for use where it is required to give a wall the capability to releasably mount shelves and cabinets. The building system utilizes frictionally interfitting components wherever possible to eliminate the need for driven fasteners, whereby damage to wall panels is minimized and panel reusability is maximized.
