ABSTRACT:
A system for forming either horizontal or vertical walls characterized by a plurality of beam elements, an arrangement for holding the beam elements to extend parallel to each other with a desired spacing between adjacent beam elements and a filler strip or element inserted between adjacent beam elements. The filler strips have a U-shaped configuration with a crease forming a catch surface for engaging an external shoulder on an edge of each of the beam elements to hold the filler strip with the edge of the leg of the filler strip engaged on a flange of the leg of the beam element. Thus, the mounting of the filler strip is the same regardless of the height of the element relative to the face portions of each of the beam elements. The beam elements can have a flat face portion or be provided with a longitudinally extending depression to subdivide the face portion into two parallel extending subportions.
