Abstract
The present invention provides a foldable and framed wall assembly comprising: a wall frame and at least one wall skin, the wall frame including an upper beam, a lower beam, at least one middle beam, and multiple short rods to connect the upper beam, the lower beam, and the middle beam together. In addition, the wall frame can be folded up for easy transportation and handling, and the wall skin has conventional building acoustic and thermal insulation material attached to the inside and a latch to connect with the frame and looks basically indistinguishable from normal wall skin after installation. Through those structure, the workers can quickly build a wall with strength not much different from a normal wall, while the foldable frame ensures that the wall can be prefabricated in advance in the factory, which can also significantly improve the transportation efficiency.
