Abstract
This disclosure relates to a wall construction including an outer panel and an inner panel, the inner panel being formed by at least one wallboard. The outer and inner panels are substantially parallel and are spaced apart to form an interior space between them. Within the interior space and secured to the outer and inner panels are one or more framing members made of roll formed sheet metal. Each framing member comprises a web which extends between and is substantially perpendicular to the outer and inner panels. At an outer portion of the member is formed an outer flange which abuts and is secured to the outer panel. At an inner portion of the framing member is formed at least one tab which extends closely adjacent the inner panel and at least one cutout formed in the member. An adhesive secures the inner portion including the tab to the inner panel. The framing member may further include a clip which extends through the cutout and is attached to the panel.
