Abstract

The current methods of a construction panel (including but not limited to drywall, plywood etc) installation require a fastening (or attaching by other methods) construction panels to a frame, build from frame elements spaced in the certain interval. The construction panel surface is usually monotonous without any grids to determine the frame element's position, which requires an additional marking, measuring or any other identification of the frame element's position and often leads to a wrong fastening of the panels. A modified construction panel (including, but not limited to drywall, plywood, cement panels, artificial panels, wall panels, floor panels, ceiling panels etc) panel is invented, with a preprinted (or applied by any other method, before or during or after the manufacturing of the panel) a grid (guiding network) (or any other marks, including, but not limited to grooves, folds, imprints, holes etc) drawn or applied by any other method to the surface or another part(s) of the panel in the certain intervals and in different directions, corresponding or correlating with the frame element's spacing. This will provide a construction worker with an easy way to identify the position of the frame elements and significantly reduce the time and increase the quality of the construction panel installation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A constructing panel to cover a frame and to form internal and external surfaces of walls, ceilings, floors or any other internal or external structures, including but not limited to drywall panel, gyps panel, plywood panel, cement panel etc. 
   
   
       2 . The construction panel recited in  claim 1  wherein said having a guiding network for marking the intended locations of nails or other fasteners. 
   
   
       3 . The guiding network recited in  claim 2  wherein said is pre-printed on the construction panel surface, or applied by any other method of manufacturing. 
   
   
       4 . The guiding network recited in  claim 2  wherein said composed from different elements organized in different directions for marking the intended locations of nails or other fasteners in construction panels. 
   
   
       5 . The guiding network recited in  claim 2  wherein said having a color coding system such that different spacing patterns use different colors. 
   
   
       6 . The guiding network recited in  claim 2  wherein said having a pre-manufactured pattern of the target markings desired by the user may depend on a variety of factors, including the type of frame elements being used, the types and sizes of fasteners being used, and the load requirements. 
   
   
       7 . The guiding network recited in  claim 2  wherein said having pre-printed markings which can utilize a variety of measurement systems, including, but not limited to English and metric.
