Abstract

An elongate unitary wall framing clip and a wall spacing assembly comprising the clip in combination with a stud member are provided for forming a multilayer wall assembly. The multilayer wall assembly includes a base layer comprising plural backing panels and a secondary layer comprising plural secondary panels, with the base and secondary layers being spaced apart by plural stud members. The clip includes an elongate web portion having proximate and distal edges and first and second side surfaces. An elongate full flange portion joins the web distal edge and extends beyond each of the web first and second side surfaces. An elongate half flange portion joins the web proximate edge and extends beyond the first side surface of the web. A first channel for receiving an edge of a first backing panel of the base layer is formed by the cooperation of the web portion first side surface and the half and full portions extending therebeyond. The clip also includes a lip engaging portion joining the half flange for gripping a lip of a stud member. The stud member cooperates with the web second side surface and the portion of the full flange extending therebeyond to form a second channel for receiving an edge of a second backing panel of the base layer. Such a multilayer wall assembly is also provided, along with a method of constructing such a wall assembly.
