Abstract
Frame wall constructions are strengthened against lateral forces. A fiber mesh is applied to one side of the stick members as the wall is constructed. A rigid polymer foam is applied between the stick members. It encapsulates the fiber mesh and upon curing adheres to the stick members. No rigid sheathing material such as oriented strand board is needed to produce a frame wall construction having excellent racking strength resistance. The rigid polymeric foam also insulates and seals the structure.
