Abstract:
A prefabricated building panel capable of bearing weight supporting loads, comprised of a pair of spaced apart rectangular metal frame members which are joined along one side by fastening bolts holding them in rigid relationship with respect to each other, and which have on their opposite side a locking means for locking one pair of panel frame members to the fastening bolts of another pair of frame members, and having the interior panel space defined by the frame members filled with an expandable polymeric insulative material which is molded directly to the panel frame members. As a result, load bearing steel stud frame members can be provided with insulation already installed at the factory, thereby eliminating separate insulating steps at the job site.
