The panel has a cantilevered extension projecting beyond the frame to enable the panel to overlap the outside edge of a column, beam, floor or other structure the panel is attached to. The cantilevered section may have reinforcing ribs embedded in the foam and may have a sealing material between the cantilever and the structure it overlays. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A foam composite panel with a cantilever extension comprised of: a. a frame having a border and comprised of one or more frame members having a top edge, a bottom edge and two sides and said frame members are spaced a distance apart and b. a panel supported by said frame and comprised of a cover with polyurethane foam on it's backside adhesively bonding said frame to said cover and said panel having a continuous section continuous over said top edges and extending beyond said border to form a cantilever and c. said panel has one or more dropped sections between said sides and is fixed to said frame members with a sufficient adhesive bond to induce a fixed boundary condition on said panel, whereby said panel has a cantilever extension. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The foam composite panel of claim 1 wherein said cantilever is reinforced with ribs embedded in said foam. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The foam composite panel of claim 2 wherein said ribs extend from within said border. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The foam composite panel of claim 1 wherein a sealing material is applied between said cantilever and a structure overlapped by said cantilever. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The foam composite panel of claim 1 wherein one or more rotational resistance members attached to said sides and/or bottom edge of two or more adjacent said frame members. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The frame supported panel of claim 1 wherein said foam composite panel comprises a cover backed by ribs adhesively bonded to said cover's backside. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The frame supported panel of claim 1 wherein a mesh is continuous over and attached to said top edges. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The frame supported panel of claim 1 wherein said panel is adhesively bonded to said top edges' interface. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The foam composite panel of claim 1 wherein a portion of said frame members extends into said cantilever. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The frame supported panel of claim 1 wherein said panel comprises a slotted panel having slots formed in said dropped section sufficient to contain one or more said frame members. ### Claim 11 A foam composite panel with a ribbed cantilever extension comprised of: a. a frame having a border and comprised of one or more frame members having a top edge, a bottom edge and two sides and said frame members are spaced a distance apart and b. a panel supported by said frame and comprised of a cover with polyurethane foam on it's backside in a continuous section over said top edges and adhesively bonding said frame to said cover and said continuous section extends beyond said border to form a cantilever and c. a multitude of ribs positioned in said cantilever and embedded in said foam and d. said panel has one or more dropped sections between said sides and is fixed to said frame members with a sufficient adhesive bond to induce a fixed boundary condition on said panel whereby said panel has a ribbed cantilever extension. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The foam composite panel of claim 11 wherein said ribs extend from within said border. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The foam composite panel of claim 11 wherein a sealing material is applied between said cantilever and a structure overlapped by said cantilever. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The foam composite panel of claim 11 wherein one or more rotational resistance members attached to said sides and/or bottom edge of two or more adjacent said frame members. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The frame supported panel of claim 11 wherein a mesh is continuous over and attached to said top edges. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The frame supported panel of claim 11 wherein said panel is adhesively bonded to said top edges' interface. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The foam composite panel of claim 11 wherein a portion of said frame members extends into said cantilever. ### Claim 18 A method of prefabricating a foam composite panel with a cantilever extension comprised of: a. fabricating a frame having a border and comprised of one or more frame members having a top edge, a bottom edge and two sides and said frame members are spaced a distance apart and b. positioning a cover material with it's backside up on a prepared surface and said cover has a boundary and c. positioning said frame over said cover's backside with at least part of said cover extending beyond said border to create a cantilever section and said cover is in a continuous section continuous crossing over said top edges and d. applying polyurethane foam onto said backside and said foam expands into one or more dropped sections between said sides and adhesively bonds to said cover, said ribs and said frame and fixes said panel to said frame members with a sufficient adhesive bond to induce a fixed boundary condition on said panel as supported by said frame whereby said foam composite panel with a cantilever extension is prefabricated. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of fabricating a foam composite panel of claim 18 wherein ribs are positioned in said cantilevered section and embedded in said foam.
