Abstract
A modular building panel (10) for use in forming walls. The panel comprises: an inner foam core (36) and a frame (12) surrounding the inner foam (5) core (36). The frame (112) is provided for standing upright to provide two primary faces (18) joined by a number of side portions (20). The side portions (20) of the frame (12) are provided by structural channel members (42). The structural channel members (42) provide a perimeter around the foam core (36). The structural channel members (42) providing flange portions (96) to allow rigid connection of the panel (10) using fasteners extending through the primary faces (18) into the flange portions (98) to provide the panel with a desirable cyclone rating.

A modular building panel for use in forming walls, the panel comprising:
- an inner foam core and a frame surrounding the inner foam core;
- the frame for standing upright to provide two primary faces joined by a number of side portions;
- the side portions of the frame being provided by structural channel members;
- the structural channel members providing a perimeter around the foam core;
- the structural channel members providing flange portions to allow rigid connection of the panel using fasteners that extend through the primary faces into the flange portions.
A corner piece of a modular building system comprising an elongate body providing a female channel and a male projection;
- the female channel and male projection extending along a substantial portion of the length of the elongate body.
A modular building system comprising a first joiner having flange portions and a second joiner having flange portions wherein the first joiner is adapted to receive flange portions of a number of upper side portions of a number of modular panels and the second joiner is adapted to receive flange portions of a number of lower side portions of the modular panels.
A modular building panel for use in providing a recess for a window, the panel comprising:
- a frame for standing upright to provide two primary faces joined by a number of side portions;
- the side portions of the frame being provided by structural channel members;
- the panel having vertical side that provides a stepped configuration where a portion of the side mates with another panel to provide a recess the recess extending between the two panels, the recess able to accommodate a window.
A method of providing a modular building panel comprising:
- providing a wall facing;
- providing a frame having the structural channel members providing a perimeter for receiving a foam core;
- and
- applying a further wall to provide a mould for the foam core;
- and
- filling the mould to provide the foam core;
- wherein the structural channel members provide flange portions that lie against each wall facing;
- the flange portions allowing rigid connection of the panel to another panel or structural element using fasteners extending through the wall facings into the flange portions in the vicinity of the perimeter of the panel to provide the panel with a desirable cyclone rating.
