Modular wall panel assembly

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a prefabricated wall panel, comprising a polymeric outer layer, an intermediate insulative foam layer secured to the polymer outer layer, and a frame. The frame comprises a plurality of vertical load-bearing members. The polymer outer layer, intermediate foam layer and frame are cooperatively configured such that the frame is partially embedded in the intermediate insulative foam layer and spaced apart from the polymer outer layer. The partial embedding of the frame in the intermediate insulative foam layer is such that a portion of the frame extends from an inward-facing surface of the intermediate insulative foam layer, such that a service cavity is defined between the inward-facing surface of the intermediate insulative foam layer and an inward-facing surface of the frame. The service cavity is configured to receive a mechanical, electrical, or plumbing component.
