Abstract
An exterior building panel includes a panel body having a polymeric framing arrangement including an outer boundary portion extending around an outer perimeter of the panel body and a plurality of crossing frame members extending between opposed first and second sides of the outer boundary portion to define a plurality of cavities surrounded by the outer boundary portion, core insulation material disposed in each of the plurality of cavities, an insulation layer surrounding the framing arrangement and the core insulation material, and an insulating lamina coating covering the insulation layer.

A structural insulated panel comprising:
- a panel body including:
- a framing arrangement including opposed first and second outer frame members secured to and extending between opposed third and fourth outer frame members to define an outer boundary portion extending around an outer perimeter of the panel body,
- a plurality of crossing frame members secured to the first and second outer frame members to define a plurality of cavities surrounded by the outer boundary portion;
- core insulation material disposed in each of the plurality of cavities;
- an outer panel layer surrounding the framing arrangement and the core insulation material;
- and
- a lamina coating covering the outer panel layer;
- wherein the first and second frame members have a C-shaped cross-section receiving end portions of the crossing frame members and the third and fourth frame members between first and second sides of the C-shaped cross-section.
A method of constructing a structural insulated panel, the method comprising:
- joining first, second, third, and fourth outer frame members and a plurality of crossing frame members to form a frame defining an outer boundary portion and a plurality of cavities;
- securing a first panel member to a first side of the frame;
- installing insulation material in the plurality of cavities;
- securing a second panel member to a second side of the frame to enclose the core insulating material;
- and
- applying a lamina coating to exterior surfaces of the first and second insulating panels;
- wherein joining the first, second, third, and fourth outer frame members and the plurality of crossing frame members, comprises receiving end portions of the crossing frame members and the third and fourth frame members between first and second sides of C-shaped cross-sections of the first and second outer frame members.
