Abstract
An insulated wall panel comprising a bottom, a plurality of inner members, a plurality of outer members, spacers between the inner members and the outer members, an insulation layer, an exterior sheathing, a vapor barrier, a top member and a planar interior wall. The insulated wall panel has a dead air space located just inside of a cavity filled with insulation. The wall panel is adapted to be secured to the frame of a timber frame home without fasteners passing through the entire depth of the panel. Fasteners secure the inner members of the panel only to the frame without destroying the integrity of the insulated wall panel.
Claims22
An insulated wall panel adapted to receive interior sheathing, said insulated wall panel comprising:
- a bottom member,
- a plurality of spaced, parallel vertically extending outer members including two endmost outer members secured to said bottom member, each of said outer members having an inside surface and an outside surface and being of a first length,
- a plurality of spaced, parallel vertically extending inner members secured to said bottom member, each of said inner members having an outside surface and an inside surface and being of a second length,
- exterior sheathing secured to said outside surfaces of the outer members,
- a vapor barrier secured to the outside surfaces of the inner members so as to expose said inner members for purposes of passing wires through holes in said inner members before the interior sheathing is secured to the inside surfaces of said inner members,
- insulation located between the vapor barrier and the exterior sheathing.
An insulated wall panel adapted to receive interior sheathing said insulated wall panel comprising:
- a bottom,
- a plurality of spaced, parallel vertically extending outer members including two endmost outer members, each of said outer members having an inside surface and an outside surface,
- a plurality of spaced, parallel vertically extending inner members, each of said inner members having an inside surface and an outside surface,
- a plurality of horizontally oriented spacers extending between the inside surface of the outer members and the outside surface of the inner members,
- exterior sheathing secured to the outside surface of the outer members,
- a vapor barrier, said vapor barrier being secured to the outside surfaces of the inner members;
- and
- insulation extending between said vapor barrier and said exterior sheathing
- whereby wires may be passed through said inner members without disturbing said vapor barrier prior to said interior sheathing being secured to the inside surfaces of said inner members.
An insulated wall panel adapted to receive interior sheathing, said insulated wall panel comprising:
- a bottom,
- a first set of spaced, parallel outer members including two outermost outer members secured to said bottom, each outer member having an inside surface and an outside surface,
- a second set of spaced, parallel inner members secured to said bottom, each inner member having an inside surface and an outside surface,
- a plurality of horizontally oriented spacers including two outermost spacers, said spacers extending between the inside surfaces of the outer members and the outside surfaces of the inner members, and securing said outer members to said inner members,
- exterior sheathing secured to the outside surfaces of the outer members,
- a vapor barrier secured to the outside surfaces of the inner members and being wrapped around the outermost spacers and secured to the outermost outer members so as to define an interior cavity with said bottom of said insulated wall panel and said exterior sheathing, said interior cavity being filled with insulation, whereby wires may be passed through holes in said inner members without disturbing said interior cavity prior to said interior sheathing being secured to the inside surfaces of said inner members.
