Abstract
A building panel may be used for constructing walls, floors, ceilings or roofs. The panel has a wire frame with wire mesh surfaces on opposing sides. The interior of the frame carries a layer of insulation sandwiched between stucco or concrete exterior layers. Spaces are placed between the layers for air flow as for instance in heating or cooling the interior wall of the panel, and conduits may be encased within the insulation or in the spaces for utilities. The method of panel construction uses a grooved planar surface to hold elements of the frame while the insulation layer is sprayed into place. The wire mesh is completed after the insulation is placed and finally the stucco or concrete is placed engaging the wire mesh exterior of the wire frame to provide exterior surfaces of the panel.
Claims4
A construction panel assembly comprising:
- a first plurality of linear longitudinally oriented wires, joined to a plurality of zigzag shaped bracing wires extending outwardly therefrom to establish free ends thereof;
- a layer of a thermal insulation material fixed onto the bracing wires, the thermal insulation material providing a medial space therewithin;
- a second plurality of linear longitudinally oriented wires fixed to the free ends of the bracing wires so that the first wires and the second wires are in spaced apart correspondence;
- a plurality of laterally oriented wires in spaced apart positions fixed exteriorly to each of the first and second wires, the first and second wires and the laterally oriented wires establishing a planar wire grid network for supporting a construction slurry thereon;
- a layer of a construction slurry fixed onto the first and second wires and the laterally oriented wires so as to provide opposing outside construction surfaces.
A method of construction panel assembly comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a first plurality of linear longitudinally oriented wires, joined to a plurality of zigzag shaped bracing wires extending outwardly therefrom to establish free ends thereof;
- b) spraying a layer of a thermal insulation material onto the bracing wires, while leaving a medial space within the thermal insulation material;
- c) curing the thermal insulation material so as to form a rigid assembly comprising the first wires, the bracing wires, and the thermal insulation material;
- d) fixing a second plurality of linear longitudinally oriented wires to the free ends of the bracing wires so that the first wires and the second wires are in spaced apart correspondence;
- e) fixing a plurality of laterally oriented wires in spaced apart positions to each of the first and second wires, the first and second wires and the laterally oriented wires establishing a planar wire grid network for supporting a construction slurry thereon;
- f) laying-on a layer of a construction slurry onto the first and second wires and the laterally oriented wires so as to provide opposing outside construction surfaces.
