A building member is formed from a pair of spaced apart boards connected between the opposed faces by narrow connecting members which extend the length thereof. The edges of the connecting members are preferably retained within channels in the opposed faces of the wooden boards. The boards and the connecting members enclose an insulation space which may be filled with an insulation material. A selection of advantageous connection profiles is disclosed for the connection between the edge of the connecting member and the channel of a board. One of the boards may instead comprise an extruded siding, for example of aluminium or plastic, with a leg extending perpendicularly from the siding forming the connecting member. The building member may be constructed in a simple process and reduces wastage of material which often occurs in forming laminated solid timber building products while offering enhanced insulative properties.
A building member comprising spaced apart first and second members each having a pair of end faces defined by their depth and breadth, a pair of edges defined by their length and thickness and a pair of side faces defined by their length and depth, at least one said member comprising a board, for each said board the thickness being less than the depth and the depth being less than the length, a side face of said first member and a side face of said second member opposed and separated by an insulation space, and
A method of constructing a building member from a pair of boards and at least one connecting member, the boards incorporating on faces thereof channels to accommodate the edges of said at least one connecting member, said method includes:
