Abstract
An adjustable building panel support device comprising a building panel support element, a support bracket and at least one connector suitable for attaching an insulated building panel to a substrate for constructing an insulated wall section. The building support element and the support bracket are fixable together at a user determinable position by the at least one connector whereby the distance between the building panel support element and the support bracket can be varied to accommodate surface variations that may be present on a substrate surface.
Claims7
An insulated wall section comprising:
- a building substrate;
- at least one adjustable building panel support device fixed to the substrate, each adjustable building panel support device comprising:
- a support bracket fixed to the building substrate;
- and
- a building panel support element comprising a plate section having a proximal portion and a distal end, a first support flange orthogonally intersecting the plate section at the distal end and configured to support and retain at least one building panel, and a second support flange orthogonally intersecting the plate section and configured to support and retain an insulating material, the second support flange intersecting the plate section at a location spaced between the proximal portion and the distal end,
- wherein the building panel support element is configured to be fixed to the support bracket at a user determined distance from the building substrate;
- and
- at least one insulated building panel, each insulated building panel comprising:
- a wall panel comprising a first major surface, a second major surface parallel to the first major surface, and a pair of opposing edges, each opposing edge having a recess parallel to the first major surface and at least partially surrounding the first support flange;
- and
- an insulating material comprising a first face and a second face disposed at an angle relative to the first face, the first face being fixed to the second major surface of the wall panel, the second face having a support recess parallel to the first face and at least partially surrounding the second support flange.
