ABSTRACT:
The improved sandwich panel of the present invention includes inner and outer panel faces that have a foam core integrally bonded therebetween by the hardening and curing of a liquid foam during the manufacturing process. The faces of the preferred panel embodiments are composed of cement-fiber boards and/or cement-woodchip boards. The preferred sandwich panel has a male projecting lateral edge on one side and a female recess in the core on the opposite side edge.
The preferred method of manufacturing the panels includes the installation of the male edge member prior to foaming and the utilization of edge recess forming members installed at the edges of the panel assembly prior to the insertion of liquid foam therebetween. The removal of the edge recess forming members following the curing of the foam easily creates the edge recesses.
The method of construction of a structure utilizing the improved panel includes the installation of a bottom sill to a foundation or floor, the engagement of panel members to the bottom sill and to each other through the male-female side edge interconnection and the placement of a continuous top plate within the top edge recesses of the panels. Thereafter, by nailing, the assembled panels are engaged to the bottom sill, to each other through the male-female interconnection and the top sill.
