ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing composite structural building panels for floors, walls and roofs with the components for securing adjacent panels to each other built into the interior of each panel and serving as a structural component and an optional interlocking component at the same time. The panels attain extreme values of structural integrity, insulation, sound attenuation, air/vapor impermeability and moisture resistance. The panels are non out gassing while having a zero flame spread and are virtually free from deterioration while remaining lightweight and economical. By insertion of optional strut members during manufacturing, the resulting structural values of the panel is drastically increased. The panels are composed of two offset and opposing face frames that each separately lock together within themselves by temporary frictional engagement or puncture crimp. Both face frames are then permanently locked together as a completed composite panel by an injected in-fill core of expandable polystyrene while creating a substantial interior thermal break between the two face frames. Panels are assembled at the site of construction and joined at the tops, bottoms, and further most ends as well as at door and window openings with channel most commonly known as "track" which in turn is mounted to a footing or foundation. A vast variety of interior and exterior surfaces can be applied directly over the panels. The resulting panels can span and reach greater distances and heights while holding drastically higher shear and diaphragm values as well as significantly higher structural live, dead, wind and snow loads.
