ABSTRACT:
A prefabricated building panel having a metal, load-bearing structure which may be filled with a hardenable material. The hardenable material need not have substantial load-bearing characteristics. A frame is formed from members of substantially C-shaped cross section with at least one vertical support placed across the central opening. Reinforcing bar, lifting means, electrical receptacle boxes and interconnecting conduit for the boxes may be installed as desired. A layer of insulating material is installed in the central opening at a transversely intermediate position. Further disclosed is a method of manufacturing said panels wherein a transversely extending lip is formed around both sides of the frame. The frame is placed on a horizontal surface and a hardenable material is poured into the frame to an intermediate level to form a first surface layer. The layer of insulating material is placed on the first surface layer, and a second surface layer is formed by pouring additional hardenable material into the frame. After hardening of the surface layers, the lip is removed. Methods of installing and joining the prefabricated panels are disclosed. Door and window jambs along with windowsills may be formed in the prefabricated panels.
