Abstract:
A method of making a panel building component which comprises:placing a substantially planar foam core the height of which is at least 12 inches less than the finished panel height between vertical C-studs, the length of which is substantially equal to the height of the foam core;wherein a vertical C-stud running along the long edge of the panel is placed with the open side of the C-stud facing outwards towards the long edge of the panel;placing a foot member in engaging relationship with the bottom end of the foam core and the bottom end of the C-studs;locating spacers along opposite sides of the foam core and fastening the spacers to the core by means of glue or nails; anddisposing two substantially planar siding members in contact with the spacers to form two substantially planar volumes on either side of the foam core, said siding members being disposed in engaging relationship with the C-studs and foot member, the siding members having a height substantially equal to the finished panel height and having a top void above the foam core and C-studs between the siding members.
