Abstract:
A modular wall panel for manufacturing an exterior wall by abutting a plurality of said wall panels in side to side alignment, each of said wall panels comprising:(a) a substantially flat rectangular insulating foam core having first and second opposite surfaces, first and second opposite side edges, a width defined by the opposite side edges, opposite top and bottom edges, and a height defined by the top and bottom edges; (b) at least one elongated longitudinal support stud mounted to the foam core between the first and second side edges and extending substantially parallel thereto, said longitudinal support stud extending substantially the length of the foam core between the top and bottom edges; (c) at least one elongated transverse support stud mounted to the foam core, said transverse support stud mounted substantially perpendicularly relative to the longitudinal support stud, said transverse support stud extending between the opposite side edges; (d) the first side edge having a first face extending between the first and second opposite surfaces, the second side edge having a second face extending between the first and second opposite surfaces, the first and second faces adapted and configured such that the first and second faces define an elongated first channel when the first face of one panel is abutted against the second face of an adjacent panel, said first channel having an elongated first cavity and an opening extending to the first surface of the panel.
