Abstract:
A building component comprising:two parallel welded wire grid mats (1, 2) formed of grid wires (3, 3â€², 3â€³, 4, 4â€², 4â€³, 5, 5â€², 5â€³, 6, 6â€², 6â€³) with square or rectangular meshes; individual straight web wires (7, 7â€²) holding said wire grid mats apart at predetermined distances, said web wires extending obliquely, with respect to the wire grid mats, inclined alternately in opposite directions in a trelliswork manner in each row of web wires, said individual web wires being joined at each end to said wire grid mats and being arranged in rows interspersed among the grid wires of the wire grid mats; a one-piece insulating prefabricated block or panel forming a dimensionally stable insulating body (8) positioned between said wire grid mats and spanning more than two of said rows of web wires; said insulating block or panel being located at predetermined distances from the wire grid mats and held between, and spaced from, the wire grid mats solely by the web wires, which web wires pierce said insulating body; wherein said insulating body (8, 8â€²) has a thickness of between 20 and 200 mm; and wherein at least one cover surface (18) of the insulating body (8, 8â€²) is formed with a plurality of transverse grooves (20) positioned to extend horizontally when the building component is erected as part of a building.
