Claim:
A spacer panel for separating an exterior cover material from an interior portion of a building wall structure, comprising: a generally planar central web member formed of a polymeric material and having first and second opposing sides; first spacer members formed of said polymeric material and projecting from said first side of said central web member; and second spacer members formed of said polymeric material and projecting from said second side of said central web member, said first and second spacer members being formed with a planar portion of said central web member surrounding each of said first and second spacer members, each of said first and second spacer members defining an offset support surface, respectively, on opposing sides of said central web member, the offset support surfaces on opposing sides of said central web member defining substantially in parallel planes spaced substantially equally from said central web member, said first and second spacer members being formed from said central web member such that the respective opposing offset support surfaces are not directly opposite each other on opposing sides of said central web member, said second spacer members being configured differently structurally from said first spacer members such that said first spacer members provide a different configuration of spacer members on said first side of said central web member compared to said second spacer members on said second side of said central web member; wherein said first spacer members are circular members projecting from said first side of said central web member; said second spacer members are truncated conical members; and wherein said truncated conical members are formed as an extension of said circular members extending from said circular members through the central web member to position a planar surface outwardly from said second side of said web member.
