Abstract

A lightweight, low cost, insulating construction panel having a rectangular channel-iron frame, an outside face of lightweight corrugated metal, a main filler comprising a perlite and pumice binder sandwiching an insulating foam core. The construction panel has a plurality of vertical channel irons spaced in succession and forming a plane common to an inside face of the panel. Two weld wire screens are disposed against each of the inner surface and the outer surface of the foam core, and fastened together through individual weld wires extending horizontally through the foam core. The outside face may have a decorative, cementitious material. Each box frame has attachment means along each of four perimeter sides capable of mechanical attachment to a foundation and to at least three other panels so as to become load-bearing. The construction panel is strong, flexible, termite and fire-proof, and hurricane and earthquake resistant.
