Insulated and prefinished wall panel and wall cladding assembly
A first aspect provides a wall panel assembly (100) comprising a wall frame (20) having steel C- section members. Glue (30) is applied to one face (24) of the wall frame (20). The glue (30) used in the example is an epoxy based glue or a quick drying foam based glue. External cladding (40) is then mounted to the face (24) of the wall frame (20). The preferred external cladding (40) is high density polystyrene, 75 mm thick and 2500 mm long by 1200 wide. Fibreglass mesh is installed onto external surfaces of the wall cladding (40). Metal capping plates (42), if required, are installed to edge faces of the wall cladding (40) for protecting the edges faces and to hold the fibreglass mesh in place. Render (50) is then applied to the external surfaces of the wall cladding (40) having the fibreglass mesh. The preferred render is acrylic based which is applied to the fibreglass mesh fixed to the cladding (40). In an alternative form, chopped fibreglass fibre maybe pre-mixed with the acrylic render and the render mix then applied to external surfaces of the wall cladding (40). A second aspect provides an external cladding (110) comprising a core of high density polystyrene (111), in VH grade or better. The preferred thickness is 75 mm and can be in sizes up to 5000 mm long by 1200 mm wide. The polystyrene panel core (111) is coated with a sprayed on urethane hard coat (112) nominally 1 mm thick.
