Prefabricated building element
A prefabricated building element such as a panel, sill, lintel or quoin, comprises a shell 12 formed from a composite of plastics resin mixed with a poly-aramid fibre, such as Kevlar, and crushed marble. The shell is filled with an expanded foam insulation 14. The resin may be unsaturated polyester and may include a catalyst which causes the resin to set. The resin may also include a fire retardant such as alumina trihydrate. The foam may be polyurethane and may be injected into the shell via an aperture. The foam may be reinforced by steel, carbon fibre or engineered plastics. The crushed marble provides the building element with the appearance of stone and the para-aramid fibre provides increased strength, which would allow the panel to be substantially bullet proof.
