Building panel

Abstract

Disclosed is a panel for use in construction of buildings, barriers and other structures, the panel comprising an internal framing structure encased in a solidified aerated medium, the aerated medium having an impermeable external layer. The panel has insulative properties along with inherent strength, impact resistance, and load bearing capacity.

1 . A building panel comprising:
 an internal framing structure encased in a solidified aerated medium, the aerated medium having an impermeable external layer.   
   
   
       2 . A building panel as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising one or more channels extending through the aerated medium. 
   
   
       3 . A building panel as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the channels are composed of elongate piping, sized to allow wiring, plumbing and other utilities to extend through the panel. 
   
   
       4 . A building panel as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the internal framing structure comprises one or more internal frames. 
   
   
       5 . A building panel comprising:
 an internal framing structure encased in a solidified curable medium, one or more channels extending through the curable medium.   
   
   
       6 . A building panel as defined in  claim 5  wherein the channels are composed of elongate piping, sized to allow wiring, plumbing and other utilities to extend through the panel. 
   
   
       7 . A building panel as defined in  claim 5 , wherein the internal framing structure comprises one or more internal frames. 
   
   
       8 . A method of manufacturing a building panel, the method comprising:
 aligning one or more elongate conduits with a framing structure;   depositing a curable medium on the framing structure;   allowing the curable resin to set.   
   
   
       9 . A method of manufacturing a building panel as defined in  claim 8 , wherein the curable medium is an aerated medium which solidifies to form a solid aerated medium. 
   
   
       10 . A method of manufacturing a building panel as defined in  claim 8 , further comprising the step of depositing an impermeable external layer onto the curable medium. 
   
   
       11 . A method of manufacturing a building panel as defined in  claim 10 , wherein the step of depositing the impermeable external layer comprises depositing fiberglass sheeting over the curable resin.
