<p>A prefabricated, insulated building panel formed from an outer facing sheet which may be profiled and an inner facing sheet, wherein the opposed first edges of the facing sheets are connected by an S-shaped non-metallic flexible strip, and the opposite or opposed second edges of the facing sheets are spaced-apart. An insulating core, for example, foamed-in-situ polyurethane, bonds the facing sheets one to the other and serves as thermal and sound insulation and to rigidify the panel. Where the outer facing sheet is profiled, the insulating core may fill less than the entire space between the facing sheets. A tongue and a groove are presented along the opposite longitudinal sides of the panel. A segment of the flexible strip is presented within the groove. The tongue and a groove are arranged to provide a laterally adjustable, weather-tight joint between adjacent panels.</p> |
