Method of manufacturing structural member

摘要

The present invention concerns a method of manufacturing a structural member. More particularly, but not exclusively, this invention concerns a method of manufacturing a thermally broken lintel. The invention also concerns a method of manufacturing a thermally broken lintel. The method comprises the steps of providing a first load-bearing element in a first orientation, providing an insulating core, and applying an adhesive to the first load-bearing element or insulating core. The method then comprises bringing the first load-bearing element and insulating core into contact, providing a second load-bearing element, and applying an adhesive to the second load-bearing element or insulating core. The method then comprises bringing the second load-bearing element and insulating core into contact, changing the orientation of the structural member, and applying heat and pressure to at least one of the first load-bearing element and second load-bearing element to cure the adhesive.
