An insulated concrete form panel system and method of making same. The system and method include first and second opposed panels forming a cavity therebetween and an internal connector frame serving as a mold for receiving expandable polymer material to form the first and second panels, such that the irreleasably pre-assembled connector frame extends between, and is integral to, first and second panels. The present system allows first and second panel pairs to be mechanically connected to panel pairs positioned adjacent thereto (e.g. above, below, or side-by-side) to increase integrity of the structure. |

1. An insulated concrete form panel, comprising:
first and second panels having exterior and interior surfaces and positioned in opposed spaced relation to form a cavity between the interior surfaces; and an internal connector frame disposed within the cavity and having a plurality of bridge members irreleasably connected to a plurality of stud members; wherein each bridge member has a first end, a second end, and a plurality of side ends, wherein each first and second end has connection means for connecting adjacent bridge members positioned end-to-end, and wherein each side end has opposed first coupling means for coupling the bridge members to the stud members; wherein each stud member has a first end, a second end, and at least one second coupling means, wherein each first and second end has connection means for connecting adjacent stud members positioned end-to-end, and wherein the at least one second coupling means corresponds to the first coupling means for coupling the bridge members to the stud members; and wherein the stud members are integral to first and second panel members. |
