<p>A building panel (20) is disclosed which is of sandwich construction having metal sheet structures (21, 22) interconnected by a core (23). The panel (20) includes profiled edge regions (24, 25) enabling the panel to interlock with a like panel. In one form a paper covering (27) is bonded to the metal sheet structure so that panel has a surface characteristic similar to that of plasterboard, whereas the other surface is suitable for external use. In this way, the building panel acts as an external wall or roofing panel for a building. A reinforcing element (40) is also disclosed which is arranged to be connected at the join between abutting panels to improve the load bearing capability of the panel (20).</p> |
