Adhesive-edge building panel and method of manufacture

摘要

Disclosed herein is an adhesive-edge building panel used in the fabrication of interior or exterior construction panels of a wall systems of with elastomeric joints that are resistant to cracking. The panels are preferably fiber cement. An adhesive is pre-applied adjacent to an edge of the panel and laminated to a release liner. Panels are fastened to a frame with the adhesive-edges adjacent to each other. A backing material is applied to the seam between the panels such that the edges of the joint tape adhere to the adhesive-edges of the adjacent panels. The wall is then finished with an elastomeric finish. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the adhesive-edge panels.
