A panel building component is disclosed comprised of a substantially rigid insulation core (2), preferably of expanded polymer having thermal and sound insulation qualities, in combination with a perimeter of light gauge steel members (4, 6, 4, 8). Vertical members (4) of the perimeter are preferably fabricated with a ledge channel cross-section in which the ledges are disposed in engaged relationship with grooves embossed in the insulation core. The combination of the ledge channel cross-section vertical member (4) and lateral portions of the insulation core demarcated by the grooves form integral composite columns of substantial strength. The panel is prefabricated and is available with interior fire resistant facing (12), exterior weather resistant facing (10), windows, doors, electrical wiring or other customization. |
