<p>A unique prefabricated panel (10) having skins (24, 22) and a core (12) and having joints on at least the vertical edges of the panel which can be easily and effectively assembled into a wall by gluing the panels together at the edges without the need for splines or stud posts thereby creating a joint preferably a captured scarf joint (34), which is strong and which joint provides for a large bonding surface and is effective to capture, align and rigidly secure the panels together and importantly maintain the skin strength through the joint when a joint, preferably a captured scarf joint, is provided on the horizontal edges and the vertical edges. Larger panels can be assembled from smaller panels while maintaining the skin strength of the larger panel. The panels can also be effectively assembled as a floor or a roof. There is no buckling of the shingles of the roof when the panels of the instant invention are used.</p> |
