Abstract: A light-weight rigid foam panel having good insulating properties is held by a metal framework which includes two vertical support members and at least one horizontal support member secured to the top ends of the latter. An inwardly projecting flange along the vertical members aids in securing the foam panel. Preferably the foam panel is molded to the framework. Sheets of material covering the faces of the foam panel facilitates the application of a finishing material such as plaster to the wall panels. A method for manufacturing a wall panel with a molded foam panel is also disclosed.

Abstract: Building components are disclosed which are constructed at a factory and assembled on site. The components include walls employing concrete reinforced steel columns attached to lightweight insulation. The insulation is secured to the columns by use of a wire mesh disposed between columns. Concrete reinforced steel headers are also provided. A roof includes sheet metal decking provided with lightweight insulation and reinforced for rigidity.
