  • Patent number: 4031682
    Abstract: A method of making a building panel and the panel made by the steps which include laying a mold form horizontally, laying bricks in the pattern indicated in the mold form and depositing a fibrous and cementitious mixture in the spaces between the bricks and over the tops of the bricks. Providing a reinforcing lattice work and forcing it into the still soft cementitious mixture. Subsequently, a resin insulating material is foamed in situ in the mold cavities formed between the elements of the lattice work. Optionally, a smooth finish coat of material may be troweled or sprayed over the insulation material.
