  • Roof panel module gauge
    Patent number: 5129151
    Abstract: A module gauge is described for moduling the next-to-be-erected roof panel to conform its actual width with the design modular width by compressing or expanding the roof panel as needed. Conformation of the panel widths results in a weathertight roof structure.

  • Prefabricated panel construction system
    Patent number: 4435934
    Abstract: A system of constructing a building using prefabricated wall and roof panels, each of the panels comprising interior and exterior corrugated metal sheets disposed on opposite major faces of a foamed core. The panels are assembled together in edge-to-edge relationship with complementary mating edges for securing adjacent panels. The joints between adjacent panels and between panels and support members are secured by self-drilling threaded fasteners. Metal strips are embedded in the panels to provide anchors for the threaded fasteners. A specially adapted insulating member is disposed along one edge of each panel to provide mechanical support without sacrificing thermal effeciency.
