In a prefabricated building wall panel a rigid supporting frame is covered on one face by masonry or ceramic cladding, the cladding being held to the supporting frame by a composite fastener system comprising rigid supports underlying the cladding to carry the dead loading thereof with resilient means adhesively securing the cladding to the support frame to resist live loading thereof.

Prefabricated panel for building wall construction

A prefabricated panel and method for making same for use in the construction of a wall structure for a building. Each panel section is comprised of a rigid support structure for attachment to the building framework. A plurality of facia sheets, such as tiles, overlie the exterior surface of the support structure and are resiliently bonded thereto with a means which provides limited relative movement between the facia sheets and the supporting structure. A means for sealing the joints between adjacent edges of facia sheets on a single panel section is provided, and once the panels are installed on a building framework, means for sealing the joints between adjacent panels is also provided in order to form a contiguous weathertight wall surface.
