- With respect to
FIG. 1 there is shown aninsulated wall panel 10 including ablock 11 of a composite material such as expanded polystyrene foam or Styrofoam adapted for receivingmetal studs 12 to construct a modular building frame. For purposes of describing the invention reference is made to a wall panel but the system or method disclosed herein may be used to construct other frame members such as floor and ceiling joists, and is not limited to a wall panel, either interior or exterior. The foam panel manufactured by Insulfoam may be used to assemble thewall panels 10 disclosed herein. - As shown the
wall panel 10 includes or is secured to abottom track 13A frame member that is mounted to afoundation slab 14 for receiving and securing thestuds 12 and thefoam block 11 onto theslab 14. In addition, atop track 13B frame member is mounted to thewall panel 10 as will be explained in more detail below; or, thewall panel 10 may be described as including thetop track 13B frame member. Both thetop track member 13B andbottom track member 13A supplemental the structural integrity of thepanel 10, and thetop track 13B provides a mechanism for securing other frame members to thepanel 10. - With reference to the assembly of the
wall panel 10, thefoam block 11 is first cut according to building specifications on a hotwire cutting apparatus that is used for cutting and shaping Styrofoam. As shown inFIGS. 1 , 2 and 3 theblock 11 includes afirst wall surface 15A and asecond wall surface 15B, abottom end 17A andtop end 17B and two side ends 34A and 34B. In addition, thefoam block 11 has predetermined height H, length L and width W dimensions. Thefoam block 11 is secured on a table associated with a hotwire cutting apparatus which includes a controller that is configured or programmed to transmit signals so that heated wires mounted on the apparatus cut the foam according to building specification data input into the database and/or program for operation of the hotwire cutting apparatus. The hot wire cutting apparatus may have a single wire that cuts the slots 27 (shownFIG. 5 ) spaced apart in theblock 11 for receiving thestuds 12; or the cutting apparatus may include a plurality of wires that may simultaneously cut a plurality of theslots 27 at predetermined spaced intervals. - A
sample stud 12 is illustrated inFIG. 4 and has a generally C-shaped configuration including aweb 12A,first flanges 12B disposed perpendicular to theweb 12A and returns 12C that are parallel to theweb 12A. A representative cut is in ablock 11 for insertion of studs is shown inFIG. 5 . A wire enters theblock 11 from oneside block 11 and descends downward toward theother side block 11. The hotwire moves and cuts theblock 11 responsive to commands from a controller in predeterminedpattern forming slots parts 12A-12C of astud 12. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and 5 theslot 27 andstuds 12 have a width W′ that is less than the width W of thefoam block 11 so the width W′ dimension of thestud 12 is disposed within theblock 11 so that side surfaces at theside flanges 12B of thestud 12 are not exposed. For purposes of describing an embodiment of the invention, thewall panel 10 may include ablock 11 that is 8″ thick, 48″ inches long and 8′ feet high. However, these dimensions are provided by way of example and other dimensions may work for the intended purpose of the subject invention. For typical building specifications for example for a home, thestuds 12 may be six inches wide so the side surfaces at theside flanges 12B of thestud 12 are not exposed as described above. As indicated above theblock 11 may be composed of expanded polystyrene foam that is available at a number of different manufacturers or distributors throughout the United States. For example, construction grade expanded polystyrene is manufactured by Insulfoam headquartered in Tacoma, Wash. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and 5 , a mid-point of theslot 27A may be slightly offset relative to a lateral center line of theblock 11 extending from side end 34A to side end 34B. In this manner theblock 11 may be thicker on one side (15A) of thestud 12 than on the other side. Thethicker side 15A ofpanel 10 may face an exterior of a building to be constructed.Panels 10 that are constructed for interior walls or frame members may not require the offset. For thatmatter panels 10 that may have a surface facing an exterior of a building do not require the thicker dimension; however, in a preferred embodiment the thicker dimension faces an exterior of a building. - With respect to
FIGS. 5 , 6 and 7, there is shown that twolateral channels 28 are cut into thetop end 17A andbottom end 17B of theblock 11 for receivingtracks channels 28 are spaced apart and parallel to one another, and contiguous withslots 27B as shown inFIG. 5 . By cutting thechannels 28 there is formed anelongated insert 29 between thechannels 28 at thebottom end 17A andtop end 17A of thewall panel 10. In addition, about a ¼″ of the surface of theinsert 29 is removed forming a recess or notch 16 in which thewebs 18 of thetracks Flanges 19 on thetracks channels 28. In addition, by cuttingchannels 28 in theends block 11 there is formedtop flanges 33B andbottom flanges 33A on theblock 11 that cover sides of thestuds 12 andtracks respective ends wall panel 10. - After the
slots 27,channels 28 and recesses 16 are cut into theblock 11, thestuds 12 are inserted into theslots 12.Wall panels 10 thus assembled may be prepared for shipping to a construction site. As noted thepanel 10 is secured to or includes abottom track 13A that is anchored to aconcrete slab 14 as shown inFIGS. 1 and 3 . Thepanel 10 is lifted andflanges 19 ontrack 13A are aligned withchannels 28 in theblock 11 so theelongated insert 29 and bottom end of thestuds 12 are inserted into thetrack 13A. In order to secure thepanel 10 to thebottom track 13A, theblock 11 is adjusted or slid up on thestuds 12 so theflanges 19 on thebottom track 13A are exposed to secure the bottom of thestuds 12 to thetrack 13A using fastening mechanisms known to those skilled in the art. An adhesive may also applied to the surfaces of thetrack 13A,track flanges 19 and/orslab 14, and theblock 11 is then adjusted downward on thestuds 13A so thebottom flanges 33A on theblock 11 abut surfaces of thetrack flanges 19,track 13A andslab 14. The adhesive helps secure theblock 11 in place on thepanel 10 orslab 14 and seals an interface between theflanges 33A,track 13A andslab 14. An adhesive that may be used includes QB4500, which can be purchased at any one of a number of home repair or home supply stores such as Home Depot® and Lowes®. - The
