Abstract

A building curtain wall panel system is disclosed in which a plurality of mechanically fastened and bonded layers are provided to create a fire resistant, light weight and insulated panel which is easily installed and yet resists impact stress. The panel includes bonded layers attached to a steel frame. The strength and fire resistant properties are enhanced by a medium density calcium silicate composite panel. The exterior architectural design features may be varied by composite coatings including a variety of materials including acrylic resins, fibers, vicron, fungicide, coloring agents, cement and water.

Claims

1. A building curtain wall panel system for use in building construction comprising:

a plurality of adjacent, superimposed layered panels attached to a steel stud frame, said layered panels including sequentially a phenolic foam insulation layer, a medium density calcium silicate composite panel, a sizing layer, Fiberglas mesh, a composite coating, and a sealer.

2. The panel system according to claim 1 wherein the medium density calcium silicate composite panel comprises a mixture of cement, mineral fillers and treated natural organic fibers.

3. The panel system according to claim 1 wherein the composite coating includes a mixture of acrylic resin, fiber, vicron, fungicide, coloring agents, cement and water.

4. The panel according to claim 1 wherein the medium density calcium silicate composite panel comprises:

Portland Cement, mineral fillers, treated natural organic, and fibers; and

the composite coating comprises;

acrylic resin, fibres, vicron, and a fungicide, coloring agents, cement and water.

5. The panel system according to claim 1 wherein said phenolic foam insulation has an R-value of at least 8.3 per inch.
