Method of forming buildings, building panel structures, and building panel systems
A building panel structure is disclosed, in which building panels are used to form a structure. A building panel is disclosed which includes a core and a coating applied over the core. In some embodiments the core consists of a frame and one or more than one insulating structural block. The insulating structural blocks can be encapsulated polystyrene (EPS) foam blocks. In some embodiments the coating includes an inner scratch layer and an outer main brown layer. The inner scratch layer can be formed of at least two layers. The outer main brown layer can include a fiberglass mesh embedded into the outer main brown layer. A method of forming a building panel is disclosed which includes forming a core using a frame and one or more blocks, applying an inner scratch layer to the core, and applying an outer main brown layer over the inner scratch layer.
1. A method of forming a building panel structure, the method comprising the steps of:
forming a core using a frame and one or more than one insulating structural block;
creating a first scratch layer A mixture comprising cement, aggregate, acrylic bonder, and water;
blowing the first scratch layer A mixture onto a portion of the core;
allowing the first scratch layer A mixture to cure;
creating a second scratch layer B brown mixture comprising cement, aggregate, acrylic bonder, fiberglass strands, and water;
trowelling the second scratch layer B brown mixture over the first scratch layer A mixture;
embedding a fiberglass mesh in the second scratch layer B brown mixture while the second scratch layer B brown mixture is still wet;
allowing the second scratch layer B brown mixture to cure; and
applying an outer main brown layer over the inner scratch layer, the outer main brown layer comprising cement, aggregate, acrylic bonder, fiberglass strands, and fiberglass mesh.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of applying an outer main brown layer over the inner scratch layer comprises the steps of:
creating a main brown layer brown mixture comprising cement, aggregate, acrylic bonder, fiberglass strands, and water;
trowelling the main brown layer brown mixture over the inner scratch layer;
embedding a fiberglass mesh in the main brown layer brown mixture while the main brown layer brown mixture is still wet; and
allowing the main brown layer brown mixture to cure.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the main brown layer brown mixture aggregate comprises 20 grit sand and 30 grit sand.
