Wall panel construction

A bit of a catch up.........

We moved the project to a warmer and drier part of the world to continue the work.

The frame was deomounted and painted with hammerite.

The side walls are to be comprised of 3 panel sections, laminated with a 40mm PIR insulation core, internal wall of 4mm ply, external wall of 6 mm marine ply. 

Methodology.

Construct a light wooden frame within the metal frame. 

Use this frame to size and mark the insulation material. 

Cut the insulation to size and fit inside the wooden framework. Glue with expanding foam glue. 

Once the glue has cured mark and cutout frames for windows and hatches 

Glue the frames in position

This creates the 3 wall sections which can now be removed to apply the internal and external skins. 

Glue is applied. The skin ply place in position and the section placed in the improvised press while the glue cures. 

Turn over and apply the other skin using the same methodology. Shallow holes were made in the insluation board to provide a key for the expanding foam glue.
