US Patent 8925269 Wall panel assembly, methods of manufacture and uses thereof

Flat faced stud members adhered to one face of a rigid, planar core and sheathing adhered to an opposing face of that core create a wall panel. The adhesive used to adhere the sheathing to the core is non-continuous and follows a pattern used to attach the stud members to the core. A top plate and a bottom plate are adhered to the core and adhered to the stud members. A cap connects to at least one of the plates and overlays an end of the sheathing. The cap, plates, core, stud members, and sheathing bound by adhesive create a cohesive assembly which is structurally considered a single unit.
