Abstract
Abstract A prefabrication panel for the construction of a building exterior in which one or more layers of a plurality of facing material is secured to a sheathing in a side-by-side relation along the length of the sheathing. A strip is secured to the sheathing on the surface thereof opposite from the surface on which the facing material is secured. The strip is disposed along the length of the sheathing in the vicinity of the lower edge thereof. A plurality of such panels are placed in overlapping relation to form a building exterior. In one embodiment, the strip of the upper panel has a surface for confronting the sheathing of the lower panel for sealing engagement and has another surface confronting the facing material fixed to the lower panel for providing a weather seal. In another embodiment, the strip of the upper pane has a surface perpendicular to the sheathing of the upper panel which surface confronts and is contiguous to the upper edge of the sheathing of the lower panel to serve as a guide for the aligning of overlapping panels and also to form a weather resistant seal.
