Prefabricated panel 1
[0009] With reference to the drawings, a prefabricated panel is generally indicated by reference
numeral 1 and can be made of concrete, steel, or wood.
[0010] The prefabricated panel 1 is adapted to make a structural construction system (2),
in particular a building.
[0011] The prefabricated panel 1 defines a vertical or horizontal panel plane 3 with a peripheral
edge 4.
[0012] The prefabricated panel 1 comprises a load-bearing frame 5 defining at least one
through opening 6 extending through the load-bearing frame 5 in a direction transverse
to the panel plane 3.
[0013] Moreover, the prefabricated panel 1 comprises at least one filling layer 7 housed
in the load-bearing frame 5 so as to close at least one through opening 6.
[0014] The prefabricated panel 1 comprises a covering layer 9 positioned opposite to the
filling layer 7.
[0015] The filling layer 7 and the covering layer 9 are spaced apart from each other in
a direction transverse to the panel plane 3 so as to mutually define a gap 10 which
is substantially parallel to the panel plane 3.
[0016] The prefabricated panel 1 comprises a plurality of metal profiles 8 positioned in
gap 10 and interposed between the filling layer 7 and the covering layer 9.
[0017] Advantageously, gap 10 allows a circulation of air over the whole prefabricated panel
1 and over the whole structural system 2 formed by prefabricated panels 1. Such an
air circulation is particularly advantageous for eliminating moisture, impure air
and gas, e.g., radon, which are among the main causes of the lack of living comfort
and deterioration of the structures.
[0018] Further advantageously, the thus-configured prefabricated panel 1 is usable both
as a vertical wall of a structural system 2 and as a slab of a structural system 2.
[0019] Further advantageously, the thus-configured prefabricated panel 1 is easily standardizable
and industrializable for the production of structures 2 in series and allows reducing
the construction times and costs, as well as increasing the thermal-hygrometric protection
performance of the panel and the structural system, and increasing the versatility
of construction of structural systems, in particular housings, with reference to the
dimensions, number of floors, and distribution of the indoor spaces. Indeed, the standardization
of the components of the prefabricated panel 1 and the structural system 2 allows
forming a warehouse stock to be used at any time and thus reducing the purchase costs
of the materials.
[0020] Further advantageously, the prefabricated panel 1 allows, in the filling element
7, the passage of ducts and electric cables to form the housing system network without
driving holes or making channels in the coverings and/or structural frames.
[0021] Preferably, the through opening 6 is rectangular in shape.

and are positioned parallel and spaced apart from one another
(Fig. 1).

one inner filling sheet 11 and two opposite outer sheets 11.
[0026] Moreover, at least two of the three filling sheets 11 are formed by panels made of
high strength compacted phenolic or marine wood.

thereof.
[0029] Advantageously, the thus-configured filling layer 7 increases the solidity and stability
of the load-bearing frame 5 to which it is connected, and therefore of the whole prefabricated
panel 1, especially when used as a slab.
[0030] Further advantageously, the filling layer 7 is the element on which to make the systems
for the sanitary apparatuses such as sinks, toilets, bidets, showers, sink drains,
and/or electrical panels or furnishing components such as wardrobes, bookcases.
[0031] According to an embodiment, the load-bearing frame 5 preferably has two through openings
6 extending through the load-bearing frame 5 in a direction transverse to the panel
plane 3.
[0032] The two through openings 6 are separate from each other.
[0033] Moreover, the prefabricated panel 1,
used as a wall, with the two openings 6 thereof, can comprise a blind filling layer 7 and a glass
filling element 12, or two blind filling layers 7, housed in the load-bearing frame
5 so that the blind 7 and glass 12 filling layers, or the two blind ones, close the
two through openings 6.

mesh, trimmed and painted with quartz paint.
[0049] According to an embodiment, the isolating layer 13 can be reinforced or supported
with marine wood panels or plumbed wood panels 14.
[0050] According to an embodiment, the isolating layer support 14 has a thickness between
16 mm and 20 mm; a commercially-made vapor barrier sheet optionally can be applied
to support 14.
[0051] According to an embodiment, the isolating layer support 14 is fixed to the load-bearing
frame 5 by means of a threaded connection by means of screws, bolts or dowels, for
example, or by gluing, for example by means of bicomponent glues, or by means of a

same panel plane (3), vertical for example, and a third prefabricated panel (1) connected
opposite or horizontal to the two prefabricated panels (1), wherein the spacer element
(29) defines the seat, support, interlocking and fixing of the three panels by means
of a threaded connection, the spacer element (29) being a section bar, preferably
having a rectangular or square section.
13. A structural system (2) according to any one of the preceding claims, formed by at
least six prefabricated panels (1) connected to one another, four prefabricated panels
(1) of which connected to one another at an angle and forming the vertical walls of
the structural system (2), and two further prefabricated panels (1) connected to each
other in parallel and forming the treading slab of the structural system (2).
14. A standard prefabricated panel (1), made of concrete or steel or wood, provided with
a structural system (2) for constructing civilian buildings, wherein said prefabricated
panel (1) is industrially obtained by:
- producing in series a plurality of load-bearing frames (5) to be stored in a warehouse;
- producing in series a plurality of connections (16) to be stored in a warehouse;
- producing in series a plurality of blind (12) or glass (7) filling layers to be
stored in a warehouse;
- arranging in a warehouse a plurality of layers (8, 9, 13, 14) made of different
materials to complete the prefabricated panel (1)
so as to:
- position each load-bearing frame (5) in vertical position;
- connect each filling layer (7 and 12) to each load-bearing frame (5);
- then connect the plurality of tubular profiles (8) to each
filling layer (7), respectively;
- then fix the covering layers (9) to the metal profiles (8);
- fix the various isolating layers (13) to the respective load-bearing frame (5) and
filler layer (7), reinforce
the isolating layer (13) with a plasticized, trimmed and painted mesh;
- optionally, apply a surface finish to the covering layer (9).
The prefabricated panel (1) is ready for transport and construction site assembly.
