An insulated welded wire structural building panel and a method for making such panels are disclosed. The panel has a plurality of parallel trusses joined together with cross wires. Each truss is triangular in cross section. A layer of polyurethane foam is provided in the panel spaced from both the front side and the back side of the panel. On one surface of the foam is a layer of solidified viscous material, such as asphalt or a thermoplastic. The cross wires on opposite sides of the panel are offset from each other along the axes of the truss runner wires to which they are welded.

A method for forming a structural building panel, comprising the steps of (a) providing a plurality of discrete welded wire trusses, each said truss having two parallel base runner wires, an apex runner wire parallel to and equidistant from said base wires and spaced outside the plane of said base wires, and a plurality of strut wires joining said base wire to said apex wires to form a truss having a “V”-shape in longitudinal cross section; (b) arranging a plurality of said trusses into a parallel, spaced-apart relationship so that some of the runner wires fall into a first plane and the remaining runner wires fall into a parallel second plane; (c) extending a cross-wire transversely across the runner wires in the first plane and welding said cross wire to said runner wires between a plurality of electrode pairs, each electrode pair moving only perpendicularly to said first plane and into and out of engagement with the wires to be welded; (d) welding a transverse cross wire to the runner wires in the second plane in the same manner as in step (c) and advancing the trusses longitudinally; (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) until the trusses have been welded into a three-dimensional wire matrix panel having a first side and a second side; (f) supporting the first side of the matrix panel on a conveyor belt; (g) introducing a sand-like granular material into the matrix on the belt to form a uniform layer inside the matrix; (h) introducing a layer of viscous liquid material onto the sand-like granular material; (i) placing a layer of foaming liquid organic resin material on the viscous material; and (j) expanding and solidifying said foam material.
