A method of partially insulating an interior space of a pre-formed fluted core panel is disclosed herein. The fluted core panel includes a first facesheet, a second facesheet spaced apart from the first facesheet, and webs between the first facesheet and second facesheet. The interior space is defined between the first facesheet, the second facesheet, and adjacent webs. The method includes positioning a spacer in a first portion of the interior space, positioning a membrane between the spacer and a second portion of the interior space, and positioning insulation in the second portion of the interior space. Additionally, the method includes pressing the membrane against the spacer, curing the membrane, and removing the spacer from the first portion of the interior space.

1. A method of partially insulating an interior space of a pre-formed fluted core panel, the fluted core panel comprising a first facesheet, a second facesheet spaced apart from the first facesheet, and webs between the first facesheet and second facesheet, the interior space defined between the first facesheet, the second facesheet, and adjacent webs, the method comprising: positioning a spacer in a first portion of the interior space;positioning a membrane between the spacer and a second portion of the interior space;positioning insulation in the second portion of the interior space;pressing the membrane against the spacer;curing the membrane; andremoving the spacer from the first portion of the interior space. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the membrane is cured while the membrane is pressed against the spacer. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising positioning an inflatable bladder in the interior space, and wherein pressing the membrane against the spacer comprises inflating the inflatable bladder. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the spacer comprises a mandrel. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising wrapping the mandrel with the membrane. 6. The method of claim 4, further comprising removing the inflatable bladder from the interior space, and wherein positioning insulation in the second portion of the interior space comprises injecting insulation into the second portion of the interior space after the inflatable bladder is removed from the interior space, after the membrane is cured, and before the mandrel is removed. 7. The method of claim 3, further comprising wrapping the inflatable bladder with an adhesion enhancer, and wherein curing the membrane comprises curing the adhesion enhancer. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the adhesion enhancer comprises glass fibers suspended in a matrix. 9. The method of claim 3, wherein the spacer comprises the inflatable bladder. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising wrapping the insulation with the membrane. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the insulation is wrapped by the membrane before the membrane is positioned between the spacer and the second portion of the interior space and before the insulation is positioned in the second portion of the interior space. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the insulation is hardened before enveloping the insulation with the membrane and before positioning the insulation in the second portion of the interior space. 13. The method of claim 9, further comprising applying an adhesive layer onto the membrane. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein pressing the membrane against the spacer comprises inflating the inflatable bladder. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the membrane is made from a semi-permeable material. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein curing the membrane bonds the membrane to the insulation. 17. A method of partially insulating interior spaces of a pre-formed fluted core panel, the fluted core panel comprising a first facesheet, a second facesheet spaced apart from the first facesheet, and webs between the first facesheet and second facesheet, the interior spaces defined between the first facesheet, the second facesheet, and respective adjacent webs, the method comprising: positioning one of a plurality spacers in a first portion of each of the interior spaces;positioning one of a plurality of membranes between the spacer and a second portion of each of the interior spaces;positioning insulation in the second portion of each of the interior spaces;concurrently pressing the membranes against the spacers;concurrently curing the membranes; andremoving the spacers from the first portions of the interior spaces. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising positioning one of a plurality of inflatable bladders in each of the interior spaces, and wherein concurrently pressing the membranes against the spacers comprises concurrently inflating the inflatable bladders using a single plenum. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the insulation in the second portions of the interior spaces have the same uniform thickness. 20. A method of making a fluted core panel, the method comprising: positioning annular flutes between a first facesheet and a second facesheet, wherein: each annular flute comprises opposing first sidewalls and opposing second sidewalls;each annular flute comprises an interior space defined between the opposing first sidewalls and opposing second sidewalls of the annular flute;each first sidewall abuts a first sidewall of an adjacent flute to form a web extending between the first facesheet and the second facesheet; andeach second sidewall abuts one of the first facesheet and the second facesheet;curing the annular flutes, first facesheet, and second facesheet to form an uninsulated fluted core panel;positioning a spacer in a first portion of the interior space of at least one annular flute;positioning a membrane between the spacer and a second portion of the interior space of the at least one annular flute;positioning insulation in the second portion of the interior space of the at least one annular flute;pressing the membrane against the spacer;curing the membrane; andremoving the spacer from the first portion of the interior space of the at least one annular flute.
