Abstract

La présente invention concerne un panneau réalisé à partir de bandes de chants, d'éléments de remplissage et de cornières de montage (16). Ces cornières se composent d'une zone intermédiaire (17), de deux parois latérales (19, 20) et d'un nervurage antérieur (25, 30). Le bout du nervurage (25, 30) détermine des gorges (27, 30) et des membrures terminales (26, 32). Les cornières de montage dont conçues pour s'assembler avec un dispositif complémentaire équipant un panneau adjacent par mouvement latéral des panneaux l'un par rapport à l'autre.
