A building wall panel (20) adapted for mounting on a building frame includes an exterior facing formed from a plurality of thin stone panels (22) of for instance granite or marble, backed and interconnected by a layer (28) of glass fiber-strengthened concrete underlying the panels and covering and engaging anchor clips (24) secured to the backs of the stone panels (22). The backing layer (28) is bonded to a metal support frame (30) by additional amounts of glass fiber-reinforced concrete (29) overlaying portions of anchor members (36) carried by the support frame and adjacent portions of the backing layer (28). A method of forming the building wall panel (20) involves placing granite or marble panels (20) face down in a form (48), mounting anchor clips (24) or pins (61) in the backs of the stone panels, and spraying a layer of slurry (55) formed from a mixture of concrete and chopped glass fiber strands, over both the panels (22) and the anchor clips (24 ) or pins (61). A metal wall panel support frame (30) is placed over the backing layer (28) so that anchor members (36) carried by the frame (30) abut the backing layer (28). Next, additional amounts (29) of the slurry (55) are applied over the anchor members (36) and adjacent portions of the backing layer (28). |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed: 1.
A building wall panel, comprising: (a) a plurality of thin granite or marble panels positioned in adjacent relationship to each other; (b) anchor means mounted in the back surfaces of each of said granite or marble panels and extending rearwardly therefrom; (c) a backing layer of glass fiber reinforced concrete overlying the rear of said granite or marble panels and encasing said anchor means, said fiber reinforced backing layer initially being of slurry composition and upon solidifying said reinforced backing layer supporting said facing panels through said anchor means; (d) support frame means overlying the back side of said backing layer opposite said granite or marble panels at locations separate from the locations of said anchor means, said support frame means formed from a plurality of metal first members having attachment means extending outwardly therefrom; and (e) additional amounts of glass fiber reinforced concrete overlaying portions of said attachment means and adjacent portions of said backing layer, said additional amounts of glass fiber reinforced concrete being initially of slurry composition and upon solidifying said additional amounts of glass fiber reinforced concrete securely bonding said support frame means to said solidified backing layer.
2.
The building wall panel according to claim 1, wherein said additional amounts of glass fiber reinforced concrete overlying portions of said attachment means and said backing layer constitute the only connection of the backing layer to said support frame.
3.
The building wall panel according to claim 1, wherein said granite or marble panels are less than one inch thick.
4.
The building wall panel according to claim 1 or 3, wherein the thickness of said backing layer is substantially equal to or less than the thickness of said granite or marble panels.
5.
The building wall panel of claim 1, wherein said anchor means alone mount said granite or marble panels on said backing layer.
6.
The building wall panel of claim 1, wherein said glass fiber reinforced concrete comprises a mixture of concrete and randomly oriented chopped strands of alkali resistant glass fiber
