Abstract
The present invention relates to fabricated metal toilet stall panels comprising opposed panel sheets, each having flanged edges which cooperate to define an essentially hollow core. The panels at the flanged edges include an inwardly directed sealing flange in abutting opposed relation with the like sealing flange of the opposed panel sheet. The metal panels are at least primarily secured to each other by an adhesive seal between the sealing flanges. The method of the present application comprises forming of the metal panels, including the flanged edges with the inwardly directed sealing flange, placing opposed panels in abutting contact such that the sealing flanges generally engage, applying an adhesive between the sealing flanges, and maintaining the particular relationship of the panel sheets until the adhesive has cured to an extend sufficient to maintain the engagement of the panels.
