Abstract:
A construction system is based on a plurality of interlocking panels, each panel formed of a non-woven, needle-punched, thermo-mechanically compacted fabric, each panel having dual density gradients, a first density gradient extending from the first outer surface to the center of panel and a second density gradient extending from the center of the panel to the outer surface, wherein less dense sections of each panel provide acoustic and thermal insulating properties and more dense sections of each panel provide strength and load-bearing properties.
