A joint, in one embodiment, between adjacent panels of sheet encased insulating material in which one lateral edge has an essentially frustoconical nose, and the other edge has a frustoconical pocket is disclosed. In an alternative embodiment, essentially frustoconical noses are at both lateral edges and the two adjacent panels are joined by means of an I beam embodying the interlock of the present invention. In both embodiments, the interlacking relationship is a function of the lateral edges of the cladding sheet, or the flange of an I beam, in which one edge has a sealant pocket, and the apposite edge has a locking sealant press which engages the sealant pocket and thereby interlocks the panels as well as presses the sealant in the sealant pocket to compress and secure the same and to form a sealant gasket between the lateral edges of the sealant pocket and the locking sealant press. the method of the invention contemplates the steps of providing adjacent building panels with sealant packets in a seal press, and thereafter filling the sealant pocket with a predetermined amount of sealant to the end that when the joints are compressed together, there will be sufficient excess sealant material to be extruded by the sealant press lock to form gaskets or fins between the sidewalls of the sealant pocket and the sidewalls of the locking sealant press. The invention further contemplates the provision of a stabilizer reversely folded on one edge of the sealant press to overly and snap- fittingly and centeringly engage the adjacent ramp. Tn essence the two opposed stabilizers serve as a vice to grip the two opposed ramps when the adjacent panels are assembled with the sealant in the sealant pocket.
