Water pipes and electric cables are usually installed on the outside surface of prior art panels. While it is possible to install water pipes and electric conduits under the panel surface, this requires cutting into the surface and then having to restore and redecorate the panel post installation. If this is not skillfully undertaken, the repair work will not only be unsightly, but may result in permanent damage to the structural integrity of the panel thereby degrading overall performance. Most prior art wallboard panels have poor weight bearing capacity. Upright walls constructed from these panels inevitably have poor wind shear load resistance.
