If you Filon sides, like you claim, you are dealing with delamination. Your unit is not stick built. The walls are vacuum glued and the whole wall is one integral unit. You MAY have studs in the walls, but it is not built like you are envisioning. Now, if you don't have Filon, but aluminium siding, then stick built may be a more appropriate term. Good luck to you.
Not true, there are 3 basic types of wall construction and all can have smooth fiberglass skin. Vacuum laminated and pinch rolled are close in techniques, but hung wall is close to stick built and how mobile homes are built. The wall section is built with studs and interior skin, attached to the floor. Then insulation and wiring/plumbing is done. Finally, the exterior skin is glued to the studs and attached top and bottom. With hung wall construction, it is possible to re-skin rather than replacing the complete wall.
