Adjustable head-of-wall insulation construction for use with wider wall configurations

摘要

A construction for insulating the head-of-wall joint between a wall and a floor or roof thereabove which utilizes an insulating gasket construction positionable between the ceiling track and the building structure thereabove. The insulating gasket member includes two L-shaped sections which includes co-operate to firestop both outwardly facing sides of a head-of-wall joint, but which can also be used singly. Each L-shaped section is attached to an associated side section which extends over the outwardly facing surfaces of a ceiling track with being attached thereto. Each L-shaped insulation gasket section can include securement mechanism such as adhesive on the undersurface of the main upper horizontal portion to facilitate attachment to the top of the track therebelow and can be attached to an adjacent similarly configured L-shaped section by one or more connecting straps extending through slits defined therein.

1. An adjustable head-of-wall insulating construction for sealing a head-of-wall area between a ceiling thereabove and a wall configuration therebelow which is wider than standard and which includes a ceiling track having a main track section which extends generally horizontally and a first track side section extending downwardly therefrom and a second side track section extend downwardly therefrom at a position spatially disposed from the first track section wherein the main track section includes a first track side section defining a first lowermost edge thereof and a second side track section defining a second lowermost edge thereof, said insulating gasket construction comprising:
A. an L-shaped gasket section including:
(1) a gasket upper panel of insulating material positioned immediately above the main track section of the ceiling track and extending generally horizontally thereover; and(2) a gasket side panel of insulating material attached with respect to said gasket upper panel and extending generally downwardly therefrom across the first track side section for insulating thereover, said gasket side panel extending downwardly from said gasket upper panel to define the generally L-shape configuration of the L-shaped gasket section, said gasket upper panel and said gasket side panel together defining a track receiving recess facing downwardly therebelow; and B. a panel adhesive means mounted on said gasket upper panel at a position between said gasket upper panel and the main track section at a position immediately therebelow to facilitate engagement between said gasket upper panel of said L-shaped gasket section and the main track section of the ceiling track.
