INSULATION PANEL AND METHODS

摘要

An insulation panel (1, 601) is used as exterior wall insulation cladding affixed to the external walls of a building via fitting section or fastening flange (8, 608) of the panel (1, 601) which includes screw slots to allow simple installation. The panel (1, 601) consists of an outer layer or front surface (2, 602) of thermoplastic or other suitable material that provides weatherproofing, is durable with low conductivity and an efficient inner insulation material (7) consisting of a closed cell thermal insulation material in a cavity (6,606). The panels (1, 601) are aligned and attached together by tessellation. The panel (1, 601) is extruded or injection moulded or formed by any other process suitable for this application. Internal features (15, 615) can include connecting bridges for added rigidity. A rear surface (3, 603) of the panel (1, 601) may feature air and moisture vents to disperse trapped moisture and gas between the wall face and the rear (3, 603) of the panel (1, 601).

主权项

1. An insulation panel for a building or structure, the panel comprising a cavity between a front surface and a rear surface with a top edge and a bottom edge, the rear surface extending beyond the top edge in use substantially in a contiguous plane with the rear surface to define a fastening flange for securing the panel to a surface to be insulated, the top edge and the bottom edge reciprocally shaped and downwardly angled away from the rear surface upon and to each other to allow for keyed abutment upon keying features between two insulation panels in use side by side one upper the other and the fastening flange configured with sufficient width to provide a hung pivot so that the pivot ensures the upper panel is against the surface to be insulated in use below the flange and there is forced abutment between the top edge and bottom edge of the side by side panels in use and locked by the keying features about the pivot of the upper panel.
