A non-planar formed body of particulate insulating material is made by first compacting substantially inorganic non-fusible particulate insulating material to form a plane panel. Covering material (20, 28), such as glass cloth coated with a settable composition or thermoplastic material effectively comprising a settable composition, is disposed adjacent one or both faces of the plane panel, in a forming means (22, 26). The forming means is then operated to form the panel into the desired non-planar form (24), and the settable composition is allowed to harden. <IMAGE> |
