摘要

A thermal insulation panel (1) for use in the construction of walls and ceilings comprises a sheet of expanded foam plastics material whose edges (4, 5) are provided with recesses (6) which are adapted to receive a vertical and horizontal tie means (7, 13) for tying adjacent panels (1) together. The recesses (6) have a T-slot configuration for receiving a tie means also provided by this invention and comprising an element (7) preferably in the form of a plate (7) and at least one member (13) extending from one surface of the element (7). The panels (1) and tie means (7, 13) interlock by means of a sliding fit of the element (7) and member (13) into the recesses (6) of adjacent panels (1).
