Abstract
An insulating panel assembly includes an exterior panel that is formed of a metal. The insulating panel assembly also includes an interior panel. A spacer is coupled to the exterior panel and the interior panel. The spacer maintains the exterior panel in a generally parallel, spaced relationship with the interior panel.
Claims14
An insulating panel assembly comprising:
- a building exterior facing panel, the building exterior facing panel being formed of a metal;
- a building interior facing panel, the building interior facing panel having a length equal to the building exterior facing panel;
- and
- a spacer formed of a material that is aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, fiber-reinforced polymers, structural foam, plastic-hybrid stainless steel, or a thermally-broken aluminum assembly having a thermal plastic spacer, the spacer being connected to the metal building exterior facing panel and the building interior facing panel, the spacer maintaining the metal building exterior facing panel in a generally parallel, spaced relationship with the building interior facing panel such that an unfilled gap is defined between the metal building exterior facing panel and the building interior facing panel.
