Abstract
An insulation system for use with a sandwich wall panel is disclosed. The insulation system reduces the risk of flame spread through the sandwich wall panels. The insulation system provides a balance between good insulating properties and reduced flammability, without detrimentally increasing the cost of the sandwich wall panel.
Claims17
A sandwich wall panel assembly comprising:
- a first building wall panel having a first major surface facing a first exterior of the sandwich wall panel assembly and a second major surface facing a first interior of the sandwich wall panel assembly;
- a second building wall panel having a first major surface facing a second exterior of the sandwich wall panel assembly and a second major surface facing a second interior of the sandwich wall panel assembly;
- wherein at least one of the first building wall panel and the second building wall panel is a concrete panel;
- a first insulating member having a first major surface and a second major surface and a plurality of edges defining a perimeter of the first insulating member, the first insulating member positioned between the first building wall panel and the second building wall panel;
- and
- a second insulator in the form of at least one ribbon segment that is separate from the first building wall panel and the second building wall panel, positioned adjoining each of the edges;
- wherein the first insulator is combustible and the second insulator is non-combustible.
