Abstract
A vented insulator for use in nail based construction. A sheet insulator includes a base having integrally formed thereon a plurality of upwardly extending nodes of uniform size. The nodes are uniformly distributed across the length and width of the base forming a plurality of air ventilation channels. The insulation is attached to and positioned between an internally located structural deck, such as a ceiling, and an outwardly located construction, such as a roof.
Claims19
A vented insulation system for nail based roofs comprising:
- a support with an upwardly facing supporting surface;
- a first sheet of insulation material mounted atop said support and including a bottom surface positioned atop said support and further including an upwardly facing first surface with said first surface extending in a widthwise direction and a lengthwise direction, said sheet has a plurality of first nodes extending upwardly from said first surface and being distributed across said widthwise direction and said lengthwise direction and defining a plurality of first ventilation channels and a plurality of second ventilation channels extending respectively in said widthwise direction and said lengthwise direction;
- a weather resistant outer covering positioned atop said nodes with said first ventilation channels and said second ventilation channels allowing air to circulate beneath said outer covering;
- and,
- a plurality of fasteners extending through said outer covering into said nodes fixedly securing said outer covering to said sheet.

A roof for a building comprising:
- a plurality of wooden base planks secured together;
- a plurality of insulation layers positioned atop said base planks;
- a plurality of sheets of insulation material positioned in side by side fashion and mounted atop said planks and insulation layers and each including a bottom surface positioned atop said insulation layers and further including an inwardly facing first surface with said first surface extending in a widthwise direction and a lengthwise direction, each sheet has a plurality of first nodes extending upwardly from said first surface and being distributed across said widthwise direction and said lengthwise direction and defining a plurality of first ventilation channels and a plurality of second ventilation channels extending respectively in said widthwise direction and said lengthwise direction;
- a weather resistant outer covering positioned atop said nodes with said first ventilation channels and said second ventilation channels allowing air to circulate between said sheets of insulation material and said outer covering;
- and,
- a plurality of fasteners extending through said outer covering into said nodes fixedly securing said outer covering to said sheet.
3 more elements
A vented insulation sheet for nail based applications comprising:
- a first sheet of insulation material including a bottom surface and an upwardly facing surface with said upwardly facing surface extending in a widthwise direction and a lengthwise direction, said sheet having a plurality of first nodes extending upwardly from said upwardly facing surface and being distributed across said widthwise direction and said lengthwise direction and defining a plurality of first ventilation channels and a plurality of second ventilation channels extending respectively in said widthwise direction and said lengthwise direction.
