Abstract
A duct board system/method utilizing extruded edge interconnection strips (EIS) is disclosed. The EIS are formed to allow linkage of planar duct board sheets (DBS) in a variety of connection methodologies including right angle corner connections (RAC), planar sheet connections (PSC), planar interface connections (PIC), and surface interface connections (SIC), without the need for specialized DBS cutting tools or fabrication dies. The EIS may incorporate provisions for spaced and/or on-demand fastener connection of DBS to the EIS, provisions for ridged/lobed/edged linkage of the DBS to the EIS, as well as provisions for edge sealed linkage of the DBS to the EIS.
