Adhesive-backed composite insulation boards with vacuum-insulated capsules

Abstract

A method of constructing a roof assembly, the method comprising (i) mechanically affixing a construction board to a roof deck; (ii) providing a composite insulation board including (a) at least one vacuum-insulated capsule; (b) a foam body that encases said at least one vacuum-insulated capsule, said foam body having first and second opposed planar surfaces; (c) a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed, either directly or indirectly, on one of said first and second opposed planar surfaces; and (d) a release liner removably attached to the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive; (iii) removing the release liner from the composite insulation board; (iv) mating the composite insulation board to the construction board that is mechanically affixed to the roof deck; and (v) installing a membrane system over the composite insulation board.
