Abstract
To improve and reinforce the structural integrity of plastic foam laminates, a new plastic sheet member is now laminated within. Plastic foam laminates are used to insulate architectural glass making the glass about 90% to 99% insulated which directly affects global climate change. Typical energy savings of 40% or more of the heating and cooling load in a US residential home is achievable with substantial energy savings in nonresidential applications.
Claims20

- a) a plastic foam layer at least ¼ inch (6.35 mm) thick and;
- b) an optional heat seal layer on the glass side of the said plastic foam and;
- c) at least one reinforcing layer on either side of the said plastic foam and;
- d) an optional plastic film decorative layer and;
- e) at least one inner glass side adhesive layer and;
- f) an optional exposed adhesive layer removable and reusable from architectural glass.
