Abstract
Masonry buildings for low temperature applications such as freezers and the like are insulated by applying the insulation on the exterior and providing an external vapor barrier.
Claims1
A method for the preparation of a thermally insulated masonry building, the steps of the method comprising providing a building foundation including a masonry slab, disposing on said slab a vapor barrier, positioning on the vapor barrier a layer of thermally insulating material, constructing masonry walls on the layer of insulating material disposed on the slab, providing a floor member over the insulating material disposed on the slab, providing a roof which covers space enclosed by the walls, disposing on the roof and walls a layer of thermally insulating material, disposing a vapor barrier over the insulating material on the walls and roof and joining the vapor barrier of the walls to the vapor barrier disposed on the slab of the building.
