An insulating panel for buildings has an insulating core with one face imprinted with a grid pattern and a multiplicity of rectilinear lines radiating from one corner and defining increasing included angles relative to the base side of the panel which corresponds to pitch lines of roofs. The pitch line of a roof may be determined, and then the equivalent angular line located on the printed face. The panel may be cut along this line to abut closely the structural member of the roof extending at that angle. Vertical and horizontal measurements of the space in which the panel is to be fitted can be readily transposed to the grid pattern for making perpendicular or horizontal cuts therealong. The panel is conveniently formed by imprinting a facing sheet member and securing it to a synthetic resin core member.
A building panel adapted to be cut to fit closely within a selected area of a building surface comprising an insulating member of generally rectangular configuration having a pair of essentially planar faces, said insulating member being formed from an insulating material providing insulating characteristics and readily cut, said insulating material being selected from the group consisting of wood fiber, cardboard and foamed synthetic resin, one face of said insulating member having printed thereon a grid pattern and a multiplicity of rectilinear lines extending from one corner of said panel at different angular relationships to one of the two sides thereof which intersect at said one corner, said rectilinear lines extending to the remaining sides of said panel, said panel being readily cut along any one of said rectilinear lines or of the lines of said grid for fitting of said panel to conform closely to the periphery of a selected area on a building surface.
A building panel adapted to be cut to fit closely within a selected area of a building surface comprising an insulating member of generally rectangular configuration having a pair of essentially planar faces, said insulating member being formed from a synthetic resin providing insulating characteristics and readily cut, said insulating material being selected from the group consisting of wood fiber, cardboard and foamed synthetic resin, one face of said core member having printed thereon (i) a grid pattern comprised of perpendicularly intersecting lines spaced apart at uniform intervals, (ii) a first multiplicity of rectilinear lines extending from one corner of said panel at different angular relationships to one of the two sides thereof intersecting at said one corner, (iii) a second multiplicity of rectilinear lines extending from a second corner of said panel at different angular relationships, said rectilinear lines extending from said corners to opposite sides of said panel and the lines of said second multiplicity intersecting said first mentioned multiplicity of lines, and (iv) indicia imprinted thereon adjacent lines of each of said multiplicity of lines, said panel being readily cut along any one of said rectilinear lines or of the lines of said grid for fitting of said panel to conform closely to the periphery of a selected area on a building surface.
