Abstract
The present invention is a thermal and acoustical insulation wall panel assembly that incorporates a synthetic vinyl. This panel assembly reduces the amount of hazardous waste and the cost of manufacturing, shipping and installing the insulation. The panel is comprised of a plurality of superimposed layers. One layer is a rigid facing which is preferably corrugated for supporting the panel. Attached to this facing are, in sequential layers, a thermal-insulating batt, a mass-loaded vinyl sheet for acoustic-insulation, a second thermal-insulating batt, a heat-reflective backing, and a retainer. A plurality of connectors are used to hold the plurality of superimposed layers together.
Claims17
A thermal and acoustical insulation panel assembly having a plurality of superimposed members, the insulation panel assembly comprising:
- a rigid facing;
- a first thermally-insulating batt covering one side of said rigid facing;
- an acoustically-insulating mass-loaded vinyl sheet having a thickness of about 0.03 inch, a base weight of about 1 lb./sq. ft. and an apparent bending modulus of about 25.2 mega pascals and covering said first batt;
- a second thermally-insulating batt covering said mass-loaded vinyl sheet;
- a thermally-reflective backing covering said second batt;
- a retainer positioned upon said backing;
- and,
- means for securing the plurality of superimposed members together.
A thermal and acoustical insulation panel assembly having a plurality of superimposed members, the insulation panel comprising:
- a. a corrugated metallic facing;
- b. a first thermally-insulating fibrous batt covering one side of said corrugated metallic facing, said first fibrous batt having peripheral edges;
- c. an acoustically-insulating mass-loaded vinyl sheet covering said first fibrous batt and have portions bent upon and covering said peripheral edges of said first fibrous batt, said mass-loaded vinyl sheet having a thickness of about 0.03 inches, a base weight of about 15.7 ounces/sq.-ft., an apparent bending modulus of about 25.2 mega pascals, a specific gravity of about 1.87 grams/cu.-centimeter, a tensile strength of about MD=415 psi and AMD=409 psi, a percent elongation of about MD=105% and AMD=128%, a tear of about MD=92 lbfs./in. and AMD=91 lbfs./in., and a hardness of about 84 Type A-2 Shore durometers;
- d. a second thermally-insulating fibrous batt covering said mass-loaded vinyl sheet, said first and second fibrous batts being equal in size;
- e. a moisture-resistant thermally-reflective foil backing covering said second fibrous batt;
- f. a wire mesh retainer positioned upon said backing;
- and,
- g. a plurality of connectors securing the superimposed members together, said connectors being carried by said facing and extending through said first fibrous batt, said mass-loaded vinyl sheet said second fibrous batt, said foil backing and said wire mesh retainer, and attached to a fastener plate.
