Claims30
A conformable insulation blanket comprising at least one mineral fiber batt being comprised of a binderless fibrous material of substantially long fibers, said batt adapted to expand and conform its shape to an area into which said mineral fiber batt has been installed, wherein said long fibers are oriented within said batt in a generally spiral relationship when viewed from an end of said batt.
An insulation assembly comprising at least one fibrous glass batt being comprised of binderless, substantially long glass fibers, an exterior plastic layer covering said fibrous glass batt, and at least one air passage in said exterior plastic layer for directing air to said batt, said assembly adapted to expand and conform its shape to an area into which said assembly has been installed, wherein said long fibers are oriented within said batt in a generally spiral relationship when viewed from an end of said batt.
An insulation assembly comprising at least one fibrous glass batt being comprised of binderless, substantially long glass fibers oriented within said batt in a generally spiral relationship when viewed from an end of said batt, an exterior plastic layer covering said fibrous glass batt, means for restricting relative movement between said batt and said exterior layer, and at least one air passage in said exterior plastic layer for directing air to said batt, said assembly adapted to expand and conform its shape to an area into which said assembly has been installed.
