Abstract
A multiple conformable insulation assembly is provided and includes at least two mineral fiber batts of a binderless fibrous material of substantially long fibers interconnected to one another. Interconnection allows for the simultaneous installation of multiple batts. The insulation assembly is capable of conforming and expanding its shape to an area into which it is installed better than prior art insulation assemblies. The batts are preferably interconnected through the use of a support layer.
Claims19
A conformable insulation assembly comprising:
- at least two interconnected mineral fiber batts spaced apart by a defined distance, said mineral fiber batts being comprised of a binderless fibrous material of substantially long fibers, each of said batts adapted to expand and conform its shape to an area into which said mineral fiber batt is installed, wherein said long fibers are oriented within each of said mineral fiber batts in a generally spiral relationship when viewed from an end of said batt.
A conformable insulation assembly comprising at least two fibrous glass batts interconnected to one another by a support layer and spaced apart by a defined distance, said fibrous glass batts being comprised of binderless, substantially long glass fibers, each of said fibrous glass batts being encapsulated by an exterior plastic layer, each of said batts being adapted to expand and conform its shape into an area into which said batt has been installed, wherein said long glass fibers are oriented within each of said batts in a generally spiral relationship when viewed from an end of said batts.
