Abstract
An insulated drainage panel for use in cavity wall or veneer wall construction. The insulated panel includes a generally planar insulating board; and a porous structure disposed on one side of the board.
Claims16
A laminated insulated drainage panel, for installation between a backing wall and an exterior masonry wall of a masonry drainage wall system, the panel comprising:
- a generally planar insulating layer;
- and a porous layer disposed on one side of the insulating layer;
- the panel having mitered edges;
- wherein the panel may be installed in the wall system with the insulating layer adjacent the backing wall, and with the porous layer between the insulating layer and the exterior masonry wall for providing a vertical drainage path within the drainage wall system.

An above-ground drainage wall system comprising:
- an outer masonry wythe;
- an interior back-up system separated from the outer wythe by an air space or cavity;
- and
- an insulated drainage panel disposed substantially throughout the air space between the interior back-up system and the outer wythe for excluding mortar from entering the space between the interior back-up system and the outer wythe during construction of the drainage wall system and for providing a continuous vertical drainage path after construction;
- wherein the insulated drainage panel comprises a plurality of insulated drainage boards, each board having horizontal and vertical edges, the edges of adjacent boards aligned so that the panel is disposed substantially throughout the air space;
- and wherein the horizontal adjacent edges of the boards are beveled sloping towards the outer wythe.

In a masonry drainage wall system including a backing wall, an exterior masonry wall, and a cavity formed between the backing wall and the exterior masonry wall, the improvement comprising:
- a laminated insulated drainage panel, with a generally planar insulating layer and a porous layer disposed on one side of the insulating layer, wherein the panel may be installed in the cavity with the insulating layer adjacent the backing wall, and with the porous layer between the insulating layer and the exterior masonry wall for providing a vertical drainage path within the drainage wall system;
- wherein the insulated drainage panel comprises a plurality of insulated drainage boards, each board having horizontal and vertical edges, the edges of adjacent boards aligned so that the panel is disposed substantially throughout the cavity;
- and wherein the adjacent edges of the boards are beveled and the horizontal edges slope down towards the exterior masonry wall.
