Abstract
An insulation batt can include a first stiffening layer; an insulation layer coupled to the first stiffening layer on a first side of the insulation layer; a second stiffening layer coupled to a second side of the insulation layer distal from the first stiffening layer; and a connector coupling the first stiffening layer to the second stiffening layer, the insulation layer configured to compress between the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer when the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer are pushed together, and the insulation layer configured to expand between the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer when the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer are pulled apart.
Claims18
An insulation batt comprising:
- a first stiffening layer;
- an insulation layer coupled to the first stiffening layer on a first side of the insulation layer;
- a second stiffening layer coupled to a second side of the insulation layer distal from the first stiffening layer;
- and
- a connector coupling the first stiffening layer to the second stiffening layer, the connector comprising a first elongated connection panel and a second elongated connection panel, the first elongated connection panel connected to the first stiffening layer, the second elongated connection panel connected to the second stiffening layer, the connector defining a lengthwise crease connecting the first elongated connection panel to the second elongated connection panel, the first elongated connection panel configured to fold about the lengthwise crease relative to the second elongated connection panel, the connector detached from the insulation layer;
- the insulation layer configured to compress between the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer when the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer are pushed together, and
- the insulation layer configured to expand between the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer when the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer are pulled apart;
- and
- wherein the first stiffening layer and the second stiffening layer comprise parallel corrugated cardboard panels;
- and
- wherein the connector comprises a plurality of mounting tabs.
