Joint closure system for foamboards
First Claim
1. An insulating assembly comprising a plurality of insulating structures lying in abutting relationship for forming an envelope to cover a wall or roof of a building, each structure comprising:
- a generally rectangular board of insulating material having two major surfaces and a first facing sheet on one of the surfaces, and a second facing sheet on the other of the surfaces, first and second side edges, and top and bottom edges; and
a generally rectangular closure strip having two equal and integral rectangular side portions comprising a first side portion extending over the first facing sheet from the top edge to the bottom edge and inwardly a short distance from the first side edge of the board, the first side portion being bonded to the first facing sheet, and a second side portion extending outwardly away from the board a short distance from the first side edge, the second side portion extending over the second side edge of the adjacent insulating structure and being bonded to the first facing sheet of the adjacent insulating structure wherein the insulating structures form an envelope to cover a wall or roof of a metal building, the first facing sheet of each insulating structure facing to the interior of the building, the second facing sheet of each insulating structure facing the exterior of the building, and each second facing sheet being covered by metal sheeting.

Abstract
An insulating structure comprises a board of insulating material having two major surfaces, two side edges and top and bottom edges, and facing sheets on each of the major surfaces, and a generally rectangular closure strip having two equal and integral side portions. One side portion is bonded to one of the facing sheets and extends over said facing sheet from the top edge to the bottom edge and inwardly a short distance from one of the side edges of the board. The other side portion extends outwardly away from the board a short distance from said side edge. A plurality of the insulating structures are positioned in abutting relationship to form an insulating envelope covering a wall or roof of a building.

12. An insulating structure adapted to be positioned adjacent similar structures in edge-to-edge relationship to cover a wall or roof of a building, the structure comprising:
-
a generally rectangular board of insulating material having two major surfaces and a first facing sheet on one of the surfaces, and a second facing sheet on the other of the surfaces, first and second side edges, and top and bottom edges; and
a generally rectangular closure strip having two equal and integral rectangular side portions comprising a first side portion extending over the first facing sheet from the top edge to the bottom edge and inwardly a short distance from the first side edge of the board, the first side portion being bonded to the first facing sheet, and a second side portion extending outwardly away from the board a short distance from the first side edge, the surface of the second side portion which extends outwardly from the bonded surface of the first side portion being covered by a strip of a pressure sensitive adhesive, the pressure sensitive adhesive being covered by a release tape. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
