1. A reinforced insulative core adapted for use with at least one facing material, comprising:
- an insulative material having a front surface, a back surface, a top side, a bottom side and a pair of opposing lateral edges extending therebetween;
a first plurality of fibers positioned proximate to said front surface and extending substantially between said top side, said bottom side and said pair of opposing lateral edges;
a second plurality of fibers positioned proximate to said back surface and extending substantially between said top side, said bottom side and said pair of opposing lateral edges;
at least one interwoven fiber grid extending substantially from said back surface to said front surface of said insulative material, and interconnecting said first plurality of fibers to said second plurality of fibers, wherein said insulative material, said at least one interwoven fiber grid and said first and said second plurality of fibers are operatively interconnected.

11. A building panel adapted for use with at least one facing material, comprising:
-
an insulative material having a front surface and a back surface;
a first plurality of interconnected fibers positioned proximate to said front surface;
a second plurality of interconnected fibers positioned proximate to said back surface;
at least one fiber grid positioned within said insulative material and having at least a portion extending transversely between said front surface and said back surface, and operably interconnecting said first plurality of interconnected fibers to said second plurality of interconnected fibers; and
a spacing means in contact with at least one of said front surface and said back surface of said insulative material to provide a separation between said first and said second plurality of fibers and said insulative material. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
