Abstract
Abstract Insulating stud members comprising a foamed core having a sheetform fastening member affixed to one surface and a thin moistureimpervious sheet affixed to the other surface and extending beyond the edges of the core to provide sealing flanges, and assemblies comprising a plurality of abutting insulating panels joined by the stud members, the panels each having a foamed core slab and a rigid facing sheet bonded to the core slab on one side thereof and a recess extending along the free edge of each of the adjacent core slabs, the recesses of adjacent panels cooperating to define a continuous open channel therebetween of dimensions just sufficient to receive a stud member so that the flanges thereof engage the surface of the insulating panels, fastening means extending through the insulating panels and having their ends embedded in the sheet-form fastening members of the stud members, and the sealing flanges being sealed to the surfaces of the insulating panels by means of a sealing material.
