Abstract
Abstract The insulation batt has a facing with a facing flange, the facing flange having pressure-sensitive adhesive thereon and being folded inwardly to engage the pressure-sensitive adhesive with a release strip on the inside of the facing and dispose the facing flange flush with an edge of the batt. For installation of the batt, the facing flange is unfolded outwardly to expose the pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
Faced insulation comprising a fibrous insulation batt, a facing having a facing flange normally extending transversely outwardly from an edge of the batt when in a condition for installation of the batt, pressure-sensitive adhesive on a side of the facing flange adjacent the batt when the facing flange is extended outwardly form the edge of the batt, and a release strip on an inner side of the facing inwardly of but adjacent said facing flange, the facing flange being folded inwardly between the batt and the remainder of the facing when in a condition for storage and shipment of the faced insulation, with the pressure-sensitive adhesive in engagement with said release strip, the facing transversely inwardly of the inwardly folded facing flange being adhered to a major surface of the batt.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
