Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A laminated insulated drainage panel, for installation between a backing wall and an exterior masonry wall of a masonry drainage wall system, the panel comprising: a generally planar insulating layer; and a porous layer disposed on one side of the insulating layer; the panel having mitered edges; wherein the panel may be installed in the wall system with the insulating layer adjacent the backing wall, and with the porous layer between the insulating layer and the exterior masonry wall for providing a vertical drainage path within the drainage wall system.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
