Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/669,515, filed Jul. 9, 2012, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/816,478, filed Apr. 26, 2013, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention generally relates to materials and methods of insulation. More particularly, this invention relates to an insulation system for thermally insulating buildings, sheds, houses, and other structures.
- Commercial buildings generally are required to meet regulatory thermal code requirements. Although these buildings can be constructed in many different configurations, common configurations include pre-engineered metal buildings having a roof supported by a plurality of metal C or Z purlins generally supported by metal beams and post frame buildings having a roof supported by trusses.
- Conventionally, these buildings may be insulated with an insulation material, such as a fiberglass spray foam or a low emissivity reflective film facer laminated on a variety of substrates, such as bubble wrap, polystryrene (EPS), or EPS foam boards. The insulation material is typically laid across the top of the trusses or purlins. Over time, the insulation material may become degraded by age or defect of manufacture, reducing the its thermal insulation capabilities and/or resulting in an eyesore. Replacement or removal of the insulation material can be labor intensive and expensive as the insulation material is often pinned between the roof materials and the trusses or purlins during construction. Generally, the roof deck must be removed to replace the insulation material which may lead to leaks when it is reinstalled.
- In view of the above, it can be appreciated that new insulation systems are continuously sought and it would be desirable if new systems and methods of insulating commercial buildings were available that are capable of thermally insulating the buildings without the need to modify the building being insulated during installation of the insulation system.
- The present invention provides an insulation system and method of insulation suitable for thermally insulating commercial buildings without the need to modify the building being insulated during installation of the insulation system.
- According to a first aspect of the invention, an insulation system for thermally insulating a building includes a plurality of boards, at least two rails secured to supporting members of the building and adapted to secure opposite ends of each of the boards between the supporting members, and a plurality of trim pieces between adjacent pairs of the boards and adapted to connect the adjacent pairs of the boards.
- According to a second aspect of the invention, a method of installing an insulation system in a building includes a plurality of boards, at least two rails secured to supporting members of the building and adapted to secure opposite ends of each of the boards between the supporting members, and a plurality of trim pieces between adjacent pairs of the boards and adapted to connect the adjacent pairs of the boards. The method includes securing the rails to the supporting members of the building, securing the boards with the rails between the supporting members of the building so that the boards are suspended by the rails, and securing the adjacent pairs of the boards with the trim pieces to connect the adjacent pairs of the boards.
- A technical effect of the invention is the ability to install the insulation system from the inside of a building being insulated without the need to modify the building. In particular, it is believed that, by suspending the boards from support members of the building with the rails and trim pieces, the insulation system can be installed without the need to remove the roof of the building.
- Other aspects and advantages of this invention will be better appreciated from the following detailed description.
-
FIGS. 1 through 4 are side (FIGS. 1 and 2 ), end (FIG. 3 ), and bottom (FIG. 4 ) views representing an insulation system installed in a commercial building in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 is a side view representing a rail secured to a support member of a commercial building and supporting a board in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. -
FIG. 6 is a side view representing two trim pieces supporting a board in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. -
FIG. 7 is a schematic view representing the layers of a board in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. - The present invention relates to materials and methods of insulation generally relating to the insulation of buildings, particularly metal and post frame commercial buildings that are required to meet certain regulatory thermal code requirements. The invention will be described in relation to a commercial building having a roof supported by a plurality of purlins, as is common in the art, although the insulation of other types of buildings with the present invention is foreseeable, such as, but not limited to, houses, garages, sheds, and other types of residential buildings. It should be noted that the drawings are drawn for purposes of clarity when viewed in combination with the following description, and therefore are not necessarily to scale.
-
FIGS. 1 through 5 represent aninsulation system 10 comprising a plurality ofboards 12,rails 14, andtrim pieces 16, although theinsulation system 10 may include as few as at least twoboards 12, at least tworails 14, and at least onetrim piece 16.FIGS. 1 through 4 represent theinsulation system 10 installed in a commercial building. Referring toFIGS. 1 and 2 , the building includes beams (not shown) that run lengthwise in a first direction within the building andpurlins 18 that are supported by the beams and run lengthwise in a second direction within the building perpendicular to the first direction of the beams. Thepurlins 18 provide support for aroof 20 of the building. An existinginsulation material 22 is represented as being located between thepurlins 18 and theroof 20. While it is not essential to the present invention for the existinginsulation material 22 to be present in the building, such insulation is commonly pinned between the purlins and the roof of commercial buildings of the type described herein.FIGS. 1 and 2 represent thepurlins 18 as Z purlin and C purlins, respectively. Importantly, while theboards 12 are represented as being flat, it is foreseeable that they have other shapes than those shown in the figures, such as an upward curvature towards theroof 20 to prevent downward deflection that may cause theboards 12 to become disengaged with therails 14. - The
rails 14, each represented as having an F-shaped cross-section, provide the support for theinsulation system 10 and are secured to a supporting member of the building. For example,FIGS. 1 through 5 represent therails 14 as being secured to sides of thepurlins 18. Depending on the type and size of the building being insulated, it may be desirable to secure therails 14 to the beams, trusses, or any other portion of the building that is capable of supporting the weight of theinsulation system 10. Referring toFIG. 5 , therails 14 preferably include arail support portion 32 and a pair ofboard support portions 30. Therail support portion 32 provides a region of eachrail 14 adapted to be secured to the supporting member of the building. Preferably, therail support portion 32 may be positioned flush with a region of the supporting member of the building and secured with an adhesive, staples, screws, bolts, or any other type of securing device known in the art. Theboard support portions 30 are adapted to secure ends of theboards 12 of theinsulation system 10. As represented inFIG. 5 , theboard support portions 30 may define acavity 34 configured to receive and secure the ends of theboards 12. Theboards 12 may be secured within thecavity 34 by gravity, friction, or a securing device such as, but not limited to, adhesives, staples, screws, or bolts. Therails 14 are used to support opposite ends of theboards 14 and suspend theboards 12 between supporting members of the building. Therails 14 may be formed of any material known in the art capable of supporting theboards 12, preferably a polymer material. - The
trim pieces 16, each represented as having an H-shaped cross-section, are adapted to provide further support to theinsulation system 10 by securing theboards 12 to one another.FIGS. 3 and 4 represent thetrim pieces 16 as being located betweenadjacent boards 12 along the lengthwise edges of theboards 12. Referring toFIG. 6 , thetrim pieces 16 may include a pair of supportingportions 26 connected by a web orintermediate portion 24. The supportingportions 26 andintermediate portion 24 together may define a pair ofcavities 28 on opposite sides of thetrim pieces 16 and separated by theintermediate portion 24. Thecavities 28 are configured to receive and secure edges of theadjacent boards 12. Thetrim pieces 16 may be formed of any material known in the art capable of supporting theboards 12, preferably a polymer material. - In combination, the
rails 14 andtrim pieces 16 provide a support system adapted to suspend theboards 12 in a manner that promotes the thermal insulation of theroof 20 of the building, as represented inFIGS. 1 through 4 . Theboards 12 may be any size, shape, and composition known in the art. In a preferred embodiment, theboards 12 comprise at least three layers including acore material 38 with an ultra violet light (UV)resistant layer 40 exposed on a first side of thecore material 38 and a reflective thermalresistant layer 36 exposed on a second side opposite the first side, as represented inFIG. 7 . Thecore material 38 may be any material known in the art capable of being formed into theboards 12 and sufficiently rigid to be suspended with therails 14 andtrim pieces 16. Preferably, thecore material 38 is a polystyrene foam. The UVresistant layer 40 may be formed of any UV resistant material, coating, or combination thereof known in the art, preferably a white polymeric film adapted to reduce UV degradation of theboards 12 and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The reflective thermalresistant layer 36 may be formed of any reflective material, coating, or combination thereof known in the art, preferably a reflective metallized polymeric film adapted to provide an emissivity that meets the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) definition of a reflective insulation. The components may be bonded together by heat, an adhesive, or other means known in the art, depending upon the characteristics of the materials utilized. - The
insulation system 10 is preferably installed to have the UVresistant layer 40 facing downward, that is, towards the interior of the building and/or away from theroof 20, and the reflective thermalresistant layer 36 facing upward, that is, towards theroof 20 of the building. Such a configuration is believed to provide increased thermal insulation to the building as well as a clean, white ceiling and/or roof line. Investigations leading to the present invention determined that theinsulation system 10 having the above described arrangement and materials can increase the thermal performance of the building by up to R-10+ or more, and may be installed with a standard R-19 fiberglass batt to create a hybrid insulation system that meets the International Code Council (ICC) R-30 code requirement for metal commercial buildings, as may be required by American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 90.1, and further meets the ICC code requirement for ASTM E-84-09 flame spread and smoke developed. - Installation of the
insulation system 10 may include securing therails 14 to supporting members of the building, placing theboards 12 in locations to be suspended or secured by therails 14 between supporting members of the building, and securing theboards 12 toadjacent boards 12 with thetrim pieces 16. Installation can be accomplished with a simple scaffold for many smaller buildings or with the use of a scissors jack or similar device for larger commercial structures. - The
insulation system 10 is believed to provide an efficient and economical method of insulating not only newly constructed buildings, but existing metal commercial buildings as well. As previously mentioned in reference toFIGS. 1 and 2 , buildings similar to those described herein often include existinginsulation material 22, such as a fiberglass spray foam, foam board, or a low emissivity reflective film facer or an aluminum foil laminated on a variety of substrates, such as bubble wrap, polystyrene, or polystyrene foam boards. Thisinsulation material 22 is typically laid across the top of the trusses or purlins. Theinsulation material 22 may be pinned between the roof materials and the trusses and/or purlins. If theinsulation material 22 begins to degrade in appearance and performance, removal and replacement of theinsulation material 22 by conventional means may be difficult and expensive. Generally, theroof 20 of the building must be removed, theinsulation material 22 may then be removed and replaced, and finally theroof 20 must be replaced. In addition to being very labor intensive and thus expensive, removing and replacing theroof 20 may promote roof leaks as it is often difficult to replace roof sheets in the same position with screws in the same holes as originally constructed. Theinsulation system 10 provides an economical and easily installable alternative to the above conventional insulation methods, since theinsulation system 10 may be installed on the underside of theinsulation material 22, thereby improving the thermal performance of the newly created insulation system without the need to remove theroof 20 or theinsulation material 22. In addition to the above, theinsulation system 10 may be used to cover existing appearance problems associated with roof lines of buildings, and can reduce eyesores resulting from the existinginsulation material 22. Depending on the application, it may be desirable to install theinsulation system 10 solely for aesthetic purposes. For such applications, theboards 12 may be adapted to improve the appearance of the building without necessarily providing any significant improvement to the thermal performance of the building. - While the invention has been described in terms of specific embodiments, it is apparent that other forms could be adopted by one skilled in the art. For example, the physical configuration of the
rails 14,trim pieces 16, andboards 12 could differ from that shown, and materials and processes other than those noted could be used. Therefore, the scope of the invention is to be limited only by the following claims.
