Abstract:
A pre-cut fibrous insulation blanket for custom insulating building framework cavities of different widths, comprising:an unfaced elongated resilient fibrous insulation blanket; the fibrous insulation blanket having a length, a width and a thickness; the fibrous insulation blanket having a first major surface and a second major surface which each extend for the length and width of the fibrous insulation blanket; the fibrous insulation blanket having a first series of cuts and separable connectors formed by a first series of cuts extending from the first major surface to the second major surface of the fibrous insulation blanket with successive cuts of the first series of cuts being separated by a first series of separable connectors located intermediate the first major surface and the second major surface of the fibrous insulation blanket; the separable connectors of the first series of cuts and separable connectors extending substantially from the first to the second major surface of the fibrous insulation blanket; the first series of cuts and separable connectors extending for the length of the fibrous insulation blanket and being spaced inwardly from both lateral edges of the fibrous insulation blanket; the first series of cuts being closed due to the resilience of the fibrous insulation blanket; the first series of separable connectors holding together adjacent sections of the fibrous insulation blanket joined by the first series of separable connectors for handling and being separable by hand whereby the fibrous insulation blanket can be handled as a unit for insulating a cavity having a width about equal to the width of the fibrous insulation blanket or easily separated by hand into sections at the first series of separable connectors for insulating a cavity having a width less than the width of the fibrous insulation blanket.
