Patent ID: 8621798

Claim:
A construction insulating panel comprising: a main body formed of a first polymer having an exterior surface and an interior surface forming the opposite major surfaces of an insulating panel; and a mounting structure formed of a second polymer having a higher tensile strength and rigidity than the first polymer, the mounting structure comprised of at least one interior support member positioned adjacent the interior surface of the main body, at least one exterior support member positioned adjacent the exterior surface of the main body and a plurality of spaced apart cross members extending between the interior support member and the exterior support member each having at least a virtual passage configured to receive first fasteners to fasten the mounting structure to a building structure wherein the first fasteners are recessed below the outer surface of the main body under compressive loading to inhibit cold bridging, the mounting structure at least partially disposed within the main body and forming with the main body an insulating panel to be fastened to the building structure under such compressive loading and to support an exterior finishing material fastened at the exterior surface of the main body to the mounting structure of the insulating panel.
