Abstract: An insulating blanket is disclosed in which a semi-rigid mat of glass fibers is bonded on one side to a facing material. Lateral cuts are formed in the mat extending from the opposite side thereof toward the side on which the facing is bonded. Such cuts allow the facing to bend with a hinge-like manner when the insulating blanket is rolled, permitting the lamination of the facing and mat and the rolling of the laminate prior to the setting of the adhesive. The preferred method and apparatus for forming such insulating blanket is also disclosed.
