Abstract: An apparatus for fabricating a composite material by fusing a foam material to a plastic material is provided. The apparatus includes a pressure element and at least one heating element that directly heats the plastic material. The heated plastic material transfers absorbed heat energy to the foam material. The apparatus includes a transport element that transports the heated foam material and the heated plastic material to the pressure element. The pressure element and transport element presses the heated plastic material against the heated foam material. The transport element transports the pressed plastic material and foam material from the pressure element. The plastic material and the foam material fuse together to create the fused composite board.

Abstract: A sectional door insulation system has one or more insulation blocks attached to a protective sheet. Small grooves between the insulation blocks and the protective sheet accommodate brackets on the lower and upper walls of the section of a door, such as a garage door. The secure engagement of the brackets of the door and grooves of the panel holds the panel firmly attached to the door section. The protective panel may have a textured surface. The insulating block may optionally include a barrier foil and tabs.
