Abstract: A multi-layered tape comprises in order (i) a substrate having first and second surfaces, (ii) a pressure-sensitive adhesive having first and second surfaces, the first surface of the adhesive being in contact with the first surface of the substrate, (iii) a plurality of continuous spaced apart elements attached to, or partially embedded into, the second surface of the adhesive that are positioned in an angular direction to the axis of the substrate length, and (iv) a release liner having a length and width so as to cover the second surface of the adhesive and the spaced apart elements.

Abstract: A spacing device and a method for installing siding materials over Tyvek® ThermaWrap™ R5.0 or any compressible insulating house wrap. The spacing device 100 allows cladding fasteners to be installed to the same depth which helps eliminate wavy siding installations.

Abstract: An insulated trim batten for installing exterior wall insulation. The insulated trim batten comprises a strip of insulating foam having a chamfer along one edge, laminated to a wooden nailable substrate. The insulated trim batten reduces the compression of compressible insulation materials, the thermal bridging of fasteners, and eliminate water entrapment.

Abstract: An insulated framing member for exterior wall insulation, and a method for covering walls with insulation materials using the insulated framing member underneath a water or weather-resistant barrier. The insulated framing member comprises a strip of insulating foam having chamfers along the edges, laminated to a wooden nailable substrate. The insulated framing member will reduce the compression of compressible insulation materials, the thermal bridging of fasteners, and eliminate water entrapment.

Abstract: An insulated framing member for exterior wall insulation installation, and to a method for covering walls using the insulated framing member. The insulated framing member comprises a strip of insulating foam having chamfers along the edges, optionally laminated to a wooden nail base. They insulated framing member will reduce the compression of compressible insulation materials and the thermal bridging of fasteners.
