  • APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING DENSITY OF INSULATION
    Publication number: 20190383775
    Abstract: Various apparatuses and methods for use in determining the density of insulation in a building cavity are provided. The density of the insulation can then be used for determining the R-value of the insulation. An insulation density measuring apparatus includes a sound wave source and a sound detecting device, such as a microphone, for measuring the sound wave attenuation of a sound wave that moves between the sound wave source and the sound detecting device through the insulation. The sound wave attenuation measurement is correlated with an insulation density.

  • Roof insulation systems
    Patent number: 9926702
    Abstract: An insulation system includes roof sheathing panels, spaced apart structural members, a first insulation material, and a second insulation material. The first insulation material is disposed between pairs of the spaced apart structural members. The second insulation material is disposed across the spaced apart structural members and the first insulation material, such that both the spaced apart structural members and the first insulation material are covered by the second insulation material.

  • ROOF INSULATION SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20170051502
    Abstract: An insulation system includes insulation support wires connected to wooden structural members that support roof sheathing. Insulation batts are disposed between the wooden structural members and on the insulation support wire. Portions of the insulation batts are disposed directly under bottommost surfaces of the wooden structural members.
