  • Publication number: 20030213525
    Abstract: Disclosed is an insulative support member typically for insulating piping. The insulative support member provides a supportive point of attachment for a hanger to attach the insulated pipe to a ceiling. The support member can provide both insulative value and structural support whereby a hanger can attach to the piping insulation without crushing the insulation.

  • Publication number: 20020043037
    Abstract: A fastening system for attaching an expandable building panel or surface covering system to a substrate is provided. The fastening system includes at least one slip clip which, when utilized, allows for longitudinal movement of the building panel, while substantially preventing transverse movement. Typically, a spring clip will be used in combination with the slip clip to apply pressure to the panel, thereby allowing expansion and contraction of the panel in a longitudinal direction while eliminating gaps between the adjacent end-to-end panels. A method of installing building panels using the described fastening system is also provided.
