  • Wall system and insulation panel therefor
    Patent number: 6226943
    Abstract: An insulating polymer foam sheet having two major sides and at least one groove in at least one of said sides. At least a portion of the foam sheet adjacent to the groove is compressible and resilient, and has a length and height the same as the adjacent groove. Each groove and compressible portion is of a width that permits the groove to receive and tightly fit around a support member in a frame building construction.
