  • Patent number: 4586304
    Abstract: An insulated siding panel comprises a panel of hardboard attached by adhesive to a polystyrene foam layer. The rear surface of the foam layer is parallel to the front face of the hardboard panel. The upper and lower faces have parallel V-shape with the upper face having the V inward for collection of moisture. The panels are installed by overlapping the hardboard of two adjacent panels to allow the foam layers to interlock leaving a space for a sponge layer. Channels are formed in the foam downwardly between the hardboard and the foam and across the bottom of the foam to provide an intercommunicating network to transmit moisture vapor. The panels can be nailed to the front face of a building using a spacer device to set the distance of the upper edge of the panel from the front face of the building to prevent compression of the foam.
