ABSTRACT:
An insulating panel having at least one pair of opposite vertical sides defining opposite vertical interfaces for connection to other similar insulating panels abutting it. One of the opposite vertical interface includes a tongue and groove interlock consisting of at least three rows of aligned tongues and grooves, the three rows including first, second and third row adjacent to each other, the second row extending between the first and third rows, the aligned tongues and grooves of each of the rows being staggered with respect to the tongues and grooves of each adjacent row. The vertical interface opposite the one vertical interface includes a corresponding tongue and groove interlock consisting of a same number of rows of aligned tongues and grooves sized and positioned to engage and interfit with the rows of tongues and grooves of the one vertical interface of another similar insulating panel abutted to the panel so as to maximize a homogeneous force distribution along the adjacent interfaces of abutted panels and to act as a weather strip to prevent air circulation between the rows of tongues and grooves, thereby increasing the effective shearing strength as well as the effective insulation of the abutted panels.
