ABSTRACT:
An insulating facing material in accordance with the present invention may include at least two longitudinal sheets formed from a flexible, foldable material that is suitable for coiling for storage purposes. In a preferred embodiment, each sheet includes two substantially parallel longitudinal edges disposed between first and second ends, wherein the longitudinal sheets are arranged on top of one another such that the longitudinal edges of each sheet overlap one another. At least one sheet in the facing material includes at least one fold disposed therein, wherein each fold allows a folded sheet to expand and have a greater area than that of an adjacent sheet, thereby allowing an air gap to form between adjacent sheets. The backing may also include an attaching mechanism for attaching overlapping longitudinal edges of each sheet to one another. One or more sheets within the facing material may include a reflective foil layer disposed on at least one surface thereof for reflecting radiant energy to contribute to the insulating effect of the air gap. The inventive facing may comprise a backing attached to a fiber glass layer.
