RADIANT AND INSULATING BARRIER
A radiant and insulating barrier having two sheets bonded together along spaced flat channels to define a plurality of hermetically sealed and spaced pockets between the channels. The pockets are filled with insulation. The sheets have an outer surface formed of a radiant heat reflecting material.
1 . A radiant and insulating barrier, comprising:
two sheets bonded together along spaced flat channels to define a plurality of hermetically sealed and spaced pockets between the channels, the pockets containing insulation, and
the sheets having an outer surface formed of a radiant heat reflecting material.
2 . The barrier of claim 1 wherein the sheets are formed of a radiant heat reflecting material.
3 . The barrier of claim 1 wherein the radiant heat reflecting material is metallic foil or plastic.
4 . The barrier of claim 1 wherein the pockets are filled with insulation.
5 . The barrier of claim 1 wherein the flat channels are in parallel and perpendicular relation to define sealed pockets that are uniformly spaced on the sheets.
6 . The barrier of claim 1 wherein the spaced flat channels are perforated.
7 . The barrier of claim 1 installed on a substrate wherein the barrier is secured to the substrate by securing devices positioned in the channels only.
8 . The barrier of claim 7 wherein the securing devices are staples or nails.
9 . The barrier of claim 1 wherein the sheets are formed of a flexible material to enable the barrier to be bent along the channels such that it can be easily wrapped around a substrate.
