A faced insulation assembly has a facing sheet with a central field portion that overlays and is bonded to a major surface of the insulation layer. The sheet has two lateral tabs that are joined to the central field portion of the sheet along fold lines. The tabs are folded back to overlay the central field portion of sheet. The fold lines may include score lines or weld lines to help maintain the tabs in the folded position for handling. The tabs have tab strips bonded thereto that may be bonded to the tabs by a pressure sensitive adhesive whereby the tabs may be left in the folded position, unfolded for stapling to framing members, or have the tab strips removed for bonding to framing members either in a folded or an unfolded position.

Permeance ratings of a variable perm sheet material, facing, and faced building insulation assembly vary with ambient humidity and/or temperature. In the insulation assembly, a facing is bonded to a major surface of an insulation layer. A central field portion of the facing, as bonded to the insulation layer, has variable water vapor transmission properties that vary from a relatively low permeance when exposed to ambient conditions of low humidity to a relatively high permeance when exposed to ambient conditions of high humidity. Preferably, the facing, as part of an insulation assembly, is fungi growth-resistant and may include a bonding layer, such as a heat activated bonding layer, that bonds the facing to an insulation layer. The sheet material may be embossed to affect its water vapor transmission characteristics.

A frangible access panel separation system for separating an access panel from a host structure is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes first and second doublers for initially interconnecting the first and second sections, an expandable explosive system contained in a cavity defined by the first and second doublers and first and second sections, and first and second staggered grooves positioned on the first and second doublers, the first and second doublers severable along break planes defined by the first and second staggered grooves to facilitate a substantially collision-free separation and ejection of the first section relative to the second section, and a detonator member for initiating detonation thereof.

The facing of a faced insulation layer has Z-folded, double-folded, or single-folded lateral tabs extending the length of the facing sheet along or spaced inwardly from lateral edges of the facing sheet. Each lateral tab has multiple segments. One of the segments of each lateral tab has an adhesive thereon that can be exposed and extended beyond one of the lateral edges of the insulation layer for bonding the faced insulation layer to a framing member. Where the blanket is separable into sections, the facing has pairs of separable tabs that separate when the blanket is separated to expose surfaces of the separable tabs with adhesive thereon. The adhesive may be microencapsulated or have microencapsulated constituent(s).

The facing of a faced building insulation assembly includes a central field portion that is fungi growth resistant. The facing, as part of an insulation assembly, is fungi growth-resistant, may be perforated to provide a selected water vapor permeance, and may include a bonding layer such as a heat activated bonding layer, that bonds the facing to an insulation layer of the assembly. The facing may be tabless or have tabs.

A pre-cut resilient fibrous insulation blanket includes a plurality of longitudinally extending blanket sections that are formed in the blanket by a plurality of laterally spaced apart cut and separable connector arrangements that hold the insulation blanket together for handling but enable the insulation blanket to be separated at any of the cut and separable connector arrangements to form a reduced width resilient fibrous insulation blanket. The number and widths of the blanket sections together with the lateral compressibility and resilience of the insulation blanket or a reduced width insulation blanket formed from the insulation blanket enable the insulation of essentially any width framework cavity up to the width of the insulation blanket with no more than one separation of the insulation blanket.

An insulation package contains a plurality of unfaced or faced, uncut and pre-cut fibrous insulation batts of a pre-selected width enveloped within a covering in a compressed condition. Each of the pre-cut fibrous insulation batts has a plurality of longitudinally extending batt sections separably joined to adjacent batt sections by separable connectors. The separable connectors hold the pre-cut fibrous insulation batt together for handling but can be separated along the lengths of the batt sections by hand to separate adjacent batt sections. Preferably, between 20% and 70% of the fibrous insulation batts in each of the insulation packages are pre-cut fibrous insulation batts.

The facing of a faced building insulation assembly includes a central field portion that is fungi growth resistant. The facing may include a fungi growth-inhibiting agent, be perforated to provide a selected water vapor permeance, and/or may include a heat activated bonding agent. The facing may have lateral tabs that are transparent, sufficiently open to enable wallboard to be directly bonded to framing members overlaid by the tabs, and/or of greater integrity than the field portion of the facing. The field portion of the facing may include a coating to stiffen the facing, inhibit fungi growth, and/or decrease flame spread and smoke formation.

A separation system for separating a first section from a second section is disclosed. In one embodiment, the separation system includes first and second doublers for initially interconnecting the first and second sections, an expandable explosive system contained in a cavity defined by the first and second doublers and first and second sections, first and second grooves positioned on the first and second doublers, the first and second doublers severable along break planes defined by the first and second grooves, and bend augmenters associated with at least one of the first and second doublers to facilitate hinging of the doubler upon firing of the explosive, which thereby reduces separation shock.
