Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method for improving ventilation and drainage in building walls, floors, and roofs. The method involves adding a foam insulation board with ventilation and drainage grooves and protrusions to the building and creating vents at the ends of the insulation board. The vents allow air to move through the insulation and out of the vents, while the grooves and protrusions facilitate drainage of water. The "technical effect" of this method is better ventilation and drainage in building materials, which can reduce moisture and improve energy efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

Failure to adequately remove moisture can lead to adverse consequences, for example, mold and / or rot.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Referring to the figures, the ventilated and draining foam insulation panel for a wall, floor, and / or roof is illustrated.

[0016]FIG. 1 shows a wall 10, parts broken away for clarity (the invention is not limited to wall, as discussed below). Wall 10 shows frame 12 (having studs and plates) with a conventional interior cladding 11 (e.g., drywall, paneling), a conventional sheathing 14 (e.g., OSB, foam board, plywood), an optional, but preferred, a conventional moisture barrier 18 (e.g., house wrap), foam insulation panel 50, a veneer (or exterior cladding) 16, an vents 70.

[0017]FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of an embodiment of a cross-section of a wall system 10 on a foundation 20. The wall system 10 generally includes: a frame 12, a sheathing 14 affixed to the frame 12, a foam insulation panel 50 (discussed in greater detail below) affixed over the sheathing 14, and a veneer 16 (e.g., brick, stucco, siding). Optionally, the wall system 10 may include a vapor barrier (e.g....

Abstract

A method for facilitating ventilation and / or drainage in a building wall, floor, and / or roof by the step of: placing a foam insulation board with an interior board face and an exterior board face, at least one board face having ventilation and / or drainage grooves and / or protrusions into the building wall, floor, and / or roof; providing vents in the building wall, floor, and / or roof adjacent end portions of the insulation board, whereby ventilation is facilitated within the wall, floor, and / or roof of the building by air moving through the vents, along the grooves and / or protrusions of the foam insulation board, and out of the vents, drainage of water is facilitated within the wall or the roof of the building by a pathway created by the grooves and / or protrusions, and moisture removal is facilitated by the passage of air during ventilation.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 670,019 filed May 11, 2018; U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 732,742 filed Sep. 18, 2018; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 743,594 filed Oct. 10, 2018, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention is directed to removal of moisture from the wall, floor, and / or roof of a building.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In building construction (residential and / or commercial), moisture removal from within a wall, floor, and / or roof is an important consideration. Failure to adequately remove moisture can lead to adverse consequences, for example, mold and / or rot. Some contemporary solutions are to promote airflow, ventilation, and drainage within the wall floor, and / or roof by, for example, the use of an entangled net product. The air movement is used to move any moisture out of the wall, floor, and / or...
