A fungi resistant asphalt is combined with a base sheet to form a fungi resistant asphalt containing sheet material. Typically, the base sheet is a fibrous base sheet that, by itself, may or may not be fungi resistant. The fungi resistant asphalt is at least partially absorbed by the base sheet to form the fungi resistant asphalt containing sheet material and typically forms one or both major surfaces of the fungi resistant asphalt containing sheet material.

Fungi resistant asphalt and asphalt sheet materials

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.

Tabless faced insulation assembly

A system suitable for conducting an on-site measurement of the density and/or R-value of a gas-permeable material, comprising: a device comprising: a chamber comprising a first port and a second port; a diffuser in fluid communication with the second port of the chamber, wherein the diffuser comprises a diffuser port for conveying a gas flow to or from a gas-permeable material, and wherein the area of the diffuser port is greater than the area of the second port; and a pressure sensor arranged to measure the pressure in the chamber; and an analyzer for determining the density and/or R-value of the gas-permeable material based on pressure measurements obtained by the pressure sensor.

System for conducting the on-site measurement of the density or thermal resistance of a material

A device suitable for conducting an on-site measurement of the density and/or R-value of a gas-permeable material is provided. The device comprises a chamber comprising a first port and a second port; a diffuser in fluid communication with the second port of the chamber, wherein the diffuser comprises a diffuser port for conveying a gas flow to or from a gas-permeable material, and wherein the area of the diffuser port is greater than the area of the second port; and a pressure sensor arranged to measure the pressure in the chamber.

On-site measurement of the density or thermal resistance of a material

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.
