Heat insulation sheet and sheet material using heat insulation sheet

The heat insulation sheet is provided with a fixing layer that is arranged between a base material and a carbon sheet. The fixing layer is made of a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The base material has flexibility. The carbon sheet is made by rolling expanded graphite and has a thickness from twenty-five micrometers to one hundred micrometers. In the sheet material, activated carbon is arranged opposite to the fixing layer side of the heat insulation sheet, and a surface material is arranged on a surface of the activated carbon. The fixing layer can be constituted in such a manner that a hot-melt adhesive is arranged in a reticulate manner.

Thermal Radiant Barrier for Use in Roof Insulation
20220081896 · 2022-03-17 ·

A thermal radiant barrier and methods of use are provided. The thermal radiant barrier includes a first elongated planar member and first and second walls projecting from opposite edges of the planar base. When in use, the thermal radiant base is affixed to the underside of roof decking with the first and second walls being affixed to the underside of the decking. An air passageway from the soffit vent along side the underside of the decking is created to permit the air to be channeled from the soffitt vent into the attic area alongside the decking. The temperature of the air is controlled by using material of an R-value recommended by the construction code of the region. The thermal radiant barrier may include a second elongated planar member hingeably connected to the first elongated planar member at an angle equal to the angel between the rafter and joist in a roofing structure. The second elongated member is positioned underlying Batt insulation in proximity to the soffitt vent and soffitt baffle. The second elongated member has an R-value recommended in the geographic location. In use, the R-value at an area of compressed insulation is given by the R-value of the second elongated member.
