Abstract

An insulating strip is disclosed. The insulating strip includes a support layer and an insulating material strip secured to the support layer. The insulating material strip is divided into a first portion and a second portion and the first portion and the second portion are comprised of a same material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An insulating strip, comprising:
a support layer;
an insulating material strip secured to the support layer;
wherein the insulating material strip is divided into a first portion and a second portion and wherein the first portion and the second portion are comprised of a same material; and
a cover disposed on the insulating material strip;
wherein the insulating material strip is a putty which includes an intumescent additive and the cover is a tape;
wherein the putty includes a reinforcing member;
wherein the reinforcing member is comprised of glass fibers or a glass fiber fabric.

2. The insulating strip according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating material strip includes a fire-resistant material and/or an acoustically insulating material.

3. A wall joint, comprising:
a header track with a web and a leg;
a horizontal support structure disposed apart from the header track; and
an insulating strip, wherein the insulating strip includes:
a support layer;
an insulating material strip secured to the support layer;
wherein the insulating strip is attached to the header track;
wherein the insulating material strip is divided into a first portion and a second portion and wherein the first portion and the second portion are comprised of a same material; and
a cover disposed on the insulating material strip;
wherein the insulating material strip is a putty which includes an intumescent additive and the cover is a tape;
wherein the putty includes a reinforcing member;
wherein the reinforcing member is comprised of glass fibers or a glass fiber fabric.

4. The wall joint according to claim 3 , wherein the first portion is attached to the web of the header track and wherein the second portion is attached to the leg of the header track.

5. The wall joint according to claim 3 , wherein a top edge of the insulating strip does not extend above a top surface of the leg.

6. The wall joint according to claim 3 , wherein a top edge of the insulating strip extends above a top surface of the leg.

7. The wall joint according to claim 3 , wherein the insulating material strip includes a fire-resistant material and/or an acoustically insulating material.
