What Is Claimed Is:
1. A method of attaching a layer of hook fasteners onto the top or bottom of an insulation board, comprising:
(a) providing an insulation board assembly, comprising:
(i) insulation board,
(ii) a top facer covering the top of the insulation board, and
(iii) a bottom facer covering the bottom of the insulation board;
(b) applying an adhesive onto the top of the insulation board assembly; and then
(c) applying a layer of hook fasteners onto the top of the adhesive,
wherein the layer of hook fasteners covers only a partial surface of the insulation board.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the layer of hook fasteners are made of a polypropylene film or of Velcro® HTH935.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the layer of hook fasteners comprises:
a plurality of strips of hook fastener layer material positioned side-by-side one another and spaced apart from one another.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the strips are positioned in parallel to one another.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein the strips are positioned spaced inwardly from side edges of the insulation board.
6. The method of claim 3, wherein the adhesive is applied on top of the insulation board in sections that are side-by-side one another and spaced apart from one another such that the strips of hook fastener layer material are positioned on top of the spaced apart sections of adhesive.
7. A method of attaching a layer of hook fasteners onto the top of an insulation board, comprising:
(a) providing a top facer;
(b) adhering a layer of hook fasteners onto the top facer;
(c) providing an insulation board;
(d) providing a bottom facer; and
(e) simultaneously passing the insulation board and the top and bottom facers through a laminator, wherein the laminator heats and adheres or attaches the top and bottom facers onto the insulation board.
8. The method of claim 7:
wherein the layer of hook fasteners comprises a plurality of strips of hook fastener layer material positioned side-by-side one another; and
wherein the top facer comprises a plurality of top facer sections positioned side-by-side one another.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the strips of hook fastener layer material are positioned side- by-side one another with an intermediate hook layer strip therebetween, and wherein the intermediate hook layer strip is adhered to edges of the side-by-side top facer sections.
10. The method of claim 8, wherein the strips of hook fastener layer material are positioned side- by-side one another and offset from the edges of the side-by-side top facer section layers below, and wherein an edge of one strip of hook fastener layer material is adhered to an edge of a top facer section below.
11. The method of claim 8, wherein a side edge of one top facer section overlaps the side edge of another top facer section, and wherein the side edges of the top facer sections are adhered together, and wherein a separate strip of hook layer material is positioned on top of each of the top facer sections.
12. The method of claim 8:
wherein the strips of hook fastener layer material are taped together, and
wherein the top facer sections are taped together.
13. The method of claim 7, wherein the top facer is placed adjacent to the bottom of the laminator and the bottom facer is positioned adjacent to the top of the laminator.
14. The method of claim 7, wherein the layer of hook fasteners are made of a polypropylene film or of Velcro® HTH935.
15. A method of attaching a layer of hook fasteners onto the top of an insulation board, comprising:
(a) providing a top facer comprising a plurality of top facer sections positioned side-by- side one another;
(b) adhering a layer of hook fasteners onto the top facer, wherein the layer of hook fasteners comprises a plurality of strips of hook fastener layer material positioned side-by-side one another; and
(c) adhering the top facer onto an insulation board.
16. The method of claim 15, wherein the strips of hook fastener layer material are positioned side-by-side one another with an intermediate hook layer strip therebetween, and wherein the intermediate hook layer strip is adhered to edges of the side-by-side top facer sections.
17. The method of claim 15, wherein the strips of hook fastener layer material are positioned side-by-side one another and offset from the edges of the side-by-side top facer section layers below, and wherein an edge of one strip of hook fastener layer material is adhered to an edge of a top facer section below.
18. The method of claim 15, wherein a side edge of one top facer section overlaps the side edge of another top facer section, and wherein the side edges of the top facer sections are adhered together, and wherein a separate strip of hook layer material is positioned on top of each of the top facer sections.
19. The method of claim 15:
wherein the strips of hook fastener layer material are taped together, and
wherein the top facer sections are taped together.
20. A method of attaching a layer of hook fasteners onto the top of an insulation board, comprising:
(a) providing a bottom facer;
(b) providing an insulation board;
(c) providing a layer of hook fasteners; and
(d) simultaneously passing the insulation board, the bottom facer and the layer of hook fasteners through a laminator, wherein the laminator heats and seals the bottom facer to the bottom of the insulation board and the layer of hook fasteners to the top of the insulation board.
21. The method of claim 20, wherein the bottom facer is placed adjacent to the top of the laminator and the layer of hook fasteners is positioned adjacent to the top of the laminator.
22. The method of claim 20, wherein the layer of hook fasteners are made of a polypropylene film.
23. The method of claim 20, wherein the layer of hook fasteners are made of Velcro® HTH935.
24. The method of claim 20, wherein the strips of hook fastener layer material are positioned side-by-side one another with an intermediate hook layer strip therebetween, and wherein the intermediate hook layer strip is adhered to edges of the side-by-side top facer sections.
