Abstract
A plastic double wall panel is presented as a multi-functional purpose panel that can be laminated to any rigid or semi-rigid substrate to provide protection! waterproofing, bugproofing, drainage, solar heating, and/or an air transfer system, as well as offer a smooth surface for finishing or signage.
The invention provides a component comprising of a plastic double wall sheeting that is an extrusion of 2 parallel walls which are connected by numerous flutes or channels, along its length, in a perpendicular or triangular pattern to form a rigid single panel.
One side of the double wall panel may be slotted or perforated to create a drainage system. This allows liquid to pass through the perforated wall and drain along the flutes. The other side that is not perforated acts as a waterproof barrier or membrane. Also a cloth or material which allows liquid to pass through but not particles, may be attached to the perforated side to form a filter system.
The plastic double wall panel can be laminated to any type of rigid or semi-rigid foam, such as extruded, expanded, polyurethane, or rigid polyisocyanurate foam (which is bonded directly during manufacture of the foam), to form an insulated protected panel, and/or part of an insulating concrete system. The length, width and thickness of the laminated foam panels can be varied to conform to different size specifications. The foam side of the concrete forming panels, facing the concrete, can be grooved along its length (vertical). This allows the cement to bond completely to the foam, eliminating the need for fasteners and creating an effective moisture barrier. the edges of the foam may have an interlocking design so as to form a continuous wall. The plastic double wall acts as a crush zone to protect the foam during backfill of a below ground wall as well as seals, waterproofs, and bugproofs the wall along with providing drainage, a solar heating, and/or an air transfer system.
The plastic double wall panel also uses the inner airspace for added insulation affect.

Description
Background Of The Invention To date no drainage system uses a double wall design in which one side is perforated to allow liquid to pass through and along the flutes, while the second non perforated side acts as a barrier.
This provides a protected, limited and controlled avenue for the liquid to flow within the panel itself.
The double wall also can offer superior rigidity to that of a single wall drainage system.
Some examples of uses for this product can be found in drainage for below grade walls or floors, roofing, or drainage for hospital and abattoir floors where the liquid is quickly dispersed.
Our searching has not revealed any patent using a plastic double wall panel, that is perforated on one side only, as a solar heating system; nor any claims to using a plastic double wall panel for air transfer.
Also our searching has not revealed any patent using a plastic double wall panel that is laminated to any rigid or semi-rigid subst~ate. This is because until recently adhesives were not developed to properly bond various plastics to certain substrates, in particular to foam.
The synergistic benefits of having a plastic double wall laminated to a rigid substrate, in particular foam, is to provide extra strength, protection, and rigidity, as well as sealing seams and waterproofing the material. One of the foams weaknesses is its vulnerability to knocks and deforming.
Several concrete foam forming systems, that are available today, are limited in the weakness of the foam itself which has difficulty in resisting the tremendous forces exerted upon it during pouring, as well as the vulnerability of the foam material that must then be protected.
By laminating a plastic double wall sheeting to a foam panel the invention provides a much more rigid insulation panel that better resists the forces during pouring as well as seals, protects, bugproofs, and waterproofs the foam.
The plastic double wall offers other advantages in that one side of the double wall panel may be slotted or perforated to create a drainage system, while the other side acts as a waterproof barrier or membrane. This allows water to pass through the perforated side and drain down the flute channels. Above ground the perforated panel can be used as a solar heating system. A non perforated panel provides an inner airspace to increase the insulation factor, or also act as a solar heating system and/or an air transfer system.
Against this background the invention provides a multi-functional, plastic double wall panel that offers many advantages over other prior art .

Prior Art The applicant is aware of U.S. Patent No. 4-730-953, by Paul L. Tarko, Mar. 15, 1988, whiGh describes a drainage panel laminated to a foam panel. This is only a single wall drainage sheet and does not provide the same strength and rigidity of the double wall panel.
The applicant is aware of U.S. Patent No. 5-390-459, by Jan H. Mensen, Feb. 21, 1995, as well as Canadian Patent No. 2-017-930, by Philippe Durand, Nov. 30, 1990, and of Canadian Patent No. 1-304-952, by Serge Meilleur, July 14,1992. These patents present concrete foam forming systems, but none have a plastic double wall panel attached for extra strength, rigidity, protection, bugproofing, waterproofing, drainage, or solar heating.
Summary Of The Invention No prior art uses a plastic double wall sheeting as a protective covering for rigid foam, whether attached or laminated to it, be it for a concrete wall system or just insulation. Until recently adhesives were not developed to properly bond certain plastics to foam.
When a plastic double wall panel is laminated to a substrate, this unique synergistic panel addresses the limitations by providing superior strength and rigidity, protection, waterproofing, etc.
The double wall, rigid panel can also be attached to an existing structure or foam and/or to other foam forming systems, to re-inforce the foam, prevent the joining cracks from dislodging, protect the foam from backfill, and to seal and waterproof the entire wall surface. The side that attaches to the foam may have a peel and stick pressure sensitive adhesive, that covers one entire side of the panel to provide easy installation and sufficient bonding strength.
No prior art uses a plastic double wall sheeting or panel with one side perforated for use as a drainage system. This unique design can also be used as a solar heating system above ground.
The perforated double wall rigid panel can also be applied to existing walls, roofs, or floors to provide a simple and effective drainage system, or solar heating system.
It is for these and other reasons that the new invention comes to light as an advantageous product in overcoming the difficulties described.

Detailed Description Of The Preferred Embodiments The plastic double wall panel (Drawing %~ fig 1) is a plastic extrusion that forms 2 parallel walls ~fig 2) which are conneGted by many small parallel Ghannels or flutes (fig 3) running along the length.
One side of the plastiG double wall panel (Drawing 3, fig 2) may be perforated (fig 4) to be used as a drainage system. Liquid passes through the perforated wall and then drains along the flutes ~fig 3) inside the panel. The other side, that is not perforated acts as a barrier and is usually bonded with adhesive (fig ~) to any rigid or semi-rigid substrate or structure.
The plastic double wall panel can also be used as a solar heating system. The sun warms up the air as it enters and passes along the flutes (fig 3) inside the panel. The warm air is then drawn away via ducts or by another plastic double wall panel to a storage area or directly into the building.
If the side exposed to the sun is perforated (fig 4), air will enter all along the panel as well as from one end to offer a very efficient and economiGal heating system.
The plastic double wall panel, either perforated on the sun exposed side or not, can also benefit cooling if the warmed air simply exits outside the building, taking the heat with it.
The plastic double wall panel with one side perforated (Drawing 3-f) is ideal as a pegboard due to its lightweight strength and easy attachment, especially if bonded with pressure sensitive adhesive (fig 5) on the non perforated side.
The plastic double wall panel (fig 1) can be laminated to another similar panel (Drawing 2-C) to form a continuous lightweight thin wall. If laminated with the flutes (fig 3) of one panel at right angles to the other (Drawing 2-D) you have an extremely strong and rigid panel, suitable for quick assembly emergency housing.
The plastiG double wall panel (fig 1 ) may be laminated to foam (fig 6) or any substrate, which is then attached by adhesive or fasteners to a wall or structure. This provides a panel that offers superior rigidity and strength, waterproofing, insulation, resistance to bug infestation, and protection.
The plastic double wall panel may act as a protective crush zone, whereby the exposed side takes a beating, while the other side remains intact and protective.
When a plastic double wall panel is laminated to a substrate, in particular foam, this unique synergistic panel addresses the limitations by providing superior strength and rigidity, protection.
waterproofing, etc., and becomes ideal as part of a concrete forming system. If the side of the foam faGing the concrete is channeled or grooved (Drawing 4, fig 7) this offers a proper bonding with cement, and prevents moisture buildup between the 2 materials.
A plastic double wall panel that is laminated to foam may be used as part of a concrete forming system. The 2 plastic double wall panels (fig 1 ) may be laminated to both sides of a foam panel (Drawing1-B), or substrate, to form an even more rigid and stronger, protected, waterproof panel, suitable for such applications as wall or roofing insulation, greenhouses, drainage or solar heating.
A rigid, laminated plastic double wall panel (fig 1), with its smooth surface, is also ideal for signage, art, promotion, or display.
A rigid, laminated plastic double wall panel! with offset or overlapping panels, offer a simple conneGting system that provides a continuous wall with an off joint seal (Drawing 4, 7). In conjunction with interlocking edge profile (fig 9) you have an efficient sealed joint, suitable for water resistant applications. A spline or extrusion can be inserted into a groove along the edge (fig 10) of the panel to further strengthen the joint.
~i The plastic double wall panel (fig 1 ) can be manufactured from several different plastic or composite materials.
The thickness of the plastic in the sheets and~or the flutes Gan be varied in size per panel.
The height of the flutes (fig 3) and their distance apart can be varied per panel.
The design and layout of the flutes (fig 3) can be varied, suGh as parallel, triangulated. or Gurved.
The plastic extrusion can be coloured or transparent.
The adhesive (fig ~) can be of various types and applied using various techniques, as well as a peel and stick pressure sensitive adhesive, that covers one side of the panel to provide easy installation and sufficient bonding strength.

One side of the plastiG double wall panel (Drawing 3, fig 2) may be perforated (fig 4) to be used as a drainage system. Liquid passes through the perforated wall and then drains along the flutes ~fig 3) inside the panel. The other side, that is not perforated acts as a barrier and is usually bonded with adhesive (fig ~) to any rigid or semi-rigid substrate or structure.
The plastic double wall panel can also be used as a solar heating system. The sun warms up the air as it enters and passes along the flutes (fig 3) inside the panel. The warm air is then drawn away via ducts or by another plastic double wall panel to a storage area or directly into the building.
