Abstract

The insulating element is formed by a rectangular panel (1) composed of insulating material, such as extruded polystyrene foam whose edges (4, 6) include a longitudinal groove forming a rabbet (8) or a center groove (10). A pasty coating (2) containing mineral particles covers one of the sides of the panel (1) and a flat sealing element (14) is formed on two adjacent edges of the element and permits a rapid and simple assembly of the element with two other respectively juxtaposed and superimposed elements. This sealing element maintains the edges of the elements spaced apart on the outer side of the assembly but closes in a fluidtight manner the side facing the wall to be insulated.
