Abstract
A method for insulating and imparting a desired architectural style to a building or other structure is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes providing a facade comprising an insulating panel and a decorative layer coupled to a front side of the insulating panel. The facade has a substantially planar surface on a back side thereof. The front side of the facade may be non-planar to provide a desired architectural contour to the facade. The method further provides an attachment mechanism on at least one of: (1) the back side of the facade, and (2) an exposed face of a building or other structure. The method attaches the back side of the facade to the exposed face of the building or other structure using the attachment mechanism. A corresponding apparatus and overall assembly are also disclosed herein.
