The present disclosure relates to an insulation system for securing cladding to the exterior surface of a building. An insulated panel has a front face and a rear face. Joining elements are defined in horizontal edges of the panel for connecting adjacent panels to each other. A horizontal attachment member, such as a nailing hem, is mounted to the rear face of the panel for attaching the insulated panel to the exterior surface. Receiving members are present on the front face of the panel, and can be located in receiving channels. The receiving member is generally made from a material that is better at retaining fasteners, such as nails, than the material of the insulated panel itself.

1. An insulated panel for securing cladding to the surface of a building, the insulated panel comprising: a front face, a rear face, a first horizontal joining element defined in a first horizontal end edge, a second horizontal joining element defined in a second horizontal end edge, a first vertical end edge, a second vertical end edge, and at least one receiving channel in the front face;an attachment member for securing the insulated panel to the surface of a building, the attachment member being mounted to the rear face and extending beyond the first horizontal end edge; andat least one receiving member for securing cladding to the insulated panel, the at least one receiving member being located in the at least one receiving channel and having an outer face into which an associated fastener can be inserted;wherein the at least one receiving member has greater withdrawal resistance than the front face; andwherein the at least one receiving channel extends substantially from the first horizontal end edge to the second horizontal end edge of the insulated panel. 2. The insulated panel of claim 1, wherein the at least one receiving member extends beyond the second horizontal end edge. 3. The insulated panel of claim 1, wherein the at least one receiving channel has a channel depth, the at least one receiving member has a receiving member thickness, and the channel depth is substantially equal to the receiving member thickness, such that the outer face of the at least one receiving member is flush with the front face of the insulated panel and an inner face of the at least one receiving member is flush with a base face of the receiving channel. 4. The insulated panel of claim 1, wherein the at least one receiving channel has a channel depth, the at least one receiving member has a receiving member thickness, and the channel depth is less than the receiving member thickness such that the outer face of the at least one receiving member is spaced apart from the front face of the insulated panel and an inner face of the at least one receiving member is flush with a base face of the receiving channel. 5. The insulated panel of claim 1, further comprising at least one support ridge extending from the front face of the insulated panel, the support ridge having an outer face, wherein the receiving member outer face and the support ridge outer face are equidistantly spaced apart from the front face of the insulated panel. 6. The insulated panel of claim 1, having at least a first receiving channel and a second receiving channel: wherein an interior section is defined between the first receiving channel and the second receiving channel, the interior section having an interior section width;wherein an end section is defined between the first receiving channel and the first vertical end edge, the end section having an end section width; andwherein the end section width is about one-half of the interior section width. 7. The insulated panel of claim 1, wherein the insulated panel further comprises drainage grooves set at an angle relative to the first horizontal end edge. 8. The insulated panel of claim 1, wherein the insulated panel is made from expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, rock wool, or polyurethane. 9. The insulated panel of claim 1, wherein the horizontal attachment member and the at least one receiving member are independently manufactured from plastic, rubber, metal, wood, or wood-plastic composites. 10. The insulated panel of claim 1, wherein one of the horizontal joining elements is a tongue and the other horizontal joining element is a groove. 11. The insulated panel of claim 1, wherein the horizontal attachment member and the at least one receiving member are independently mounted to the insulated panel with an adhesive, a friction-fit design, a fastener, by chemical bonding, or combinations thereof. 12. The insulated panel of claim 1, further comprising a first vertical joining element defined in the first vertical end edge and a second vertical joining element defined in the second vertical end edge; wherein the first and second vertical joining elements are substantially complementary in shape so that adjacent panels can engage each other. 13. An insulated panel for securing cladding to the surface of a building, the insulated panel comprising: a front face, a rear face, a first horizontal joining element defined in a first horizontal end edge, a second horizontal joining element defined in a second horizontal end edge, a first vertical end edge, a second vertical end edge, and at least one receiving channel in the front face;an attachment member for securing the insulated panel to the surface of a building, the attachment member being mounted to the rear face and extending beyond the first horizontal end edge; anda plurality of receiving members for securing cladding to the insulated panel, each receiving member being located in the at least one receiving channel and having an outer face into which an associated fastener can be inserted, and each receiving member has greater withdrawal resistance than the front face, and the receiving members being arranged in the front face so that a portion of each receiving member intersects a vertical axis running between the first horizontal end edge and the second horizontal end edge. 14. The insulated panel of claim 13, wherein a length of each receiving member is parallel to the vertical axis running between the first horizontal end edge and the second horizontal end edge, and a center of each receiving member lies on the vertical axis. 15. The insulated panel of claim 13, wherein a width of each receiving member is parallel to the vertical axis running between the first horizontal end edge and the second horizontal end edge, and a center of each receiving member lies on the vertical axis. 16. The insulated panel of claim 13, wherein a center of at least one receiving member does not lie on the vertical axis. 17. An insulated panel for securing cladding to the surface of a building, comprising: a foam panel having a front face, a rear face, a first horizontal joining element defined in a first horizontal end edge, a second horizontal joining element defined in a second horizontal end edge, a first vertical end edge, and a second vertical end edge;an attachment member mounted to the rear face and extending beyond the first horizontal end edge; andat least one rectangular receiving member attached to the front face of the foam panel, the at least one receiving member having greater withdrawal resistance than the foam panel and presenting a rectangular shape on the front face of the foam panel;wherein the first and second horizontal joining elements are substantially complementary in shape so that adjacent panels can engage each other; andwherein the at least one rectangular receiving member extends substantially from the first horizontal end edge to the second horizontal end edge of the insulated panel. 18. A kit for adding insulation to the surface of a building, comprising: a cladding member;a foam insulation panel comprising a front face, a rear face, a first joining element defined in a first substantially horizontal end edge, and a second joining element defined in a second substantially horizontal end edge;a horizontal attachment member mounted to the rear face and extending beyond the first substantially horizontal end edge; anda receiving member attached to the front face of the foam insulation panel, suitable for receiving an associated fastener to secure the cladding member, the receiving member having greater withdrawal resistance than the foam insulation panel and having an outer face into which the associated fastener can be inserted; andwherein the at least one rectangular receiving member extends substantially from the first substantially horizontal end edge to the second substantially horizontal end edge of the insulated panel.
