ABSTRACT:
An insulation support system for metal frame construction is provided. The system comprises an insulation support material and a metal frame. The metal frame comprises a plurality of metal members, wherein at least two opposing metal members have at least one portion thereof stamped out to protrude on one side. An exterior sheathing is attached to an opposing side of the metal frame. The stamped out protrusion engages the insulation support material. This system is particularly useful for steel frame construction and does not require the use of adhesives or additional tools. The method of the present invention involves providing a metal frame having a plurality of metal members wherein at least two opposing members have at least one portion thereof stamped out to protrude on one side and an exterior sheathing attached to an opposing side. An insulation support material is engaged and tensioned on the stamped out protruded portions of the opposing metal members forming a cavity between the insulation support material and the exterior sheathing. Insulation is blown into the cavity. This method allows for positive restraint of the insulation support material and high density insulation. Thus, a high "R" value is achieved. In addition, installation is independent of weather conditions, requires no additional tools, and is more efficient than those systems currently used.
