ABSTRACT:
An insulation system is disclosed for installing insulation in existing metal buildings. The system includes extruded hat-shaped support members having a central wall portion mounted on the lower flange of the building purlins with screw fasteners or the like. The support member provides oppositely extending shelf portions on which are mounted bridging members. The bridging members are slotted or notched at their ends and fit over the shelf portions for mounting. Insulation is positioned over the shelf portions and is supported along its sides by said shelf portions. In one embodiment, rigid insulation panels have ends which fit into channels on the bridging members. In another embodiment, faced insulation blankets extend over the bridging members and are supported at intervals along their length by the bridging members and along their sides by the shelf portions. In such latter embodiment, strips of adhesive secure the facing of the blanket to the bridging members and support members. The support members are provided with a lip which temporarily supports the support members along their length, first in a hanging position, and thereafter, in the installed position to which they are rotated. The support provided by such lip allows easy installation and facilitates the positioning of the support members until the fasteners are installed.
