Framed wall insulation backing device, and related systems and methods

A framed wall insulation backing apparatus comprising:

• a substantially planar backing panel comprised of a plastic material;
• at least one attachment leg extending from the backing panel, wherein the at least one attachment leg is positioned in a substantially perpendicular direction from a plane of the backing panel;
• and
• at least one insulation-retention device formed on the backing panel and comprised of the plastic material, the at least one insulation-retention device being hingedly attached to the backing panel with a living hinge having a thickness, the living hinge formed from a decreased quantity of the plastic material in a location between the substantially planar backing panel and the at least one insulation-retention device such that the thickness of the living hinge is less than respective thicknesses of the substantially planar backing panel and the at least one insulation-retention device, wherein the at least one insulation-retention device is hingedly movable between co-planar and perpendicular positions relative to the substantially planar backing panel.

A framed wall insulation backing apparatus comprising:

• a substantially planar backing panel;
• at least one attachment leg extending from the backing panel, wherein the at least one attachment leg is positioned in a substantially perpendicular direction from a plane of the backing panel;
• and
• at least one insulation-retention device formed on the backing panel, wherein the at least one insulation-retention device is positionable to extend away from a planar face of the backing panel, wherein the at least one insulation-retention device further comprises:
• a spiked member hingedly attached to the backing panel and
• a fastener member hingedly attached to the backing panel, wherein the fastener member is connectable to the spiked member to retain the spiked member in a position extending beyond the planar face of the backing panel
• wherein the at least one of the spiked member and the fastener member are hingedly attached to the backing panel with a living hinge and wherein the fastener member being connectable to the spiked member further comprises a biased connection, whereby at least one of the fastener member and the spiked member exert a biased force on the other.
