Abstract
An insulation system for hanging insulation in a truss is disclosed and includes a first rail configured to be installed on a first truss and a second rail configured to be installed on a second truss spaced apart from the first truss. A first cavity is established between the first rail and the second rail. Further, the first cavity is configured to receive and engage a first insulation batt.
Claims12
An insulation system for hanging insulation in a truss, comprising:
- a first insulation batt;
- a first rigid rail having a base plate configured to be installed on a first truss and at least one tine extending from the base plate and away from and not in contact with the first truss;
- and
- a second rigid rail having a base plate configured to be installed on a second truss and at least one tine extending from the base plate and away from and not in contact with the second truss, wherein the second rigid rail is spaced apart from the first rigid rail such that no part of the first rigid rail is in contact with any part the second rigid rail and a first cavity is established between the first rigid rail and the second rigid rail, wherein the first cavity is configured to receive the first insulation batt, and wherein the first insulation batt is held in place within the cavity through engagement of the at least one tine of the first rigid rail and the at least one tine of the second rigid rail with the first insulation batt.
An insulation system for insulating a gable, comprising:
- a first insulation batt,
- a first rigid rail comprising a base plate, a first tine configured to be installed on a first vertical stud, and second tine extending from the base plate and not in contact with the first vertical stud;
- and
- a second rigid rail comprising a base plate, a first tine configured to be installed on a second vertical stud, and second tine extending from the base plate and not in contact with the second vertical stud, wherein the second rigid rail is spaced apart from the first rigid rail, wherein no part of the first rigid rail is in contact with any part of the second rigid rail, wherein a first cavity is established between the first rigid rail and the second rigid rail, wherein the first cavity is configured to receive the first insulation batt, and wherein the first insulation batt is held in place within the cavity by through engagement of the second tine of the first rigid rail and the second tine of the second rigid rail with the first insulation batt, such that the second tine of the first rigid rail engages a first side of the first insulation batt and the second tine of the second rigid rail engages a second side of the first insulation batt.
